7 storytelling websites that captivate and inspire

Sep 12, 2024

A great website doesn’t just look good—it tells a story that resonates with visitors and keeps them engaged. In web design, storytelling is key to creating an experience that goes beyond the ordinary.


Hey,

Would you believe I couldn't sleep? I think it is because there is one hack I have not shared with you. 

Here goes something…

When I decided to learn more about no-code tools, I had to be open to the idea of stepping out of my comfort zone. I was anxious, but I eventually conquered my anxiety. 

It’s been months since I started consistently practicing on Framer and after long hours spent navigating different templates, I am a lot better at handling complex design issues, and I can comfortably say I’ve “hacked Framer”. 

Well, to a large extent and I want to share what I know so far with you. I strongly believe you don’t have to “know it” all before you start sharing what you know. 

So, here are three keys that helped me hack Framer: 

  • Practice and Replicate: It may sound cliché, but the key to mastering Framer is by practicing on Framer. I did so much of this and spent good hours going through their tutorials and playing around with their features. I spent hours practicing and found the Framer starter program to be quite helpful too. As you replicate the things you learn, you have a more hands-on approach, and that boosts your skill. 

  • Seek Feedback: This is important even while you practice your development and designs on Framer, because a second or third person going through what you’ve done can help get your work better. Feel free to ask for support and inspiration from no-code developers like you who use Framer to create amazing websites. I would always ask friends to test templates I had created and give feedback while I was in my practice stage (this doesn’t mean I’ve stopped learning though, learning never stops)Their feedback helped me refine my designs, properly organize elements, and also ensure responsiveness across designs. 

  • Find A Niche: When starting, it’s okay to be a generalist at your initial learning phase so you can have a deep understanding of Framer’s features, templates, components,  etc, but what’s more profitable (who doesn’t want the money?🤑 ) is niching down.  For me, I noticed a lot of developers and designers craved sleek, customizable, modern portfolios. So, I decided to focus on creating visually stunning portfolio templates. Did I mention this was how I sold my first framer template? 😀

There’s more that can be said, but if you follow these three steps you are well on your way to hacking Framer and becoming a pro at it. 

Keep practicing, always seek feedback, and carve out your niche on Framer. It will pay off. 

I’m just a reply away if you need my help in any way. That’s all from me.

Talk Soon. 

Ozenua,
