Framer CMS: add projects and posts.

The Framer CMS keeps repeating content, like projects, blog posts or team members, in tables instead of on the page. You add a row, and the site shows it in the right place with the right design. It is how a template stays tidy when your portfolio grows from three projects to thirty.

Four words to know

• Collection: one kind of content, such as Projects. A template can have several.
• Item: one entry in a collection, such as one project.
• Field: one piece of an item: title, image, text, date, link and so on.
• CMS page: the one design used for every item's own page, such as /work/my-project.

Lists of items on normal pages, such as the grid of projects on Work, are filled from a collection too. You set how many to show, in which order and with which filter.

Add a project or a post

1. Open the CMS. In your Framer project, open the CMS panel. Each collection the template uses is listed there, for example Projects or Blog.
2. Open a collection. A collection is a table: each row is an item (one project, one post), each column a field (title, cover, text, date).
3. Replace a sample item. Click a sample item and change its fields. Start by editing one item and check how it looks on the site before you do the rest.
4. Add your own items. Add a new item and fill every field. Its page is created from the CMS page design, so it matches the others.
5. Delete the samples. Remove the sample items you do not use, so no placeholder reaches the live site.
6. Publish. Publish the site. New and changed items go live with it.

Tips that save time

• Keep images the same shape. Covers with the same aspect ratio keep grids even.
• Write the slug yourself. The slug is the item's address. Short and readable is better for people and search.
• Fill the SEO fields if the template has them, so each item gets its own title and description in search.
• Import from a spreadsheet. Moving many items from another tool? Collections can be filled from a CSV file.

Plan limits

CMS limits depend on the Framer plan of the published site. On November 3, 2026: Basic allows 2 collections and 1,000 items, Pro 10 collections and 2,500 items. You can build with more on the free plan, and only hit the limit when you publish on a paid plan. Details are in Framer pricing explained.
