MY FIRST FRAMER TEMPLATE GOT APPROVED & PUBLISHED IN THE MARKETPLACE. After 3 months of reviews.

Yup. 3 months of thinking I had all the requirements met.

Here's what I learned along the way, in case you're going through the same process:

1. You need a clear user persona I wanted to make my template general enough that anyone could use it. Huge mistake. By trying to serve everyone, it served nobody. This was actually a rejection reason.

2. Be consistent with your buttons If you have a "Contact" button, every single one needs to link to the same section. Sounds obvious, but it's easy to miss and reviewers will catch it.

3. Manually audit your components, colors, and code Don't rely entirely on the Unused Component plugin. It missed things for me and caused multiple rejections. Some things just need a manual pass.

4. ALT text every photo Placeholders included. Every single one.

5. Add input validation to your forms manually This is the only video you need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN9giCMK6Zo

6. Make sure ALL your colors are in your library Error states, low-opacity variations, everything. Go through each component individually. It takes time upfront, but saves you a lot more later.

7. Rename all your layers "Stack" won't get approved. The Auto-Rename feature is a good starting point, but make sure every name actually makes sense.

8. Use the Balance feature for fonts It prevents orphaned words across different screen sizes. A small detail that makes a real difference.

It took perseverance to get through the process, but I would totally do it again. Have you ever submitted a template to Framer? I'd love to hear about your experience below 👇
