We build cinematic Next.js websites for a living, and we have just made six of them free. Each one is the full source, not a stripped "lite" copy: the same zip a paying buyer gets, with a README and step-by-step documentation. One licence covers personal and commercial use, so you can build client sites with them too. You can't resell the files as a template.
Before we released them, a script set each zip up the way a buyer would: a clean folder, npm ci, a type check, a production build and a dev server, on Node 24 and Node 22. Then it opened every page at 360, 768, 1280 and 1536 px and compared it with the hosted demo. All six passed with no errors.
The six
- Lightwork — a résumé that plays like a game intro: a projector lights a white model town, chapter by chapter. Live demo
- Playable Résumé — a side-scrolling résumé; a small character walks through five levels. Underneath is a plain, printable résumé for recruiters and ATS. Live demo
- Interactive Résumé — a calm, illustrated scroll story; skills are creatures, jobs are machines, with a plain résumé one click away. Live demo
- Maun — a one-page honey shop where a jar marked in metres fills as you climb the mountain. Live demo
- Sorted — an accountant's site told as a short film: a storm of paperwork put in order, with a live UK tax calendar and a fee estimator. Live demo
- Swatch — a 15-page beauty store where the texture sells the product: swipe-to-test hero, shades on 10 skin tones, a quiz, bag and checkout. Live demo
Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and GSAP; some use three.js.
