Framer CMS explained: collections, limits and how to plan your content

Short answer: Framer CMS stores repeated content, like blog posts, case studies or team members, in collections. Each collection has fields you define, and Framer can generate a page for every item, with its own URL and SEO settings. As of November 2026, the Basic plan includes 2 collections and the Pro plan includes 10, so planning your structure up front matters.

How does Framer CMS work?

✓ Collections are content types, for example Blog or Case Studies.

✓ Fields are the parts of each item: title, slug, image, date, category, formatted text and so on.

✓ Items are the entries, for example one blog post.

✓ Collection lists show items anywhere on your site, sorted and filtered.

✓ Detail pages are templates that create one page per item, like /blog/my-post.

What are the Framer CMS limits?

Limits depend on your site plan. As of November 2026:

✓ Basic ($10/month yearly): 2 CMS collections and up to 1,000 items.

✓ Pro ($30/month yearly): 10 CMS collections and up to 2,500 items.

✓ Enterprise: custom limits for very large sites.

Framer updates its plans regularly, so check the current numbers on Framer's pricing page before you plan a large build.

How should you structure your collections?

Use a collection only for content that repeats and benefits from its own page. Good candidates:

✓ Blog posts and guides.

✓ Case studies or projects.

✓ Products or catalog items without online checkout.

✓ Locations, job openings or team members.

Content that appears once, like your services list or FAQs on one page, usually works better as static sections or components. On the Basic plan, I typically use one collection for the blog and one for whatever drives leads, like case studies or products. That's exactly how this site is built: one collection for the blog and one for my templates.

Which fields does a blog post need for SEO?

✓ Title, used as the H1.

✓ Slug, short and readable.

✓ Excerpt, used on cards and as a fallback description.

✓ Meta description, up to 160 characters, bound to the page's SEO description.

✓ Cover image, also used as the social share image.

✓ Category, for grouping and internal links.

✓ Published and Updated dates, shown on the page and in structured data.

✓ Body, as formatted text with real H2 and H3 headings.

Can you import content into Framer CMS?

Yes. You can import CSV files, paste content, or use plugins to bring content over from other platforms. For a WordPress or Webflow migration, export your posts, clean them up, import them into Framer collections, then check every slug and add redirects where URLs change.
