What's included in the Max template?

Single-page creative-developer portfolio — bold typography hero with clip-path entrance, “Worked With” brand-list marquee, project showcase grid, long-form testimonial sections, and a contact-first CTA. 18+ section components, light + dark mode, full TypeScript types, and the editable Figma source.

Do I need a Pro subscription to use it?

Yes. Max and every other shadcn.io template, block, and component are bundled in the Pro plan. One-time payment, lifetime updates — see /pricing for the breakdown.

Is Max only for solo developers, or does it work for small studios too?

Both. The personal-brand framing leans solo (single hero name + outsized typography), but the project showcase grid and brand-list sections scale cleanly to a 2–5 person studio. Add team members to the about section and the rest of the layout still reads correctly.

Next.js 15.4 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript 5.6, Tailwind CSS v4, and shadcn/ui v5.6. Hero animations and the brand-list hover effects are built on `motion/react` with reduced-motion fallbacks.

Can I add my own case studies and brand list?

Yes. Project case studies live in a typed array in `lib/projects.ts` (each entry has `title`, `role`, `year`, `cover`, `metrics`). The brand list is a single string array in `lib/brands.ts` — drop in your client names and the marquee renders them in order.

Does the hero typography stay readable on small screens?

Yes — the headline scales from `text-6xl` on mobile to `text-7xl` on desktop and `text-[88px]` at 2xl. The clip-path entrance animation downgrades gracefully at smaller sizes, and the `tracking-tighter` adjusts so long names don't break awkwardly.

Can I customize the brand colors and fonts?

Yes. Colors flow through Tailwind v4's CSS variables (edit OKLCH values in `app/globals.css` or paste a theme from /theme-generator). The default uses Cabinet Grotesk; swap via the `next/font` import in `app/layout.tsx` to match your personal type system.

Will I get future updates?

Yes. Pro is a one-time payment for lifetime updates. New sections, bug fixes, and shadcn/ui major-version upgrades land via the shadcn CLI or the MCP server.

About Template

Max is a bold, typography-driven portfolio template built for creative developers and freelance designers. Designed around an outsized headline aesthetic, it positions personal brand and craft front-and-centre — so visitors immediately understand the calibre of work you ship.

Every section is tuned for the freelance / creative-developer use case:

Core Features

Bold Typography Hero
Outsized 7xl heading with a clip-path entrance animation that establishes confident craft on first paint — no marketing fluff, just a name and a value proposition.
“Worked With” Brand List
Animated brand-name marquee (C2 Montreal, Office Studio, Locomotive, Silencio…) with hover-shift interactions that double as social proof for premium clients.
Project Showcase Cards
Multi-column case-study grid for portfolio work — each card supports a cover image, role, year, and outcome metric so the work tells its own story.
Long-Form Testimonials
Indented, large-format quote sections that read as endorsements rather than carousel filler. Built for the kind of testimonial that closes a $50K engagement.
Contact-First CTA
Streamlined contact section with email + booking link prominent, designed for the freelancer's “send me one good email” conversion path rather than a self-serve checkout.

Whether you're a solo creative developer landing your first client or a senior freelancer running a six-figure book, Max is the high-fidelity foundation that makes premium clients trust you on first impression.
