About This Template

A sticky-sidebar dark portfolio

Sawad is the engineer-portfolio archetype — a profile card pinned to the left while the work scrolls past on the right. Every page reuses the same sidebar so the visitor always knows whose work they are looking at.

Built for solo engineers and designers

Senior software engineers, product designers, freelance founders and creative directors who want a single dense home page plus deep archive pages for projects, experience, tools and writing. The hero leads with a two-tone display headline and a stats strip; the second screen is a pair of oversized skill cards that anchor what the person actually does.

Warm-dark palette with a single orange accent

Warm-black background, white type, one orange accent for status and CTAs, and a single lime card to give the page a second visual register. Poppins for the big uppercase heads, Satoshi for body. The lime card is the one place the design lets a second color in — restraint everywhere else.
