One more milestone checked off for Vossiam.
On to the next.
Adrian Voss
Signal over noise.
Signal over noise.
For the past 5 months, I've been building what I hope will become a flagship template in its category.
Last month, I discovered another template using the same name I'd chosen for the project.
That one discovery triggered a chain reaction.
FlowOS became Vossiam.
Then came a new logo.
Then a refreshed color identity.
As I revisited the project, I realized many of the UI fragments I'd generated with Google Stitch could be pushed even further. I spent the next couple of weeks refining and redesigning them.
And once I started improving those, I couldn't stop. Entire pages were redesigned, interactions were polished, and countless small details were revisited.
It's funny how one unexpected change can lead to a much better product.
Vossiam isn't a template I'm trying to finish as quickly as possible. I'm taking the time to craft something I'd be genuinely proud to put my name on.
It's getting close.
Until then, I'll keep sharing the journey with the Framer community.
Stay tuned. π

This is honestly one of the best image transition components I've come across on the Framer Marketplace.
Clean. Smooth. Beautifully executed.
Worth every penny. π
Framer continues to improve the marketplace experience after the recent update.
They've now introduced curated sections like:
β’ Featured Picks β’ Fresh Finds β’ Trending Templates β’ Free Templates
I took a closer look at Fresh Finds, and one thing stood out.
While it showcases new templates, not every newly published template appears there. It seems the section is curated by the Framer team, highlighting what they consider the strongest recent releases.
I actually think that's a great approach.
It helps maintain quality while giving exceptional new templates a chance to stand out in a marketplace where new releases can quickly get buried.
That said, because it's curated, there's naturally an element of subjectivity. Some high-quality templates may not make the list simply because they weren't selected.
Overall, I think it's a positive addition.
To me, it sends a clear message:
Build something genuinely good, and Framer will help people discover it.
Do marketplace rankings actually translate to more sales?
I often see creators celebrating when their templates climb the rankings, while others get frustrated when they don't.
I used to assume that a higher ranking automatically meant more sales.
Then I came across a post from a creator who mentioned that one of their products was ranked highly, yet it wasn't translating into the sales they expected.
That got me thinking...
Is this a common experience, or was it just an exception?
I'd love to hear from creators who have actually sold templates.
Has your marketplace ranking had a noticeable impact on your sales?
One of the hardest decisions template creators face after finishing a product is pricing.
It's difficult because there are so many variables.
Buyer psychology. Perceived quality. Competition. Target audience. The value your product actually delivers.
There isn't a perfect formula.
One thing I've learned is this:
A lower price doesn't automatically lead to more sales.
It's easy to think, "If I price my template at $12, more people will buy it."
Sometimes that's true.
Sometimes it isn't.
A very low price can also signal that the template isn't as polished or valuable as other options. On the other hand, simply increasing your price doesn't guarantee more sales either.
I've seen creators mention that raising their prices improved sales, while others have found success with lower-priced templates.
That's why I don't think pricing should be based on fear.
Price your template according to the value you genuinely believe it delivers.
If you want to charge a premium, give people a premium product.
Go beyond the template itself.

β’ Setup guides
β’ Figma files (where appropriate)
β’ Walkthrough videos
β’ Resources that help customers launch faster
β’ Ideas and inspiration for using the template
The more value you provide, the easier it is to justify a higher price.
I'm curious...
What has your experience with pricing been? Have you ever increased or decreased your price and noticed a difference?
Been refining the "Get Started" section in Vossiam.
I genuinely think micro interactions are one of the most underrated parts of great web design.
What's one interaction you always appreciate on a website?
It's been almost 3 weeks since Framer changed how the marketplace works.
I'm curious to see how it's actually affected template and component creators.
If you've been selling before and after the update, drop one letter in the comments:
A β Increased sales π
B β Decreased sales π
C β No noticeable change β
No explanations needed unless you want to share more.
I think this could be useful for newer creators like myself to understand what the marketplace looks like today.
I was actually planning to make a post about what I thought was the new Framer community update where older posts could keep resurfacing.
For the past few days, every time I opened the community, I kept seeing the same posts over and over, while newer posts became increasingly difficult to find.
I logged in today, and it looks like it's been fixed.
Maybe it wasn't an update after all. Maybe it was just a glitch. Either way, good fix, Framer. π
I still think there's room for a better long-term solution that helps great posts stay discoverable without making it harder to find new ones.
Just noticed this update in the Framer community where older posts can resurface if they had strong engagement.
I remember thinking, "It would be great if Framer had something like this."
And... here it is.
It's a small feature, but I think it gives good discussions a second life instead of letting them disappear after a few days.
Great work, @Framer π
1st of July, 2026.
Welcome to a new month and the second half of the year. π
If the first half was bad, this half can be better.
If the first half was good, this half can be better.
If the first half was great, this half can be even better.
Whatever the last six months looked like, lock in and do your best work.
Here's to the second half of the year. π₯
More illustrations created with ChatGPT for Vossiam.
The more I use it, the more impressed I become
You're probably sleeping on ChatGPT's image generation.
I created these illustrations for my Vossiam template using ChatGPT, and I have to say, I'm genuinely impressed.
What stands out to me isn't just the image quality. It's how natural the workflow feels.
Instead of trying to engineer the perfect prompt yourself, you can simply explain your idea in plain English and ask ChatGPT to turn it into a detailed prompt. Then generate the image from that prompt, refine it through conversation, and repeat until it feels right.
Like every image generation tool, you'll still need to fine-tune some results.
But the quality it can produce is seriously impressive.
One thing I especially love is how well it understands design direction. You can provide exact hex color codes or upload your brand color palette, and it does a surprisingly good job of generating illustrations that stay true to your visual language.
It's become a valuable part of my workflow while building Vossiam.
One week closer to launching Vossiam.
Still refining.
Still learning.
Still changing things I thought were finished. π
Building in public has been an interesting journey.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Something fun for the weekend. π
"I don't have followers. I have believers."
β Zlatan IbrahimoviΔ
I have 23 believers.
How many do you have? π
Take your time with every template or product you build.
Do your best work.
In my experience, quality is often rewarded more than quantity.
One exceptional template can outperform dozens of average ones because people remember work that solves real problems and feels thoughtfully crafted.
Don't rush to release more.
Focus on releasing something you're genuinely proud of.
Always deliver your best work.
Quick tip for Framer template creators:
Be careful about using names suggested by AI.
Whether it's ChatGPT, Gemini, or another model, many of the names they suggest are obvious enough that there's a good chance someone has already used them.
Instead, use those suggestions as a starting point.
Combine words. Modify the spelling. Invent something new.
You'll have a much better chance of ending up with a unique name and building a stronger brand around it.
That's a lesson I learned the hard way. π
