First Framer template I'm exploring after Framer 3.0. Looking for feedback

Been working on my first Framer template after the 3.0 release and wanted to try a more premium, enterprise-style design.

Here's the current hero. Still early, but I'd love to know what stands out and what doesn't.

Open to any feedback, whether it's the typography, layout, copy, or overall feel.

Thanks!

Ability, a premium Framer template for AI startups, SaaS products, and creator platforms.

The goal wasn't to make another generic AI landing page. I wanted something that felt clean, spacious, and timeless, with an emphasis on typography, generous whitespace, and a conversion-focused layout.

Some highlights:

  • Fully responsive
  • Modern SaaS landing page
  • About, Contact, FAQ & Waitlist pages
  • Beautiful animations and interactions
  • Easy to customize in Framer

I spent a lot of time refining the spacing, visual hierarchy, and overall user experience, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback. What would you improve or add?

Built a Framer template portfolio making $23k/yr passively. Keep building or exit?

Hey everyone,

I’ve spent the last year building up a portfolio of 16 Framer templates. They are all live, and 100% of the traffic comes organically through the official Framer Marketplace.

Because it’s entirely organic marketplace traffic, my monthly operating expense is exactly $0, and I don't spend any time on social media marketing or running ads. Over the last 12 months, the portfolio has brought in $23,000 USD net profit (averaging around $1.9k/month).

I'm at a crossroads right now. On one hand, it's steady passive income that just rolls in. On the other hand, I'm tempted to go for a clean break, take a cash payout, and free up my headspace for some new projects.

For those who have bought or sold micro-digital assets or template shops before, I'd love to get your opinion:

- Would you sell a passive portfolio like this right now, or just let it ride?

- If I do decide to walk away, what should my absolute minimum baseline exit price be based on current market multiples for this kind of asset?

Appreciate any perspectives from anyone who's weighed a similar decision.

- If I do list for sale what should my absolute minimum exit price be based on current market multiples for template shops?

Appreciate any insights or advice from anyone who's been through a micro-exit.

What’s your monthly affiliate goal?

For those in the Framer Partner Program, do you actually set targets for yourself?

Or do you just publish templates and let things compound over time?

I’ve started tracking mine more seriously. My goal is to hit at least $6–7K/month in affiliate commissions by the end of this year.

Curious how you all approach it.
Do you treat it like a real revenue stream with clear goals, or more like a side experiment?

I’ve been building templates on Framer for a while now, and I just released three new ones in very different niches. I’m trying to go deeper into industry-specific designs instead of the usual generic landing pages.

Here they are:

1. Fixmate
For laptop repair shops and IT services.
Simple one-page layout, strong CTAs, trust-building sections.
https://fixmate.framer.website/

2. Crestmark
For private equity, VC firms, and investment companies.
Clean, institutional, serious tone.
https://crestmark.framer.website/

3. United
Built for consultants, strategy firms, and advisory businesses.
Professional layout, strong content structure, and lead-focused sections.
https://united-consulting.framer.website/

If anyone wants any of these for free, comment below, and I’ll share the remix link with you.

Also open to honest feedback:

  • Which one feels strongest?
  • Anything you’d improve?
  • Do niche templates perform better in your experience?

Appreciate this community a lot. Always learning here.

Just curious.

If you’re part of the Partner program, how long did it take before you crossed that first 1K purely from affiliate commissions?

Was it one template doing well or just installs compounding over time?

For me, it was under 3 months with only 2 templates live. Didn’t expect that at all.

Would love to know how it went for you.

Hey everyone,

Quick question for fellow template creators here.

Apart from the Framer Marketplace itself, where are you promoting your templates? Are you relying mostly on organic discovery inside Framer, or are you pushing them somewhere else too?

I’ve been experimenting a bit outside the Marketplace. Right now, I usually post mine on:

UI8
https://ui8.net/shahrukh-qureshi

Craftwork
https://craftwork.design/author/shahrukhqureshi

Muzli
https://me.muz.li/shahrukhqureshi

Curious to know what’s actually working for others. Twitter? Reddit? Design communities? SEO? Something I’m missing?

Would love to hear what’s been effective for you.

Curious to hear how others are doing.

I set myself a target of $10,000 from the Framer Partner Program, and so far, I’m at $2,261. Still a long way to go, but happy with the momentum.

This month, a few of my templates have been performing really well:

Pink (Digital Agency)
https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/pink/

Renewable (Clean Energy / Solar)
https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/renewable/

Reunion (Events / Conferences)
https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/reunion/

Would love to know:

  • What’s your current goal?
  • What’s working for you?
  • Are you focusing on one niche or experimenting?

Let’s share numbers and lessons. Always interesting to see different approaches in the community.

Hey everyone!

About 10 months ago, I started learning Framer the way many of you probably do - by opening other people’s files instead of just following tutorials.

Instead of watching videos all day, I cracked open actual Marketplace templates and studied how sections were structured, how components were named, how layouts were built, and how responsiveness was handled. I learned more from that than anything else.

Eventually, I felt confident enough to build my own template. But instead of selling it, I made it free. I thought maybe a handful of people would use it.

I was wrong.

That first template took off, and today I have over a dozen free templates on the Framer Marketplace with around 12,000 installs across all of them.

The revenue comes from the Framer Partner Program - when someone uses one of my free templates and later upgrades to a paid plan through my referral link, I receive a commission.

Here are my top 3 highest-performing templates so far:

1. Surfing

https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/surfing/

This has been my most-installed and most-earning template. Clean design, smooth animations, SEO-friendly structure, and highly customizable — it’s ideal for lifestyle, education, coaching, or simple landing pages.

2. Najaf

https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/najaf/

A versatile, clean SaaS/tech template with solid structure and conversion-focused sections. Great if you want a professional landing page without starting from scratch.

3. Reunion

https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/reunion/

An event-focused template with bold design and smart layout for schedules, speakers, tickets, sponsors, and more. Perfect for meetups, conferences, workshops, and summits.

Why Free Works

Most people assume free means no money.

But free actually removes friction.

More installs → more people building → more upgrades → more commissions.

Instead of charging $99 or $149 for a single sale, I focused on distribution and usability first. That mindset ended up being more sustainable and scalable over time.

If You’re Learning Framer

Here’s what helped me most:

• Open real template files
• Study how others structure sections
• Break layouts and rebuild them
• Ship consistently, even if it’s simple

The rest tends to fall into place.

Happy building!
