Templates I actually use on my own projects.

I make small, carefully built kits for websites, Notion, and Figma. Each one is tested on a real project before it goes up for sale.

How these get made

Four steps, in order. If a template fails any of them, it does not get sold.

  1. It starts as a real job

    I do not sit down to make a template. I make a thing for a project, use it for six months, and only then decide it holds up on its own. Half the ideas never get past this step, which is the point.

  2. I break it on purpose

    Then I fill it with the worst content I can think of. Forty-character names, missing images, one-word paragraphs. If it still reads well when it is ugly and full, it will read well when it is empty.

  3. A slow laptop says no

    Everything gets opened on a 2019 laptop and a phone from 2021. If it is not usable in about two seconds, something comes out. Almost every cut makes it better.

  4. Someone else has to use it

    Last, I hand it to a person who does not design and watch them change the colors without asking me. If they have to ask, the settings are wrong and I redo them.

A note from me

I run this on my own. Every template here started as a real job, got used for months, and only then did I clean it up and sell it. If something is half-finished, I will say so on the page.

Want something custom? I take two projects a quarter.
