Shipped a fully Marathi site this week and ran into something I hadn’t had to think about before: font support.
A lot of the serif fonts I’d normally reach for have no Devanagari glyphs. They don’t error out, they just quietly fall back to a system font, and the whole page starts to feel broken.
I ended up using Arya and Poppins. Both support Marathi properly, and both are available straight from Framer’s built-in Google Fonts picker.
One other build note: the audience is mostly mid-range Android on patchy 4G, so every video is thumbnail-first and only loads the embed on tap. That made a real difference to page weight.

Open for new work if you need a project taken from start to finish, or just a Framer build.
