How it works

Design With Frank is a home design consultancy that helps people design and build better homes. We offer easy-to-use templates, building guides, and educational content to make homebuilding more accessible.


Our name originates from the renowned fable “The Three Little pigs” about three pigs who build houses of different materials. Frank is the practical pig who strategically builds his house out of bricks and saves his brothers in the end.
