Framer Portfolio Technical Overhaul & Customization

Joshua, a multi-faceted Creative Director with a background in design and marketing, needed to transition his portfolio from Wix to a more high-performance, cinematic platform. The goal was to build a site that reflected his multidisciplinary expertise while ensuring it was robust enough for high-level leadership job applications.

Wix Limitations: The original site lacked the fluid, premium feel required for a high-end creative portfolio.

Technical Bugs: The project required solving complex navigation issues, specifically a "scroll restoration" bug where the page wouldn't start at the top upon loading a new project.

Tight Deadline: The build and migration needed to be completed while maintaining high quality during a time-sensitive period.

Wix to Framer Migration: Successfully moved all assets and project data to Framer for better performance and a "premium" feel.

Custom Code Overrides: Developed custom code to force "Scroll to Top" on page mount, bypassing native transition conflicts and ensuring a smooth user experience.

Interactive Features: Implemented a custom Lightbox effect for image galleries and a custom cursor to elevate the cinematic aesthetic.

CMS Architecture: Set up a flexible CMS backend to allow for easy updates as Joshua expands his body of work.

100% Satisfaction: The client described the work as a "True Expert" delivery, noting that every challenge was solved quickly.

Domain & Launch: Successfully connected a custom domain via the Hover/Framer integration, securing a free year for the client through a yearly plan upgrade.

Bonus & Recommendation: The project was completed so successfully that it resulted in a $50 bonus and a glowing professional recommendation on Contra.
