Is selling Framer templates still enough to make good money in the AI era, or do Framer designers now need real development skills too?

With AI tools generating layouts, code, and even full sites so quickly, I’m wondering:

Can focusing purely on high-quality Framer templates still be a solid full-time income?

Or has the bar risen so much that designers who only design (without coding/React/Framer CMS/advanced interactions knowledge) are getting left behind?

Would love to hear from people who are actually selling templates or freelancing with Framer right now. What’s working for you in 2026?
