2. History of UI UX Design: So in this video, we're going to take a trip down
the memory lane, where we're going to
dive into the cool story of how UI UX design
has evolved over time. It's a journey from the
early blips of technology to the sleek and user friendly
interfaces we enjoy today. This is the history of user interface and user
experience design. All right, let's
kick things off. In the 1960s, back then, people like Douglas
Engelbart were laying the groundwork for what would become our modern interfaces. It was the era of clunky
machines and basic graphics. Far cry from what
we're used to now. Fast forward to the '80s were apples making waste
with the Macintosh. This is when those
clickable icons and Windows started
becoming a thing. Suddenly computing got a
whole lot more visual as we roll into the 2000 mobile
phones take center stage. Remember those good
al Nokia phones, They were the trailblazers
of mobile user interface. The times of texting Nine style. A bit quirky but
oh so nostalgic. But hold up, it's
2007 and Apple drops the iphone bomb touchscreens and pinch to zoom
become all the rage. It's like we've jumped
into the future, right? Mobile devices start changing the whole UI game.
And guess what? Here we are today with Abscalore social media and
gadgets that talk to us. A UX designers are
working hard to make our digital life
smooth and enjoyable. It's all about
getting that app to feel just right when
you tap the screen. Looking ahead, we've got some
wild stuff coming our way. Augmented reality
and virtual reality are peeking around
the corner soon. It won't just be about
tapping and swiping. You might be waving at your gadgets to
make things happen. Through all of this,
it's the designers who've been the real MVPs,
they've been crafting, how we interact with tech, making sure it's not just
functional but looks good too. So there you have
it. The history of user interface and user
experience design. Hope you have fun
strolling through the tech timeline with me and I'll see you
in the next video.
3. Why Framer?: This video, we're diving deep into the world of
website creation. We'll be exploring popular
options like Quick Square, Space, Webflow, and a newcomer
with an AI twist framer. By the end of this video, you'll have a
clearer idea of what each platform offers and why
Framer might just stand out. So let's jump right in. When it comes to
building websites, you've got options galore, Wick and square space are
user friendly choices, perfect for those without
extensive coding skills. They offer dragon
drop interfaces, predesigned templates,
and easy to use tools to get your site
up and running swiftly. Then there's Webflow,
a powerful tool for those who want more control. With Webflow, you're working
in a visual interface while having access to
code level customization. It's like a bridge between
design and development, offering flexibility
and creative freedom. Here's where things
get interesting. Framer, traditionally known
for his prototyping prowess, has shaken things up. Imagine typing a simple
prompt and voila, and AI generates a fully
editable website for you. It's a concept that's
changing the game. Why might you choose
Framer over the others? Well, imagine the possibilities
with framer's AI, you're not just
picking templates. You're generating custom
layouts based on your ideas. You're not stuck
with preset styles. You have a starting point
that's uniquely yours. While Wicks, Square space, and Webflow have
their strengths, Framer's AI powered approach
provides a refreshing take. You can start with
AI generated layouts and then fine tune
them to perfection. It's like having a
personal design assistant always ready to
experiment and iterate. But there's more framer
doesn't just stop at design. It bridges the gap
between design and development with the ability
to publish real websites. It's like having a one stop shop for both creating and launching. The convenience is
undeniable in the end. The platform you choose
depends on your needs. If you're looking for quick
set ups and simplicity, wicks and square space
might be your buddies. Webflow is the route for those seeking advanced
control and framer. Well, it's the avant
garde choice for those who want AI powered,
editable website magic. So as you embark on your
website building journey, consider what fits
your style and goals. Thank you for joining
me on this exploration of website builders and
I'll see in the next video.
4. Framer Pricing: So how much is it to
actually start using Framer? Well, I have good news. You can publish your own
website for completely free. Then the next plan
is only $5 a month. It adds a home and 44 page
templates and a custom domain. Next we have the basic plan, which is recommended
for personal sites. You can create an
unlimited amount of pages. You can also password protect
your website and you have a higher visitor cap for $30 a month. You
get the pro plan. It's recommended
for bigger sites and offers detailed analytics of the website and offers ten content management
system collections. You also have a 300
page search limit and a very high visitor cap. If you go down below, we actually have the team
pricings for $20 a month. You can have up to
five editors on your website and you have a
seven day version history. You can also live
collaborate with everyone on your team at the same
time for $40 a month. You get everything
that's included in the team basic plan for $20 and you can manage
project permissions. And you can also have ten
editors and you have a much, much bigger file storage. There's also a 30
day version history, which is really helpful
for a large project. If you really want
to take a step back, here's a little tip. All of these prices are
actually the prices you get per month if you pay
all in bulk for a year. So if you want to change
and see the prices, the monthly prices without
any strings attached, if you want to cancel
after a month, here are the prices
that you actually pay. So they're a little
more expensive. For the Team Basic it's
like $5 more expensive. And for the Team Pro it's $50
So it's $10 more expensive. And here as well, you can
toggle it back on and off, and you can see that the Mini is only $5 The basic is
like five as well, and the pro is ten. And the free stays
free, thankfully. And here's also another tip that I really recommend
checking it out. So actually, if you scroll down, you can have the
description of each plan in the detailed description of what everything
offers in a really, really user friendly way, you can see a visual
representation of what kinds of services are
offered in every package. So actually, here's the thing that you want to look out for. For example, in
the basic plan it says one content management
system collection, right? So if you're only on
this page looking at this and haven't scrolled
down yet, you would think, oh don't other plans like
contain that already, Like, so do I need
to buy the Basic? And you click on
and get the plan? But actually, if your priority
having a CMS collection, you can scroll down and
see that actually the free one and the mini one already
contain that CMS collection. And you can pay much less, or even you don't need to pay anything to have
that collection. So this is kind of,
you know, misleading, a little bit, little
misinformation in my opinion. And then you can see a detailed description
of the CMS items, and you can see the
detailed description of all of the services
offer for the businesses. Honestly, I don't really
think you would need this, but you know, you never know. And it's always good
to know your options. So yeah, watch out
for this for sure. And if you scroll
down a little more, there's an FAQ section for all things about
finance and pricings. And these might actually
answer some of your questions, So definitely have a
look at it as well before making any major
decisions about the plan. So yeah, the free one
is great to try out the service to see
what it has to offer. And then if you actually
want to publish your own website or your
website for a business, you can go for the mini, in my opinion, just to
have that custom domain. But of course, explore
your options and explore your needs like write out
the features that you want, like what your needs are, and then compare them
in this detailed table. And just match that and
choose the cheapest option. I feel like that would be
the most convenient way of saving money as well. So yeah, thank you for watching this video and I'll see
you in the next one.
5. Getting Started: In order to get
started to create your very own website on Framer, you first need to know
where to find stuff on Framer and to be familiarized
with the interface. Let's start with the website
itself and what it has to offer here on the main page. You can actually start
straight away with the prompt, but then you're going to have to go into detail and actually know the interface in
order to customize the AI prompt and
what it has produced. Let's see what's below here. Here's some promo, but this is not actually what
I wanted to focus on. Here we have the
AI prompt again, but if you actually scroll down, you can actually explore the templates as well that
you can start off with. Let's look at the new
and the free ones here. You can have many templates that were created using Framer. Some of them might have
been assisted with AI, some of them are completely
designer produced. You have the paid ones and you also have
many free options. Here at the free tab, you only have the three
options to explore. Now that that's out of the way, I also wanted to show you
the AI website templates, and here we can see
some of the examples. There are also staff picks and recommendations
just from designers. Anyways, for your resources. Apart from this
course, of course, there are many resources
for you to learn. If you have any
questions at all, you want to go into detail about some topic that interests you to actually get started and get to know the
interface we want to login. Once you're inside
of your account, you're created with the
dashboard at the very center. You have to get started buttons and you can start with a I, start creating your very
own website in one instant. You can also paste your
design from Figma, or you can watch tutorials other than this
tutorial of course, and learn Framer with Framer. Below that, you have your
very own recent project. I already have a couple which is a blank canvas and something
that I just tried out. You can also see the
last time it was viewed, the last time it was edited. You can also list it, or I have the icons
and have the preview. You also have the search bar to search for your own project. You can sort it by last
viewed by me, last edited, and alphabetically to create your very own project.
You can also do that. Here on the left part, we have our personal account and our personal
recess and archived. If you click here, you
have the account settings, the night and day mode which
you can toggle between. You have the desktop app
that you can download. You can also start the app to import from Figma and
sketch your own prototypes. You can also hide
this get started section by clicking right here. You can also go to Home page and request support community, and this is also
where you sign up. If you go to archive, you can see your
archive projects that are no longer in use. Here. You also have
the My Team tab. If you click on the three dots, you have the Team settings. You can invite
members, copy, invite, link, and create a new
folder to stay organized. If you go to all, we actually have
the same dashboard because I'm all alone here. Unfortunately, I'm not
working with anyone else. We can go to templates, you can see your templates here, or you can create your very
own templates that you can share around with
your team members. If we go into archived, we have the archive
project of the team. Let's go to rests, and let's go to an empty canvas
here, let's delete this. We actually have quite
a lot to explore. Let's go one by one. On the top left, we have the framer logo and we have the option to
go to the dashboard. We have the quick actions. We also have a bunch
of different options. Where you can create a new file and all of the
options with the file. You can also edit, like copy, paste, Select. All these all have
their own shortcuts that are conventional
keyboard shortcuts. On any laptop, I will not
be going into detail. Then you have the view. We can change the modes here. Again, we can zoom in, zoom out, You can also do this
with your mouse pad, your mouse, whatever you like. You can stylize your text here, which is also possible
on the right side. More convenient, I will
show you that later. Then we have the groups. Groups. We can flip stuff, we can create components, and we can create
components from code. We can preview, we can also
create code components. Here we have some preferences
for the site settings. We have more advanced
site settings like custom domains,
redirects and analytics, and your plans and the
version of history of your website for any questions
you can direct into help. You can also go back
into your account. Now that we explore that on top, we have the name of the project and the plan
that the website is on. On the right we have
the account logo. We have site settings. We also have the
live preview button, which shows you the version of the website when
it is published. You can also invite
collaborators here. You can publish and make
your website go live here. If we go to the left, you
have your pages, your layers, and your assets, which
is basically pretty much like a tree from
broad to more narrow. First, you have your pages. We now only have one
page, our home page, You would also have
your CMS is here, and you can create a canvas when you want to
create a prototype. Let's delete that. When you are actually creating
your website, you will be working
with layers here. We actually have a couple of
texts that we don't need. You can see that you
can start with AI. And we will create a
bunch of different layers that we will go into
in the later videos. Here, all of your
assets like images and code and different
stylizations will go into here. At the top, you can
insert your elements. You can start with AI, can insert sections, headers. You create your CMS here and
import all of your elements, like media forms, icons in here. Next we have the layout. You can customize the
layout of the web page. You can also create text
which changes the coursor. You can type whatever you want. Actually, on the
left that pops up the window that we can see here. These are all of the
alignment options here. You can also link to something. You can also customize the position of the
text like this. Or you can also click
and drag it here, and we'll automatically
change the numbers here. You also have the type of positioning which
is advanced and depends on basically
how the text is being positioned according to
the stuff on the website. We also have the
size of the text. We can add effects on hover, on press. You can have a loop. May have different styles, we can hide it,
change the capacity. Next we have the font
color the actual font. You can change it to anything. You can also change
the size of the font, the alignment of the font, and some accessibility options. Here at the bottom, you have your cursor options. This one is just dragging
around the canvas. This one is just
your normal cursor to select and drag stuff. This is for commenting. Here you can change
the mode as well. At the top, after text
comes CMS, for example. You can add your own blog, or you can import your own CSV to import
your own CMS collection. You can also have your
very own actions here, which is just shortcuts to
some actions on the website. For example, create with
AI or start a web page, create a component, et cetera. This was an introduction
to your interface just to get you familiarized
with your workspace. And I will see you
in the next video.
