Framer hosts websites on its own infrastructure and manages DNS for domains connected through the platform. Adding a Trust Center requires one CNAME record — no custom code components and no frame overrides.
Where Framer manages DNS
When you connect a custom domain to a Framer project, Framer may manage DNS (if you transferred or registered the domain through Framer) or you may point an external domain to Framer using their nameservers. If Framer manages your DNS, add the record there. If your DNS is managed externally (Cloudflare, Google Domains, Namecheap), add it at your registrar.
Adding the CNAME record
In your Framer dashboard:
- Open your project and go to Site Settings → Custom Domain
- Look for the DNS Management or advanced DNS section
- Add a new CNAME record:
Type: CNAME
Name: trust
Value: trustcenter.proIf Framer doesn't expose DNS management directly (common when DNS is managed externally), log in to your domain registrar and add the record there.
Framer and Cloudflare
Many Framer developers route their domain through Cloudflare for performance. If that's your setup, add the CNAME record in Cloudflare's DNS dashboard with proxy status set to DNS only (grey cloud icon). Cloudflare's proxying can interfere with Trust Center's SSL certificate provisioning.
Why this fits the Framer workflow
Framer is built for designers who want pixel-perfect control without code. Adding compliance pages via custom components is messy and hard to maintain. A DNS-based approach keeps your Framer project clean — your trust page lives on its own subdomain and is completely independent of your Framer site.
Adding a footer link in Framer
In the Framer editor, select your footer component, add a text or link element, and set the URL to https://trust.yourdomain.com. If your footer is a shared component across pages, the link will appear everywhere automatically.
