Folio

Folio is a bold, Swiss-style portfolio for studios, agencies and freelancers. A giant typographic homepage, case-study pages that read like editorial features and a studio journal make your work the hero.

Who it is for

• You run a design studio, agency or freelance practice
• You want case studies that read like editorial features
• You also write a studio journal or newsletter
• You like strong type, lots of white space and one bold colour

Probably not for you if

• You need a shop or client portal
• Your projects have few or no images
• You want a dark, cinematic look — see Noir

Pages and layouts

Page templates: Work, Team, Membership, Signin, Signup, Account.

Extra post layouts: Full bleed.

Getting set up

• Case studies: add the internal tag #work to every project post. It gives the post the case-study layout and puts it in the project index.
• Disciplines: give each project one or more public tags such as Branding or Editorial. They fill the services list and the Discipline column.
• Journal: create a public tag with the slug journal for studio notes and articles. The homepage shows the newest three.
• Contact: set Contact email, Studio location and Studio timezone (for example Europe/Amsterdam) in Design → Site wide.
• Upload the theme zip in Ghost Admin → Settings → Design, then fill in the theme settings.
• Import the sample content if you want to start from the demo and replace it with your own posts.

What you download
