About Fondly
Fondly is a portfolio template for independent designers, developers and small studios — built as a calm, light mail app. Visitors land in an inbox: your introduction is a pinned email, case studies arrive as attachments, testimonials are a reply thread, and the contact page is a "New message" window. Familiar at first glance, memorable afterwards.
Pages
• Inbox — a pinned welcome letter with a display headline, six project attachments, a signature and the first replies
• Selected work — every project as an attachment, with label filters
• Project (CMS) — a case-study email with a facts table, live-site preview, story, gallery and "Visit live site" button
• Services — four services and a four-step process timeline
• Kind words — a threaded testimonial conversation with fold/unfold replies
• Rates — three plans presented as quotes, plus availability and a P.S.
• New message — a compose-window contact form with sending, sent and error states
• Licenses and a "This page bounced" 404
Feels like a real app
• A three-pane layout — translucent sidebar, message list and reading pane — floating as a window over a soft sky wallpaper
• A cinematic first load: the wallpaper settles, the window rises, and the open email writes itself in
• Persistent chrome, so moving between pages feels instant
• Unread dots, active rows, toolbar tooltips and a floating "Book an intro call" dock
• Hand-tuned desktop, tablet and phone layouts — on phones it becomes a mail app with a slide-in mailbox drawer
