Not all Framer templates are the same. Here’s how to spot the ones worth using for your site or brand.

Introduction
Framer has many templates. Some are simple, others are packed with features. But not all are made well. If you want a clean, flexible, and high-quality site, here’s what to check.
1. Clean Layout and Spacing
A good template has balance. It gives your content room to breathe. Look for structure that feels calm, not crowded.
2. Mobile-First Design
Test the mobile version. It should feel smooth, easy to read, and not broken.
3. Built-In Interactions
Nice scroll reveals, hover states, and button motion can make your site feel premium. Look for templates with subtle, smooth effects.
4. Easy to Customize
Check if you can edit text, colors, images, and sections without breaking anything. The best templates make this easy.
Final Thought
A strong template saves time and helps you grow. Look for clarity, clean design, and motion that fits your style.

Our team led the complete visual identity development during a historic edition shaped by the global pandemic.
With the theme “Every Home, A Story,” the festival celebrated the power of storytelling from within personal spaces, reflecting the realities of isolation and creativity during lockdowns.
To resonate with the youthful spirit of the filmmakers and move away from the traditionally muted visual styles, we introduced a bold, vibrant color palette and dynamic design elements across all festival materials, including posters, catalogs, brochures, environmental graphics, tickets, and identification cards.
This approach aimed to refresh the festival’s image, creating a more energetic, contemporary atmosphere while preserving its cultural legacy and international standing.

Partnering with their newly-created social team, we structured and experimented with social media as no other banks had done before; with a human-first approach. We wanted to make this a space where we didn't want to push products, but instead instill trust in current and potentially new customers.
Our biggest issue was figuring out how to make finance more exciting for the younger audiences; so instead of reusing old ads from the website and internal existing collateral, we had fun with it and pushed the limits where we could.
Our best series was our series called "Humans of Scotiabank", dedicated to finding interesting people who work within the company; learning more about them, what they do, and how they are just as passionate about helping customers as those on the front lines.
Starting from 0 followers, Scotiabank have since grown to over 112k followers, catching up with TD at 115k; whom currently put paid ads behind most of their posts, and started their account well before us.

Our most recent partner; the Reader's Choice Awards (RCA), had absolutely zero social presence. Their previous agency used generic stock imagery, and post captions that were sales-forward, and very social-backwards.
It did more harm than good, so our team proposed to completely wipe the slate and start anew.
We're currently reaching out to influencers and winners of the awards to highlight their businesses, and moreso show the behind-the-scenes of how they came to be, story-telling rather than just a generic "vote and win a plaque" series.
In the 2 months we've worked with RCA, they've seen the following growth:
30% increase in businesses outreaching for a partnership
+561% increase in post views
over 17.5k views this month,
100% organic growth
+152 followers on Instagram from 27 when we originally took over and started fresh
