I design brands and Framer websites for seed to Series B startups and established businesses, from legal and medical practices to services
I have made 2 SaaS templates. Which one wins?
A) Tested&Proven. Fiidbakk 49$. Ranking at #1105
B) A fully FREE hidden gem Deckker. Ranking at #8315. Think this is criminal. Its not that bad.
Pushed some interaction updates for Dentry. Always trying to push the templates towards better quality.
I feel this is pretty much peak template. Good strong structure. Easy to update brand, images and content. No crazy visuals so whatever a company has does work.

What else does a good template need?
Happy to introduce Fiidbakk.
AI can generate a landing page. It can't validate one.
Many templates promise high conversions. Fiidbakk landing page is battle-tested and has achieved double-digit visitor-to-signup conversion rates.
Easy to customise with Framer agents for speedy launch.
Shared yesterday in X something that seemed to resonate with few. Think its important to remind this to Framer friends hanging here too.
Go with your pace. Good things happen over time. Especially with templates. Not all income comes in first 6 hours. Push hard and you see results.
And today woke up to Dub message. I often check the "customer". And my yesterdays point was proven. Signed up in NOV 2025 > Paid first time JULY 2026
Doing #FramerChallenge here. And its ending with not so good results for me.
Nevertheless, what I actually want to say to other creators is that
A) The template game is long-term. Most affiliates come with a delay.
Some buy right away yet usually it takes time for people to build the site.
So if you don't see the results fast keep going. Play the long game. Adapt to changes.
(I need to work harder here as metrics of my templates have really dropped and next weeks are probably miserable in terms of motivation here too.)
B) I still believe there is market for templates and its worth to build it.
My heart has always been on doing 1:1 client work. Build custom sites to clients. And I have turned off quite few projects where people want template customisation. I rather build my own templates if no Framer client work.
Even yesterday, someone reached out. They had a Claude prototype and wanted to customise a template. This is the new norm. Ai is part of the toolset. It helps people to form briefs and ideas. Yet currently there is still a need for someone who takes this input and polishes it into a strong working Framer site. Your knowledge matters.
Small details matter. And people pay for this.
Did anyone have the same yesterday?
Lots of clicks.
Is it a bot gone rogue? Someone playing a dirty trick or what?
Would be nice to see if any of the templates have gone viral but this seems just off.
Do you add your like if you spot a really well executed template in the marketplace.... if its just a few places in front of yours to get to the first row?
GM Framer friends.
What's your goal this week?
For me one goal is to figure out how to get this drop to stop.
Any fair game tips and tricks are appreciated.
Bullish to see first commission for my MLD template through new marketplace.
I know its hard to believe but. $ is cool. Making $$$ on weekend while sleeping. Cool too. Yet the best feeling is the hope that I help another small business look good. Rank well. And hopefully to make some of the dreams of the business owner come true.
MLD is free to remix go check it out :)
Friends, hear me out.
I like experimenting with Framer. And here is a new test. Or can I even call it a test?
So far, I have launched 7 free templates. Now I have added one paid one.
Dentra. The blue one is paid: https://hy.chujiqiqi.com/community/marketplace/templates/dentra/
DENTRY. The dark one is fully free: https://hy.chujiqiqi.com/community/marketplace/templates/dentry/
I started with the paid one and had an enlightenment about a new style and direction.
Let’s be honest, the free one is simpler in complexity and CMS setup. Yet it feels like a strong base for a boutique dental clinic. I finished it quickly, got it reviewed easily, and it reached the top of the category with a good amount of remixes. Surprisingly.
Most remixes probably came from other creators, but this morning I also got a nice 3-figure commission email from Dub.co.
Now the paid one. Blueish.
My goal was to create the best dental clinic Framer template.
“Best” is vague. I wanted something that helps clinics launch fast, look modern, and has a strong CMS for services, team members, and locations. Medical team pages get tons of traffic.
I feel $99 is fair. But as this is my first paid template, I honestly don’t know. Would appreciate your thoughts.
I also want to keep it less commoditized, so each clinic can still look branded. For a serious business, the difference between $49 and $99 is not huge. A new website is already an investment.
The experiment
Part of me hopes the blue one does not get buried. Every template needs views to be discovered.
So I am curious. Does spending more time crafting something complex and asking for money work better? Or does the free template spread further and eventually bring more $$$?
They are branded differently, though. The paid one is closer to a classic dental clinic. The free one is more medspa.
Let me know if you are interested in seeing how this goes?
I personally love posts with real data because they help me understand the market and position myself better.
Template submissions might have no gates; however, it doesn't mean that the quality doesn't matter.
I believe every creator could benefit a close circle of 3-5 people who are ready to give feedback. Scroll through the work and give honest opinions. Spot bugs. Brainstorm improvements. Think an agency open office where you can just ask for a quick opinion.
In case you feel the same I am happy to connect. Not as someone who cheerises everything you do and hypes you up. As someone who spots what you miss and helps you improve.
