To hire a Framer expert, look for three things: live Framer sites you can open and test on your phone, a fixed scope and price in writing, and post-launch support included. A Certified Framer Expert is a designer or studio that Framer has reviewed and listed in its official Experts directory, which confirms real production experience on the platform. Expect to pay roughly $1,500 to $3,000 for a landing page and $4,000 to $10,000 for a full marketing site from an experienced expert or studio.

What Is a Certified Framer Expert?

Framer runs an Experts program for designers and agencies who build professional sites on the platform. Members are reviewed by Framer before they are listed, and they appear in Framer's own directory of experts that businesses use to find help. The program exists because demand for Framer builds has grown faster than the number of people who can deliver them well.

Certification tells you that someone has shipped real work on Framer and has been vetted by the platform itself. It does not tell you whether their style suits your brand, whether they understand your market, or whether they can write copy that sells. You still need to check those yourself.

Off/Mode is a Certified Framer Expert, among the first 200 worldwide to earn the certification.

Where to Find Framer Experts

• Framer's Experts directory: the most reliable starting point, because every listing has been reviewed.

• Framer's community and template marketplace: useful for spotting designers whose work you like.

• Freelance platforms such as Contra or Upwork: wide choice, but quality varies a lot.

• Referrals: ask founders whose Framer sites you admire who built them.

Freelancer or Studio?

A freelancer is often the best value for a small, clearly defined site, especially if you can write the content and manage the project yourself.

A studio makes sense when the website is a sales channel: when positioning, copy direction, SEO, speed and support after launch matter as much as the visuals. You pay more, but you get more than a pair of hands.

Seven Questions to Ask Before You Hire

1. Can I see three live Framer sites you built? Open them on your phone. Check speed, mobile layout and whether the CMS content looks real.

2. Who writes the content? Many sites stall because nobody owns the copy. Know who is responsible before you start.

3. What exactly is included? Number of pages, CMS collections, revision rounds, breakpoints and integrations, in writing.

4. Is the price fixed? Hourly billing on a website almost always grows. A fixed scope and price protects both sides.

5. How do you handle SEO? Metadata, redirects from your old site, sitemaps and page speed should be part of the build, not an add-on.

6. Will I own everything? The Framer project, the domain and the content should belong to you.

7. What happens after launch? Look for 15 to 30 days of included support and a clear option for ongoing help.

Red Flags

• A portfolio of mockups with no live links.

• A price quoted before anyone has asked what your site needs to achieve.

• Templates presented as custom work.

• No mention of mobile, SEO or content until you bring them up.

• The project stays in their account with no plan to transfer it.

What a Framer Expert Should Cost

As a working guide for 2026: landing pages from experienced experts run about $1,500 to $3,000, full marketing sites with a CMS about $4,000 to $10,000, and larger builds with localisation or complex content more than that. Turning an existing Figma design into Framer usually costs less than design and build together.

At Off/Mode, landing pages start at $1,800, AI Site Upgrades at $2,200, and a Full Website with strategy, design and the Framer build at $4,800. Every project has a fixed scope and price agreed on a free 30-minute call, with flexible payment plans. You can book that call here.
