Template instructions (start here)

First of all, thanks for purchasing Folio — I'm thrilled! If you have any questions as you go through the setup process, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email. Let's get started!

⚡️UPDATE⚡️

09/07/21: I've added the ability to choose between both dark and light versions of the template. Check out the Head tab section below to see how to use activate it.

Duplicate this template to your own Notion workspace
Create your site on Super and use your newly created page as the Notion URL
Add your code to your Super settings: Sites > Settings (Gear Icon) > Code

‣

Under the Head tab, add the following code:

<!-- Product Theme styles -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://mattdowney.github.io/folio/style.css">

<!-- Light Theme -->

<!-- Remove this HTML comment to use the light theme

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://mattdowney.github.io/folio/light-styles.css">

Remove this HTML comment to use the light theme -->

<!-- jQuery v3.2.1 -->

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js' id='script-name-js'></script>

<!-- Product Theme javascript -->

<script defer="defer" async src="https://mattdowney.github.io/folio/site-min.js"></script>

<!-- Add Analytics here (optional) -->

Here's a short video showing how to activate the light theme:

Set up your pages on Super

Sync URLs

You can use Sync URLs if you like, but we find that adding pages manually to Super is a much more reliable way to handle page integration. This may change in the future, but we recommend doing this for now.

Before you launch, have a look at our checklist:

Checklist

Update your header navigation in Super

Change the links in the Footer database

Digital product design for business

Hi, I'm Jim – a longtime digital product designer and user experience consultant. My specialty is business apps.

Tools & Capabilities

Figma is my favorite design software, though Sketch holds a special place in my heart. I'm also cool with XD, if that's your thing.
I have lots of experience with, and opinions about, writing HTML & CSS (especially with Sass). This always informs my design work. I know enough JavaScript to break things; I then usually ask an expert to help me fix them 🙂
I can do research, and I can do visual design, but neither is my strongest suit. I've worked closely with both disciplines, and I know how to critique and support them.
I love working at the systems level, creating consistency across features or products. Design systems are a strong interest of mine.
