The Framer Marketplace is the obvious starting point — but it's not the only place worth looking.
The most convenient place to start is the official Framer Marketplace. It's built into Framer, easy to browse, and every template there has passed a review by the Framer team. The bar for getting in is genuinely high — not every creator makes it through.
One thing worth knowing upfront: Framer doesn't handle payments. Every purchase goes directly to the creator — through their own checkout, whether that's Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, or their own site. Framer is just the discovery layer.
That said, rejection from the Marketplace doesn't always mean a template is bad. Framer turns down submissions for various reasons (a category being too crowded, for example). Some of the best templates you'll find are sold outside the Marketplace entirely.
If you find a creator whose style you like, follow them — most active Framer creators are on X (Twitter), where they share new releases, behind-the-scenes process, and occasional discounts.
Pinterest is surprisingly good for this too. A huge amount of web design work is built in Framer now, and Pinterest's visual format makes it easy to find styles you're drawn to before you even know the template name.
Instagram works similarly — search for Framer templates or web design and you'll find creators sharing previews and launch announcements.
Many creators sell templates directly from their own sites — and this is often where you'll find things you won't see on the Marketplace. Independent stores sometimes run sales, bundle deals, or All Access passes that give you everything for a one-time price. New templates get added regularly, and creators tend to offer more direct support when you buy from them.
This is actually how all Framer template purchases work — even on the Marketplace. You're always buying directly from the creator, not from Framer.
If you'd rather not dig through demos one by one, I keep collections of my own templates sorted by use case: free portfolio templates, coaches and wellness, jewelry and ecommerce, education and faculty, restaurants and cafes, real estate and architecture, and a free link in bio page. Each post explains what's inside and who the template suits, so picking takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
Not all templates are equal. A few things worth verifying before you purchase:
Is the creator a Framer Partner? It's not a requirement for quality, but it signals serious investment in the platform.
Is there a live preview? Screenshots are easy to polish — a live preview shows you how the template actually performs and feels.
Does the creator offer support? Check if there's an email, a way to ask questions, or documentation included.
Is the template actively maintained? A creator who's still publishing new work is more likely to update existing templates when Framer changes something.

FAQ
Where is the best place to find Framer templates? The Marketplace is the easiest place to browse, and creator sites are where the deals live: sales, bundles, and lifetime passes that never show up on the Marketplace. Most people end up using both.
Are Framer templates free? Some are. Thirteen of the seventeen templates in my own catalog are free to duplicate, and most creators offer at least a few free ones. I wrote about what free actually includes in a separate post.
Do I buy from Framer or from the creator? Always from the creator. Framer doesn't handle payments, even on the official Marketplace, so support and updates come from whoever made the template.
Can I try a template before buying? Paid templates have live previews you can click through. Free ones go further: you duplicate the whole project into your account and test it with your real content.
What do I need to publish a site from a template? A Framer account. Publishing on a free framer.website subdomain costs nothing, and a custom domain needs a paid plan, which starts at $10 a month on annual billing.
