The CMS — Ciketo Framer
In Ciketo, services, trade lanes, clients, testimonials, posts and legal texts live in Framer’s CMS: add an item, and every list and page that shows it updates.
The general guide is Edit the CMS; this page covers Ciketo’s collections. Open
the CMS from the top-left menu → CMS (Alt + 2). The left panel lists the collections; the Fields tab shows the
fields of the selected collection.

Adding a service
Section titled “Adding a service”- Select Services, then + (top left of the table).
- Fill in the fields. The Slug becomes the address: lower case, words joined by
-, no brackets. - Add the image, the introduction with its four figures, and the four benefits. Pick the service’s lanes in Lane; add a missing lane to the Lane collection first.
- Set the Status to Live and publish the site.
The service gets its own page and a line in the sitemap. Then check these places:
- /services lists every service by itself, numbered in table order;
- The accordion on Home shows exactly six: the Part/Service component holds six cards, Service 01 to Service 06, and each is a collection list of one item (Start at 0, 1, 2… Limit to 1), with its number (“01”…) typed in the card. A seventh service doesn’t appear there; showing it means a seventh card (Start at 6) in every variant of Part/Service and a variant in which that card is open. With fewer than six services, delete the cards you don’t need;
- the footer’s Services column: its links (Ocean Freight, Air Freight, Road Freight, All Services) are typed into Section/Footer; change them if your services change;
- the shipping methods of the forms: Ocean Freight, Air Freight, Road Freight and Multimodal are typed into each form (Forms).
Adding a lane, client, testimonial, post or legal text
Section titled “Adding a lane, client, testimonial, post or legal text”- Lane: a title, the two ports, the transit time, the average, the frequency and a photo. Then pick it in the Lane field of every service that runs it. The first lane of the table is the “New Lane” card in the Home hero.
- Client: a name and a logo. It joins the logo ticker on Home and About; the hero’s “Enterprise accounts” card names the first four clients of the table.
- Testimonial: a name, a title, a company, a portrait, the rating, the heading and the quote. The section on Home is laid out for four portraits: check it on all three breakpoints after adding or removing one.
- Blog post: as above, with an image, a category and an excerpt. Home shows the first three posts; “Other Post” shows up to three of the same category.
- Legal text: a title, a slug, the date and the text. Its page appears by itself; link it from the footer (Section/Footer), where the legal links are typed.
The pages of the services, the posts and the legal texts each use one design: their CMS page in Pages. Change that design once and every item follows.
Options
Section titled “Options”Category (Blog) is an option field: open the field in Fields to add, rename or remove an option. Renaming an option renames it on every item. Rating (Testimonial) is an option field too: pick each client’s rating from it.
Content that is not in the CMS
Section titled “Content that is not in the CMS”The rest is regular content on the pages and in the components. Select the text or image on the canvas and edit it:
- the Home hero: its title, text, the “98.5% on time” tag, the booking note and the figures (the client names and the lane come from the CMS);
- “Why Choose Us” on Home and “Who we are” on About, each with four figures typed on its page;
- the help card beside the services on Home: the photo, the phone, the e-mail and the person;
- the FAQ on Home: each question and its answer are set on its own card;
- the photo beside the key benefits on the service pages, the same for every service;
- the About page’s title and the leader’s message;
- the Contact page: the title, the address, phone, e-mail and business hours;
- the components: “How it works” (Section/How it Work, with the steps in Part/Step), the industries (Section/Industries), the call to action (Section/CTA), the quote form (Section/Qoutes) and the footer (Section/Footer).
