8 best Framer resume templates
The 8 best Framer resume templates for 2026. A resume site beats a PDF for anything creative — compare layouts, prices and pick one you can launch this week.
12 min
Introduction
A PDF resume gets skim-read in a tab and closed. A URL gets opened on a phone, forwarded to a hiring manager, and remembered — and for anything creative it shows the work instead of describing it.
The trap is building a portfolio by accident. A resume site needs your experience readable in about thirty seconds, a few pieces of proof, and a way to get hold of you. These eight Framer templates all get there without a long build.
What a resume site actually needs
Most people over-build this. You’re not competing on how much you can fit on the page — you’re competing on how fast someone can decide to reply to you.
- Your name and what you do, visible without scrolling
- Experience in reverse order, dates included
- Three to five pieces of work, not fifteen
- An email address that’s one tap on a phone
- A link to the PDF, for the people who still want one
Everything past that is decoration. Pick the template with the layout closest to that list and you’ll be live in an evening.
1. Minimal portfolio
The shortest route from nothing to a live resume site. Four pages — home, about, work and a 404 — and no structure to fight with. There’s no separate project page, so deep case studies have nowhere to live; that’s the trade for how fast it goes up.
Key features
- Four pages — home, about, work and 404
- Automatic light and dark mode based on system preferences
- CMS-driven work section
- Custom page-load animation
- Global style variables for colour and type
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Designers applying for roles who need a live URL by the end of the week and would rather spend the time on the application itself.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Fastest setup on this list — swap the copy and publish
- A separate about page without building one
- The work section grows from the CMS as you add projects

2. Format
Format reads like a well-set CV. Clear type hierarchy, generous spacing, and sections that scan in order instead of competing for attention. Three pages only, and no automatic dark mode — it commits to one look and sets it well.
Key features
- Three pages — home, project page and 404
- Clean editorial type hierarchy
- CMS-driven project pages
- Global style variables for colour and type
- Custom 404 page
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
People applying into structured teams — in-house design, research, product — where a recruiter is scanning for dates and titles before anything else.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Type hierarchy does the sorting, so experience scans fast
- Reads as professional without reading as corporate
- Project pages are there when you need depth, not by default
3. Jonas
Jonas leads with a short personal statement and moves straight into work. The structure suits someone whose case for hiring is the projects more than the job titles. Same three-page footprint as Format, but with automatic dark mode and a page-load animation.
Key features
- Three pages — home, project page and 404
- Automatic light and dark mode based on system preferences
- CMS-driven work section
- Custom page-load animation
- Global colour and typography styles
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Career changers and freelancers going permanent, where the work makes the argument that a job title can’t.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Opens with your pitch, not a nav bar
- Project pages carry the detail an interview would otherwise cover
- Dark mode ships working — there’s no second theme to build
4. Accent
Accent is minimal with one strong colour doing the work, set as a global variable so the palette is a single change. Three pages, and no about or contact page — everything lives on the home page, which keeps it short but limits how much history you can show.
Key features
- Three pages — home, project page and 404
- Minimal layout built around a single accent colour
- Global colour variable — change the palette in one place
- CMS-driven work section
- Custom 404 page
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Junior and mid-weight designers who need to stand out in a long shortlist without resorting to novelty.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- One colour change makes the site feel like yours
- Memorable at a glance, still readable on a phone
- Minimal enough that weak project images don’t sink it
5. Sharp
Sharp is the most confident layout here. Big type, 3D transforms on the hover states, and a CMS that drives writing as well as work — so a resume site can carry a case study and a written piece side by side. No automatic dark mode.
Key features
- Four pages — home, project page, blog post and 404
- CMS for work and for writing
- Framer 3D transforms
- Custom page-load animation
- Global colour and typography styles
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Senior and lead designers whose interviews turn on process and decisions, not screenshots.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- A blog post page means a written work sample has somewhere to live
- Large type reads well on the shared screen in an interview
- Scales from three projects to fifteen without a redesign
6. Irene
A dark resume site, done properly. Irene keeps contrast high enough to stay readable, which most dark templates get wrong. Five pages including dedicated about and contact — the most complete structure here after Offset.
Key features
- Five pages — home, about, contact, project page and 404
- Dark theme with high-contrast type
- CMS-driven work section
- Global colour and typography styles
- Custom 404 page
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Product and UI designers whose work is mostly interface screenshots, which read better against a dark background.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Dark background flatters screenshots and UI work
- Separate about and contact pages without building them
- Stands out from a shortlist of white portfolio sites
7. Lucid
Lucid adds a proper writing section to a plain resume layout — seven pages, with work and writing on separate CMS collections. If you’ve written anything worth reading, it gives you somewhere to put it that isn’t Medium.
Key features
- Seven pages — home, about, writing, contact, writing page, project page and 404
- Separate CMS collections for work and writing
- Automatic light and dark mode based on system preferences
- Page transitions between routes
- Global colour and typography styles
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
Designers and researchers applying to roles where writing is part of the job, and a writing sample helps the application.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Writing lives on your own domain, not a platform
- Work and writing stay separate rather than sharing one feed
- Plain layout keeps the focus on the content
8. Offset
Offset gives you six pages, so experience, work and contact each get their own room instead of stacking into one long scroll. Light and dark follow the visitor’s system setting. More setup than the three-page templates here, and worth it if you’re in for a long search.
Key features
- Six pages — home, work, about, contact, project page and 404
- Automatic light and dark mode based on system preferences
- CMS-driven work section
- Custom page-load animation
- Global style variables for colour and type
- Three breakpoints — desktop, tablet and mobile
Perfect for
People in a long job search who want a site that keeps working as a portfolio afterwards, rather than one built for a single application.
Price and licence
$149 · Single site licence
Benefits
- Separate pages keep a long history from becoming a long scroll
- Dark mode ships working, with no second theme to maintain
- Outlives the job search as a general portfolio
How to choose
Pick on how long your search is likely to run. For one or two applications this month, Minimal portfolio or Accent will be live tonight. For a search running into next quarter, Offset or Irene give you the about and contact pages the three-page templates don’t have.
On tone: Format and Offset read as professional, Accent reads as confident, Irene reads as technical. Sharp is the one to take if an interviewer will ask you to talk through a decision. Pick the one closest to the room you want to walk into.
One thing worth saying — a resume site doesn’t replace the PDF. Most application systems still want a file upload. Keep the PDF, link to it from the site, and let the site do the persuading.

Frequently asked questions about Framer resume templates
Do I need to know Framer to use a resume template?
No. Every template here is edited by clicking text and swapping images. You need a free Framer account, and you connect a domain when you publish. No code at any point.
How long does it take to get a resume site live?
An evening for the three and four-page templates if your content is ready. The longest part is writing the copy and choosing which projects to include — not the build.
Should I use a resume site instead of a PDF?
Use both. Most application systems still require a file upload, so keep the PDF and link to it from the site. The site is what people share and remember.
How many projects should I include?
Three to five. A shortlist reads as editing ability. Fifteen projects reads as an archive and nobody gets to the end of it.
Which of these have dark mode?
Minimal portfolio, Jonas, Lucid and Offset switch automatically with the visitor’s system setting. Irene is dark by design. Format, Accent and Sharp are light only.
Can I use one template for a resume now and a portfolio later?
Yes, and Offset and Lucid are the two built for it. Both have CMS-driven sections and enough pages to keep adding to long after the job search is over.
Buying more than one? Unlimited Access bundles every Framer template and component for less than the price of two.
