Key takeaways
A typical B2B Framer development project can range from roughly $8k–$25k+, depending on scope.
Page count matters, but CMS, integrations, migrations, animations, and content complexity can have a significant impact on cost.
Design + development costs more than development from approved designs.
A good project scope should account for QA, launch, handoff, and future website ownership, not just the initial build.
When comparing Framer agencies, look at their process, relevant experience, technical capability, and approach to maintainability after launch.
A practical guide to Framer development pricing, project scope, timelines, and what to expect when working with a Framer agency.
A Framer project can cost a few thousand dollars or more than $30,000, depending on what you need.
For B2B companies, a Framer website is usually more than a collection of pages. It is a marketing system that needs to support campaigns, content updates, sales conversations, and future growth.
This guide explains typical cost ranges, what affects the budget, how a Framer project usually works, and what to consider when choosing a development partner.
A Quick Guide to Framer Project Costs
Every project is different, but these ranges provide a practical starting point.
Project type | Typical scope | Timeline | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Small Framer website | 3–5 pages, simple layouts, no or limited CMS | 2–4 weeks | $5k–$10k |
B2B marketing website | 5–15 pages, CMS, reusable sections, integrations | 4–8 weeks | $10k–$25k+ |
Complex website system | Migration, advanced CMS, multiple integrations, training, ongoing support | 8+ weeks | $25k+ |
For reference:
Framer development-only projects usually start around $6k–$15k, and lands between $8k to $30k for a typical B2B marketing website, from our experience at New Lemon.
Design + development projects usually start higher because they include strategy, UX, visual design, and implementation.
Additional integrations, CMS complexity, animations, and training are common additions to the main project scope.
What Affects Framer Development Cost?
The number of pages matters, but it is rarely the only factor.
A five-page website with a simple structure can require much less work than a five-page website with complex CMS, animations, integrations, and multiple stakeholder requirements.
Here are some of the main cost drivers to consider:
Cost driver | Typical additional scope | Typical impact |
|---|---|---|
Page complexity | More sections, custom layouts, complex content structure | Higher design and development effort |
CMS collections | Blog, case studies, resources, industries, careers | Quoted per collection, depending on CMS complexity |
Integrations | HubSpot, GA4, Calendly, Greenhouse, automation tools | Quoted per integration or included in the main project |
Custom animations | Advanced interactions, motion effects, scroll behaviour | Quoted per area/section or included in the main project |
Migration | Existing content, URLs, SEO, redirects, CMS migration | Depends on website size and complexity |
Additional training and support | Team workshops, documentation, ongoing updates | Depends on the level of support needed |
These are general examples based on New Lemon Studio's project experience. Pricing varies by scope. Contact us to get a more detailed estimate for these add-ons.
Page structure and content complexity
A website with more pages is usually more expensive, but page count alone does not tell the full story.
Complexity also increases when the project requires more unique page layouts, content sections, stakeholder reviews, or custom components.
CMS requirements
CMS is one of the biggest differences between a simple Framer website and a scalable B2B website system.
Common CMS collections include blogs, case studies, customer stories, industries, resources, and careers.
A well-planned CMS allows marketing teams to publish and update content without relying on developers for every change.
Integrations
Many marketing integrations are straightforward, but the effort depends on what the website needs to do and how deeply it connects with your wider marketing workflow.
For example, adding a button that links to a Greenhouse job board is generally a low-effort setup. Building a custom lead flow connected to CRM automation requires considerably more planning, implementation, and testing.
Common B2B integrations include HubSpot, GA4, Hotjar or PostHog, Calendly, Greenhouse or Ashby, and form and automation tools.
Training and ongoing support
A good handoff reduces future dependency on external developers.
Some teams also benefit from deeper training on CMS management, landing page creation, publishing workflows, or other regular website tasks. For more complicated updates, a lightweight pay-as-you-go support arrangement can provide a useful safety net without requiring a monthly retainer.
What Does a Typical Framer Project Look Like?
Every Framer agency will have its own process, but a structured project usually follows a similar path.
At New Lemon Studio, we break projects into clear stages with defined tasks, timelines, and responsibilities. For each project, we share a project checklist covering:
tasks for each stage
target dates and milestones
client inputs
agency deliverables
review and approval points
This keeps the project moving and gives both sides clear visibility throughout the build.
Stage | Client responsibilities | Agency responsibilities |
|---|---|---|
1. Planning and scope | • Share website goals and priorities | • Review requirements |
2. Design handoff or planning | • Provide approved designs or collaborate on structure decisions | • Review designs for Framer feasibility |
3. Framer development | • Review progress at agreed milestones | • Build pages, reusable sections, CMS collections, integrations, and responsive layouts |
4. QA and testing | • Review website content and key user journeys | • Test responsive layouts, forms, analytics, SEO settings, integrations, performance, and technical functionality |
5. Launch | • Approve the final version | • Complete final setup |
6. Handoff and ongoing support | • Take ownership of day-to-day updates | • Provide documentation and training |
A well-run Framer project should leave your team with more than a launched website. It should leave you with a website system your team understands and can continue improving.
What to Look for When Choosing a Framer Agency
A Framer project is usually a long-term website investment, not just a one-time build.
When comparing agencies, pay attention to how they think about the website before, during, and after launch.
Have they worked on websites like yours?
See whether they ask about requirements beyond the visual build, especially:
CMS-driven content
integrations
existing marketing tools and workflows
B2B website and content requirements
A partner with relevant experience will usually ask better questions and identify potential issues earlier.
Do they understand what your website needs to achieve?
A good Framer partner should understand more than the page list.
During the first conversation, see whether they ask about:
who manages the website internally
how marketing launches campaigns
what content needs regular updates
how leads move from the website to sales
what the team wants to manage independently after launch
Will your team be able to manage the website afterwards?
The website will continue changing after launch.
Ask:
How will reusable sections be structured?
How will CMS content be organised?
What can our team update without developer help?
What documentation or training is included?
A well-built Framer website should reduce future friction, not create another dependency.
Do they have a clear process?
Before starting, make sure you understand:
how scope is defined
how feedback is handled
how testing works before launch
what happens after the website goes live
Clear communication and a structured process often make a bigger difference than small differences in technical ability.
