Aerra skips the usual homepage entirely. Pawel Gola built this Framer template as a single wall of images for a photographer, art director or visual artist, opening on a five-column grid of tall rounded tiles running edge to edge on a near-black background. There's no headline. A small translucent bar with the wordmark and a menu icon floats at the top, and the bottom of the screen holds a little name card with an avatar and social icons, plus a Selected Work dropdown in the middle.
What makes it work is the sorting. The tiles are grouped by color as you scroll: a band of mossy greens with a tennis racket and a mojito, then warm yellows, then oranges with sliced citrus and a kitchen splashback, then reds with a flamingo and a sports car, purples, deep blues, and finally blacks and grays. After the last row the grid comes back around to the greens, so the page feels endless. Click a tile and the project opens to a large single image with a Details drawer and a grid button to jump back. We like the color ordering: a mixed body of work suddenly looks curated.
On a 390px phone the grid drops to two columns of the same tall tiles, the floating bar stays at the top, and the Selected Work control sits at the bottom.
We'd pick Aerra for someone with a large, varied archive of strong single images who wants the work to speak first. The catch is that there's almost no text: no visible about section, no services and no form on the homepage, so anyone who needs to explain what they do will be leaning on the menu and the project details.
