Dana: Portfolio Architecture for Professional UX Designers

If you were browsing the web circa 1998, splash pages were everywhere. Flash-powered intros with dramatic music, spinning logos, and “Welcome to our website!” animations were a standard part of the design process. Those days are long gone, but they haven't vanished entirely. Brands still use splash pages for age verification, country and language selection, or simply to create a bold first impression.

Introducing the Updated Dana Portfolio Template

As a designer, having an impressive portfolio website is crucial in showcasing your work to potential clients and employers. And what better way to do that than with a sleek and stylish portfolio template like Dana? The good news is, it's free! And it just got a fresh update, incorporating the latest features from Framer.


Automatic Switching between Light and Dark Themes

One of the most notable updates is the automatic switching between light and dark themes based on your system preferences. This means that visitors to your website will see the most appropriate theme based on their device settings - whether it's light or dark. This feature provides a seamless user experience, making it easier for visitors to navigate your website without straining their eyes.


Project Pages that Adjust Layout Based on CMS Settings

In addition, the project pages now adjust their layout based on the CMS settings of each item. This means that your portfolio items will look great, regardless of their format or size, ensuring that your work is showcased in the best possible way.

Customizable Hero Section

And let's not forget about the hero section. With the new update, you can easily spruce it up by swapping the gradients which are already included in the project. This simple yet effective change can add a touch of creativity and uniqueness to your website, making it stand out from the rest.
