Freefolio is a collection of 15+ free, MIT-licensed portfolio website templates built with pure HTML and CSS by the OSSPhilippines (OSSPH) community, designed to be downloaded, customized, and deployed with zero dependencies or build steps.
What is Freefolio?
Freefolio is a GitHub repository of static portfolio website templates that you download and customize rather than host through a proprietary builder. Each template is a self-contained folder with an index.html and assets; the only output is a finished HTML/CSS site you can upload to any web server or hosting service. The project is maintained by the OSSPhilippines community, and the templates are showcased at freefolio.web.app.

npm install, and no build process; you edit files and they run as-is. - MIT licensed — All templates are 100% free forever under the MIT License, permitting personal use, commercial use, modification, and redistribution.
- Mobile responsive — Templates are built to look good on all device sizes without extra configuration.