6. Practice: Create an Account: So your very first framer
assignment is just to create an account and get to the point where you can create
your website. So on the main page, you click on Sign Up. You choose your login method, you click on your option, either sign up with Google
or sign up with e mail. And then after confirming and activating via the e mail
you receive and your inbox, you are all ready to go. And if you want to practice it, you can do it by yourself or you could follow this video and
do it together with me. So I'll see you in
the next video.
7. Chapter Overview: So in this chapter we
started exploring framer, the history of user interface
and user experience design. What it is, why it's
so important to have UI UX designers
where it all started. Where it all began and
what we are at right now and what the future holds for us in terms of UI UX design. We also explored the
interface of Framer, where things are,
what you can do, a little customization
of the text. We explored a little bit
the setting of Framer. We also looked at the templates. Framer might be the
choice for you, why you would want to use an
AI powered website builder. Why you wouldn't
use, for example, like Wicks square
space or Webflow, which are all at the
top of their game. But Framer is such a
newcomer and is creating so many innovations at
the same time that I honestly don't think why
you wouldn't give it a go, at least anyways, as
the chapter summary, we looked at this stuff, we also learned how to create your own account and
how to get started. In next chapter, we'll actually be creating your
very own website. And it's not just going
to be any website, but it's going to be
an AI powered one. Which means you're
going to learn how to write your very own prompt. And how to be as
detailed as possible. What some tips are to get the best result you
can from the AI. We will also learn how
to customize stuff, how to change your font, how to play around with the colors and the
layout of the page. We will also explore
some external tools that I will talk about in the next chapter.
I'll see you there.
8. Chapter Introduction (Your First Website): Welcome to the next chapter. I already gave you a
little sneak peek preview. In the summary video
of the last chapter, I also gave you a clue on what else we're going
to be using with framer. Actually, that's a color picker and color palette assistant to help you make
the best decisions for color for your website. If you're not happy with
the AI generated ones, you can also use
that as a guide. As I previously mentioned
in this chapter, we're going to be diving into your very own first prompt
to create a website. We're going to practice that by doing an assignment
later together. I will also provide you with some tips and details on how to write a detailed prompt for
the best results with AI. I'll see you in the next video.
9. Writing Your First Prompt: Let's actually learn how
to use AI and produce the most effective results for your very own custom website. So a few tips to write
a detailed prompt for your website is the
first one is specific. Provide clear instructions on the type of website
you're aiming to create. Include details
about the purpose, target audience, and any
specific features you want. Next is design elements. Describe the visual
elements you have in mind. Mention the color, palette, typography, preferences,
and any branding elements. Next is user experience. Explain the user experience
you're aiming for. Are you looking for a clean
and minimalistic design or something more
vibrant and dynamic? So keeping that in mind, let's write an example prompt. So let's write, I'm looking to create a
portfolio website. Here we are, indicating what we actually want
to create and what our desires are for my
photography business. Again, it's good to
be as detailed as possible for what kind of business I am planning
to create, my website. It's a really good prompt, showcasing what kind of
business it is and what it actually is for is really great for the AI
to understand you. Next let's write, I want a clean and design that reflects
my creative style. Here we're going
into stylization. We mentioned that we want a
clean and modern design and I also want to reflect
my creative style. And we're going to describe our creative style in
the next sentences. Let's write, the
color palette should be a mix of muted pastels. Here we're already describing
our personal preferences, our creative styles
as mentioned before. And we're also giving it a
color palette to work with. And this description should be good for us to get started. And here we can see the
bar that got filled up describing how detailed
your description is. And if it's good enough for the AI to be able
to execute it well. So if we click on Start, it will actually start
creating your website. That's what the
next video is for. So I don't want you leave
you with a cliff hanger, but I will see you
in the next video.
10. After the Prompt: The previous video. We
left it off here by writing a pretty detailed
description and eight prong. So let's actually click on Start and see what it generates. You can see the progress
of creation, right? As it creates, you can see
that it creates straightaway the optimized versions of the website for
tablet and for phone. Here you're prompted to choose your free domain with
the framer dot ending, and we're going to click not. Now the amazing thing is the AI also generates text for you
and all of the headers. So even if you're not sure what you're going to write on
your photography website, it has already showed Judas suggestion of what
you can delve into. So here we have some
placeholder photos, some descriptions of the photos. And it has used different elements to make the website more
visually pleasing. And you have the reviews
at the very bottom, like any classic, you know,
service based website. At the very bottom, we have a little footer with the social media
icons and copyright. So I kind of like this prompt and I feel like we're
going to go with that. And you can see the optimized
versions are really well optimized and there's nothing
really much you want to do. If you're happy with the design, you can straight away putt
in your images instead of the placeholders and maybe change up the text a little bit. And it would be
pretty much good to go and attach the
links here, obviously. So yeah, this is
actually really amazing, and I will see in
the next video, looking at how we can customize
all of these elements.
11. Customizing Your First Website: So now that you
have your very own ready website generated by AI, it's actually trying
to tailor it even more and get everything
exactly right. So to customize your website, you just click on the
element you want to edit. And you can either
use AI to change it or you can go to the
right and you can change. For example, let's change
the color of the texture, red by going to the right. And you can click here, Color, You can change
the color here. You can also drag
around the element to change the position
of the elements. For example, I want to
here and this kind of looks like a journal
cover and it's, I think, perfect for a photography website
here, for example. I can also write something else, for example, space and explore
now could stay like this. And we could update
this date if we want. And it's currently
up to date though. So for this one we change
the position of the image. And if we go down, you can actually change
everything up here. You can change the position again of the paragraph in the, the heading in here. For example, if
you double click, it takes you to the image, there's an effect
that's applied to it. So for example, you can select
different blending modes. Right now it's at
luminosity and gray scale, that's why it's like this. But when you double click it, the image is actually like this. If you go to normal and
put down the gray scale, we have the normal image. And you can also select different fills
instead of an image. And you can replace and choose your own image by clicking here. You can also change
the resolution, the sizing, and add alt
text for accessibility. Also, stock photos and images that you could use and
you could use Search here. You can also crop the image if you want.
So let's move on. Go down and it's
pretty much the same. We have a couple more elements
that we can move around. And here we can change
the text, the icons. This is all customizable and
you can always change it up. And here you can also see
the created theme for us. And we can shuffle it up, and we can select the
elements we want shuffled, and it will shuffle according
to the color palette. So that's it for this video, and I'll see you
in the next one.
