6 months ago I opened @framer for the first time.
No design school. No agency experience. Just figuring it out.
Today my first template is live on the Framer Marketplace.
PRVSM is out 🖤

rank jumped +606 overnight and i didn’t do a single thing
genuinely don’t fully understand how the framer marketplace algorithm works but apparently PRVSM is doing something right
@MaxPalmer666 you’re a goat
first deposit just landed.
a music collective from California found me through my free PRVSM template on Framer — and hired me to build their site.
free templates → paid clients. it works.
may recap — 1 month of building in public as a web designer while working full time:
→ 1 template live on Framer Marketplace
→ $85 in commissions
→ 2 features on Contra
→ 188 followers across platforms
→ 1 client ghosted me, then came back. invoice is out.
small numbers. but this is the first month something I built made money while I was at my full time job not related to design.
that’s the part that feels different.
not life changing.
but someone just paid $7 for my template subscription — and that’s 7 sales of PRVSM now.
something I built in 3 free days is quietly making money while I’m at work.
I’ll take it.
honestly? it’s hard.
that’s why I only have 1 template live with a few more in progress. the first one was almost easy — I built it in 3 free days and the review changes were minor. done.
now I have more templates in progress but more work shifts too. that’s where the delays come from.
but I don’t work every day. depending on the week I get 2-4 days off — and for the past few months every single one of those days goes to this.
not complaining. just being real about what building on the side actually looks like.
@artemiydesign interesting that it was your second — so you already knew what they were looking for. first one teaches you the rules, second one you play by
serious question to Framer template creators:
has anyone been accepted by the reviewer team on the first submission? no “here’s what to fix” email, just accepted?
because from what I’ve seen, revision emails are basically part of the process
curious if the no-changes acceptance rate is even above 5%
