Framer is making its Community easier to use as both a discovery engine and a storefront. The website builder’s August Community update adds a Likes tab for saved content, brings acquisition buttons to mobile, and gives creators clearer ways to establish their identity and receive inquiries.
The company announced the update on LinkedIn on August 12. While none of the additions changes Framer’s core site-building workflow, together they address several practical gaps in its growing marketplace and community experience.
Likes Become a Practical Bookmarking System
The most notable addition is a dedicated Likes tab on user profiles. Content that a member likes can now be revisited from one place, effectively turning the existing reaction into a lightweight save function.
That matters in a community filled with templates, components and other reusable work. Users often browse before they are ready to start a project or make a purchase. Previously, liking an item could signal appreciation, but the new tab gives that action a second purpose: building a personal collection for later review.

For small teams, freelancers and founders, this should reduce the need to keep separate browser bookmarks or manually track promising resources. It also gives creators another reason to optimize their listings for discovery, since a like can now lead to a return visit rather than disappearing into a feed.
The change follows Framer’s broader effort to consolidate its ecosystem around Community. The company has already made the Marketplace the default destination for finding site assets and restored Marketplace search with autocomplete. The Likes tab fills in another part of that journey by helping users retain what they discover.
Mobile Visitors Can Act Immediately
Framer is also bringing Use for Free and Buy buttons to mobile. These calls to action let visitors acquire free resources or begin purchasing paid items without switching to a desktop browser.
The mobile change is small but commercially important. Community links are frequently shared through social networks, messages and email, where recipients may first open them on a phone. If acquisition controls are missing from that experience, creators risk losing users between discovery and action. Adding both buttons makes the mobile path more consistent with the intended role of Community as a distribution channel.

Framer did not disclose any changes to pricing, transaction terms or creator fees as part of the announcement. The update concerns where the existing free-use and purchase actions are available, rather than introducing a new sales model.
Creator profiles are becoming more useful as business pages, too. Members can now add LinkedIn to their profiles, providing another identity and credibility signal for prospective customers. A new Contact creator button creates a more explicit route for questions and potential work.
That combination could be particularly useful for independent designers selling templates while also offering customization or client services. A buyer who finds a resource can inspect the creator’s professional profile, acquire the item and initiate contact from the same broader experience. Framer has not specified the contact method or any configuration requirements in the material provided, so creators should review their own profile after the update becomes available.
The August release is ultimately about reducing dead ends. Likes are easier to retrieve, mobile visitors can act on discoveries, and creator profiles now offer clearer professional and communication paths. For builders using Community as a source of assets, or as a storefront for their own work, those incremental changes make the ecosystem more practical.