12. Color Palette Picker: In this lesson, I
wanted to show you an external tool
that I use when I'm creating my own websites
and when I need to choose colors and
a color palette, especially when I need to do it in accordance with
accessibility. Just in general, it's a really
good tool to help you make the right color decisions
and still have it like tailored to you and
what you actually want. At first, this might seem overwhelming for just like
a simple color picker, but actually there's a
whole color theory behind choosing the right colors for your website
or for anything, any graphic design that you do. Let's start by looking
at the main page. Just to be clear,
this is Adobe Color, an external tool that I
use to choose my colors. I have used just my Adobe
account to use this tool. Here we are met with an
example color palette, just to get you off started. Here you can see we
have the color wheel. We have extract, theme, extract, gradient, and
accessibility tools. Let's start with
the color wheel. You're probably
familiar with this. This is a color wheel. And look what happens when I grab one of these nodes
and just take it around, it changes the colors that are associated with
this color palette. The reason this is happening, this change is happening, is actually on the left,
the harmony rules. There are many different
harmony rules, and you can see the
explanation here. The color rules ensure
a harmonic balance of colors based on the color
you have set as base color. For example, right now, this is our base color. We can choose base color
just by clicking it, and it will base your
decision around that color. There are different rules. For example,
monochromatic is choosing the same colors in the same range, just
different pastels. And you can actually add
nodes as well on here. You can have a triad, you can have complementary
colors, right? This is really nice. Split complementary, double
split, complementary. And all of these act
in different ways. It's all just done for you
automatically to compound. So yeah, there are
different kinds of rules and you can also set
your own custom rules, just adding nodes
and playing around. And this is not really
based on any rules, so you might want to
be careful with this. I would recommend at first
sticking with these ones, with the preset
ones, for example, I like this one, and I can save to my library this
color palette. I can also name it, for example, my green. And I can also add some tags
so it's easier to find. I can save it and I
also publish it for the people to see and check
out my color palette. In the center, you can see the shades and you can
choose the primary one. You can also choose the mode
you're in, just right here. And you can also change
the values here, which is going to change the color palette
entirely as well. You can play around
with the Argu values with the brightness. Basically, everything
is customizable. You also have a
color picker tool. You can create a palette
according to that. Here you can extract a theme from a photo
that you provide. It can give you a
color palette here. You can do the same and
get a gradient here. You can actually check for contrast and for accessibility,
your color palette. Remember my color palette
that got a little mixed up. You can, you can actually choose the color palette in
accordance to these rules. See for example, C and
D are in conflict. These two move the swatches on color wheel to make the colors distinct and color blind safe. A color blind
person might not be able to differentiate
these two colors. We need to change that,
no conflicts are found. When we change it to this, we have the color
blind simulator and we can actually see what these colors would look like from a color blind
person's perspective. We have the color blind safe, and we have the
contrast checker. You can check, you have the different levels
of accessibility. Aa is easier to qualify for
than AAA. Let's go with AA. And we can choose the color here and make this more
darker and lighter. And we can see that this
contrast ratio is fine. But if we take this down
and make it darker, everything fails and the
contrast ratio is not meant. You can see here, you can
change this maybe this way. But no, even if you
make this brighter, it won't work here. For example, in the
smaller font it fails, but in the higher
fonts it is just fine. Here, you can actually have contrast suggestions
which will change. For example, we can
set a contrast ratio. It will provide us suggestions. For example, bad contrast, It will give you that as well. We can save it to libraries. Here on top, we have a few more fun things to look around. May have the Explore page
where you can explore different people's color
palettes and you can see where they were used and
where they got extracted. Next, we have trends. This way you can
look around and see the trends of colors in
the world in fashion, in illustration, graphic design. This way you can stay up to date with popular color palette. Next, we have libraries
where you have your own color palette
that you created. Next, you have the
theme switcher. You can also have a
little color game, and you need to remember the
sequence that it played in, For example, here, here. And you also have a timer. It's just fun to play
around with, explore, maybe see some new
colors that you like, and make note of that. It progressively gets
harder and harder. Let's do this last one. Oh, I don't know if
I remember this one. And Game over. See, you also
can tweet your high score. Here you have just a couple
more helper buttons, like help forum feedback, your own account, different
Adobe apps and Adobe Cloud. This is all I wanted to show
you for the color picker. I hope you enjoyed it and I'll
see you in the next video.
13. Practice: Create Your First Website: In this practice,
we're going to create our very own first
website from scratch. If you want, you can try
it out for yourself alone, or if you want,
you can follow me. And we can do this together. Going to click Start. With AI. To start, I will write
a prompt for us. It's going to be, in my case, we're going to be designing
a website for Yeti Learn. But it can be
whatever you want for your personal website or it
can be a portfolio website. It can be anything you want. I will start writing my prompt, a website for Yet learn. A learning platform
that courses that offer courses that are available
on different teaching, on different course platforms. The courses are about
Creative Coding, Spline, Unity,
Unity, Do Firefly, Adores Express, and Journey. Let's try this prompt. You can see it, put the title, our name in the very center. There's a pricings
in an FAQ page. Actually wrote some text about you learned
in our courses. I want to mention these colors. The color palette is, let's specify that this
is the primary color. Let's see what it
generates miserably. We can see what it
generated for us. We can see only your inner
unity have some text here. Cutting edge courses for
various skill levels. Here we have some courses
like the Sublime Course, the Firefly course,
and the Unity one. We have the pricings will remove this section because we don't actually sell
courses on this website. This is just informational. I don't like this for example. I can regenerate this. I don't actually
like any of these, so we can just instead type FAQ. We have some questions that
people might be asking. Now that we have the
basic layout here. We should also remove
pricing from here. Courses would take here, FAQ could take us there. And I think I'm pretty
happy with the colors. And now we can
actually use this as our starting point to completely
customizing our website. For example, courses here. Yeah, I'm actually pretty
happy with this page. We'll dive deeper into customization and adding
sections and removing sections, doing navigations, and creating multiple pages in the videos that are coming up
in the next chapter.
14. Chapter Summary (Your First Website): So in this chapter, we actually created your
very own first website. We first started off
with writing a prompt, how to write a prompt, and some tips and
tricks on how to write the best detailed prompt
and what some kind of, you know, limitations
are with framers AI. Nonetheless, I think it's
pretty good like still it's AI and it actually creates a functional website for
you from one single prompt. I also showed you a color picker tool
that helps you pick out your colors for your website for pretty much anything you
want in the digital world. You can use it in
graphic design. You can use it in web design. And I just wanted to show you a really useful tool that will hopefully make your workflow
a little bit easier. Then I showed you some
customization of fonts, how to change
colors of elements, and how to change an image. How to change the text. How to actually
regenerate with AI. If you're not happy
with the result, but you actually want
to give it another try. Yeah, we actually created your very first website that's
fully functional as well. In the next chapter, we'll
actually look into CMS, a content management system. I'll go into detail of what it is in the next intro lesson, but I hope I'll see
you in the next video.
15. Chapter Introduction (CMS): So this chapter
is all about CMS. You'll ask me, what is CMS? Well, it stands for
Content Management System, which is basically a system that helps you manage your
content creation, like from blogs to job
listings to marketing pages. All of that is managed by
content management systems. In CMS and Framer, there are collections
which allow you to show content and manage content
on your website easily. A collection in Framer acts like a simple database where you use a set of
different fields, each with a specific type, to collect a list
of items that can be stored and referenced
throughout the website. This allows for
greater flexibility and control of your
website's content. Make it easy to keep up with fresh and relevant information without touching
your site's design. Cms pages allow you to display
content like blog post, help articles, updates job
offers based on CMS items. So we'll go into detail
about all CMS features. So we'll go into detail for content management system in this chapter and you'll
learn more as we go. I promise it's not
that convoluted, it's just easier to do it than explaining it and
learning it by doing. So let's dive right in and I'll see you
in the next video.
16. Create a Blog Website: In this video, we're
going to see how to create your very own CMS. That means creating your
very own first blog, which is going to be stored in a content management system. Let's go back to our website that we created
in the previous chapter, just as an example that we used. Here's our website and
we want to click on CMS. We can either import a CSV
file to have a CMS collection, or we can add a blog. In here, we have
different topics. As an example, we have
five different blogs here. Here on the left, we
have the collections itself that I was talking
about in the previous video. In the introduction, we can
add more CMS collections. If you have a higher
plan, you can add more. You can also have, for example, job listings, et cetera. You can use the CMS in all the different
kinds of situations. We'll just stick with
the blog we want to. On top here, we have the indicator that
this is indeed a CMS. Then we can add a new
item to the blog. We can edit the fields,
or we can import. Let's try and add new item. Here you enter your title, for example, space exploration. It automatically
generates a slug for you that you can of course
change if you want. For example, I changed
it to just space. Then we can dated, for example, today's
31st August. We can choose an image to
represent our blog post. We can set the
resolution and add an alternative text for
accessibility and SEO. Or we can choose one
from stock images. For example, I want
to search space, we can choose, for example, this one. Here we go. Now it's imported into the blog. Next, you want to actually
write the blog or paste it. If you're wrote it
somewhere else, you can stylize it. For example, I'll give it a
heading of space exploration. I can change the heading size just like a normal markdown. Let's choose this here, your actual block post would go. You can also link
something to the text. You can bold it, make it italic. You can also make it a code snippet and you can add a
bullet list. You can number it. You can add images, You can add video. You can also embed code HTML. For example, if you want
to embed a Youtube video, you can do that here. Yeah. Then once you're done, you click Safe in your blog post is right here, for example. We might want to go in here and look what
examples they have. Now that you can also
edit the fields, you can change the title, you can have a
placeholder text area. You can also change
the name of the date. Here's what we're modifying. For example, I don't
want this to be a date. I want this to be
date, for example. Or like date published,
something like that. It's all up to you.
Content can be changed. For example, blog posts right now that you
actually have the CMS. And we'll leave these
examples here for now. We want to go back and we have a separate
page called blog, and all of our blog
posts are here. Here's even the one we created, even though it is
controlled by CMS. You can double click in any of these and change the properties. It will take you straight there. You can even stylize it here. Changing one of the elements in the CMS will change all of them. In the blog post we have home, we have blog for example. I want to link this for example. I want to write blog post. I'll just leave it
like this for now. But we would modify it actually. Then I want to
link this to blog. When I preview this,
I scroll down. I click here and this
will take us to blogs. We'll load up the images. You can click into
any of these and look at the content who
took us back entirely. Just wanted to go back. You can click and read your
block post, just right here. Yeah, this is how you create your very own first
CMS collection. There are many, many possibilities of what
you can do with it. Have a higher plan, but it's
all pretty much the same. It's the same idea of you creating a blog or
for example, a job listing. And you just put in your values and write the content in here. I'll see in the next video.
