HALIDE — the photography portfolio Framer template
The photography portfolio where every commission is its own case study — one CMS row builds the page, its frames, its captions and the print spec. Archival colour, not a lightbox.
What HALIDE is
A photography portfolio built like a darkroom. The site opens on a test strip that develops into one print, the hero’s aperture opens on a single frame, and every commission becomes its own case study from one CMS row — frames, captions, brief and outcome included.
What's inside HALIDE
Signature moments
- An enlarger for a hero
The giant wordmark sits behind a single frame; a red line sweeps down and the aperture opens, leaving HA and DE readable either side.
- A loader that’s a test strip
The first photograph arrives in seven bands, each at its own exposure, then settles into one print and lifts away on an iris.
- Thirteen entrances, no repeats
Every section arrives its own way — digital resolve, ink soak, iris, stomp, neon — so the scroll never falls into a pattern.
- A wall that converges
Eight frames start scattered deep in 3D space and assemble into a gallery wall as the visitor scrolls.
Content & CMS
- One CMS row, one case study
Add a commission and it builds its own page — up to six frames with captions, the brief, approach and outcome. Empty slots simply disappear.
- Four collections, one source
Work, wall, archive and the client index live in the CMS — edit a row once and every surface that shows it updates.
- A client marquee in the hero
Selected clients scroll across the foot of the hero, straight from the CMS index.
- A commissions form
Name, reply address and brief on a native Framer form, with Send it → Sending → Sent states built in.
Built right
- Photographs that develop
Images resolve out of blocks or soak in like ink as they enter frame, and cards lean toward the pointer in 3D.
- Phones get their own layout
Inner pages carry desktop, tablet and phone layouts; on small screens the menu becomes one word, MENU, and opens full-screen.
- No dead ends
The wordmark always goes home, the nav marks the page you’re on, and every page ends with a pager to the next.
- SEO already set up
Each case study carries its own page title, and a share image and custom favicon are in place from day one.
Every page, ready to go
9 page types come with the remix, each with its own desktop, tablet and phone layout.

Questions, answered
Do I need to know how to code to use HALIDE?
No. HALIDE is a Framer template: every word, colour, font and image is edited on the Framer canvas or in the properties panel and the CMS. A Start Here page inside the project lists every edit a photography portfolio site needs.
Do I need a paid Framer plan?
Not to remix and edit — a free Framer account is enough. To publish on your own domain you'll need a Framer site plan, paid to Framer, not to us.
What do I get after paying?
The remix link by email, instantly. One click copies the whole HALIDE project — 9 page types, every section and CMS collection you see on the live preview — into your Framer account. Pro and All-Access orders also receive the SoloFoundry bonus kit.
Can I use HALIDE for client work?
Standard covers one website. Pro and All-Access cover unlimited websites, including client projects. Reselling the template itself isn't allowed.
Is HALIDE responsive?
Yes. HALIDE ships with its own desktop, tablet and phone layouts, a real mobile menu, and it is checked down to 320 px wide before it is listed.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final, because the full project is delivered the moment you pay. Explore the live preview first, and email solofoundryhq@gmail.com with any question before you buy.
