PaperHouse is a production-ready Astro 7 bento portfolio theme built for studios, designers, and freelancers who want to look premium without hiring a developer.
Why PaperHouse exists
Most portfolio themes look the same. Brutalist grids, mono fonts, AI-generated hero images. They load fast but feel empty. PaperHouse takes the opposite approach — bento layouts, human serif type, and space that breathes.
This is the exact formula that sells on ThemeForest, Framer, and Gumroad. Clean, not brutalist. Human, not AI.

PaperHouse isn’t just pretty — it’s engineered to sell. Every page is structured to guide visitors from curiosity to checkout:
- Home — hero, featured works, and a clear $45 CTA