17. Content Writing Made Easy: Now that we know how
to actually create your own blog collection, we want to fill it
up with, you know, not pre made writings, but something original and
something that belongs to us. Right? So we're going
to write, click, and delete all of these templates and
pre made blog posts. All right, we're going
to go to Chat PT. I'm going to give you
tips on how to write your very own blogs with
the help of Chat PT. You want to sign up if you don't have an account already or you want to log in like
I will in my case, you want to sign in and you
can use your e mail address. You can continue with Google, your Microsoft
account, or Apple. I'm going to continue
with Google. Let's look what
actually a GPT is. It's a large language
model based Chappot, developed by Open II and
launched in November 30, 2022. It pretty much gives
you the answer to anything, anything you ask for. Of course, it has some filters and bugs and it can
lag and hallucinate. Open AI says itself, it's important to note that
it might not always be factually correct because
it's knowledge cut off. Let's look together
is September 2021. It might be outdated, it doesn't even know about. It knows about Framer as a
prototyping tool like Figma, but it doesn't know
about Framer's. I, we're going to help it out and we're
going to let it help us. I have a blog, five log log posts,
about space exploration. One of them should be named
as space exploration. We need to be as specific
as possible when describing to Chad
GPT what we want. Because in the previous video, we created space exploration. I just wanted to
fill it out as well, the one name space exploration. The text is going to go in here. Let's see what it gives us. It types in pretty fast so we don't have to actually
wait that long. Let's see. It actually doesn't really have one that's only
name space exploration. I guess it just specifies further what it's
going to talk about, for example, unveiling
the cosmos beyond. These are short though I want to make them a little
longer just so they are maybe three to four
minute reads instead of one paragraph the blog posts three to
four minute reads, it will just type it more up. We can see it didn't
actually follow the prompt and it's
rewriting what it wrote. Because I'm really not sure if this section would be
a three minute read. Let's put it in a different way. I meant make each blog post. Here we go. We can see that
it's a longer, more specific. I actually like the
length of these, but now it just only wrote about one block post if
you'd like me to see, actually asking us if we
want the continuation with the rest of the block
post, let's say. Yes, I do. Sometimes it can freeze
up a little bit. Just let it think a little
bit and we'll get to go. We can see that it for two more. And I want to say
it's asking me again. I'll just make it
clear that, yes, extend each of the blog posts. We can actually see that
each of the blog posts is now 400, 500 words. Maybe this one is a
little just longer, just a 400 words. Now that we have this, let's actually look
at the content that it wrote about here. It's about unveiling
the cosmos beyond. Actually, instead of
looking through each one, we can ask for a summary. Provide me a quick summary
of each blog post. Let's look at the reviews
of the blog post. First one is about the profound impact
of space exploration, tracing its history and
highlighting its significance. Yeah, I like that, and I'm
going to go with that next. We have icons of
human ingenuity, celebrating the
visionaries who united humanity's journey to space. This post pays tribute to
figures like Udi Ga Guiden, Neil Armstrong. I like that. Then we have the topic of
quest for habitable worlds, for the understanding
of the universe, and potential for
extra terrestrial life and finding habitable
exoplanets. Next one is actually a little
bit of a controversial one. Or not controversial, that's talked about
a lot right now, travel and colonization
space missions to Mars. It's actually talking about space sexes ambitious projects. But because it's outdated, I don't think it actually
serve recent examples, but maybe the ones that
happened before 2021. The last one is
space exploration versus ethical considerations. Striking a delicate balance which is talking about
planetary protection and cultural preservation, maintaining the integrity
of celestial environments. I really like all of
these blog posts. Now that we have all the content that we need for our blog, we can actually
start putting it it. That's what we're going
to do in the next video.
18. Filling in Your Blog: Now that we actually have our
blog posts and our content, it's time to put
it in our website, the one that's called
space exploration. Let's just go and take the
very first blog post it. Let's make sure that we're
grabbing the right version, which is the extended version. We're going to take this, put this here, we're
going to copy this. Put this in here. We have our header. We
actually might want to, for example, to chat PT, say for blog post one. Since it is so long
divided into sections, I just want to show you
some formatting that you could do with chat
PT and framer. Let it wait and think a
little bit. Here we go. We have our sections of the blog now it would be
easier to digest. I feel like even in the current climate with
Tiktok and everything, I just pasted the
name of the section. I'm going to select it
and choose Heading to, for example, the
cosmic journey begins. We're actually going
to delete this. We have it all clean
and no repetitions. We will select heading
to paste this. You just go in and pat, well, actually you can do
it even easier and faster. So we have already two sections. We will paste the other ones. We'll delete the section part. Got an extra letter. We're just selecting each
of the section words, make sure there are no spaces. And then I could either
bold it by using the shortcut command on
Mac or control on Windows, or I'll just go in
and select heading two for each one. Here we go. We have our first blog post. We already have our photos. We have the date published. Let's change the slug to
be a little more specific. We didn't want to do that. We'll paste that in here. But we'll do space
exploration here. The slug is shorter,
it's already saved. That's all we need to
do. Now, if you go in, there's your blog post. You want to do this for every single blog post that
we created that you created. And let's actually do it. So add a new item. Let's ask Chachi Pet to divide, divide each of the blog posts into sections like
you did in this case. No need to ask me to continue. I want this for every
blog post that we have. So I try to be as specific
as possible so it doesn't stall and it just doesn't
wait for me to answer. But does everything in one go? I actually didn't
understand and only wrote for our second blog post, divide into sections, Blog post number 345. Let's just wait for it
to produce the results, Hopefully the ones that we want. So let's see if it actually
did it for every blog post. And yes, we can see 543
and we have two here. We already put in the first one. What we want to do is
click on Create New Item. Copy the title. Date published. Let's do the same.
Let's change the photo. Something related to space. Let's copy this blog here. Delete. Delete the Leave nothing behind that's not selecting for came
reason. Here, right go. Let's highlight the last section of this blog and we want
to see the changes. And we have one more blog you want to do this for every single blog that
you have created. To keep the video short, I'm only doing it for two, but hopefully now you
have the idea of how to do it and hopefully
implemented it. And I'll see you
in the next video.
19. Practice: Create Your Very Own Blog: Welcome to a new practice video. We actually want to put together everything that you have
learned in this chapter, the website we developed in the previous chapter
that we started out. Let me show you really
quickly, get learn. I want to have a blog that will describe the
courses that we have. I'm going to turn to
Chad GPT for help. Once we're in Chad GPT, we want to ask for help. We have a Unity, a creative coding, and a Spplying course that
I want to write about. In the blog I want to write, I am creating a blog at the courses that are
offered by our company. We are called Unity Learned. We offer online courses that are educational and are
all about innovation. So we're going to write for
Fate of Coding and Unity, we want three block posts. I want three block
posts on the topics. It makes it up
three block posts. It spline, it sometimes mixes it
up with the math term, spline the three D, Animation and Modeling
Software and creative coding. These block posts will be an introduction to the course and describe what awaits them. The learning outcome is specify, don't make them too long, and see what it comes up with. Here we go. Here
are our blog posts. These will need to be changed up according to our
actual courses, but this is a good
starting point. I want to add this to
our blog collection. Let's delete this one and add, we'll delete the template ones. Let's add a new item. Our title is Creativity with Unity
Game Development Course. Next, we'll take this in here. These are already bolded. That's how it copied it over. Let's, let's choose an image. So we'll choose this
photo as our cover. Now that we have our
first blog post, let's import the rest of them. Put in the title Date,
Search for an image. Then you want to paste this. See this time. For some reason it didn't
paste the paragraphs. Which is weird because it
did in this one, right? That was weird. I don't know
why that happened in here. And we'll write in
creative coding, maybe we'll just type in coding because it's
not really widespread. Well, I like this one better. Here we go. Now we want
to add this to our page. Here we have the blog. Let this just load in. I know why that didn't update. This is not what we want, so we need to add this. The reason why it's
not popping up here, we need to add a new page. Sorry, not here now. It has updated. There we go. This is horrendous. Nothing
is actually readable. So let's change this color to white to make this a little more great, a little more white. Sorry. Let's make
this white as well. This is much better. The other version was
really, really bad. Let's still at the block pages
that we're not using here. We also need to
change, let's see. Okay, so we have this, we'll go here, we'll
customize this. Change this to white, change
this to a little more white. The text is actually there, but it's so hard to read. I didn't actually notice it. That's why it's important
to choose good colors. I click Click on Content, Where, here we go. I go to Body. I go to Edit. This way, all of the body text throughout
the blogs will be changed without the
need to go into each page and change
the font or the color. Instead of these, I just
want to have one which will say blog and
we'll do our courses. Let's link this to blog. The reason I just
wanted to double check, this is the parent of these. When we link this, all of these elements inside of this box also link
to that blog page. Now if we actually preview this scroll down, click on Blog. Here we have our blog,
fully responsive, Perfect for your tablet and for your iphone as well
as your computer. Here we go. This was
our blog creation. Hopefully you got to
practice on your own. If not, you followed
our practice tutorial. And that's absolutely
fine as well. And I'll see you
in the next video.
20. Chapter Overview (CMS): So in this chapter, we
learned all about CMS, which stands for Content
Management System. As I'm sure you
already remember, we looked into blog creation, how to add a blog and
integrate your blog into your website that you
have created previously. And we have also looked
at ChatchPT's help and how we can create
blogs with ChachPT's aid. And we looked into how to import those into back into framer. And we also practiced by
creating our very own blog, and we practiced
that a little bit. And we customized
text and the fonts and actually came across a couple of problems that
were really confusing. But in the end we
managed to solve them. And hopefully you learned from those little hiccups as well. And I'll see you in the
next chapter where we dive into advanced in, and I'll see you in the next
chapter where we dive into advanced customization
which is basically effects, different sections,
headers, all of that, all of what you
were waiting for. Everything that is
customizable is about framer, Once you already have
your AI created website, these are the things
that really are going to hone down and make
your website unique. Of course, this is
not powered by AI, but it's good to know how to do these things
so you can customize your website by
yourself after you have your base template
created by AI. So I'll see you in
the next chapter.
21. Chapter Introduction (Advanced Cutomizations): Welcome to the next
chapter which is all about advanced
customizations. We'll look into creating customization with effect
sections, headers, and adding your own forms and media and all of that good stuff that we
will cover in this chapter. This will really help you create truly unique website and really tailor it to your own
needs and the way you want to create your
website. And we'll also not only look into using
each element separately, but also combining
everything together to create one cohesive thing. And we will also
practice this and add it to our website that we've been developing throughout
the course.
22. Why Customization Matters: So I want to go a
little in depth of why customization
actually matters and why it's important to
have your website customized and you tailoring your
elements to fit your needs. Tailoring sections and customizing
sections allows you to display the information in ways that aligns
with your goals. If you enhance your navigation, for example, customize
your header. It simplifies the process of navigating the website
to your visitor, thus improving the
user experience. Next, it reflects branding. If you have all of
your elements in a similar way and
designed similarly, it reflects your brand message and reinforces your brand image. Custom media forms
and interactivity actually makes it more
appealing to the visitor. It also optimizes functionality,
which aids usability, consistency and
professionalism boost users confidence and
finally drives interaction. Custom icons, patterns, and social integration
encourage engagement. So these are only a few reasons why customization
matters on your website. And hopefully you'll stick
around to watch our chapter and see how to truly tailor
your website to your needs. So I'll see you in
the next video.
