How this site is built

The colors, type, components and Framer AI skills behind every page. Framer AI reads the same rules, so new pages match the rest of the site. This page is hidden from search engines.

Start here

Make it yours in five steps

01

Ask Framer AI to make it yours

Open Framer AI and type: Make this site ours: Lakeside Builders, Portland, (503) 555-0110. It asks for anything it is missing and updates every page.

02

Replace the demo content

Amber Sample tags mark the reviews, prices and license number that came with the template. Replace each one with your own before you publish.

03

Add your projects and photos

Add your jobs to the Projects collection with your own photos, budget band and build time, or ask Framer AI: Add our Magnolia bathroom project.

04

Connect your forms

Select the forms on Start Your Project and Warranty and choose where submissions go: your email or a tool you already use.

05

Check before you publish

Ask Framer AI to run the claims check, then the search check. Both list what to fix and change nothing without your OK.

Color

Fir green on plaster

Use the color styles, never raw hex values. Amber is only for Sample tags on demo content.

Components

Build new sections from these parts

Edit a component once and every page that uses it updates. Framer AI reuses these parts instead of drawing new ones.

Logo

Default on light sections, On Dark on Background Dark. Change the name and the letter tile when you make the site yours.

Button

One Primary button per section. Labels use the words homeowners use: Schedule a consultation, See our work, Call, Text us. Never Get started or Learn more. The second action next to it is always framed: Secondary on light sections, and on photos and Background Dark a link with a thin Text On Dark border, as in the Home hero.

Sample Chip

Marks demo content: reviews, prices and the license number. Remove each chip when you replace what it marks.

Sample

Service Card

Filled from the Services collection. Row on Home (desktop): a numbered list with each price range. Default cards on Services, Service Area and on Home for tablet and phone. Shows the full price range; what most clients spend is on each service page.

Project Card

Feature and Compact build the Home mosaic: the first featured project large, the next two beside it. Default in rows of three on Service Area and project pages, and on Home on phones. Large in two columns on the Projects page. Framer may flag the Default cards; that warning is safe to ignore.

Review Card

Filled from each project’s homeowner quote. Feature shows the first review as a large quote on Home; the next two use the default card. The Sample chip shows while Quote Is Sample is on; turn it off only for a real review you have permission to post.

FAQ Item

Closed by default; a tap opens it. Keep answers to two or three sentences with the real number or time.

Do you pull the permits?

How soon can you start?

Design usually starts within three weeks of the consultation. Construction dates are set when you sign the build contract.

CTA Band

Ends most pages, over a job-site photo with a dark shade. Swap the photo for one of your own jobs and keep the shade so the text stays easy to read. Desktop variant on desktop and tablet, Phone variant on phone. Left off Start Your Project, where the form is the next step.

Carpenter driving screws into wood siding with a cordless drill

Tell us about your house.

Send a few lines about the project, or call. We reply within one business day, and the first visit is at no charge.

Send a few lines about the project, or call. We reply within one business day, and the first visit is at no charge.

Form Button

The submit button on both forms. Framer switches to Sending, Sent or Error on its own while the form sends.

Mobile Action Bar

Fixed to the bottom of the screen on phones only: Call, Text and Schedule. It lives in the Main layout template, so the phone number changes in one place.

Navigation and Footer

Both live in the Main layout template, so a change shows on every page. The footer services list reads from the Services collection, and the footer license line must match the About page.

Open Layout Templates > Main to edit them. On tablet and phone the menu opens from the menu button.

Examples

Sections, put together

Four sections from the home page, each with a note on when to use it. Start from the closest one when you or Framer AI add a page.

Example 1 · Service list

Your services as rows on Surface, fed by the Services collection. Each row opens its service page.

What we build

Six kinds of projects. One team from design to walkthrough.

Example 2 · How a job runs

The steps from first visit to walkthrough on Accent. Use it once on a page to answer what happens next.

How we work

Four steps, and you always know which one you are in.

01

Consultation at your house

We walk the house with you, talk through goals and budget, and tell you plainly if we are the right fit. About an hour, no charge.

02

Design and a written price

Our designer draws the plan and we price it line by line. You see the full price before you sign the build contract.

03

Build with one project lead

Our own crew does the core work. Your project lead sends a weekly update with photos and what comes next.

04

Walkthrough and warranty

We finish the punch list with you, hand over the paperwork and stand behind the work for five years.

Example 3 · Photo band

During and finished photos of one job on Background Dark. It shows the first featured project.

Photo updates every week

From open walls to walkthrough, you see every stage.

Your project lead sends photos and the plan for the next week, every week. Here is one of our recent projects, during construction and finished.

Room with walls opened to the studs during construction

During construction

Open kitchen with a blue tall cabinet and a walnut island next to the dining table

Finished

Example 4 · Owner note

A short signed note from the owner beside a photo, on Accent Soft. Place it before the contact form.

Ben Dunmore, owner of Dunmore Construction, in a red hard hat

From the owner

Call the office and you will usually get me or Rosa.

I started Dunmore Construction in 2004 with one truck and a crew of three. We have grown since, but we keep the company small on purpose: one project lead for each job, our own carpenters for the core work, and a price you can read before anything starts.

If something on your job is not right, I want to hear it from you first.

Ben Dunmore

Owner, Dunmore Construction

Framer AI
