A simple walkthrough to take a Framer template from purchase to a live site in under an hour.

The slowest part of launching a website is usually the blank page. Once you start from a template that's already good, the rest moves fast. Here's the whole process, start to finish.

1. Pick the right template (10 min)

Don't overthink this. Choose the one closest to what you need — close enough that you're swapping content, not rebuilding layouts. If you're unsure what to look for, Framer Templates Worth Using covers it.

2. Duplicate and rename (2 min)

Remix the template into your own account and rename the project. Now it's yours to edit without touching the original.

3. Swap the content (20 min)

Go section by section, top to bottom. Replace the headline, the copy, the images. Resist the urge to redesign — the design already works. Your job is to make it say your thing.

4. Drop in your brand (10 min)

Update the colours and fonts in the style panel. Because good templates use shared styles, this updates everything at once. Add your logo and favicon.

5. Check every breakpoint (5 min)

Switch to tablet and mobile views and scroll through. Fix any spacing that looks off. This step takes minutes and saves you embarrassment later.

6. Set up SEO and publish (10 min)

Add your page titles and meta descriptions, connect your domain, and hit publish. That's it — you're live.

If you get stuck anywhere, that's what support is for. Every Curate template comes with it, alongside the other things we covered in Introducing Curate.

An hour from now, you could have a site live. The hardest part is just starting.

Pick your template

Find the one closest to what you need and start the clock.
