Host a Framer Site on Vercel

Deploy it

Unzip the export first, so the commands below run from inside the folder that contains index.html.

Vercel — deploy

npm i -g vercel
cd my-framer-export
vercel --prod

Without the terminal: vercel.com/new → Deploy → drag the unzipped export folder

The vercel.json you need

Force clean URLs so /about resolves to about.html, matching the paths Framer published.

vercel.json

{
  "cleanUrls": true,
  "trailingSlash": false
}

The thing that breaks on Vercel

A Framer export contains .html files at the top level. Without cleanUrls, Vercel serves /about.html but returns 404 on /about — so every internal link Framer wrote breaks. Set cleanUrls before you point the domain, not after.

Custom domain

Added under Project → Settings → Domains. Vercel issues the certificate automatically; you point an A record at 76.76.21.21 or a CNAME at cname.vercel-dns.com.

What it costs

The Hobby plan covers personal and non-commercial projects with automatic HTTPS and preview deployments. Commercial use is expected to move to a paid plan.

Best fit

Anyone who wants the closest thing to Framer's own publish button, with previews on every change.

Before you move the domain

1. Deploy to the host's own subdomain and open every page from the nav.
2. Visit a URL that does not exist and confirm you get a real 404, not a 200.
3. Submit any form on the site — exported forms post nowhere until you rewire them.
4. Only then move DNS, and keep the Framer plan active for one more cycle as a rollback.

Questions

›Can I host a Framer site on Vercel for free?

The Hobby plan covers personal and non-commercial projects with automatic HTTPS and preview deployments. Commercial use is expected to move to a paid plan.

›Do I need a build step to deploy a Framer export to Vercel?

No. A Framer export is already built output, so the build command stays empty. Vercel serves the files as they are.
