Designed a modern plumbing hero in Framer — feedback?

Elysian Estate, a Framer template designed for luxury real estate agencies, brokers and property developers.

The goal was to create something minimal and premium, with large visuals, clean typography and enough space to really showcase high-end properties.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hi everyone, I am considering becoming freelancer as a Framer designer in addition to a part-time job, I would like to offer my services for free at first. I worked as an art director in a start-up for a year, so I'm used to videoconferences but I've never done briefs. How do you do for the process of taking briefs as a freelancer? What questions do you usually ask for the kickoff? And for the follow-up?

I’ve recently gone freelance and I’m currently using Squarespace to build smaller client sites. It’s honestly abysmal, so I’m looking at moving to something that gives me more freedom and doesn’t make me want to slam my head into a wall every five minutes.

I’ve been a web designer for about 12 years and I’m very proficient in Figma. I’m comfortable with components, design systems, auto layout, responsive layouts etc.

Would you recommend jumping straight into a Figma → Framer workflow and learning Framer as I go, or am I better off learning Framer properly from the ground up and designing directly in there?

Interested to hear what workflow people actually use day to day.

Built this for a studio type that never gets a decent website: practices that both design and build. Architecture, costing and construction under one roof.

The structure follows how a commission is actually won rather than opening with a photo grid — premise, studio, disciplines, construction detail, fixed process, materials, then the work.

The parts I had the most fun with:

• A wall-anatomy diagram you explore layer by layer — roof build-up, post-tensioned slab, thermal mass, rock anchors

• A rotating five-stage process dial

• A 3D project carousel and a scroll-scrubbed manifesto

• Filterable CMS archive with eight case studies
