MOTIF — the design & motion studio Framer template
Warm editorial design-agency template — live reel hero, cinematic case studies, CMS journal, built-in buyer's guide.
What MOTIF is
A warm, gallery-light website for design and motion studios, where the work performs instead of sitting in a grid. The headline plays a live film cell, a filmstrip of case studies opens under the cursor and every project card runs its own reveal — then the studio, services, journal and a project brief follow.
What's inside MOTIF
Signature moments
- The Reel — a headline that plays your work
A live film cell inside “We make brands move.” plays the open project while a four-frame filmstrip opens under the cursor — or on its own beat.
- Capabilities that demo themselves
Each service row runs a live proof — a monogram drawing, a 200 OK bar, an easing race, crop brackets — cycling on a beat until you hover.
- Work plates that perform on scroll
Five alternating plates each open their own way: colour resolves, a mini-site scrolls, an ink loop draws, a wipe travels across.
- A method drawn as you scroll
A cobalt spine draws down the page as each step of the process arrives, every one with its own stroke-drawn sketch.
Content & CMS
- Work that reveals itself, from the CMS
Projects live in the CMS, and each card on the work page performs the reveal you pick for it — on scroll and on hover.
- Case studies with a next-project loop
Brief, approach, a gallery that reveals on scroll, results, the client’s quote and credits — then a band that carries visitors to the next case.
- A journal that builds itself
Write in the CMS and every post gets its own page with a cover, rich text and a next-article link that loops.
- Studio, team and a hiring card
Portraits and bios, beliefs and the studio’s story. Clear a photo and its slot turns into an art-directed placeholder, not a hole.
Built right
- The reel works on phones too
Tap a frame to open it, tap again for its case study. Its own tablet and phone layouts and a full-screen menu, checked down to 375px.
- A project brief that tells the truth
Type, budget and timeline chips with inline errors. Until you connect an endpoint it says plainly that nothing was sent.
- An opening veil
Motif® rises, a cobalt loop draws and the page wipes up — a couple of seconds on the first visit, quicker after that.
- SEO already set up
Page titles, descriptions, a share image and a favicon are in place from day one.
Every page, ready to go
11 page types come with the remix, each with its own desktop, tablet and phone layout.
Who MOTIF is built for

Questions, answered
Do I need to know how to code to use MOTIF?
No. MOTIF 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 design & motion studio 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?
The plain remix link: one click copies the whole MOTIF project into your Framer account. No email, no sign-up with us.
Can I use MOTIF for client work?
Yes — the free licence covers your own site or a client's. Reselling the template itself isn't allowed.
Is MOTIF responsive?
Yes. MOTIF 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?
It's free — remix it and try it. If you want more, All-Access is $199 once for every template we've made and every one we'll make.
