Instant publishing

Before using Framer, many updates required development time or faced delays. They had stories to share and investments to highlight, but the process held them back. They also spent a lot of time fixing bugs whenever parts of the site broke, turning simple updates into slow, frustrating work.

The team had long wanted to move their site to Framer, but with more than a hundred blog posts and long-form resources, it seemed like a time-consuming project. In reality, with the help of designer Ben Gold and support from the Framer team, the entire migration was completed in just five weeks.

Now everything happens in one place. The team can design, write, and publish directly, with no platform switching or bottlenecks. Updates go live instantly: from a founder spotlight to a blog post, Designer Fund’s website moves at the speed of their work. This freedom has changed their pace entirely. Its website now feels like a live feed of its work: always up to date, never behind.

Design-first control

Framer lets Designer Fund build expressive pages, test new structures, and adapt the site’s design as the fund evolves. There’s no need to choose between speed and craft.

As the team explored new ways to scale their site, Framer’s CMS became a key part of the process. Using multiple CMS collections opened up new possibilities. When they built a company CMS for the homepage, creating a dedicated company page was effortless since the content was already in place. What might have taken weeks became a matter of hours. With Framer’s flexible setup, building on top of their own infrastructure is faster, easier, and far more creative.

Designer Fund’s co-founder Ben Blumenrose on using Framer:

“Our team loves working with Framer. It’s changed how we manage our site. We went from scattered tools and things constantly breaking to a single, easy-to-use space where we have far more control. It’s fast, too. Publishing blog post changes used to take minutes, but with Framer, it happens instantly.”

Built for storytelling

As Designer Fund’s portfolio grows, so does their need to share more stories about founders, missions, and design in practice. Their site now supports it all. With Framer’s flexible CMS, the team has the freedom to publish blog posts, launch resources, and evolve the structure of the site whenever needed. No waiting. No rebuilding from scratch.