23. Sections: This video will explore the
first customization that we're going to look
into, which is sections. Let's go into our
example website that we already
worked with before. What we're going to want
to do is go into Insert. Here we have our section
section under Basics. Here we have a bunch of section options that
we can choose from. All of these, of course, are click and drag as well. You can get this from
this or this from this. It doesn't really matter
which you choose. You can also create
it from scratch. Let's look from the top and
work ourselves to the bottom. At the very top, we
have our first option. Let's see, it's going to
insert at the very bottom. We can also change the position of it by just clicking
and dragging. For example, I put it up here, it is all clickable
and customizable. Here we have two buttons, we have some text. This is one of the
sections that we have. This is a very simple example, we can just move on. Next we have the same section, but just for the background, you can actually add an image. Let's add something from
unsplash, For example, this one here we have the same thing just with
an image background. If we go further, we have a few that are an image on the right
and some texts on the left, we have the complete opposite. The image is on the left, the text is on the right. One more that we have
is this one here. We have two images, we have some text here, and we have some text here here. It's actually promoting
the Figma plug in, which we will look into later. For example, we can
grab this and we can actually move this
around in this text box. You're actually free to
do anything you want, but it's actually
easier to choose a section that you
like from here. Let's look at a few more. For example, this one is two
images in a horizontal way. Here we have an
option for 46 images. Sorry, here it actually promotes
what we have on framer. Next we have some
irregular shapes, Double clicked, imported toys. Let's command Z and cancel. There we go. Here we have four placeholders for the
images and four text boxes. You can click into it and expand layers and customize
all of this. You can actually also. Next let's look at more. We have some that are
like cards like this. We could use also this
for, for example, our courses that we
promoted in one of our practices we can review, we can have many reviews here. We can customize the
width of each column. We can change the place
of this and this, and we can play
around like this. Next we have some reviews. Next we have a review
in a big section. We also have our contact form, which is essential for our
contact page, imported twice. Again, here you just
have name, e mail, and message, you can
directly contact us, as in the website. Next we have some pricings. We have an FAQ section that
you can also customize. You can go in here and customize
the FAQ section as well. You have this table. You can the question
and the answer here. You can change your question. Next we have our
trusted by section. You can just replace
these with a logo, Companies that trust in you
and show their support. Finally, we have a sign up today which is really similar to the very first
one that we looked at, which is right here. Actually, I think it is exactly the same. Just without the text. Yeah, it's pretty much all
basic small customizations. They're all similar. They all use and utilize
the same elements. But it's nice to see some
variety and see that everything is already prepped for I'll
see in the next video.
24. Navigation: We will look at navigation, which are basically
headers and footers, in this case they
call them top bars. Let's delete a few
sections that are left over from the previous lesson. It's a little less
messy. Here we go. We'll leave the blog.
I'll leave this one. I like the image. We go to insert and we
go into navigation. We select a top bar
that we want to use has actually put
it at the very bottom, so we want to drag it up
and put it at the very top. On the left we have the
logo and on the right we have the about contact
and sign up section. It's actually preview this. Here it does. At the very top, you can see these
buttons in the logo. Of course, you can
customize it again. You can click in, you
can see there are multiple options for
different use cases we want to click into here. Here we can actually
change everything without letting it be out of date
and stay updated here. Instead of text, we
could put our logo here. We can actually link this
stuff to, for example, like about and contact, but we do not have
those pages right now. Let's go back to navigation. We actually looked at
the black version here. There's also a white version. There's also a logo version. If you click on it
to the very bottom. Let's take it to the top.
Delete the first one, Click into it. Here we go. We can change out
the image here. We can actually add more
components, as many as we want. Actually, the reason
why I'm saying you can achieve anything from any template is because
if we click on Desktop, we go on the right. You know how there are two
versions of black and white. You can actually go in here
and change the color from here and get the same
result like the last one. If we click here and
match it, here we go. We'd need to change
this text out here, It's readable, actually even
do that. Let's click here. Choose the color. We're going to have to do
it for every single one. I'm going to shift,
select all of them and change the
color altogether. I would of course,
use this black if my logo was
white or colorful. In this case, we
would actually use a white one or brighter one that meets the
contrast requirements. Now let's look at the footer. Let's click here. Let's
see where imported. Here we go. I'll actually
drag it over here. No, that's not
what I want to do. That's like this. And
click Insert. Here we go. This way, the desktop
version is going to be primary and then we're going to optimize for the rest of them. Here we can see all
the different pages you would want or
you could create, and none of these are
linked at the moment, But if you click in, then click in again, and you can link all of these out here. Similarly with the white footer, the only difference
is the color and not the actual functionality
of the template. Now that we have cleared up below bit the hitters
and the footers, it's now time to
move on to pages.
25. Pages: Looked into navigation. Let's actually move
on to whole pages. This is how you can literally create a page in just one click. I clicked on the very first
one without explaining. I know that. But here we
have the landing page. Quick and easy, you have all you would need
for most websites. We have the image
placeholder in the middle. We have a button, some text. We have the trusted logos. We have a couple of
sections that would direct you deeper
into the website. We have our FAQ section where you can change
out the elements. We have the prong to sign up today with our simple footer. What I notice here is there is no header which is a minus, which I would
recommend adding one. After you have
explored the pages, just add a header into this one. If you decide to use this page, this is all optimized and
the design is responsive. Let's look at a few more pages. There are quite a lot of
options for us to look at. I'm not going to go into very
detail of every single one, because I want you
to also explore it on your own and play
around with it. And you already know that we can customize everything,
Change the fonts, the logos, the colors, and change the images honestly. That's pretty much
all you need to know. Here we have a portfolio page where you can display
your project. You can see the pages
that we add are all in here in the
Pages section. Next, let's look at the teaser. This is just like a promo, a little stay tuned and sign up, you put in your e mail. And here's a little teaser. It could be a video
or like a photo. It could be anything. You want a blog. We're already
familiar with blogs. You can also add one here. You can add a
separate blog article without the blog collection. If you want, we can add a sidebar which is basically
a side bard header. We have different kinds
of projects here, prompting us to view more. After the sidebar, we
have our project page, which is pretty similar to the other ones that
we already looked at. We also have a blank page. Let's see if it loads right. Blank page just for your
creations. Let's preview it. Here we have a
full long carousel that you can play around with. We also have an image blog here, which is pretty much like
an image documentary diary. We have a four page classic. Just to have a broken link, if you have somewhere
the visitor doesn't want to be redirected, you just put this in. Next, we have some portfolios. We have a Coming
Soon teaser page. We have again, an introduction. Most of these are for
personal use, for blogs, but you can also
always change it to a work thing and be more professional rather
than casual on here. But it's all up to you. You can change up even your
pages however you want. You can drag this here, drag this around, and
see what happens. I know it's not as flexible, but it is in some ways when you really look at it, try around, play around with stuff and
see if you like it and just give it a good shot because it can create such good results. I would just give it a little time and see what
happens and just keep using Framer in the meanwhile because you never
know what's going to happen and what
task you will have. Yeah, this was pages. Feel free to customize
and look around it. I will see you in
the next video.
26. Media: Now we'll look into media here. I know it can be a
little overwhelming, but all of these are
pretty much similar. Let's first look at these
subcategories in media. You can import an image, a video in animation, or audiom. Let's start with a simple image. We'll click on Iff and
drag it onto our section. And you can see that it
has added itself onto the section we want to
click into it in surge Gif. After you import the
Gif as a medium, you can click on it and you will have a Surge button here. You can just type
in what you want. It will give just that
look how cute this is. Every time you search it up, it's going to be different. I deleted it. I'll
type in cat again. It's going to be a
completely different image. I'm sorry, this is too cute
to not get distracted. We'll leave it there. Let's go and look at the
next form. We have videos. We can either import
a video straight from our laptop or import a video using frame from
Youtube or import from Vimeo. Let's click on Youtube
because no one uses Vimeo. Here we have the player. We had to have an
example link here. We can turn on and
off the auto play. For example, I looped it. We can either mute or unmute and decide on the color
of the player. We also can have some borders. Let's click Publish. Let's select all of these
command X them. So cut. I will post all of these
onto the page here. We just have an
example I have pasted. And now we can preview these. At the very bottom of the page, you can see that the Jeff
is playing right away. We can play the
Mayo integration. I am not sure what happened
to the Instagram one here because it is
a little bit key. It's always double
check that the Wi works and everything would load. Next, let's look
at the animations. Let's click on Lotti. Lotti are basically
quick animations that are really low cost. Are really not using up almost any of the optimization from the laptop or the desktop, and it is actually very light. After we imported the lot, We can select the link that
we are getting the lot from. We have the playing
instruction, the source. Upload it, and you
can see the lottie is playing just fine. We
have the direction. Next let's look at the audio. Here you have a bunch of different options
you can choose from, from Spotify to Apple
Music to Apple podcast, Sound Cloud, Simple Cast, and simple P three that you
can import from your laptop. These are all the media
options for this for framer, I'll see in the next video.
27. Forms: In this video, let's look
at forms as elements. First, let's look into input. We can add an input. This way a visitor of the website can type
in your e mail. For example, click on Subscribe. Now we have their information,
we can double click. We can use a different service
for the input from loops, form Spark mail, chimp,
and get weight less. We can also redirect the visitor once they
have hit subscribe. We can also change
the word for this. Let's look at the
rest of the forms. These are all just
the same forms just for different services. For example, let's look at
type form and calendly. In calendly, you can connect your calendly account and you can book an appointment
on type form. You can fill out a type form
directly on your website. That's it for forms and I'll
see you in the next video.
28. Icons: Next let's look at icons. Here we have a bunch of different icons that you
can use to customize your website and add some custom illustrations to
add a little bit of flare. For example, let's
look at humans. It will take a little to import and if we
double click in it, we can actually
customize it right here, which is pretty amazing. You can change the stance, you can change the body, It is absolutely great. You can change the
direction here, you can change the
skin color here. It is all very customizable just if you're looking
for a quick human icon. Next let's go into Twinmoi, have actually emoji
icons all in one place. We can search for an emoji here, we can just p it just like this. Let's search for it and it will give us the equivalent
icon into emoji. Next let's move on to Mogi. You have different,
actually all of the variants of Mogi you can
completely customize it. And you can keep
looking through and find really exactly what
you're looking for. You can change the
radius of the circle. You can rotate the face. You can change the character, and you can change
the background color. Next, let's go into Feather. In this one, if we click in it, we have a big, big list of icons
that we can use. For example, Wi
Fi and it changes to Wi Fi. You can mirror it. Nothing will happen
because it's not like a mirrorable icon here. If we actually
want to mirror it, you can also change the
color of your icon. Next, let's look at Hero. Here we have just
a different list of many different icons. Here we have the Wi Fi icon, again, is just a
little bit different. You can choose
whichever you want for your liking of them will cross over and
have the same thing. For example, this
one has a house as well that is different
from this one. You really just need to look
at the style that you want and decide what kind of icon you actually want
to use for your website. Let's look at the last two. I'll actually not change it, so we can see the difference. Here we have the list again, just different styles of icons. The last one phosphor, this one is a little
more rounded again, we have our list
just right here. This was our exploration
of many different icons. There are really
some funky ones, you know, funny ones. And you can customize
it however you want. You can add it to your
website just by dragging, and it will add magically here. You can click and
drag and position it anywhere on the page I'll
see in the next video.
