10 Framer Templates That Inspire

I spend a lot of time in the Framer marketplace — both as someone who uses templates and someone who makes them. And one thing I've noticed is that the best ones share something in common: they feel intentional. Not just pretty, but thought through. The structure makes sense, the CMS is already set up, and you can actually imagine your own work living inside them.

This list is the ones that caught my attention recently — a mix of portfolios, agency sites, and SaaS templates. Some free, some paid, all worth your time.

Hanssen — Free

Clean, black and white, with light and dark mode built in. Hanssen ships with eight pages including a blog with CMS already configured, which means you can start publishing from day one without having to set anything up yourself. It's one of the most polished free portfolio templates available right now, and a great starting point if you're just getting your site off the ground.

Viper — Free

Viper has a confidence to it that you don't always find in free templates. The layout puts your projects first, the animations feel considered rather than decorative, and the CMS handles both case studies and blog posts out of the box. It's bold in a way that works across different kinds of creative work.

Palmer — Free

Dark, minimal, generous with white space. You drop your work in and it looks like it belongs there. Palmer is the kind of template that stays out of the way — and that's exactly what makes it good.

Claura — $129

Claura is built for a specific kind of client — AI agencies and consultants who need to look credible and professional from the moment someone lands on the page. Seven pages, CMS-powered case studies, clean responsive design, and a structure that's designed around converting visitors into inquiries. If you're in the AI or automation space and need a site that communicates trust quickly, this is a well-considered option.

Last Studio — $129

Last Studio is modern and clean with a playful edge — the kind of agency template that feels alive without being distracting. Ten pages, CMS-powered case studies, blog, services, native forms, and some of the best performance scores I've seen in a template (99 on performance, 100 on accessibility and SEO). It's built by the same creator as Sharp, which tells you something about the attention to detail. If you want an agency site that looks great and loads fast without any trade-offs, this is a strong choice.

Arpeggio — Paid

Arpeggio has an editorial quality to it that's hard to find in most agency templates. The typography, spacing, and motion design all feel considered — nothing is there just to fill space. It's built around a narrative flow that guides visitors through your work naturally, which makes it especially good for boutique agencies and design studios that want the site to feel like an experience, not just a brochure. One of the most polished templates on the marketplace right now.

Orchid — Free ✦ My template

Orchid is one I built myself, and it's probably the template I'm most proud of so far. It's designed for creative agencies, studios, and independent designers who want something that feels light and personal without sacrificing professionalism. The layout is bright and minimal, the transitions are smooth, and everything — Works, Journal, Legal — is CMS-powered so you're not rebuilding pages every time something changes.

FABRICA® — Paid

Monochrome, high contrast, strong point of view. FABRICA is built so that the work is the first thing anyone notices — the layout and structure serve that purpose completely. It suits a studio that already has a clear identity and wants the website to reflect it.

Noora — Free

Clean and professional in a way that builds trust before anyone reads a word. Noora is the kind of template that makes a studio look established from day one — good for agencies that want clients to feel confident in them as soon as they land on the page.

REFORM — Paid

Heavy typography, unconventional layout, a real point of view. REFORM is for agencies that have something specific to say about design and want the website to communicate that immediately. One of the most distinctive templates on the marketplace.

A few things worth knowing before you choose

The best template is the one that fits where you are right now — not the most impressive one in the preview.

If you plan to write and publish content, check for CMS support before anything else. If you're going to customize heavily, simpler is better — you want to build on top of it, not spend time undoing it. And it's always worth checking when a template was last updated. Framer moves quickly and well-maintained templates make a real difference.

Most importantly: don't overthink it. Pick something close to what you need, add your work, and publish. You can always refine it from there.
