Everyone shows the visuals of their Framer templates 🫣
No one talks about the research phase.
Do you analyze competitors before you start designing? Curious how others approach it.

This is what a website looks like before it becomes “design.”
No colors.
No animations.
No fancy UI.
Just structure.
Right now I’m building a new Framer template — and this is the phase most people rush through.
Wireframes.
Where decisions are made:
• what users see first
• how they move
• where they convert
If this isn’t right, nothing else matters.
Design doesn’t fix confusion.
It just decorates it.
Final version dropping in a few days.

Awesome Design 🔥
My first Framer template just went live on the marketplace! 🙌
Synthesia is designed for agencies, studios, and research teams working with complex ideas.
Built on an editorial layout, it helps structure insights, case studies, and content in a way that feels credible and easy to navigate.
🖥️ Live preview here: https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/synthesia/ :
Beautiful!
$600 upfront.
$1,200 total.
One landing page.
Not a huge number.
But it means something bigger.
4 years building skills.
Clients now pay upfront before I touch a file.
That's the shift.
The project:
— Landing page for a Framer client
— Found me through Framer Experts
— No cold outreach. No pitch. No chasing.
— Paid 50% before work started.
Also working on Framer fusion templates this week.
Two income streams.
One platform.
Framer Challenge: Week 1 already profitable.
If you're still chasing clients, stop.
Build where they can find you.
What does your first upfront payment feel like?
