I used to think finishing a Framer template meant:

Design → Build → Responsive → Publish.

Working on Athana made me add another step:

How easy is this going to be for someone else to maintain?

That question completely changed how I built the template.

For Athana, I used Framer’s CMS List feature to move repetitive content out of the canvas. Services, process steps, testimonials, FAQs, and other repeated content can now be managed from their respective Lists.

Instead of editing every card individually, you can update the content in the CMS and have it automatically appear in the corresponding section on the Home page.

I also reorganized the components around this approach so the design stays consistent while the content remains flexible.

It took some rethinking of how I normally build templates, but Athana is now complete and live on the Framer Marketplace.
