Ellery is a personal site that fits on one screen of reading: a short intro beside a portrait, a summary in six lines, your socials, then your projects and your writing side by side. It is set in Inter alone, in light and dark, with a toggle that remembers each visitor's choice. The header carries your name, a live clock and the temperature where you are. ### Made for - Designers and builders - Independent makers with a few projects to show - Anyone who writes short notes as well as making things ### Best for - Designers and developers between roles - Makers with side projects and notes - A personal page to link from every profile ### Not for - Studios showing case studies - Photographers whose work is the pictures ### Also consider - [Lola](https://openfile.pro/template/lola): A site for a small design studio that makes websites, brands and graphics. - [Elias Vane](https://openfile.pro/template/elias-vane): A portfolio for a landscape or travel photographer, built around series rather than single frames. ### Everything on the first page The home page holds the intro, a six-line summary, your socials, four projects and every post, so a visitor sees the whole of you without clicking. ### Projects and writing on the CMS Each project is a row with its logo in a coloured circle and a link out; each post has its own page with a link to the next. ### Small touches that feel alive A live clock and the local temperature in the header, a spinning record that plays a song in an overlay, and an intro where your portrait springs into place. ## Desktop, tablet and phone The Ellery home page at each breakpoint, captured from the published site. Each layout is set separately, not scaled down. - Desktop, 1440 pixels - Tablet, 810 pixels - Phone, 390 pixels ## Everything in Ellery ### Pages - Home: / - Projects: /projects - Writing: /writing - Writing post: /writing/:slug ยท CMS, 8 entries - 404: /404 ### CMS - Projects: 9 entries to start from - Writing: 8 entries to start from ### Design system - Fonts: Inter - Palette: #FFFFFF, #D9DADC, #576E82, #BEA398 - Breakpoints: Desktop, tablet and phone ### Built in - Light and dark: A sun and moon toggle that follows the system until a visitor picks, and remembers the choice - Live header: Your name, a live clock in your time zone and the current temperature, from Open-Meteo with no key - Now playing: A spinning record that opens a song in an overlay - Intro animation: The portrait springs into place, then the words and logos follow ### With it - The template: A Framer remix link, free - Updates: Lifetime - Framer Pro: Three months on an annual plan when you publish ### Good to know - Mira Ellery is a stand-in: the name, portrait, summary, figures, places and song are all to replace with your own. - The projects are Openfile's own templates, and the social links and the newsletter link go to openfile.pro, as samples. - The writing posts are stand-in text, to replace in the Writing collection. ## What the licence lets you do ### Free licence: Free Your own sites and client work #### You can - Use it for your own sites, including commercial ones. - Use it for client work, as part of a site you build for them. - Change anything in it. #### You cannot - Sell, share or give away the template itself. - Post it on another marketplace or template site. - Use it to make templates or components that compete with it. - Present it as your own original work. A plain summary. The binding text is Framer's Community Terms, and the licence page explains both. [Read the licence](https://openfile.pro/licence) ## Before you buy ### What do I get with Ellery? The whole site as a Framer project: 5 pages, 2 CMS collections, laid out for desktop, tablet and phone. Leave your email and the remix link is sent to it; Framer copies the site into your workspace. ### How do I make it mine? 1. Remix the template. 2. Replace the name, portrait, intro and summary. 3. Set the clock's time zone and the temperature's location to your own. 4. Edit the Projects and Writing 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 Free licence covers your own sites and client work. The licence page has the details. ### 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. ### Where do Ellery's clock and temperature come from? Both are code components in the file. The clock ticks every second in a time zone you choose, and the temperature comes from Open-Meteo, which needs no key, for a latitude and longitude you set, refreshing every 15 minutes. Change the location label in the header to match. ### How does the light and dark toggle in Ellery work? Every colour style has a light and a dark value. With no choice made, the site follows the visitor's system setting; once they press the sun or moon, their choice is kept in their browser for the next visit. ### Can I change the song in Ellery's now playing row? Yes. The title is a text component and the overlay plays a YouTube video, so you set your own song by changing the title and the video's address. The record artwork is an image you can swap too. ## Posts about Ellery - [Ship the portfolio you keep meaning to make](https://openfile.pro/blog/ship-the-portfolio-you-keep-meaning-to-make) (2026-10-12)
