One thing that quietly makes a Framer site feel expensive: easing.
Default linear transitions read as "template". I spend more time tuning easing curves than almost anything else on a build. A hover that eases out over 250ms instead of snapping instantly changes how the whole page feels.
My rule: nothing moves at a constant speed. Everything accelerates or decelerates, the way real objects do.
Small change, big difference in how finished a site feels.
