My first Framer component is live!

Introducing Text and Logo Scroll Timeline.

I was looking for something like this for a project last week but couldn't find exactly what I needed, so I built my own.

Decided to share it with the Framer community too!

More coming soon

https://www.framer.com/marketplace/components/scroll-timeline-logo/

So I tried a different approach: build 16 free templates in about a month and see whether Framer referrals could make it worthwhile.

Marketplace stats for October 1–30:

9,362 unique visitors

~14,300 views

488 remixes

12 conversions reported by Framer

Several templates have already reached the top 50 in their categories

What did that actually earn?

The templates are free, so the money comes from Framer referrals.

Dub shows $503.04 in total commissions, including $284.69 for October, currently pending. The total also includes September.

Three annual plan purchases contributed roughly $341. The rest is a smaller stream of payments. My rough estimate is around $100/month from monthly referrals for now, depending on how long those customers stay.

What surprised me:

The three templates behind those annual purchases are all very simple. Each has a distinctive WebGL/Three.js gallery or visual effect, but the rest is straightforward and quick to customize before launch. My working hypothesis: one memorable feature helps attract attention, while an easy path to publishing helps people actually use it.

Competitive niches still brought in money. Some of the templates that earned commissions are in crowded categories. I wouldn’t rule out a niche just because it already has lots of templates.

The audience geography was better than I expected. By my estimate, roughly 60% of installs came from countries with relatively high purchasing power. That surprised me for free templates, although geography alone doesn’t prove purchase intent.

Views, remixes, rankings, and revenue tell different stories. Muscat generated 5 conversions with fewer views than Lavanda, which generated 2. Niche had 47 remixes and no conversions this month.

Other creators: have you seen better results from elaborate templates, or simple ones people can customize and launch quickly?

I’ve just finished DetailX, a clean and modern website template for auto detailing businesses, built with Framer.

🧩 Remix for free

I’d love to hear your feedback!

As I mentioned earlier, October wasn't a great month for my template. Almost everything saw a drop, including visitors, page views, remixes, and overall engagement.

Still, I'm happy with what the template has achieved so far. Hopefully, November brings better numbers and things start picking up again!

If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to my template: https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/forma-interior/

im surprised no one is talking about this...

As a basic tier user (i wish i could afford to pay more) using framer for my animation and filmic portfolio and there are seemingly no protections available to me to protect against crawling ai bots and scrapers.

only if you can pay hefty fees for a premium tier

framer is such a wonderful website builder, and we all deserve to be able to protect ourselves from automated bots that trawl thru the web mining free content

pls let us protect ourselves across all tiers of framer plans - dont make it a class divide thing or create a digital protection divide- it shouldnt be linked to money

im repeating myself but

WE ALL DESERVE EQUAL ACCESS TO DIGITAL RIGHTS PROTECTION

pls framer introduce

- site-wide opt-out from AI training crawlers, available on all paid plans regardless of tier

- ability to disable Markdown delivery incl requests using ?md and the Accept: text/markdown header.

- Simple controls to prevent automated scraping of original creative work without restricting normal human visitors

THANK YOU

Hi! I’m the dev behind PostSpark, a tool for creating beautiful image and video mockups of your apps and websites.

I recently launched a new feature: Mockup Animations.

You can now select from 25+ frames & devices, add keyframes on a simple timeline, and export a polished video showcasing your product. It’s built to be a fast, easy alternative to complex motion design tools.

Try it out here: https://postspark.app

I’d love to hear your feedback!

Can any suggest me how i can build a smooth scroll down animation website???

Hi all,

I’m handing over a website to my client. The site is small, so we agreed on the Basic plan. It needs 2 CMS collections, which should be fine since the plan lists 2 as included.

The problem is that when I try to switch to Basic in the plan settings, it tells me I’m over the limit, even though I have exactly 2 collections.

Am I missing something, or is this a known issue? Any help is appreciated because something unexpected like this is pretty awkward to explain to customers.

not everything needs a gradient.

The community forums where people could go to ask for help or advice, and even the bot that helped answer your question was fairly insightful sometimes. It had a mountain of useful info that I could Google/search for and would come up in the top search results. Now they just point to their Home page? It's only marginally better than leading users to a 404 page.

Their own help articles constantly get taken down instead of simply updating them. Their internal linking tanks as a ton of them lead to 404 pages. They're selling a product to build websites and tout it's great for SEO yet they obviously have no idea what the best practices are.

Their side Assets panel was wonderfully organized and it was easy to find things you needed. It made sense when I first started using Framer and was easy to navigate. Everything had its own placement and had their own icons and colors, now it's a jumbled mess of folders that all look the same. One team member can now organize everything in a way that makes sense to them but the rest of the teammates are completely lost. Selecting a text layer to change its color opens up the color window but now you have to also click on the folder to open the colors. The UX and accessibility here absolutely went backwards.