29. Interactives: Onto Interactive. For example, let's look at the search bar. We just click and drag it
anywhere on the website To add it here we have
the search button. It's actually small. Let's take it somewhere where
it's a little more visible. Let's take it to the top. Let's take it up here first. Let's insert it,
for example, here. And reduce the padding so it's
a little more integrated. If we scroll down,
click on the search. You can search your
website this way. Let's look into ticker. We just drag it anywhere
on our website, we click into it,
click into it twice, and we can select
our children here. It's just going to be rotating
between all of these. For example, I chose Material
on Feather and Hero. Let's actually see
what this does, as you can see infinitely loops between all of these icons. And it's a really nice pad, so it looks natural. Let's go back and I'll show
you how to customize this. We double click in here. We can change the
speed of the rotation. We can change the direction. We can align it to the left
center, or to the right. We can make this broader here, it's covering the entire page. We can add a higher gap. Actually change the
direction here, line it to the center. You can change the padding,
which I don't want to do. We can select the
sizing of the objects. We can stretch it out, or we can leave it at auto. We can also choose the clipping. That's the nice pad
that's being added. And I want to leave it like
that on hover, for example. I want to slow it down. Let's see what this does. As you can see on Hover, your icons slow down. This is really cool to show off your logos just to showcase
something that you want. It infinitely will loop. I think it looks really nice. Let's move on. Let's
look at slide show here. It operates in the same way. We choose the content. For example, humans phosphor. Let's choose a
third one, feather. Let's look at what it does. If you click here, we'll actually rotate between all of these with a nice animation. Let me show you how
to customize this. We can choose the direction, We can select autoplay, change the interval of autoplay, how often it changes out. We can choose if the
image is draggable, When it's like a Jpeg or a PNG, sometimes on a website, your image drags out
and I find it annoying. I will say no. You can
also change the capacity, the scale, and the
perspective, and rotate it. You can align to the top, to the center, and the bottom. You can select the number of
displayed items at one time. You can select the gap, for example, if there are
two, you can select the gap. You can add or remove padding, you can change the radius, you can change the transition at which they are transitioning. You can completely customize. And you can preview
the animation here, which is quite amazing
in my opinion. You can see a huge difference. You can select the stiffness and the damping and
you can see the curve. You can actually see
the animation here, which is extremely
convenient if you're not familiar with
animations at all. You can add a delay, but
we're not going to do that. Let's see what our
animation did. It looks horrible, but that was just for
demonstration purposes. Next, let's look at Carol, which is honestly similar. Let's import it here. That will click Select Content. Here we go. Are we sure
that this is a Sol? I'm not sure that this is a Sol. Here we go, This is a Sol. Let's delete this.
Let's preview this. Here's the Sol because
it's not filled up. It's not really doing anything to add a couple more objects. So we can see its
functionality to click here, we can see the animation
and everything. So here we go. These
were our interactions. Really fun stuff to
play around with. And if you know what
you want to do, it's really nice and easy to achieve stuff just by
using these tools. And I'll see you
in the next video.
30. Social: Let's look at the socials. Here we have all kinds
of social media, Instagram, Facebook,
Twitter, Google Maps, trustpilot and tag and bed. Let's start with Instagram. Let's see, you can add a
link to an Instagram post, and here you have the Instagram
post on your website. It's as easy as that. Next, let's look at Facebook. This one operates
in the same way. Unfortunately, the link
here is unavailable. But here you just import the link and it would
display your Facebook post. Next, let's look at Twitter, which is going to
be the same thing. Is just going to
display the tweet. Although it's not
Twitter anymore but X, but the link still works. But anyway, let's move on
to move on to Google Maps. This might be
actually more useful than the ones we
looked at previously. You can just import
your coordinates. It will display that location. Right now it is displaying
some place in Amsterdam. You can scale it up, it will just expand the map
for you as much as you want. On the top left, you
have the coordinates. Yeah, this is pretty
amazing in my opinion. Then we move on. Let's go to trustpilot. You need to have an account with trustpilot and a business
ID for it to work. Last but not least, let's look at tag and bed. Let's look together
what tag and bet is. It lets you actually import
feeds like from Instagram and from Facebook and all of different social
media very easily. Here we have all of
the integrations. We don't even have Framer on this list because Framer is
not that popular, apparently. Yeah, this was the social step, and I'll see in the next video.
31. Utilities: Let's look at utility. Here we have a bunch
of different options, utility options to
add to our website. Let's start with lemon squeezes. Import it anywhere we
have our by now button, we can actually have a
link to lemon squeeze. And we change the
style of the button. We can, we can choose the font and we can choose
an effect on hover. Next let's look at Gum Road. Road is a great marketplace if you're looking for templates, if you're looking for
different fonts, effects, overlays, you can actually
link your product here. We can add a code block
directly on your website. We put in the code here. We can choose the
language to format it in. We can choose if you
wanted static or dynamic, we can choose a theme, we can choose the font again, and the font color, the
borders and the padding. We can also embed content
using the embed option. You can add it here using a Uro, or you can add your
HTML code right here. For example, you want to embed not using Youtube video embed, but using e frame. For example, if you want
to import a tube short, this might be a better
option for it to work. This is the option you use. Next, we have our copy
clipboard and download buttons. We can write what content gets copied when you
click the button, which is honestly pretty cool. For example, if you
have a bunch of code you don't want
people selecting, you can just have
this at the bottom. You can paste this code
in into this button. When you click on
it, this exact thing is going to be copied, which is pretty amazing. Next, let's look at
the download button. You can choose a file that
will be downloaded here, or you can insert a
URL, for example, PDF. You can also, in any of these, customize your font,
icon, and style. Let's move on to Open table. I do not have an
open table account, but you can have reservations
made using this. Next we have product hunt, the fork event, all of these. If you're using them, these
could be super useful. But because I don't, I don't
really find them useful. But on product, you can select a product that
will be displayed here. Let's quickly look at
the fork and event. You can reserve a
table using the fork. Have the customers reserve a table using your,
the fork account. You can also, you buy tickets from Event Bright if you
are selling tickets. Let's finally look
at sticky and logo. Sticky. You can have
sticky notes and logo. You can insert your logo and
it's just an image honestly, but it is a logo. And you can choose
the company name, the radius on sticky notes. When you go live, people can actually write their notes here. It's not working right
now, I'm not sure why. Maybe if we put it
on an actual page. Let's see, Now let's go live. Hm, I'm not sure why
this is not working. Uh, you can just, you know, add it as a sticky note, as a decoration to your
website, never mind. Sorry for almost misinforming
you, I apologize. Yeah. These were all utilities
and now it's time for us to experiment with all of these elements in customization.
32. Putting it All Together: Time to actually put
them all together. Let's go back to the
dashboard and start with, let's create a
quick new website. For example, it's going to be
about a marketing company. It's Extorial Design. Actually, let's do
a surf shop that specializes in all kinds of different surf sports, from wave to wind surf to cite surf and win foil, make it colorful and vibrant
but maintain a surfer. Let's see what it comes up with. It's a nice refresher
for us too, now that it's done generating, let's actually look through it. First thing I see it's random background
image that apparently, I don't think it
could generate it. That's weird that it did that. Here we can see that
for kite surfing, actually put in kits that are not related
to kite surfing. In windsurfing, it put wake
boarding in normal surf, It put normal surf probably because it's more widespread
than anything else, but that's not really the point. Let's look at elements
that we could add to customize page. First, I want to insert a
navigation bar at the very top. I think I want to add this one. Let's just drag it up. Let's click into it here. I want to add home on. I'm going to go to Icons, I'm going to go to Hero. Here we have a little icon, let's make it blue, it matches the vibe. Let's make it a little smaller, Let's put it on the left. Let the logo, we don't have
a logo and we want to link, I don't think we actually can link this icon to our
home page like I want it to. Let's scrap that, but
we have our header now, let's go back. Let's put our logo,
remove our icon. Let's go back to our home page. Let's, for example, let's insert a Youtube video about surfing. I want to insert
it to make this, make it the whole page wide. Let's go on Youtube. Let's go on Youtube
and search video. Let's just copy this link
and import it just here. Let's turn on auto play. Now when we preview it, we have our header here. We have our video just
here. Let's go back. Let's add something else. Let's, for example,
add a contact form. Let's add a form. I want to add a type form. Well, now I want
to add calendly. For example, if the shop has some events that it's hosting, then it can show
them right here. You can choose calendly
account to connect. But let's also go to our pages. Let's go to our sections. Scroll down, let's add
contact form here. The customer can stay
in touch if they want. You can customize
this and choose all the different colors
to fit your color palette. Yeah, here we just mixed a couple of elements to
spice up your website. You can obviously add elements according to your needs and the way you want
to customize it, but this was just
a little example to get you off started. I'll see you in the next video.
33. Practice: Use Any Element: In this practice, we
will use two elements to enhance our website that we have been creating
throughout the course. Let's go into our website. Let's see. Main thing that it's missing for
sure is a header. I keep calling it header, but it's actually
called a top bar here. I will go in and
import, for example, this one just clicking
and dragging it in. Let's double click to go in. Let's type in Get Learn here. And we don't really
have other pages. I'll just remove this
or I can leave this. For example, I did forget
that we have a blog, I think. I'll just remove these
and leave blog here. I'll link this to blog. Let's not make it blue. It's already clear
that it's a button. Here's our first element. If we preview this
can click on Blog, and our blog shows up. So not happy with the thing that happens
when you click on it. Click on Let's click
on Link and on Hover. We could make it a little gray, nothing less, No underline. Do not want that.
