Quickstart guide: How to Open and Edit Framer Templates

June 21, 2025

This guide will show you how to open and edit Framer templates. These templates are essentially copies of projects created by other users. You'll learn how to open a project, edit its content, and attach a site plan to launch your own website.

This video dives into using Framer templates. Framer boasts over a thousand templates for all sorts of uses, with both free and paid options available, so there's truly something for everyone.

Introduction

Selecting and Using a Free Template

When you find a template you like, such as "Nanoc Card" from our demo, you can start using it right away. For free templates, just click "Use for Free." If it's a paid template, you'll usually get an email with an access link. Once you select a template, a copy is automatically created in your dashboard.

Selecting and Using a Paid Template from WhiteUI.Store

Once you buy a paid template from WhiteUI.Store, you'll get an email receipt containing download links and instructions. The download interface might look a little different depending on where you made your purchase. You'll find all the steps outlined in this guide mirrored in the Documentation.pdf file, which is included in the same download package as the template.

Editing Your Website Template

Think of Framer templates as ready-to-go projects. You can completely customize them, just like any project you'd start from scratch. This means you're free to change the text, swap out images, and alter any design element. For example, we showed how easy it is to change text to "My Amazing Website" and adjust an element's color.

Publishing Your Framer Project

Ready to launch your site? You can publish your Framer project as a website directly. If you're using a free template, it'll be published on a free domain. If you want to upgrade to a paid plan for features like a custom domain, you can easily do that in the project settings. We've got a special offer just for you!

Upgrading and Customizing Further

In your project settings, you'll see options to upgrade your project. This is where you can connect a custom domain or unlock more advanced features. Upgrading is a great idea if you're expecting a lot of traffic to your website or need those extra functionalities.
