About Mara Eklund

MARA EKLUND, a bright editorial portfolio for designers, photographers and videographers

Mara Eklund is built on a simple idea: a portfolio should be quick to make your own. One landing page, one project page, and a system small enough to hold in your head. Nine text styles, ten colours, two collections.

No clutter, and no twelve pages to delete before you can start. Just red on cream, oversized type, and your work in full colour against it.

Who it's for

Designers, photographers, videographers, illustrators and studios who want a confident, minimal presence, and would rather spend the afternoon on their work than on a template.

What you get

* 3 pages. Home, Project and 404. Small on purpose.

* Projects CMS. 18 fields: title, year, category, client, role, location, a cover, a video, a five-image gallery, description, process, result, and its own SEO title and description.

* Clients CMS. Three fields, six lines. Your credits stay a list you edit, not a layout you rebuild.

* One system, nine styles. Nine text styles and ten colour tokens. Change one and the site follows.

* Motion that follows the scroll. Smooth scrolling, a loading plate that counts up, a statement that lights up as you read, parallax photos, and photos that trail the cursor across the index.

* A work grid that stays honest. Hover a card and the title rolls, a red rule draws, and the photo opens slowly. Load more adds rows without repeating a pattern.

* Fully responsive. Desktop, tablet and phone, measured on all three.

* Built native. 9 components in named folders, 4 small code files, every setting labelled in plain English.

* Documented. A Start Here page in eleven steps, and a Branding page for the colour, type and spacing system.

* SEO-ready. The home and the 404 carry their own title and description, every project gets its own from the CMS.
