Accession

A free museum website template for small museums, galleries, heritage sites and volunteer-run historical societies. Every object in your collection is shown the way a catalogue shows it: photographed on a coloured sweep, with a plate number and a museum label. Remix it for free and publish it on your own domain with Framer's Basic plan.

Why small museums and galleries choose Accession

• A numbered 'Find your way' wayfinding strip routes visitors to Visit, What's on, Collection, Research, Venue hire and Support.

• Open today? How much? Where? Hours, admission, address and access live in one Visiting component that feeds the header pill, the home page ticket and the footer; the Visit and Access pages add the full detail.

• Collections in the CMS: object number, date, maker, material, dimensions, credit and where to see it, each on its own plate. A Plate Colour field keeps your own photos on a curated colour.

• Exhibitions and events in the CMS: exhibitions, talks, walks and workshops with dates, prices and booking links, plus an exhibition-on-now feature.

• An honest access guide, a visit page with hours and prices, and downloadable sample PDFs (large-print guide, sensory map, annual report).

• Getting involved: membership tiers, volunteering, donations, offering an object, venue hire and schools, with 7 ready forms.

Built for volunteers to keep up to date

• Donate and Join buttons open a built-in demo page until you connect your own platforms; the Go-live guide shows how.

• 20 pages, 2 CMS collections (Programme, Objects), each with a detail page.

• Designed for desktop, tablet and phone. Appear and hover effects, a slowly drifting hero plate with parallax and a Pause motion button, and reduced-motion support.

• Rokkitt and Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, from the Framer font library.

• A step-by-step Go-live guide (remix → customise → your own domain).
