NOSTALGIA.EXE · DESIGN TEMPLATE FOR FRAMER
A designer portfolio dressed as a 2001 desktop. Log in, open folders, double-click the work.
FREE TO REMIX · UNLIMITED SITES, CLIENT WORK INCLUDED · NO CHECKOUT
Nostalgia.exe is a free Framer template: a designer portfolio dressed as a 2001 desktop. A visitor logs in, opens folders and double-clicks the work. From the maker: "I took some time off from sellable templates and built this one to bring back the feeling of everything I saw growing up. Nostalgia.exe is all yours. Go and have fun." The desktop is the site. My Work holds six sample projects on the CMS, each opening as its own page. AboutMe.txt is the about page and New Message is the contact form. Then the parts nobody needs and everybody opens: a paint program you can draw in, a media player, a music player, a playable Minesweeper, a recycle bin of deleted projects and a shutdown screen. It stacks into a phone layout and has its own 404.
BEST FOR · designers who want to be remembered · illustrators and motion designers · anyone whose portfolio should be fun to open

Hello,
Most of the internet’s good design goes to companies that can afford it. Small businesses, freelancers and one-person agencies get the leftovers: cookie-cutter builders, agency quotes out of reach, websites that look like everyone else’s.
We think the small end of the internet deserves better. The barber, the bridal artist, the coach, the one-person agency carrying five clients. Their work is real. Their websites should look like it.
This studio is our answer. Complete websites designed with a point of view, priced so a one-person business can own one, and built so a normal person can open, edit and publish in a day. Every template here is a site we would ship for a paying client. If it is not good enough for that, it does not get listed.
The internet gets better one good small website at a time. Make yours one of them.
