What is Framer?

Framer is a modern website builder designed for designers who want complete creative freedom combined with fast performance. Originally a prototyping tool, Framer evolved into a full website platform that generates clean, optimised code and ships sites with excellent Core Web Vitals scores out of the box. Framer uses a component-based design system similar to Figma, making it popular among product designers and startups. It supports CMS content, custom code, animations, and integrations with tools like Airtable and Notion. For agencies and freelancers working with design-forward clients, Framer enables publishing visually impressive websites significantly faster than traditional development. It is particularly strong for landing pages, portfolios, and startup websites where brand impression matters most.