Let's preview it now. You can see it becomes gray. Here we go. Let's go back. This is our first element. What's happening? I have no idea what's
happening right now. Go back to home. I think we are stuck. So let's reload. It did save our top bar. As for second element, let's see, I want to actually
add our Youtube video. Let's add it just here. We add it into the section. Let's cut this and
put it up here. Actually, it's a smaller bit. So we can, Let's remove this. Actually, I want to make
this side. Let's click in. We have our Youtube video. Let's actually optimize
this for other platforms. This smaller, make this
smaller, make this white. And make this white as well. It changes here, make this
smaller, it fits horizontally. And put it down like
this. Here we go. I mainly want to focus on the
Dextop version right now. If we preview this, we
have our video right here. A couple of things I
want to change is I want to put in our video. Let's type in, let's copy this, Link it in here. Turn on Autoplay. Perfect. It cuts off
a little bit here. We might want to adjust that, but you know that's details
and you could fix it later. But the main point
was I wanted to add a video and a header
to my web page, and we successfully did that. That was our practice. Hopefully you
enjoyed this chapter and you tried it
out for yourself, or you followed along
with this practice. And hopefully you
learned something. I'll see you in the next video.
34. Chapter Overview (Advanced Cutomizations): This chapter, we looked into advanced customization
and using elements to, you know, customize your
website to really your needs. We looked into headers, we looked into footers, and we looked into a bunch of different integrations
with forms, Google Maps, how to add icons, how to add little cursels, little animations
to your website. And I think it's been really fun and you can really
customize your website. For example, like the
logo scrolling thing is one of my favorite ones. It's just so easy to do, but when I look at
different websites, when I'm browsing the web
and I see it and I'm like, how did they do it?
But with Framer, it's actually so easy. And it might not be
that easy, you know, with different
platforms like what flows wicks or square space. And doing animations
like that is kind of harder or like the
animation curve. And the animation example how exactly your animation
will behave with elements. And just to give you
a general idea of the animation is
actually amazing. And I haven't really seen
it anywhere else before, not in web designers at least. And I find it really, really useful when
you're trying to, you know, tone down
that animation. But you don't know what's off. And you keep trying to change the numbers, but
it doesn't work. So this way it's actually
visible and you can get the effect right on just
by looking and tweaking. So now was this chapter, and we actually added a
couple of elements to our website that we've been developing
throughout the course. And I don't know if
you're doing the same, if you're developing one
website or if you're, you know, creating a bunch of different ones for
each practice. But hopefully it's been useful and it's been
fun for you and that you are learning
something new and it's actually simplifying the
process for you a little bit. So I'll see you in
the next chapter where we will be exploring the nitty gritty stuff of
framer like pitch settings. You know, it might be boring. Like you might say that
all is kind of boring. But you know, it's the stuff
that we actually need to know to utilize the website
to its full potential. And, you know, some
settings are essential to know when you're
creating your own website. So we'll look at that in the next chapter.
I'll see you there.
35. Chapter Introduction (Nitty Gritty): So welcome to our
next chapter which is the nitty gritty of framer, which is basically just
standing for, you know, details of framer that you might not want to look at at first. Because you're just
like, oh, there's AI. There's like, you know, an
AI creating my website that, you know, oh, why do
I need page settings? But it's actually really
important to look at them. And we'll just go into detail
what you can do in there, what some sort of
functionalities are in there, and also some
miscellaneous stuff using actions to simplify the process of development and
speeding it up. And also we will look at the
Figma plug in for Framer. It's actually really useful and because Framer used
to be a prototyping tool, it's actually really interesting to look into the integration. So we'll look into, we'll choose some
prototype in Figma and try to import it on Framer. So I'll see you in
the next video.
36. Explore the Page and Site Settings: Now let's explore the
page and site settings, which is right here. Here you can see a bunch
of different things. On the left, we have
first site settings and then page settings. Let's start off
with site settings. We can go into general is where we can change
the site title, set the site language. We can also add a site description
which will aid our SEO. We can disable transform
and layout animations if the user prefers to reduce
motion for accessibility. This is where we
can also unpublish our website from all domains. Because we haven't
published this, There's nothing to unpublish. This is where you
also add a Favicon. This little thing
is called Favicon. You can see it's
framers one right now. Also when you're sharing
for example a link to site, this image would pop
up, for example, on Discord, like the image pops up when you send a
link off the website. So you can set it custom
set it right here. You can add a
password protection to your website if you want, which is on a higher plan. We also have some advanced
settings like Canonical Ural. You can connect your Google
Analytics ID to track your, to track your
website's performance. You can also add custom code
and scripts to your website. You can add some
start of head tag. End of head tag before. At the start of body tag. At the end of body tag. This is actually if you want to get into advanced
stuff with Framer, you can add your own code. Next, let's look at the domains. Our base domain right now would be Creative
Coding courses. Framer, I mean, I
could change it to like Yeti Learn Framer Ai. And we could publish it at that. Let's actually do
it. We can see that it is now live at Yetiarnframi. You can see that the website
is published and optimized. We can also add a custom domain. If we upgrade, we can
actually add a custom domain. We can also add redirects. Instead of creating a new page, if you want to just redirect, Instead of creating a
new page and being like, okay, this is the new page, you can redirect your
old URL to new Url. We also have staging
and versions. This is how you keep
track of backups. For example, if you
enable staging, you can actually select a version for your website
that you want published. Here we have different versions. Right now we only have one, which is stage and live. Next we can go into analytics
of the website and you can see the number of
unique visitors and total page views and you
can see the duration. Normally, if we had any viewers, this would be like an
up and down line graph. But right now, because
we just published it, we do not have any. We can also see the top sources
of visitors from Google, Twitter, Facebook,
Linton, or Framer. These will update depending on where the visitors
are coming from. We can also see our top pages
that are performing well. If we go into plans, this is actually
where you can upgrade your website and upgrade your personal website
or make it a team plan. Next, if we go to
homepage settings, you can change the
title of the home page, the slug, the URL, But it is the home page,
so you're not changing it. You can add a page description. You can also add a search
in search engines. This will show up if
you search it up or you can disable that here again, you can add a page
image instead of the site image and also
add some custom code. The settings are pretty much the same for
all of your pages. Yeah, these were the
page and site settings. Hopefully you have a little bit of a clear
understanding of these. I'll see you in the next video.
37. Using Actions: Into actions to simplify
your creation process. As you can see, these are just shortcuts to do stuff for you. For example, you can type
to browse pages or search. For example, we can
create a section. Some of the actions
you can actually take are create a web page, Create with AI,
create a component, you can publish your website. From here, you can
open the website, You can see the version of history or invite collaborators. Or you can browse
the team library. I want to visit our blog page. If I put in a slash, we can see the blog
pages, for example. If I go into blog pages, it takes me to this blog. If I put in, it
takes me to blogs. All of the blogs that
we wrote previously. Honestly, I don't
think this is very functional or something
that is popular. I just wanted to show
you it because it is there and it could
be used if you want. Honestly, everything
is designed in such a user experience
friendly way that I didn't actually think of using it until I started
creating this course. And as something that
I should talk about. Yeah, this is here, for
example, version history. That could be useful because I'm not sure where to find that. I can see all of the changes that were made
to the blog, for example. Like 3 hours ago the
blog page wasn't there, now it is here. We changed stuff
from this to this. You can actually
see the changes, which is pretty amazing. You can actually go
back to this version, but by selecting and copying layers and pasting them in here. Yeah, this was a short
video about actions. Let me know, please, if you find this useful, I'm actually curious to hear your ways of how maybe you
find use cases for this. But honestly, I would just
rather go into settings or go into insert and do everything myself because it's literally just two clicks away. Yeah, I'll see in
the next video.
38. Figma Plugin: In this tutorial,
we'll look into Figma integration with Framer. Let's click on Get
the Figma plug in. Let's click on Try it Out. Let's log in with Framer. Let's click on Try it Out again. Let's go find an example website that we might want to
import. Let's turn it on. Let's select a layer to copy. We selected a layer, now we copy to clipboard. Now we just create a
design new website. We paste, here it
is, As easy as that. You can see at the bottom
that it's uploading from Figma and you can see
our layer is just here. Let's actually
select another page. Let's select the home page. Let's copy this
copy to clipboard. Now we just paste it. You can see that all of these elements are
fully customizable. You just import it, a prototype, into a fully
functioning website in just 10 seconds. It's all clickable. You
can choose an image, you can change your text,
customize your elements. All of these elements
are separate. Just like Figma, you
can change the shapes. None of these are
just like images, but these are actually
elements that you can change. Yeah, this is pretty amazing. And then you can
click on Publish. Let's preview it. Here
you have a fully, I know why I can't scroll. Let's go back for a second. It can take a few tweaks
for it to be amazing. For example, this is not a form, so we would have to switch
it out to a real form. Going into insert forms and
adding one of the forms here, adding a section here. But yeah, this is actually
amazing in my opinion. Let's go to the website
and check it out. The desktop is here. We want to take this and
drag it into here. 1 second. We're almost there
to try it out a little more just to
fit our entire page. Let's see, I think this is good. Now, if we go to the website, now we need to first updated
and then go to the page. Now we have our Figma design. These got messed up a little bit in our framer and it's a
fully functioning website. Yeah, this is pretty amazing. Here you go. Yeah. Just stretched out.
It's no big deal. Can make it smaller.
Put it here. Here we go. This is how you integrate your
figma with Framer. I'll see you in the next video.
39. Sell Framer Templates Part 1: Familiarize ourselves
with Framer. And how to do things in Framer. How to create your own website. How to even import your
prototype from Figma. How to customize your
website in advanced ways. How to really add, for example, an image, a video, a carousel, all of those things. How to animate and
how to add lot files. You learned what lot file is, how to create your own blog. All of this knowledge
that you have now. Yeah, you might be wondering, what do I do with all
of this knowledge now? How can I apply it? Web design is really
big right now and it's getting only
bigger day by day. A lot of people
design templates. Here I want to show you the
template section first. Here we have a lot search
button for the template or you can scroll down and here we have different
categories of templates. There's a free one staff fix artificial
intelligence agency, blog brand guidelines, business change log e
commerce, et cetera. There are many different ones. Let's look through a few
of pre website templates. Let's, for example, open a
few in different genres. So this is like game
three D modeling. This one's very corporate style. Let's also open one for a photography portfolio.
