The whole site as a Framer project: 10 pages, 1 CMS collection, laid out for desktop, tablet and phone. Leave your email and the remix link is sent to it; Framer copies the site into your workspace. ### How do I make it mine? 1. Open the remix link. Framer copies the whole site into your workspace. 2. Change the text, images and colour styles in the Framer editor. 3. Publish to a free Framer address, or connect your own domain on a paid Framer site plan. ### Do I need to write code? No. Text, images, colours and CMS entries are all edited in place in the Framer editor. ### Can I use it on more than one website? The Free licence covers your own sites and client work. The licence page has the details. ### What if I get stuck? Write to support@openfile.pro. Replies come within 48 hours on weekdays, and setup questions and bugs in the template are covered. ### What does The Counsel's enquiry form ask? The request a conversation page asks for a full name, email, city, role and company, what the person is leading now, the programme they are interested in and their team size, and, optionally, who suggested they get in touch. A honeypot guards it against spam, and each request is sent to your email. ### Can a consultancy use The Counsel? Yes. The sample copy is for a private coaching practice with two programmes, one to one and a twelve-week cohort, but the pages are the ones any practice needs: an approach, what an engagement holds, the programmes, an enquiry form and a journal. A consultancy or an advisory firm keeps the structure and rewrites the words. ### Does The Counsel have a blog? Yes, the journal. It runs on the CMS with four articles to start from, each on its own page, and the journal page has a newsletter signup. ## Posts about The Counsel - [Best free Framer templates in 2026 (that are actually usable for a real site)](https://openfile.pro/blog/best-free-framer-templates) (2026-10-08) - [How much does a Framer website cost in 2026?](https://openfile.pro/blog/how-much-does-a-framer-website-cost) (2026-10-07) - [Choosing a Framer template by the job your site has to do](https://openfile.pro/blog/choosing-a-framer-template-by-the-job) (2026-10-02)
