An eight-step workflow for turning a Framer SaaS template into your own website, from global styles to publishing.

To customize a Framer SaaS template, update the global styles first, then the shared components, then the content page by page. Working from global to specific means each change applies across the whole site, so you finish faster and the design stays consistent.

Key takeaways

  • Change color and text styles before editing individual pages.

  • Edit shared components such as the navigation, footer, and buttons once.

  • Rewrite copy page by page, starting with the homepage and pricing.

  • Use the CMS for anything that changes often.

Step 1: Update color styles

Framer templates use shared color styles. Replace the primary, secondary, and background colors with your brand colors, and every section updates at once.

Step 2: Update text styles and fonts

Pick a heading font and a body font, then update the existing text styles. Avoid changing font sizes on individual layers, so typography stays consistent across breakpoints.

Step 3: Edit shared components

Step 4: Rewrite page copy

Start with the pages buyers visit most: the homepage, pricing, and features. Keep the existing structure, and replace each headline and paragraph with your own product details.

Step 5: Replace images

Swap the product screenshots for your own. Keep the same aspect ratios to preserve the layout, and add descriptive alt text for accessibility and SEO.

Step 6: Fill the CMS

Add your own blog posts, customer stories, and integrations. Remove sample items you don’t need before publishing.

Step 7: Check every breakpoint

Preview the site on desktop, tablet, and phone. Pay close attention to long headlines, comparison tables, and buttons.

Step 8: Set up SEO and publish

Add page titles, meta descriptions, and social images, connect your domain, and publish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I remove pages I don’t need?

Yes. Delete any page you don’t need and remove it from the navigation and footer.

Will my changes break the responsive layouts?

Not if you edit text and images within the existing structure. Larger layout changes should be checked on every breakpoint.
