"Analytics" seems to be in the Pro plan only. Does that mean we cannot add Meta Tag, Google Tag/Analytics to the website if we're on the Free, Mini & Basic plans? Thanks
so that's it, and if i wanted to animate one page website really complex there is no limit to use constraints, variables and other tools for animate unlike figma have paid option for some prototype animation tools
No, it's completely free. The reason is simple, it's free marketing for them with all those who are using their platform to host their website for free (win-win).
What does "bandwidth" in Framer mean? If it means "transferred data," what can we do with a 100MB bandwidth limit? Let's say the site costs 1MB per visit, so would the site only load 100 times and then be done?
Humm, great question. Here is an answer from Framer AI Robot: Answering questions using AI (Beta) Hello I am a Framer robot. I try to answer questions using AI. I think I found a good answer, but like humans I am not perfect. Please let me know if I made a mistake. Bandwidth, in the context of Framer's plans, refers to the amount of data that can be transferred from your website to your visitors within a given period, typically a month. This includes all the data your website sends to visitors, such as HTML files, images, scripts, and any other content that makes up your site. The bandwidth usage is calculated based on the number of visitors to your site and the size of your site. For example, if your site is 1MB in size and you have 1000 visitors in a month, your bandwidth usage would be 1GB for that month (1MB x 1000). If you exceed the bandwidth limit for your plan, Framer won't immediately shut down your site. Instead, you'll receive a notification about the excess usage and you'll be asked to consider upgrading your plan to accommodate the increased traffic. It's also worth noting that certain types of traffic, such as traffic from DDoS attacks, won't be counted towards your bandwidth usage. This is to ensure that your site remains accessible to legitimate visitors even in the event of such attacks. In terms of estimating your bandwidth usage, it can be a bit tricky as it depends on various factors such as the size of your site, the number of visitors, and the type of content on your site. However, as a general rule, if you're expecting less than 100,000 visitors per month and your site is mainly an informative landing page with common sections like About Us, Contact, Pricing, etc., it's unlikely that you'll exceed the 100GB bandwidth limit set for the Pro plan. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. If my answer solved your issue, please add a ✅ to your post title. If not, feel free to reply and we’ll do our best to get someone to assist you soon.
I don't think it's the appropriate term to use. You pay for hosting wherever your website is. It's indeed cheaper on Hostinger and bluehost that are associated with Wordpress but Framer offers flexibility. You have to frame it differently. I don't say maintenance, I say server where your website is hosted and secured for only 35$ per month. Cheaper than a phone bill (which is true). Work on your marketing angle and sales.
@@framerwme here in India GoDaddy offers hosting and SSL for 3 dollars per month if purchased on yearly plan. Which is good enough for landing pages I design and build. Now if I ask my clients to pay 35-40 dollars they will loose their mind. So I'm using figma to design and HTML/css to build it from scratch sometimes next js. I will try presenting it in a different way as you suggested. Instead of saying maintenance cost. Let's see if it works.
@@MuizAdanla One plan = one website. Many are confused because of webflow that charges for workspaces and for hosting as well. With Framer, you pay for workspaces only when you have a team. In short, you can have as many websites on the free plan as you wish, whenever you want to attach a custom domain, you need to purchase a plan.
How can I use the free version to create some practice sites for my portfolio? I tried to add an image and it asks me to upgrade. Can I buy a plan for one site, which will give me a free workshop and then do as many sites within that? Or how does rhyis work?
It asks you to update because your image is more than 5MB. You have to optimize it or make it smaller before uploading to Framer. You can upload as many photo as you want as long as they are under 5MB.
@@framerwme okay so basically I can use the free version until I want to add a custom domain, transfer the site to a client or just need the plan for the visitors count?
@@framerwmeSo, I can do all that including multiple CMS collections? The only thing is, I will have to pay for Pro when I want to add custom domain, correct? In other words, the editor is unlimited/unrestricted unlike Figma, for example? Thanks.
Okay sir that means if my client wants a custom domain and all the other features then I would need to clarify them about the monthly plans they need to pay to run the website right?
Yes. Or an alternative is to charge a maintenance fee retainer. For instance, I charge $150 per month for maintenance and I typically include the hosting in the price so it's zero headaches for my clients.
So, im a designer, already have my portfolio in figma. My portfolio has like 6 pages in total ( home, project 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, and 6, and contact) . And I bought in godaddy my domain and hosting. Do i need to pay Framer plan for that kind of simple website? and what if i pay Framer plan just to do the portfolio and then leave it all fully built... do I still need to pay framer ?
@@sebas08a not sure to understand your question bro. No need for the pro plan, you can take the basic one. The hosting is irrelevant though, Framer’s website are hosted on their own platform. Make 1) homepage 2) contact 3) cms collection for projects
If you had purchased custom domain from godadday and want to add to your framer site then you will have to pay monthly for hosting (choose mini plan $5per/month). Im using mini plan for my site custom domain from namecheap.
It is subjective. If you don't value the flexibility of Framer, then yes it is expensive. But if you value how fast you can build websites on Framer, then no it's not expensive.
I have a question. I’m a student in uni and need a free no code website builder to make my portfolio website. I need a couple of pages, so can I make all the pages as different sites and link them to each other, to form a cohesive website? (Because you can only have one page in a website in Framer’s free plan but it says that you can have numerous websites and publish them all using Framer’s domain name) I would really appreciate some insights as I’m on an extreme time crunch, thank you!
@@whooshroosh hey you can have unlimited pages in Framer’s free plan (framer domain). For instance, my free course is hosted on a free domain: framerwme.framer.ai
No one is forcing you. Quit the victim and complaining mentality, brings you no where. I’m happy and my clients are happy. So go spread your negativity somewhere else bud.

The visitor count is a factor but the main reason someone would choose a plan is because they want a custom domain.
@@framerwme thank you
So... I have to sign a plan for each site that i use, correct? Or can i sign up for one plan and that can cover more than one website?
Yes, it's one plan per site.
How do i export the framer website to my own server?
@@companyreviews294 not possible at this moment

@@whooshroosh unlimited pages :)

You don’t need to pick a plan. It’s not like webflow. You can build unlimited websites for free

Not separately. It’s on Framer directly.
You pay only if you want to add your custom domain.
You didn'it talk about workspace
Not necessary if you don’t have an agency, team members, or recurring collaborators.
In short, do not take a workspace if you’re solo.
@@framerwme Thank you for clarifying this. Helped me a lot for budgeting my freelance business!
