Sharing Projects
Share Framer projects with teammates, clients, and stakeholders to collect feedback, review progress, and collaborate more effectively.
Overview
Sharing projects is an important part of the website creation process. Whether you’re working with a client, collaborating with a team, or presenting designs to stakeholders, being able to share work quickly and clearly helps keep projects moving forward.
Framer makes it easy to share websites throughout different stages of development, from early concepts and design reviews to final approval and publication.
This guide explains common project-sharing workflows, best practices, and tips for improving collaboration during reviews.
Why Share Projects?
Project sharing helps:
Gather feedback
Improve collaboration
Review progress
Present ideas
Validate design decisions
Reduce misunderstandings
Regular reviews often lead to better outcomes and fewer surprises later in the project.
Common Project Sharing Scenarios
Projects are commonly shared with:
Clients
Team members
Stakeholders
Marketing teams
Content creators
Project managers
Each group may review different aspects of the website.
Sharing During Design
Early project sharing can help identify issues before significant work is completed.
Examples include:
Homepage concepts
Layout directions
Branding explorations
Navigation structures
Early feedback often prevents major revisions later.
Sharing for Content Reviews
Content reviews help ensure information is accurate and complete.
Review:
Headlines
Body content
CTAs
Product information
Service descriptions
Content approval should ideally happen before launch.
Sharing for Design Feedback
Design reviews often focus on:
Layouts
Typography
Colors
Visual hierarchy
Branding consistency
Structured design reviews typically produce more useful feedback.
Sharing Responsive Layouts
A website should be reviewed across multiple devices.
When sharing projects, encourage reviewers to test:
Desktop layouts
Tablet layouts
Mobile layouts
Responsive issues are easier to fix before launch.
Sharing CMS-Powered Websites
CMS projects require additional review.
Verify:
Dynamic pages
Collection structures
Images
Categories
Content formatting
Reviewers should understand how dynamic content behaves across the website.
Sharing Before Launch
A final review should occur before publishing.
Review:
Navigation
Forms
SEO settings
Responsive behavior
Content accuracy
A final approval process helps reduce launch-day issues.
Presenting Projects Effectively
When sharing projects, provide context.
Explain:
Project goals
Target audience
Design decisions
Requested feedback
Reviewers often provide better feedback when they understand the objectives.
Request Specific Feedback
General feedback can be difficult to act on.
Instead of asking:
Ask:
Specific questions usually produce more actionable responses.
Organize Feedback
As projects grow, feedback can become difficult to manage.
Group feedback into categories such as:
Content
Design
SEO
Functionality
Mobile responsiveness
Organization helps prioritize improvements.
Avoid Too Many Reviewers
While feedback is valuable, too many opinions can create conflicting direction.
Focus on feedback from:
Key stakeholders
Decision makers
Relevant contributors
Clear ownership helps prevent unnecessary revisions.
Share Progress Regularly
Waiting until a project is nearly finished can create unexpected challenges.
Regular reviews help:
Align expectations
Identify issues early
Reduce major revisions
Improve communication
Small reviews are often more effective than one large review.
Preparing Projects for Review
Before sharing:
Organize layers
Review content
Test layouts
Verify navigation
Remove unfinished sections
A polished presentation helps reviewers focus on meaningful feedback.
Sharing Projects With Clients
When sharing with clients:
Explain project goals
Provide review instructions
Clarify timelines
Document feedback requests
Clear communication helps maintain productive client relationships.
Sharing Projects Internally
Internal reviews may focus on:
Branding
Marketing goals
Technical requirements
Content quality
SEO considerations
Cross-functional reviews often improve website quality.
Managing Revisions
Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.
Evaluate feedback based on:
User needs
Business goals
Project scope
Design consistency
Feedback should support the project’s objectives.
Common Project Sharing Mistakes
Sharing Too Late
Late-stage feedback often results in larger revisions.
Share progress early and regularly.
Requesting Vague Feedback
General comments are often difficult to act on.
Ask targeted questions.
Ignoring Mobile Reviews
Desktop-only reviews may overlook important usability issues.
Always review mobile layouts.
Sharing Incomplete Work Without Context
Reviewers may misunderstand unfinished designs.
Clearly communicate what is complete and what is still in progress.
Collecting Feedback Without Prioritization
Not all feedback has equal importance.
Focus on suggestions that align with project goals.
Best Practices
Share projects regularly
Request specific feedback
Review responsive layouts
Organize feedback clearly
Present project goals
Involve key stakeholders
Test before sharing
Document revisions
Maintain clear communication
Focus on actionable improvements
