#What is This Course?

"Website Launch" is a free, text-based tutorial (likely 5–10 minutes reading time, structured as a concise article in the "How to Use Framer Templates" series #10) on the Framer Marketplace, created by Adam Sebesta (@adam-sebesta). This framer resource serves as the capstone step for anyone building with Framer—guiding you from finished prototype to live production site. The tutorial covers essential launch tasks: final checks, domain linking, publishing settings, performance tweaks, and post-launch considerations, using Framer's native publishing and hosting features. Presented as a practical checklist-style guide with explanations and tips, it ensures your site goes live smoothly, securely, and optimized. No video runtime or explicit duplicatable project is noted (though Adam's tutorials often pair with templates), but it's designed for direct application in your own Framer projects. It's invaluable for designer-developers ready to ship—turning "almost done" into confidently live with professional polish and minimal risk.
