Project details from Ash Thorne.
Ash Thorne is ranking #613 in all templates and #340 in the portfolio category. Never had a template rank this high yet, so it's definitely an achievement for me.
My new template, Ash Thorne was just published yesterday and I think it got a great feedback from the Framer community.
Huge thanks to everyone who liked it or commented something nice.
Make sure to check it out if you missed it yesterday!
Just updated a few things on wooof.design and also added my new portfolio template Ash Thorne.

After a short break I'm back with a free portfolio template called Ash Thorne.
It features a unique visual style, CMS-powered projects with unlimited images and videos per project and built-in lightbox with keyboard and click navigation with every image in its own natural proportions.
The pricing section of Umbral. It features detailed tables for comparing tiers.

Still my favorite component from Halcyone. I was thinking about making a similar component. What do you think? Would you use it?
Every template I sell now ships with free AI prompts that write your homepage copy and CMS content, customize your color and type system, and generate SEO metadata and schema plus a guide for actually getting it all into Framer. No invented facts, no fake testimonials. If it doesn't know something about your business, it asks instead of guessing.
I had my first Framer template sale two days ago. Plus, they bought an all access version right away.
I published my first template to the marketplace a little over a month ago. I honestly didn't think I would have a sale already.
If you're wondering if you'll ever sell a single template, you will, trust me. It's just a matter of time. Keep going, keep pushing and good things will come.
Who has sold at least one template, how long did it take for you?
A little over a month since I've published Umbral to the Framer marketplace and it has finally made its first commission.
SEO and AEO for wooof.design, kept practical.
Every page has its own title and description, written for the actual thing on that page, not a generic template repeated everywhere. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of sites.
The newer part is thinking about AI answers, not just Google. When someone asks an AI assistant for a Framer template recommendation, the pages need to actually answer the question clearly, near the top, in plain language. Not buried under three paragraphs of preamble.
Same content either way. Just written so both a search engine and an AI can actually use it.
Analytics for wooof.design is deliberately minimal right now.
With no sales yet, most metrics are noise. Bounce rate, session duration, none of that tells me anything useful when there's nothing to compare it against. What I'm actually watching is simpler: how many people land on the site, which template page they go to, and whether they click through to checkout.
Everything else can wait until there's enough traffic and enough sales for the extra numbers to mean something. Right now, more data isn't more insight. It's just more to ignore.
Simple now, more later, once there's something to actually learn from it.
There's an email list for wooof.design already, even though there's not much to send yet.
The reasoning: an email address is worth capturing the moment someone's interested, not once there's a backlog of newsletters to justify asking. If I wait until I have "enough" to send, I miss everyone who showed up before that point.
The first email won't be a sales pitch. It's a welcome message with a discount code, something small that rewards signing up right away instead of asking people to wait around for value.
The list will matter more later. Building it starts now.
Branding for wooof.design cost nothing but time.
No designer, no brand agency, no budget for either. Just a pixel dog logo, a name spelled with three o's, and the same tone of voice everywhere it shows up. X, Pinterest, the site itself.
Consistency is the actual budget. The dog looks the same in every post. The way I write doesn't shift between platforms. It's not much of an audience yet, but every post is building toward the same identity instead of starting over each time.
No money needed. Just doing the same thing enough times for it to actually mean something.
Someone hits wooof.design. What happens next?
They land on the homepage, see the three templates immediately, and click into whichever fits. That page shows the actual site, live and clickable, not just screenshots. If they want it, they hit purchase, pay through Polar, and get the Framer remix link straight away.
The Framer marketplace listings still exist, but they're not the destination anymore. wooof.design is. The marketplace is just one more place someone might first see a template before ending up here.
One path, as few steps as possible between landing and owning it.
Pricing and checkout for wooof.design came down to a few decisions.
Payments run through Polar, which handles the checkout flow and hands out the Framer remix link automatically once someone pays. No manual delivery, no back and forth.
The tiers are simple. Standard, Pro, and Custom Setup for each template, plus an All Access option for anyone who wants everything. And Umbral is free, on purpose. It's the easiest way for someone to see the quality before they trust me with money for Rhive or Halcyone.
Free isn't a discount strategy here. It's the funnel.
Right now, wooof.design has zero sales. No customers, no reviews, nothing to point to.
Most template sites fill that gap with fake trust signals. Made-up "trusted by" logos, testimonials nobody said, stats pulled from nowhere. I'm not doing that. If it's not real, it doesn't go on the site.
So what's there instead? The work itself. Every page, every component, every interaction is something a visitor can actually look at and judge for themselves. No borrowed credibility, just the thing you're buying, shown honestly.
The trust signals will come later, once they're true. Until then, the templates have to do that job on their own.
