Brother, can you share your daily routine in a video like "a daily life of Framer goat 🐐 "

[@framer.university]

a day in the life? could be fun!

[@Nirperetz9]

Hi Nandi, Thanks! I learned Framer from your videos and did a UX UI Course. But I don't understand how to start creating websites for people, Is it possible you'll make a video about the whole process of creating a website for a client? Do i need to charge them for domain or a server? Do I need to give them my framer account or they creating a new one and i will work on it? So many questions, I wish there was a practical video that can teach from 0 - Hero how can i take my framer skills and make money out of it. Thanks again!

[@framer.university]

hi mate! i’ll consider making a step-by-step video, thanks for the suggestion, and good luck on your journey :)

[@Alexbuildswebsites]

I have the exact same QUESTIONS PLS MAKE THE VIDEO NANDI

[@noasinyes]

ya please make it!

[@jiang-james]

@@framer.university I also have the exact same QUESTIONS

[@thezaidushaikh]

I have some knowledge about this, Your client need to have a framer account, after completing your client's project, send your client a project remix link using lemonsqueezy or stripe, when your client remix that project in their workspace, tell your client about adding you in their workspace using email, for website management or customization. that's little knowledge I know about client's process, thanks and sorry for bad English

[@emm5582]

Solid video!! I had many questions related to cms and now it much more clear! Thank you!! Btw, for real estate websites done in Framer, they'e also made using this cms tool? Do clients have to go to framer to update every property? or they can update something on an excel page that is linked and things would automatically appear and change on the real estate framer website? And how to add the search bar (to search from the content, like in your website) And thank you for the video!!!

[@framer.university]

Glad the vid helped! You mostly have to update content from directly the CMS but plugins like the Google Sheets CMS plugin allow for synchronization. Learn about that here: framer.university/lessons/6-framer-plugins Regarding the search bar: it needs custom code. I might release and easy to use customizable component for that.

[@notdoshi.1404]

you gotta make a video on framer e-commerce capabilities...try to make a full tutorial on it please

[@framer.university]

thanks for the suggestion! noted :)

[@maxym93]

Great video Nandi. Especially enjoyed the part about Flexible CMS. It can get somewhat complicated haha. Wondering if it's possible to do similar thing that you did to images inside the CMS Article but using Slider or Carousel components?

[@framer.university]

Unfortunately no:/

[@maxym93]

@@framer.university thank you foor the response. Unfortunately I keep hitting limitation like this with Framer. I guess depending for the project the right route would be webflow or custom dev

Hellow Sir, please share a video how we can make cms slideshow using framer slideshow component. Many of use face issue while try to add slide from cms. You are really amazing. Thanks.

they're in the inspect panel. right click and "inspect" on any site.

I hope Framer will soon optimize the platform for developing ecommerce websites. I am currently building one, and I already want to jump out of a plane because of all the work I have to do regarding CMS and its interactions 😂🙃🙃🙃

[@framer.university]

What’s missing?

[@cgeddz]

On the "default" option for a field, what's the difference between value and based on?

[@bulkinstudio]

Why is the process of creating categories/filters so complicated and not automated? Every time we have to go through the same steps. Moreover, such a website cannot evolve without the support of a designer. If a client who is not a designer wants to increase the number of categories, they will not be able to do it on their own. Isn't it possible to create a block that automatically takes filters from the CMS?

[@xyz09999]

this is greta! however when I navigate through my CMS I couldn't find "category" to be added to the field... do you know why

[@framer.university]

in this example, there is another collection called "Categories" which houses a bunch of items each being a category. then on the blog cms collection you can add a reference or multi reference field where you're referencing specific item or items (category or categories) from the categories cms collection. hopefully this makes sense.

[@ErrorAssasinOfficial]

Thnx so Much

[@framer.university]

Happy to help

[@rumorscameras]

do you think there is a way to pull the h2 titles of the blogpost and make a scroll menu on the side or a overview with clickable h2 that scroll to the section in question, automatically in every blog

[@aartibandekar9520]

Nandi, is there a way to add comparison tables to blog cms within the content fields? The code options I see here simply display code snippets as is. Would appreciate your guidance!