Let's scroll down. Here are a few pad ones and we'll look at
those a little later. Let's look at the very first
one, the game like one. Let's see, it's very modern. Much a tablet, maybe. Friendly design. Or iphone as well. Like any phone, honestly. Here we have different
configurations of the website. Let's, we have just different
three D model characters. Let's see, it's a NFT
Collection website. We can preview it. Actually,
let's go to the website. Let's see, we have a message
button, a Twitter button. We have the menu, and that takes us down here. Here we have a nice
little animation. We have their Instagram, and we have mail
benefit for holders, a couple of text blocks,
some attributes. The road map FAQ section
with a little animation, really like this font. Meet the team. We
have the footer. This is very nicely made. All of these links work and take us to the different
sections of the website. Here we have a little
description of the website. We have the actual
features that are used, scroll effects, textiles,
breakpoints and scroll targets. You can actually learn about
each one right in here, there's no gate keeping
in frame of community. This is officially confirmed. If you go into the template, they literally tell
you what they use. So you can actually try and recreate this effect
for your own website. You can actually
learn as well and not actually just wonder
how did they do that. You can even contact the
creator of the template, I've switched to a new one, like we've had
enough of that one. We have the list of pages
here, again, the description. We can report this template. We can look at how
templates work. It's a beginner start
off for anyone. We actually can
sell our template. That's what we're
looking at right now. Let's look at this one. We can preview it as well. Just a little inspiration for
what I'm about to explain. I know I haven't said much, but here you can scroll down. Here are some animations.
This is very nice. We can click on this, there's a little
animation as well. These are really nice. Here we have a little more like some icons,
some wait list. Let's go up, can scroll
down to benefits. Let's look at the last one, a photography portfolio
grade portfolio website for an agency or if you're a creative individual
or a professional. Instead of looking
at the photos, let's preview it again. I can see these are
really nice photos, some really different work cases showing the variety of photos. If we click on them, we actually go to the photo. And a detailed photo, a detailed information of
the photo when it was taken. Timeline, the role we
can visit the website, this is pretty amazing. We can see a few more shots, some detailed shots
of the photo. We can see here, we can
go back to the home page. We can go to these links. This is pretty amazing. Each of these you can see, note how detailed
this template is like they went and wrote this text. But this is just a template. It's probably AI generated. But it's still like
the effort is there. It's not just like
some lom ipsen text. It's actually made
up a story for the template which gives a little bit of life to
the template itself. I'm actually curious
about this one. A popcorn company here. Look at that. A nice photo. Why am I telling you and showing you all of
these templates? Well, because you
can actually create your own templates with
framer and sell them. You could give them
out for free as well. You can actually earn money still by making your
templates for free. You get an affiliate link and you get some
money off of that. But you can see that the templates are
here on sale as well. And they're ranging
all the way from $40 $20 to $100 If you want to look what it has to offer
for $100 let's see. You can click here and it takes us to a blog that we know
actually how to create. Let's go back. Let's see,
there's some documentation. Takes us nowhere, Get started, Takes us to the pricing. And if we click here, there's
some very nice animation. You can see this, we have literally learned. And this is literally just
click and drag, right? You know exactly how to create
this. Let's see what else. These are some dropdown
menu. This is really nice. The arrow animations, pop
outs here and some icons. But this is very easy to add. You can look at this
and be like, okay, okay, this might be a little challenging, but it's doable, and this is $100 We can recreate this with what you learned, with what you learned. And you can experiment
with, let's go in. And you can actually
still scroll down and see what they have used and learn for yourself what they have used and
recreate this template. What I'm trying
to say is you can make money by
creating templates. How do you actually
make a template? We watch this entire course. You learn how to do
website design and framer. Now you go into templates. You scroll down, That was a
little too much. Oh my god. There's a become
template creator. You can click on Submit
a Template here. First you need a purchase link from Lemon Squeeze or Gum Road. Let's look at lemon
squeeze first. Both of these are platforms where you can sell
your stuff on. Let's click on Get
Started for free, You just sign up here. Let's sign up. After you have signed up, you will receive a
confirmation e mail. After that, the link in there
will take you to this page. It says, Welcome
a board partner. Now create your store. Let's give our store a name. For example, Crafts. I want our store L
to be Es Crafts. Craft. I can't tell you. Why not? Let's select Our Country Turkey, and click on Create My Store. The store Ul has been taken. I will do what everyone does
and add another letter. You're now inside of your store. You need to complete a couple of steps to get your
store up and running. We need to add a
logo contact e mail, and we need to enable live
payments and all features. You can do that
in your own time. I just wanted to show you how to sign up and actually sign in. You need to add your logo, you need to change some stuff, but you shouldn't
take that long.
40. Sell Framer Templates Part 2: So now that we explored a
little bit lemon squeeze, I actually want to
show you Gum Road. I love Com Road myself. There are many, many
useful resources. And we looked at Gum Road
a little bit when we were looking at insource and
advanced customization. And I think it is a
great marketplace. First I'll click
on Start Selling. And once you're in,
you have your account. And I love the web
design of Gum Road. And here I have some stuff
that I have downloaded before. Let's see, I can actually
have my own products. We look at the design here. The color is just great. Has some encouraging texts
as well. I love Gum Road. I promise this is not an ad, but your first product
doesn't need to be perfect. Just put it out there
and see if it sticks. So we want to click on new
product and that would be a digital product because we're going to
sell our template. We need the name of the product. This will be template, make some selections,
fill some boxes, and go live in minutes. My first template
digital product. Let's select the price. It's my first sever template, so let's make it nine bucks. I don't think that's that bad. Let's click on next. Here we have some more
stuff to fill out. The name is still editable. You can add a description. Here is my first
Cramer template. See on their right it
is updating live as I'm typing. Enjoy it. We can write for example, it is our template for digital product
services not like Gum Road, but for example, we're
selling online courses. This template is all about online courses and
their introduction. So they are not selling digital
goods by promoting them. This template will offer you your company exposure and
attention in the cyber space. You can write whatever
you want, it's gums. Rewrite this entire description
with the help of chat. You can also make it
spicy by adding an image. Inserting a button, you
can answer some text, you know, hello world, you know. Let's type in Youtube.com
You can add a button. So here you click on at
a very pretty button. This will take you to
Youtube.com and here we can customize the URL. My first template, this is
the store number, I think. I'm not sure if
you can change it, but you can double check. You can change the cover. This will go in here.
This, for example, will be the template screenshot. You know, the the main
page, the home page, and top home page. That
would be your cover. My recommendation
in this thumb mail. Maybe it could be a framer
logo or whatever you like, product info. Call to action. You can have different
calls to action. I would keep it. I
want this summary. You'll get a very nice put here. We have additional
details where you can add attributes and values. For example, you know, this can even be this description of
stuff he used in framer. Like in the template, you scroll effect
was one of them. You can add al ah, you
can see on the right. So on the right you can see scroll effect and
you can add any value to it, MA, pop up effect,
insane and stuff. You know, you can have
form of it, in my opinion. You can invite your
customers to circle community or a discord server. We don't have a circle
community anymore, that's not applicable, or
they can pay what they want. We can add a suggested amount and a minimum amount
that we can change. In the previous page, we can offer variations
of the product. If you have, for example, a template in different
color schemes, maybe you could do that. But they can take it in the
framer and change it anyway. But that's really up to you in your imagination and we
can change the quantity, but it's a digital
product, maybe. Don't do that. And
additional amount, how much it costs to have this add on or
a different version. Here we have some settings
we can limit product sales, allow customers to
choose a quantity, show the number of
sales, a unique license, key, per sale product
as publication. For purposes that means tax specified Refund
policy policy, if you want, you can
have a fine break. All right here, T over there, you can see it right here. Film policy. Film
policy right there. And you hover over, you see this fine
text right here. Can enter the content we
don't want to sell and we can upload right here
the follow right here. We can change this. There are two different content editors. We also share it after you have published your product that was gum and that was lemon squeeze. After you have published your product on lemon
squeeze or gum bro, you will get a share link that you will use
in this type form. To submit your
template to framer. You would type in your
name, E mail address. You don't need a tarter
profile, if you want, you can. Your published URL goes right here and then
you submit it. Then there are some requirements for the template and
you can get rejected. But here in the list reasons
why it might be rejected. If it is accepted, what you get, the benefits are here, make money on free templates
as explained as well. So you can see
detailed information about all of this on framers, submit a template page. So hopefully this was useful,
and I'll see you soon.
41. Chapter Overview (Nitty Gritty): So in this chapter, we explored all the
details about Framer, some page settings, and
some site settings. We also explored the
amazing Figma plug in, which allows you to import any design from
Figma into framer. And it actually
becomes, you know, a fully layered website,
functioning website. And it differentiates, you know, the text from image to elements and you can actually
customize all of it. We also looked a little bit at actions that I don't really use, not going to live,
but how you can maybe simplify the process
of doing stuff in framer. And those are kind of
just like shortcuts and how to search for
pages using action. So that's it for this chapter
and I'll see you soon.
42. Course Project: So in this practice, our goal is to create a
website and just use one of the advanced
customization techniques that we lack in the
premies chop game. Feel free to try it out
for yourself and achieve it yourself or come
along with us, but try to, you know, change it up a little
bit on the go. So we're going to start with I, so we're going to create a new website and we're
going to click Kramer. And so we're going to write
our Rome just in here. And let's think. I'm going to write this
for a dog care brand. Our product in
includes for care. Show the product. Okay, let's try this. P. Okay, so after it has generated
our website, let's see. We just need to add one
element, one advanced. Let's skip the tutorial
one advanced element. And we will be ready. I would like to add Carousel. Let's add the elements
to the carousel. Let's take these
out of Canvvast's, take in the carousel. Here we go. Let's stretch
this out a little bit. Let's preview this. Here we go. Here we
have our carousel, which was advanced
skilled in our course. Lastly, I'd like to just publish it and name it for Po Care, for example. Why not? Now our website is
published and live and anyone can access
it and see our care, just see what AI generated
about our brand. Yeah, that's it for this video.
