Okay this one made my day.
Just got invited to on.design by Charles Patterson.
Been seeing designers hunt for invites everywhere lately, so I’m curious to see if this actually becomes the new place designers hang out and share work.
Anyone already inside?
@Framer template #7 coming soon!
Just shipped a complete rebuild of Pacts Studio.
I wanted the store to feel less like a landing page and more like a place where
you can actually browse, understand and choose a product comfortably.
Templates are easier to explore.
Every product has a real live preview.
The buying experience is much clearer.
The whole thing now feels much closer to what I want Pacts to become.
Built with Next.js, Sanity and a lot of attention to the small details.
Would love to know what you think.
if your law firm's website still routes people to a contact form
instead of just letting them book a call, you're losing clients before you ever talk to them.
chambers fixes that, one page, cal.com built in, live today.
Most investment websites don't have an information problem.
They have a hierarchy problem.
Strategy, portfolio, people, and insights all compete for attention,
so the site feels heavier than the firm itself.
For Stills, I built the structure around the order investors actually need
to understand a firm.
Most VC websites don’t need more effects.
They need stronger information hierarchy.
The investment thesis should be clear.
The portfolio should be easy to explore.
The team should feel credible.
The site should hold up when the content grows.
That’s the system I wanted Northbrook to solve inside Framer.
12 pages, 3 CMS collections and an LP Portal, built as one consistent institutional system.

The visual layer gets most of the attention, but I care just as much about
what happens underneath it.
Fast, accessible and production-ready should be part of the design.
Nice little update to the creator side of Framer.
New creator menu, cleaner profile layout, and everything feels a bit easier to navigate.
Small change, but a good one.
Went back through Northbrook with the buyer experience in mind.
The visual direction was already where I wanted it, so this update focused on everything around it.
A clearer design system, better setup guidance, cleaner CMS structure, project Skills, stronger responsive behavior and an easier file to customize after remixing.
Still built specifically for VC, PE, family offices and investment firms.
Northbrook is live on Framer again.
If you run out of design ideas, don’t force it.
Go feed your eyes on @thecosmos for 10 minutes.
You’ll come back with better taste, better references, and probably a new direction.

Framer Skills gets especially interesting for template creators.
If the Agent can understand the existing type styles, colors, components and CMS structure, it can extend the site without breaking the system you designed.
That turns a good template into more than a starting point.
It becomes the system the Agent builds from.

Post-launch refinement on Tenet Capital.
Tightened the homepage hierarchy, spacing
and overall pacing without changing the core system.
Small iteration, noticeably stronger result.
Pacts Studio is intentionally small.
I still make the product decisions, art direction and final calls.
AI and Codex handle more of the repetitive work behind the scenes:
implementation support, QA, CMS wiring, storefront changes and documentation.
That lets me spend more time on the part I don't want automated — judgment.
The goal isn't to imitate a large agency.
It's to keep the studio founder-directed while increasing what one person can ship well.

Pacts Studio started with Framer templates,
but I’m becoming more interested in the system behind
the individual products.
Different industries.
Different visual directions.
Different requirements.
But the same standard around typography, hierarchy,
responsiveness, CMS structure and restraint.
The goal is for every template to stand on its own while still feeling unmistakably Pacts.