[@bearduo]

Hey mate how can we create filter component on mobile view port ?

[@framer.university]

Of course!

[@jenniferthompson6090]

How we can add related post in blog page. When someone open a blog post in bottom they will find the related post?

[@framer.university]

CMS reference fields is perfect for that. in this example they're used for adding categories to posts, but the same technique can be used to add related posts.

[@virajlimbadia5935]

@@framer.university Hi, what if there are multiple categories for each post, and showing related post based on those categories. Something what framer does on their template detail pages! Would love to see a video on that. Thanks

[@gdiogoagenciadigital]

Hi, I need help with something related. How can I create a 'drop down multi-filter,' similar to the ones on e-commerce pages, that filters items in real time from my CMS and displays the results in a grid? But it's important that both info that were selected shows up. Is there a way without having to make that many component variants?

[@MARCOS4U]

How to integrate your own design into it?

[@MARCOS4U]

Also if the page has components, then how to assign a cms field to it?

[@framer.university]

You can just replace the elements. And components need to have component variables, that’s how you can connect CMS fields to them.

[@mair27]

I'm having trouble accessing the scroll bar in the properties area. I have to zoom out a lot just to get to component properties like text and image for the card component, and when I zoom out, it makes the text pretty hard to read. I'm using Chrome on a Windows 10 machine. Could you share how you’re approaching this or if there’s a workaround? Would really appreciate any insights!

[@charlesowoeye5912]

You need a mouse for that

[@roubalsehgal]

Suppose, if there are 10 Filters for a CMS, then we've to create 10 variants along with that of different breakpoint variants also(mobile, tab, large devices). Is there any alternative which is more effective and scalable ? And if suppose a new filter is added we've to create new variants for that again. seems not scalable and easy to maintain

[@framer.university]

You can nest component within each other to create more scalable systems. It’s all about the structure:)

[@AnetaDziewońska-t4w]

How can I adding different amount of images to each page within a CSM collection?

[@歐子豪-c6h]

Hello, I am a brand designer from Taiwan. I would like to ask about publishing my works using CMS. I have some layout requirements that I’d like to customize independently for each project. Is it possible to achieve this? If not, does that mean I cannot use CMS for management and instead need to create a separate page for each project to design individually?

Brother, thank you so much for this insightful video! Could you create a deep-dive video on building a CMS-based website that specifically highlights the advantages of using Framer compared to other so-called AI website builders? I’m particularly interested in how a robust CMS can be developed for scalable websites that allows businesses to list and manage their services effectively. With the rise of AI, many clients seem to undervalue creative design and custom landing pages. They no longer see the same value in these services, which is why a strong CMS platform-one that enables scaling of blogs, services, or package offerings-is crucial. I've lost several clients due to a lack of CMS expertise, and I feel this would be an incredibly useful skill set. Could you teach us how to build a high-functioning CMS, similar to what’s used by sites like Airbnb or TripAdvisor, with diverse CMS collections that also support SEO? A course on this would be especially valuable, and I'd be willing to invest in it. Thanks again, brother! lot's of love from India ❤

[@framer.university]

thanks for the suggestion! will definitely doing deep dives into CMS in upcoming Framer University courses.

[@class2444]

Thank you, Nandi! Here’s a fun fact: in about your name, 'Nandi' has a special meaning. Nandi is not only a sacred symbol but also the revered bull of the Hindu god Shiva, who serves as his mount and most loyal follower. Sending lots of love from India! I worship both shiv and nandi on daily basis, Your recent video on fixing website issues was incredibly helpful, especially for beginners like me. If you ever have the chance, I’d love to see a complete tutorial on building a website-from initial design to delivery. I’m sure many of us would find it valuable, and I'd even be willing to pay for a series like that. Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication!

i dont know why no one tried to educate a CMS page from scratch? all are just modifying the dumbest CMS blog page templates already in framer, i doubt framer is a scam.
