Independent designer & developer
About Elliot Li
Elliot Li is an independent designer & developer with 10 years of experience crafting software products and web experiences — now building premium Framer and Astro templates.
Background
Before templates, I spent a decade building software products end to end — the kind with real users, real data, and real edge cases:
- A social network — a consumer product where feeds, profiles, real-time interactions and moderation all had to feel instant and stay trustworthy as the network grew.
- A collaborative content platform — multiplayer editing in the spirit of Slite or Slate: a block-based content model with presence, permissions, versioning and conflict-free sync between editors.
- A website builder — a visual editor, reusable components, and a publishing pipeline — the same instincts I now bring to Framer and Astro templates.
That background is why my templates are opinionated about structure, why the CMS wiring is real rather than decorative, and why I sweat the details that only show up once a site is live.

What buyers say
“We launched our new booking site over a single weekend. The occasion layouts mapped exactly to how our clients think — weddings, subscriptions, walk-ins. Online orders doubled in the first month.”
“The quote-first structure is exactly how my customers buy. Photo form, fixed prices, reviews above the fold — I stopped paying for directory listings within weeks.”
“Clinical credibility without feeling clinical. Patients mention the site at their first appointment — it answers their questions before they walk in.”
“The menu pages alone were worth it. Reservations skew noticeably toward Friday and Saturday now, and private-dining enquiries tripled.”
“I buy templates to reskin for clients, and this is the cleanest Framer build I have worked with. Tokens, styles, breakpoints — everything behaves exactly as documented.”
“Destinations, itineraries and inquiry flow out of the box. What would have been a six-week custom build shipped in days.”
How I work
Every template is designed, built and tested by me before it ships, and rankings here are never paid placements. The fullquality standards spell out the review methodology, update policy, and independence disclosures.
