1. Getting Started with Framer

1.1 Create an Account

Sign up at framer.com. Use the free tier for basic projects. For larger teams, consider the Pro plan ($12/month per editor).

1.2 Install the Desktop App

Download the macOS or Windows installer. The desktop app syncs with the web and gives you offline access.

1.3 Set Up a New Project

File → New Project → Choose a template
Select “Landing Page” for a clean layout
Name your project “Coach Landing”

1.4 Familiarize with the UI

The canvas is the main design area. The right sidebar contains components, properties, and style panels. The left panel shows your page hierarchy.

2. Designing Your Coaching Page

2.1 Wireframe the Layout

Use a 12‑column grid. Place a hero section, benefits list, testimonials, and a call‑to‑action (CTA) button.

2.2 Add Typography & Color

Choose a sans serif font (e.g., Inter). Set body font size to 18px for readability. Use a primary brand color (#1d4ed8) for headings and CTA.

Typography → Body: Inter, 18px
Heading: Inter Bold, 32px
Primary Color: #1d4ed8
Secondary Color: #64748b
Background: #f9fafb

2.3 Build the Hero Section

Include a headline, sub‑headline, and an image.

Frame → Add → Text → “Unlock Your Potential”
Text → Add → Text → “Personalized coaching for entrepreneurs”
Image → Add → Upload
Button → Add → “Book a Free Call”

2.4 Create a Benefits List

Use icons from the Framer icon library. List three key benefits.

Icon → Add → “Target”
Text → Add → “Goal‑setting”
Icon → Add → “Clock”
Text → Add → “Time‑management”
Icon → Add → “Chat”
Text → Add → “Continuous support”

2.5 Add Testimonials

Insert a carousel component. Add three testimonials with photos.

Component → Add → Carousel
Slide → Add → Image, Name, Quote

3. Reusable Components and Libraries

3.1 Create a CTA Button Component

Design a button once, then reuse it across pages.

Frame → Add → Button → “Book Now”
Style → Background: #1d4ed8
Text → Color: #fff
Exports → Add to Library

3.2 Use Framer Libraries

Integrate Framer Blocks for ready‑made UI elements. For example, use the “Sign‑Up Form” block. Customize its fields.

3.3 Build a Modal Popup

Use Framer’s Modal component for lead capture.

Component → Add → Modal
Trigger → Button → “Get Free Guide”
Content → Form → Name, Email, Submit

4. Adding Interactions and Animations

4.1 Hover Effects

Apply a subtle lift on CTA hover.

Button → Interactions → Hover
Animate → Scale 1.05
Ease → EaseOut

4.2 Scroll‑Triggered Animations

Animate the benefits list as it scrolls into view.

Frame → Interactions → While in view
Animate → Opacity 0 → 1
TranslateY 20 → 0

4.3 Carousel Autoplay

Set the testimonial carousel to autoplay every 5 seconds.

Carousel → Settings → Autoplay
Interval → 5000

4.4 Exported Animation Code

Use the “Export → Code” feature to get React or Web components. For example, export the CTA button as a React component:

export const BookNowButton = () => (
  <button style={{background:'#1d4ed8',color:'#fff',padding:'12px 24px',borderRadius:'4px'}}>
    Book Now
  </button>
);

5. Exporting and Integrating with Your Site

5.1 Export Assets

Choose PNG/WebP for images, SVG for icons. Export at 2x for retina displays.

5.2 Export Code

Select the entire page, click Export → React. Copy the generated files into your project.

5.3 Embed in Your Site

If you use WordPress, install the Framer Embed plugin. Insert the exported code into a page block.

5.4 Test Responsiveness

Use browser dev tools to verify layout on mobile. Adjust breakpoints in the Framer editor under Responsive settings.
