When does a Framer design become a web page?

A Design Page is a private canvas for exploring a layout. Put the finished layout on a Web Page when it should become a public part of the website.

Say you want to show people what your new booking app does. Design the headline, example and button in Framer. If you also want to save bookings or show each customer their appointments, treat those as separate app tasks with their own storage and sign-in tests.

For several pages with the same layout, such as a set of case studies, Framer can use a CMS collection. A collection holds entries, and one page template presents them.

How can you check a Framer page before publishing?

Open Preview to try the page at phone and desktop widths. Use a disposable project and sample text, with no form or payment connected.

Start with one Web Page
Add a short description of the sample app, a section with an example and a link that takes the reader there. Keep alternate designs on a separate Design Page.
Check the narrow layout
Open Preview and shrink the window. Read the headline and check that the link is visible, the content fits and the destination makes sense.
Check the wider layout
Widen the preview and try the same link again. Keep the project unpublished for this exercise. Custom code entered through Settings is outside what this preview can verify.

What changes when a Framer site uses its own address?

Framer can publish a site to an address it provides. To use your own domain, the site needs a paid plan.

In November 2026, the U.S. pricing display listed Basic at $10 per month on yearly billing. The plan listed 30 site pages, two CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items and 50 GB of monthly bandwidth. Check the billing period and currency at checkout. Extra editing seats are billed separately from the site plan.

What can you hand over or take out of Framer?

Choose the route that matches what the next person needs. Handing over a Framer project, saving its content and moving the full website are different jobs.

Framer handoff options
What you need	Documented route
Give a client the Framer project	A project owner or workspace admin can send a transfer. When the client accepts, the current site subscription ends and the client may need to activate a plan. Review who controls the domain registration and any connected accounts separately.
Keep a visual copy	Export selected assets or pages as PNG or JPG from the desktop app.
Move articles or other collection entries	Framer documents CMS export through plugins to CSV or JSON. Check the fields, images and links your chosen plugin carries before relying on it.

Can you move the full Framer site to another host?

Full standalone export is unverified. One Framer help article says the published files can be downloaded, while another says Framer provides no standalone export for self-hosting.

Framer documents a proxy option where your server forwards requests to a site that Framer still serves. If the site must work after you leave Framer, get the supported export steps for your plan before you commit. Check which files you would receive and whether the pages, images and any forms would work without the Framer site.
