# How much does a Framer website cost? Plans, build costs and what drives the price > A Framer website costs a monthly plan ($10 to $30 on yearly billing) plus the build. See what each part includes, what drives quotes, and how we price it. - Canonical URL: https://www.artone.studio/articles/framer-website-cost - Published: 2026-11-02 - Author: Razvan Badea, Artone Studio **Quick answer:** A Framer website has two separate costs. The first is the Framer plan, which on yearly billing runs $10 a month on Basic or $30 a month on Pro, plus $20 a month for each extra editor. The second is the design and build, which depends far more on scope and on who builds it than on the platform. Search "how much does a Framer website cost" and you get two kinds of answers mixed together: Framer's subscription pricing and what designers charge to build a site. Founders often compare one against the other and end up surprised by the total. This guide separates the two, explains what actually moves the build price, and shows how we price Framer work. ## The two costs behind every Framer website Every Framer site you pay for has: - **A platform cost.** The monthly Framer plan that hosts the site, connects your domain, and sets limits on pages, CMS content, bandwidth, and editors. - **A build cost.** The design, copy, structure, and development work that turns an empty Framer project into a site that explains your product and gets people to book a demo or sign up. The platform cost is predictable and published. The build cost is where quotes vary, because it reflects decisions and thinking, not just the number of pages. ## What the Framer plan costs These are Framer's published prices on yearly billing, as listed on the [Framer pricing page](https://www.framer.com/pricing) in November 2026. Framer changes its plans from time to time, so check the page before you commit. ### Free $0. Useful for trying Framer or using it as a design tool. It runs on a Framer subdomain, and connecting your own domain requires a paid plan, so it is not an option for a company website. ### Basic $10 a month. Includes a custom domain, 30 pages, 2 CMS collections with up to 1,000 items, and 50 GB of bandwidth. Framer positions it for personal sites, freelancers, and small studios. For a company site it gets tight quickly, mainly because of the CMS limits and because site redirects are not part of it. ### Pro $30 a month. Includes 150 pages, 10 CMS collections with up to 2,500 items, 100 GB of bandwidth, site redirects, a staging environment, and branching with previews. Framer describes this as the plan for agencies, startups, and scale-ups running their marketing stack on Framer, and it is the plan most company sites end up on. Pages, CMS items, collections, and bandwidth can be extended with paid add-ons if you outgrow the base limits. ### Enterprise Custom pricing, with custom limits, unlimited editors, SSO, and an uptime guarantee. Relevant for larger teams with security and procurement requirements. ### Costs people forget - **Editors.** Additional editors cost $20 a month each, and content editors who only update the CMS and on-page content cost $10 a month each. Viewers are free. A marketing team of three can easily add more to the monthly bill than the plan itself. - **Localization.** Translation locales are $20 a month per locale. - **Add-ons.** A/B testing and funnels, advanced hosting, extra bandwidth, and extra CMS capacity are all priced separately. A practical rule: budget for Pro plus the editors who will actually touch the site, then add localization or add-ons only when there is a real need. ## What the build costs, and why quotes vary so much Two quotes for "a five-page Framer site" can be very different, and both can be honest. The difference usually comes from what is included. ### Copy and messaging A site built on copy you already have is a design and build job. A site where someone has to work out the headline, the value proposition, and the order of arguments is also a positioning job. That thinking is often the most valuable part of the project, and the part cheaper quotes leave out. ### Custom design or a template Starting from a Framer template is faster and cheaper. A custom design takes longer because every section is shaped around your product, your buyers, and your brand. For a funded technology company competing for attention, a template that looks like hundreds of other sites can work against you. ### Number of page types Ten pages built from the same layout cost less than five pages that each need their own structure. Homepage, pricing, product pages, a blog, case studies, careers, and legal pages each bring their own decisions. If you are still deciding what the site needs, our guide on [what pages a startup website needs at launch](https://www.artone.studio/articles/what-pages-does-a-startup-website-need) is a good starting point. ### CMS setup Blogs, changelogs, case studies, and job listings live in Framer CMS collections. Setting these up properly, with clear fields and templates that hold up when someone pastes in a long title, takes time up front and saves your team a lot of frustration later. ### Motion and interactions Scroll animations, product loops, and custom interactions make a site feel considered, and they take real design and build time. They are worth it on a homepage or a launch page. They are rarely worth it on every page. ### Migration and SEO Moving an existing site to Framer adds work: mapping old URLs, setting up redirects, and carrying over titles and meta descriptions. Redirects need the Pro plan or higher, which is one more reason Basic rarely fits a company site. Our article on [migrating to Framer without losing SEO](https://www.artone.studio/articles/migrate-website-to-framer-without-losing-seo) covers the process step by step.

It works when you have strong design instincts, clear positioning, and time. The hidden cost is time and a site that looks fine to you but does not guide visitors toward the action you want. ### Hire a freelancer A reasonable choice for a small, well-defined site with a clear brief. Quality and availability vary a lot, so look at sites they have actually shipped, not only Dribbble shots, and ask who maintains the site after launch. We compared the two routes in more detail in [web design agency vs freelancer](https://www.artone.studio/articles/web-design-agency-vs-freelancer-startup). ### Work with a studio A studio brings design, copy, build, and motion into one team, which matters when the website is tied to a launch, a raise, or a repositioning. It costs more than a template, and it should come with a clearer process, structured feedback, and someone accountable for the result. If you go this route, [how to hire a Framer expert](https://www.artone.studio/articles/how-to-hire-a-framer-expert-for-your-startup) lists the questions worth asking first. ## How we price Framer websites We are an Official Framer Expert, and we have been nominated for Framer Site of the Year. We build client websites in Framer, and we price that work in two ways. **Fixed-scope projects** start at $2,000. You get one package price for the agreed scope, not an itemized breakdown, because the design, copy, and build only work as a whole. Payment is split 50/25/25: half upfront, a quarter at the midpoint, and the rest before final file delivery. **Retainers** fit teams where the website is one part of a wider stream of work, such as product releases, launch pages, pitch decks, and motion. The Retainer is $5,000 a month, one request at a time, with updates every other business day. Retainer Plus is $9,000 a month, two requests at once, each updated every other business day. Both cover product, web, brand, development, and motion, with no cap on revision rounds. In both cases the Framer project ends up in your own workspace. Full ownership of the site and every file transfers to you, so you never need our permission to edit your own website. You pay Framer directly for your plan and editors, which keeps the platform cost transparent and separate from ours. ## What a Framer site costs after launch The build is a one-time cost, but a site keeps costing a little every month. The plan and editor seats are the obvious part. The less obvious part is keeping content accurate as your product, pricing, and team change. Framer removes most of the technical upkeep, so the real question is who owns the site. We covered that in [Framer website maintenance after launch](https://www.artone.studio/articles/framer-website-maintenance-after-launch). ## How to budget for a Framer website 1. **Pick the plan first.** For most company sites, that is Pro, plus the editors who will publish content. 2. **Decide what the site has to do.** Get demos booked, support a raise, explain a new product? That decides how much strategy and copy work you need. 3. **List the page types and CMS collections.** This is what scopes the build. 4. **Decide who owns it after launch.** An in-house marketer, a freelancer on call, or a retainer. 5. **Ask for one price for a defined scope.** It makes quotes easier to compare and keeps everyone focused on the outcome. ## The short version Framer itself is inexpensive: $10 to $30 a month on yearly billing for most sites, plus editor seats and any add-ons. What you are really budgeting for is the build: the copy, design, structure, and CMS setup that make the site work for your business. That is where the gap between quotes comes from, and where it pays to be clear about scope.
