## Built around series, the way a photographer works.

Elias Vane is set out like a photographer's desk: polaroid frames, washi tape and a film strip on ivory and espresso, with Instrument Serif headings, Instrument Sans for text, JetBrains Mono for labels and Caveat for handwritten notes.

Each series has its own page on the CMS, with its facts and a gallery of six captioned frames. Around them sit a services page with rates for commissions and prints, a journal, a newsletter signup and a contact form.

### Made for

- Landscape and travel photographers
- Photographers who sell prints or take commissions
- Anyone whose work comes in series

### Best for

- Landscape and travel photographers
- Photographers who sell prints
- Photographers who take commissions

### Not for

- Photographers who need client proofing or online booking
- Design studios and agencies

### Also consider

- [Lola](https://openfile.pro/template/lola): A site for a small design studio that makes websites, brands and graphics.

### Every series, its own page

Each project on the CMS carries its camera, frames, client, place and dates, a gallery of six captioned frames that open in a lightbox, and a link to the next series.

### Work people can sort

The work page filters the series by theme, switches between a grid and an index, and loads more as the visitor goes.

### Ways to hire you

A services page sets out rates for commissions and prints and how a project runs, and the contact form asks what the project is, and where and when.

## Before you buy

### What do I get with Elias Vane?

The whole site as a Framer project: 10 pages, 3 CMS collections, laid out for desktop, tablet and phone. You pay in Polar's secure checkout, here on the page, and the Framer remix link comes straight after, by email too.

### How do I make it mine?

1. Remix the template.
2. Replace the name, photographs and contact details.
3. Set the hero's photographs and the clock's time zone in their component settings.
4. Edit the Projects and Blog collections.
5. Update page titles and meta descriptions, then publish.

### Do I need to write code?

No. Text, images, colours and CMS entries are all edited in place in the Framer editor.

### Can I use it on more than one website?

The Standard licence covers one website. The Pro licence covers unlimited websites. The licence page has the details.

### Can I get a refund?

Templates are digital and delivered the moment you pay, so sales are final, unless the law where you live says otherwise. Polar, who take the payment as merchant of record, handle any refund request.

### What if I get stuck?

Write to support@openfile.pro. Replies come within 48 hours on weekdays, and setup questions and bugs in the template are covered.

### Can I use Elias Vane for another kind of photography?

Yes. The sample work is landscape and travel, but the structure is series, services and a journal. The themes the work page filters by are options in the Projects collection, Mountains, Coast & Sea, Desert and Cities to start, so a portrait or architecture photographer renames them.

### How do I change the photographs in Elias Vane's hero?

The drifting polaroids come from the hero's code component rather than the CMS, so you set them in its own image settings. The series and journal photographs are in their CMS collections.

### Does the camera cursor make a sound?

Only if you keep it. It can play a shutter sound on a click and a soft focus sound over links, each a setting you can turn off, and browsers let it play only after the visitor's first click or key press. It hides on touch screens and respects reduced motion.
