This document addresses the challenges faced by Korean users learning Framer due to a lack of Korean resources by translating official blog content into Korean and adding practical information. I hope this serves as a small help to those using Framer.
What is a Framer Template?
A Framer template is a pre-configured site design that allows others to quickly launch a website with predetermined structure and design. It's a reusable resource that lets you share your creativity while earning revenue.
Templates can be found on the Framer Marketplace and are easily accessible to creators. Even those new to Framer can get started quickly with a template.

Note
: This template is ideal for users who want to create stylish sites without coding or for creators juggling both design and revenue considerations.
Preparing to Submit Templates
The Framer Help page provides detailed guidance on the template submission process. After submission, reviews can take up to 21 days, divided into initial review (~7 days) and design evaluation (~14 days). Once approved, you can publish it on the Marketplace, and if necessary, you can receive feedback and resubmit.
Pre-submission Checklist
The quality of your template greatly influences whether it gets approved. We recommend checking the following to ensure quality.
Are the layers & CMS structure fully organized?
Does it include consistent design styles and high-resolution images?
Does it have a custom 404 page?
Is it crafted with an original and purpose-driven layout?

Designing Easy-to-Use Templates
When designing templates, it helps to make sure users can easily modify them. Refer to the following design tips to design accessible templates.
Arrange and categorize CMS collections
Group and label layers
Include documentation or guides
Minimize dependency on external code or libraries
Ensure the template is configured so users can instantly understand modifications, and before you start designing, consider from the user's perspective by asking, ‘Would this be more convenient?’
Understanding the Creator Dashboard and Rankings After Submission
Using the Creator Dashboard
Check current status: Draft, Pending, In Review, Published, Archived
For sale templates, view statistics
Easy handling of modification submissions or feedback incorporation via the dashboard
Template Rankings
In the Marketplace, design quality, keyword usage, and user reviews impact rankings. A SEO optimized title and description, along with quality example images, determine your success.
Monetization Strategy: From Template Sales to Referral Links
Earnings Structure Overview
100% of template sales revenue goes to the creator.
Even with free templates, if users upgrade to a Framer paid plan, you can earn 50% referral income for 12 months.
Comparison of Sales Methods
Framer Marketplace consignment sales: Platform exposure, low transaction complexity, no fees, neutral review process
Selling on your own site (using platforms like Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad): Full control over pricing, branding, and service, direct management of marketing, customer support, and payment systems required
Note
: After comparing the two methods, consider which one fits your creative activities best.
Registering Templates on External Platforms
Besides Framer Marketplace, you can register templates on sites like Framer Templates Directory, FramerThings, Gallereee, UI8, Creative Market. Each platform has different target audiences and registration conditions, so it's best to start where the template's target and characteristics match.
