Framer
Design and publish websites with real code output, advanced interactions, and CMS capabilities
Why Designers Love Framer
Framer lets designers create real websites with the same precision they use in Figma. The result is websites that look exactly as designed—with stunning interactions.
My Experience
I recommend Framer for marketing sites and portfolios where design quality matters more than complex functionality. The animations and interactions are unmatched by other no-code tools.
What Makes Framer Stand Out
-
Design Precision - Framer respects design intentions. Layouts, spacing, and typography work exactly as you’d expect from a design tool.
-
Interactions & Animation - Scroll animations, hover effects, page transitions—create polished interactions without writing JavaScript.
-
Real Code - Unlike pure visual builders, Framer generates clean code. Developers can work with the output if needed.
-
Built-in CMS - Manage content without external tools. Perfect for blogs, portfolios, and marketing sites that need regular updates.
Where Framer Falls Short
Complex e-commerce requires other tools. CMS customization has limits. The learning curve exists for anything beyond simple pages.
Who Should Use Framer
- Designers wanting to publish their work directly
- Agencies building marketing sites
- Creatives with portfolios
- Startups needing polished landing pages
