Muse is a one page dark themed portfolio layout. It’s dark tone and smooth scrolling gives a magical experience.

The target audience of this template is creative freelancers. That includes copyrighters, illustrators, designers, painters, coders, programmers, musicians, bands, cartoonists, magicians. Any artistic craft.

The theme consists of 4 sections. An introduction, portfolio, about, and a contact form.

The Introduction The introduction works on the 5 second rule. Entice the user in 5 seconds or they will leave. This is why the introduction only details your name/brand, a photo, contact details and a brief description of who and what you are.

Portfolio The portfolio is where you showcase your work. The images are put into a conveyor-belt which scrolls based on the cursors movement. Creative and well planned UI.

The “What I Offer” is a good measurement of your skill set. Having this makes it very easy for a potential customer to view what you’re capable of.

About Me Give your site a bit of personality and converse that through here. Relatively simple, write an about me. The brown text is meant as satire so be eccentric!

Contact Form The contact form will work out of the box, all that’s required is for you to enter your destination email address.. The required services and projected budgets are easily editable through HTML alone.

Muse works in all major browsers, features some nice CSS3 properties and degrades gracefully for older browsers.
