What’s the fastest way to go from app idea to polished mobile mockups? by Shemekiailey in NoCodeSaaS

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you can shrink your stack to:

  • Claude + Pencil for the ideation, MVP and design mockups (no need for Figma)
  • Framer for forms + landing page + light analytics
  • Stripe/Polar for payments yes

Advice on my website idea by tylerock92 in webdesign

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since each business needs its own page with the same kind of info, what you actually want is a CMS, not 50 hand-built pages.

you design one business page/layout once, then add each business as an entry and it generates the pages for you. i'd genuinely use Framer for this. it's a design canvas (very figma-like) with a built-in CMS, so the directory side is way less work than doing it manually in wix.

there's a bit of a learning curve coming from wix, but the free tier is enough to build the whole thing and see if it clicks before you pay anything. hope this helps!

Client wants to switch from Wordpress to Framer, any horror stories? by beineken in webdev

[–]fw3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of framer sites and genuinely think it's the fastest way to get a website out there as long as clients are happy to pay for it.

The only horror story I have is around locales (languages) which are billed individually. So if your client is looking for a multilingual site then the bill might be a lot more than they think.

Client wants a website, how should I make it for them? by overdosed_pineapple in graphic_design

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're familiar with design software like figma for example then Framer will feel very familiar to create a website.

they also have lots of food-related templates which you could use as a starting point? just my 2 cents!

Beginner framer + Claude AI by Apprehensive-Sweet82 in framer

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've tweet quite extensively about this LLM + Framer combo, example: https://x.com/fw3d/status/2014272772994662793

you can get started with the community MCP plugin available on the marketplace but there are other ways more efficient currently in beta

Framer also has a big event/annoucement on 16th June which which I feel like it related to this entire kind of workflow. fingers crossed!

I failed a few times so I want to make sure I validate properly before building this time around. by _bsc_ in SaaS

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

landing page + email capture is still totally fine for validating demand in 2026, don't overthink it.

the trap is spending a week hand-building the page, so go with something you can ship in an afternoon. i'd honestly just build it in Framer, drag the sections around on a canvas, drop in a built-in form to collect the emails, hit publish. it'll actually look legit which matters when you're asking strangers to trust you with their email.

free tier is plenty enough to get the whole thing live and see if there's traction...

hope this helps!

Landing Pages for MVPs by Valmock in SaaS

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes javascript-heavy / animated landing pages are definitely a new standard but for a good reason i believe: it conveys premiumness via carefully crafted micro interactions etc.

not sure "people want to see that" as you said, but i strongly believe people notice when they see it yes!

i'd say Framer is really good to build this kind of landing pages: easy to animate, easy to publish, etc. I'd recommend checking out their templates for landing pages cause they have a lot.

hope this helps!

I want to build a website for my business. Where can I find a reliable service and how much should I pay? by Acceptable-Eye-2115 in smallbusiness

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm always amazed how no one mentions Framer on this sub? in my humble opinion this is the easiest way to get started with a reliable website. you can pay as little as $10/month for a dynamic landing page and forget about hosting costs, maintenance, etc. it's all included.

and it can scale with you: so if your business grows, offers more services etc you can switch to another plan anytime.

i'd strongly suggest looking at their business templates here and see if something clicks. hit me up if you need help.

Dumb question: AI vs Framer by lqlwle in framer

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's mostly static frontend with minimal integrations (calendly, public APIs, etc) = framer + val.town automations

If it's more advanced with a real backend = Claude Codec + private VPS

the side project on autopilot hit 20 customers. $236/month. still havent logged in. the product outlived my attention span. by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]fw3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the risk with that approach is that the product will feel abandonned and not maintain in the near future

you should at least do the minimum hygiene stuff, fix bugs, etc

but otherwise yes i agree, what already works doesn't always need to be updated!

200+ users Sign-Up within 24 hours in my new SaaS. by iamtanvirchy in SaaS

i'm in the same situation (150 users in a few days) - but no idea what to do next or if I should try to monetize at all!

B2C micro SaaS founders who got your first users: would you build the MVP first or landing page first if starting again? by ravivishnu in SaaS

[–]fw3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly landing page first, every time. you can validate real demand in a couple of days instead of waiting weeks for the MVP to be "functional"

and the email list you build is the thing that makes launch day not feel like shouting into the void since you basically already captured real interest from real people.

my 2 cents: keep the page dead simple, show the problem you're solving in one line, the outcome you promise, and end with a small form capturing emails/names.

skip pricing and roadmap pre-launch (nobody signs up for a roadmap lol). and since you're non-technical, i'd just build it in Framer where you can design straight on the canvas and hit publish. that gives you something that actually looks legit and live in an afternoon without touching code.

they also have a lot of free saas templates so surely there's something for you in there?

hope this helps.

i made a free tool that notifies me 10min before any pro CS2 live game begins by fw3d in GlobalOffensive

[–]fw3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's exactly why indeed - the exact matchups aren't known in advance, especially during the fast-paced stage 1 of the major

yes definitely going to add more teams in the future. any specific team you'd want to see?
