Template guide

Make this site yours.

A ten-minute walk through the pieces: styles, content, search, the contact form and publishing. Delete this page when you are done.

01

Rename it

Swap the logo mark and the word Tracewell in the Nav and Footer components, then set your site title, description and language in Site Settings.

02

Set your colours

Open Styles. The colour styles hold the dark theme. The light theme lives in the Theme Switch component, one line per colour style.

03

Change the type

Three fonts: Host Grotesk for display, Geist for text and Geist Mono for labels. Edit the text styles and every page follows.

04

Write your content

Posts holds both articles and changelog entries, told apart by Type. Docs uses Section and Order to build the sidebar and the index.

05

Update search

The Search component lists your pages. Docs, blog and changelog links on the open page are added automatically.

Point the form

The contact form uses Framer Forms. Add your email under Site Settings, Forms, and send a test message.

Motion

Quiet by default.

Reveals use opacity and a short rise, 400 to 650 ms, one time. Hovers take 240 ms. The headline on every page is visible at first paint. Visitors who prefer reduced motion see the final state of every element. Layers whose name ends in (motion) are held still by the Motion Guard component.
