Today marks 1 year since I started learning Framer.
Honestly, I didn't expect it to become such a big part of my life.
Over the past year, I've spent countless hours learning, building, getting rejected, improving, and repeating the process. Looking back, it's been worth every bit of it.
A few moments I'm really proud of:
• Surfing became the top template in the School, Coaching & Sports category with 6,000+ remixes.
• Reunion made it to the Top 3 in the Conference category. • Crestmark reached the Top 3 in the Accounting category.
• Najaf generated a single affiliate commission of over $1,600 from a free template, something I never imagined when I first published it.
But beyond the numbers, the best part has been seeing people use my templates to launch real businesses, portfolios, events, and side projects. That's been incredibly rewarding.
I've also met some amazing people in the Framer community, learned a ton from other creators, and received so much support from the Framer team along the way.
If there's one thing this year has taught me, it's this:
Stay consistent. Focus on quality over quantity. Good work compounds.
If you're looking for free Framer templates, I've put together what I genuinely believe is one of the strongest free collections on the Marketplace.

Here's to Year 2. 🚀