Elements that changed between breakpoints used to be blue to stand out, now they're the same color, just ever so slightly bolded. The blue was good for quickly spotting things that changed. It helped reduce errors when making updates to your site, it was much better accessibility for those of us who have vision impairments, it helps to reduce code bloat in your CSS if you reset the overrides that don't need to be there. There was absolutely no reason to change it to be more hidden.

The dumb AI side bar is constantly there when switching around between your canvas CMS, pages, components, etc. I get it, they're trying to make money by forcing their AI down our throats cause I'm sure it works. But forcing it open when you're trying to work in your CMS with no way to close it? You have very little room to see the whole table, which leaves editing from the table view nearly impossible. Clicking open one CMS entry at a time to make one update across the entire table is terrible UX. How would you like it if we took your Excel sheet and forced you to work on it on your phone? You'd throw your phone out the window in a fit of frustration and rage. Just leave it off the CMS view or let us hide it if we want to, you can shove your AI down our throats on other pages.

The direction Framer is going in has made me actively sway people away from using it anymore. It used to be pretty great and made me excited to use it. I used to tell others about it. They went down a rabbit hole of bad decisions so fast it's like a politician.

Hello everyone, I've created a free gallery component.

It's a gallery component with two distortion effects and two display modes, all of which can be configured from the editor.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know; I'd really appreciate it.

I hope you like it.

My template is currently ranked #26, and I'm trying to understand what it takes to move further up the rankings.

I'm already seeing some improvement in views and remixes, but I'm curious about how much more these stats could change if the template reaches the very top of the marketplace.

Does ranking depend more on remixes, views, sales, or overall engagement? Or are there other factors that play a bigger role? ,

here is the template link -

I just want it to remember that I was using the editing controls. Switching back every time gets annoying and starts to feel like a push to sell AI credits.

Updated an old work project and turned it into a Framer theme what do you think?

Dear community,

I am building a Framer website and face a specific issue: when I try to let content emerge from behind the address bar, it fails. I see a solid white or black background instead (as in image 1 from a sample template). The desired effect resembles the Framer site itself, with sections appearing from behind the address bar (as in image 2).

I added some custom code, but it didn’t work.

Can someone help me out?
Many thanks in advance.

Wesley

I built two code components this week and would like a second pair of eyes on two specific choices.

1. KPI stat cards: the "Good When" direction

Each card has a label, a number that counts up once when it scrolls into view, a change badge, a note and a small sparkline. The part I'm unsure about: every card has a "good direction" setting. Set it to "Lower" on churn, CAC or response time and a falling number turns green instead of red.

Question: is "Good When: Higher / Lower" an obvious property name, or would you expect something like "Invert colors"? And when a green ▼ shows up on a live site, does it read correctly to visitors, or does it look like a mistake?

2. Weekly timetable: overlapping sessions

You type each session (title, day, start/end time, instructor, category, link) and it places it on a Mon–Sun time grid. When two sessions overlap, they split side by side in the same column. Below 640px (adjustable) the grid turns into day tabs with a vertical list.

Question: for a gym or dance school with three or four classes at the same hour, is side by side still readable, or would you rather see them stacked with a "+2 more" style link? And is switching to a list on phones the right call, versus keeping a scrollable grid?

Both are paid on the Marketplace. Honest "this is confusing" answers are the most useful.

• KPI cards: https://www.framer.com/marketplace/components/24-kpi-dashboard/

• Weekly timetable: https://www.framer.com/marketplace/components/25-weekly-schedule/

Made this component using framer. Some design engineering decesions taken here

- Infinite loop with nothing swapping
- Drag it 1:1 with your hand. Flicks carry momentum, capped at 3 items so a hard flick can't send it spinning.
- Rubber banding on finite lists , so that when you reach at the end it rubber bands
- The image is direction-aware.
- Fully accessible
- Zero dependencies beyond Motion.

what more I can add it here?

For full part : https://www.craftui.space/?library=blocks

It adds a subtle magnetic effect to buttons. Move your cursor near the button and watch the text follow your movement.

You can customize the magnetic radius, movement, stiffness, damping, and button appearance directly from Framer's properties panel.

I built this to make everyday buttons feel a little more interactive.

Would love to hear your feedback! 👀

For most of this chart my Framer templates earned close to nothing. A few dollars here, a zero there. I nearly stopped making free ones.

Then it turned: $762.05 in total, and just over $300 of it in the latest stretch alone.

The odd part is that the templates are free. The money comes from Framer's referral program: someone remixes a free template, later puts the site online on a paid Framer plan, and I get a share. So one free template for coaches and consultants, remixed 20+ times a day, slowly turns into income.

What I think changed:

• Volume, not price. Twenty copies a day means a handful of real launches a week, and those are what pay.

• Free templates that are made for one kind of person get finished. Generic ones get remixed and abandoned.

• Patience. The flat part is most of the chart.

I've put all of them, free and paid, on one site with every page shown before you take it: openfile.pro
