About Template
Arete is a story-driven, results-focused portfolio template for freelance creative developers. It pairs a magazine-scale hero (a single word, “CREATIVE”, at `text-[12rem]`) with a service-list layout that lets prospects pre-qualify themselves — “How can I help you?” reads as an invitation, not a feature dump.
Every section is built around the freelance creative-developer pitch:
Core Features
Magazine-Scale Hero
Outsized single-word headline at `text-[12rem]` on desktop with subtle entrance animation — establishes confident craft on first paint with editorial-level type.
“How Can I Help You?” Services
Animated services list with hover-shift interactions that lets prospects self-select the engagement type — design, dev, branding — before they hit the contact form.
Esteemed Clients Roster
Hover-aware client list (Pclub.io, Liftinfluence, Midas, Carl Sagun…) — typography-first social proof that doubles as a navigation cue into the case studies below.
Case-Study Detail Pages
Per-project deep dives with hero image, role, and outcome — so each engagement gets its own narrative arc rather than competing in a generic grid.
Story-First CTA
Contact section framed as “let's talk about your story,” designed for the freelancer's relationship-driven sales path rather than a self-serve checkout.
Whether you're shipping client work from Accra, Berlin, or Brooklyn, Arete is the high-fidelity foundation for landing premium engagements with the kind of brands that take craft seriously.
