I just put my first two Framer templates out into the world π
Alder21 is a free landing page for real estate launches. Floor plans for every unit type, a payment-plan calculator you can actually play with, and a form to book visits.
Selects is a portfolio for photographers, built like a 35mm contact sheet. The film strips move on their own, and when you hover a project a red grease-pencil circle draws itself around it.
Both are up on Contra and the Framer Marketplace. Templates are new territory for me, so I'd really like honest feedback. What would you change first?
Itβs a calm, editorial shop template for brands that make physical things: hardware, objects, small product lines. I designed the brand, generated the product photography and built every page in Framer.
Whatβs inside:
20 pages, each designed for desktop, tablet and phone
CMS-driven shop with working price sort
Product pages with gallery, specs and FAQs
A build-your-own configurator with live pricing
A bag with quantities and discount codes
Journal with hover image previews
Launch, studio, support and gift card pages
The product itself is fictional: a modular mixing desk where one core listens to your mix and suggests one fix at a time. I wanted the template to feel like a real brand from day one, so itβs been built and photographed like one.
Congrats on the launch, Jonathan. Designing the brand, the photography and every page yourself gives it a clear voice. What was the hardest part of building a shop template in Framer?
We are testing two ways to browse a large template library.
Load More
Users initially see 9 cards. After clicking the button, 9 more are added while the previous results remain visible. Browsing feels continuous, but the page gradually becomes longer.
Pagination
The catalog is divided into numbered groups. When users select the next page, the current 9 cards are replaced with a new set. They can jump to a specific part of the catalog and easily return to where they were.
Load More creates a smoother browsing experience, while pagination offers greater control.
Which option would you choose for a template library?
