Margin Notes

About Margin Notes

A calm, editorial portfolio for independent product, brand and UI designers, freelancers and small studios. Big type, wide margins and one accent colour make you look senior from the first screen, and the structure is quick to fill in.

Why it works

  • Add a project once and it appears on Home, Work and its own case study page (Projects CMS, 8 examples)

  • Clients see whether you're booking, your local time and how to reach you

  • A contact form with service and budget fields

  • A big footer email that copies itself on click

  • Desktop, tablet and phone layouts with a full-screen phone menu

Pages

  • Home: featured project, selected work index with hover covers, services, about and a testimonial

  • Work: every project in a two-column grid

  • Case study: client, role, year, services, challenge, approach, outcome, one big result and a gallery

  • About, Contact and 404

FAQ

Do I need a paid Framer plan? No to remix and edit it. To publish on your own domain you need a Framer site plan.

Can I use it for client work? Yes, one purchase per site you launch.

Can I change fonts and colours? Yes. Colours and text styles are set up as styles, so a rebrand takes minutes.
