I just sold my first Framer template... and it wasn't on the Framer Marketplace.
I created a Framer template called AXIS as part of Contra's digital product design challenge. One month later, Framer approved it. Two weeks after that: 500+ views, almost 400 previews.
New product page for Nokturnal AI. Built in Framer, delivered in one day.
The client had limited product imagery, so I created custom assets using AI to fill the gap. In today's world, when the assets don't exist yet, you make them.
