For years the hand-off was where good design went to die. Framer changed that for me: what I design is what ships, and clients can update it without calling me.

Build the system first

Before any page, I set up colours, text styles and a handful of components. It feels slow on day one and saves days by the end.

Keep content in the CMS

Anything that repeats — projects, posts, testimonials — lives in a collection. Clients edit text, not layouts, and nothing breaks.

Hand over properly

A short video walkthrough and a one-page guide go further than any documentation. The goal is a team that feels confident, not dependent.
