Blueprint

Framer Starter Site Launch (5-7 days)

A fixed-scope Framer build for local small businesses: five AI-assisted pages, two CMS collections, custom domain, and a documented editing workflow the client can run without a retainer.

Prerequisites
  • Framer workspace on the Pro plan at $30/month so staging, site redirects, and 10 CMS collections are available for client work
  • Client brand assets (logo, type choices, image library) and a signed scope covering five pages and two CMS collections
  • Custom domain credentials or registrar access for the client's domain, plus DNS edit rights
  • A named agency reviewer who owns design QA and final publish approval
  • Written CMS handoff template so the client's editing workflow is documented before the build starts
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the client project in Framer and confirm the workspace is on Pro at $30/month for staging and redirects
  • 2.Load brand tokens (colors, type scale, spacing) onto the canvas before any AI generation so agent output inherits the palette
  • 3.Map the five pages and the two CMS collections (blog or service listings) into a page list the client signs off on
  • 1.Run Framer's AI design agents to generate first-pass layouts for each of the five pages
  • 2.Refine generated sections in place on the canvas rather than regenerating from scratch, keeping designer control over hierarchy
  • 3.Draft page copy inside Framer so text and layout stay in one file
  • 1.Build the two CMS collections and define field schemas for each entry type
  • 2.Bind collection fields to the listing and detail templates so new entries render without manual layout work
  • 3.Populate three sample entries per collection to prove the binding works
  • 1.Generate custom code for interactions the canvas cannot express, then attach it to the relevant components
  • 2.Wire site redirects for any legacy URLs the client is replacing
  • 3.Connect analytics and set up an A/B test on the primary call to action
  • 1.Connect the client's custom domain and verify DNS propagation
  • 2.Run the staging-to-publish check on all five pages at mobile, tablet, and desktop widths
  • 3.Fix responsive breaks found in the publish check and re-stage
  • 1.Publish the site to Framer's global CDN and confirm the live domain resolves
  • 2.Write the CMS editing workflow doc covering how the client adds and edits collection entries
  • 3.Record a short walkthrough of the editing flow for the client's team
  • 1.Hand off domain, CMS, and analytics access to the client
  • 2.Confirm the client can publish a CMS entry unaided before closing the engagement
  • 3.Archive the project file and the workflow doc in the agency's Framer workspace for reuse on the next build
$30/month for the Framer Pro seat during the build, against a $2,700 fixed fee for the Starter Site Launch offer5-7 days
ROI Logic

The offer is priced at $2,700 against a $30/month Pro seat, so tool cost is roughly 1% of the fee on a one-week build and drops further when the same seat carries multiple client projects in a month. Margin holds because the AI agents compress layout and copy generation into day two while the agency still bills for the CMS binding, domain, and handoff work that clients cannot self-serve. The Free plan's 500 AI credits and 1 GB bandwidth are enough to demo the workflow, but client delivery should run on Pro so staging, redirects, and 10 CMS collections are available.

Deliverables
  • Published five-page Framer site on the client's custom domain
  • Two configured CMS collections with bound listing and detail templates
  • Site redirect map and analytics plus A/B test configuration
  • CMS editing workflow document and recorded walkthrough for the client's team
  • Archived Framer project file reusable as an agency build template
Definition of Done

The client publishes a new CMS entry on their live Framer domain without agency assistance, and the site passes the responsive check on all five pages.
