So You Made a Framer Template.
Now What?
You spent 14 hours fine-tuning that hover animation.
Your typography? Immaculate.
Your layout? So clean you could eat off it.
You're finally ready to launch.
And now you’re staring at your screen like:
“Where the heck do I even sell this thing?”
Let’s be honest —
Designing the template was the easy part.
Selling it?
That’s the real boss level.
Because you could have the most stunning, jaw-droppingly pixel-perfect Framer template ever made
And it still won’t sell if no one sees it.
But don’t worry — we’re not going to let your baby die in the Framer dashboard.
Let’s talk about:
Where to list your Framer templates
How to stand out (especially when everyone’s doing the same thing)
What platforms are actually worth your time
And how to avoid being the 117th “SaaS Starter Kit” in a sea of sameness
Let’s go template-hunting.
What makes a Good Framer Template?
Sure, you know the basics:
Clean visuals
Responsive design
Solid page structure
But that’s table stakes now.
To actually sell, your template needs to:
Target a specific niche (not “general startup”)
Have a clear use-case ("book clients" / "sell products")
Offer something unique
That could mean:
A navigation that feels like a native app
Smart CMS setups that are plug-and-play
Layouts that scream premium with just a few components
Clever integrations (Calendly, AI forms, Memberstack, etc.)
Functionality matters.
SEO matters.
But standing out visually and strategically?
That’s your first filter.
How to Pick the Right Template Niche (Stop Guessing)
Most creators fall into one of two traps:
Build what they think looks cool.
Build what they personally want to see.
The real move?
Build what people are actually searching for — but can’t find yet.
Enter your secret weapon:

Here’s what’s happening:
Ecommerce Templates

Search volume: 1,300/month.
Opportunity: Low — Score: 36.3
Local businesses want simple, fast websites.

Search volume: 1,300/month.
Opportunity: Moderate — Score: 51.7
Real estate’s still wide open — the demand’s there, and competition is relatively low.

Especially if you follow clean SEO and conversion strategies - Here’s our guide covering How to Effectively use Framer SEO to your advantage .
Where to List Your Template
1. Framer Marketplace (Start Here)
This is the flagship platform.
The mothership.
The HQ. The trust badge you want.
But let’s set expectations:
Getting listed? Harder than it looks.
Templates are reviewed manually — you need polish, purpose, and punch.
If selected? You’re tapping into organic buyer traffic from Day 1.
And here’s the kicker — before you even submit your template, there’s a laundry list of things you need to do:
✅ Add alt tags to every image
✅ Name all your sections properly
✅ Remove any unnecessary components
✅ Keep your layers clean and organized
Basically? You're turning your file into a Framer zen garden.
The bonus? Once you’ve prepped your template to meet Framer’s standards, you’ve also prepped it for every other platform out there.
Most other marketplaces aren’t nearly as strict — so once you pass Framer’s bar, everything else feels like a breeze.
And yes — starting here makes sense.
Because if you can get listed on Framer Marketplace, chances are you’ll have no problem getting accepted elsewhere too.
To improve your odds:
✅ Use SEO-focused titles & tags
✅ Choose high-opportunity niches
✅ Design a unique template in terms of visuals, animations, or layout
Framer Marketplace isn’t the easy path.
It’s the prestige path.
Which is exactly why it should be your first target.
You’ll be busy dreaming up your next masterpiece — not refreshing your stats at midnight.
2. FramerThings
FramerThings is like the secret backroom of the Framer design world.
A niche community site that showcases hand-picked templates with solid UX and clever touches.
If your template stands out, people here notice.
Use it as your flex portfolio: your “see what else I’ve built” page.
3. Framer Templates
A slick, Framer-focused showcase site with solid visibility.
Listing is fairly easy, and the vibe is modern and curated — but not overly gatekept.

Great for catching both creators and buyers in discovery mode.

Gallereee is where designers go to drool.
It’s extremely visual and creative — more Dribbble than directory — and it loves standout aesthetics.
Submission is curated, but not overly strict. If your work looks stunning, you’ll fit right in.
Think of it as your brand-builder. Not just buyers — admirers.
6. Minimal Gallery
📍 www.minimal.gallery/templates
