what if your portfolio page was just all of it?
we put every project from our contra profile on one wall for the new apollo studio site.
This week we went through the PageSpeed scores of our templates, in Framer and in their Astro and Next.js versions. The rule was that nothing visible could change, only how things load.
In Framer, the levers we found were all in the parts you control yourself.
Code components that load images: add lazy loading to anything below the fold, and when a component draws into a small canvas, pick a smaller image size from the srcSet instead of the original.
Code components that run WebGL or canvas effects: start them when they come within about 1500px of the screen instead of at page load, and render them right away on the Framer canvas.
Background and hero videos: re-encode heavy files before uploading. One 4K hero film went down 25% with no visible difference, and two section loops went from 20 MB to 2.4 MB.
Google Fonts links inside code components block rendering, even when Framer already serves the same font. Remove them.
Every change was checked with screenshots of every page at three widths, before and after, compared pixel by pixel.
On desktop most of our Framer templates now score 90 or more in PageSpeed. Mote is at 98: https://mote.framer.ai
startfrom 2.0 is live.

made a little showreel for lapse. everything in it is the live site, no after effects.
preview: lapseai.framer.website
the scroll recording felt too plain, so i had opus 5.5 make a launch film for eave. it used the real pages, wrote a storyboard and coded every frame
a few pages from sunbeam, including the product UI. the bright colors carry through beyond the hero.
interior designers will spend a week getting the light right in a room, then show it on their own site at thumbnail size.
eave is a framer template that gives every project the whole screen. a hero that cycles through your work, a before-and-after on each project page, and a manifesto that blows apart as you scroll.
GoTeacher, a K-12 edtech platform, moved from Webflow to Framer. We built the new site on our Sunbeam template and adapted it to their brand, five product pages, case studies and blog.
framer stopped reviewing marketplace templates, so i turned our qa process into an agent skill. it checks the template, fixes what's broken and tells you the rest
