About

What is Framer?

Framer is a design-first website builder and prototyping tool for creating polished web experiences with CMS and interaction support. It uniquely bridges the gap between design and production by letting designers build and publish real websites — complete with animations, scroll effects, CMS-driven content, and SEO — directly from a Figma-like canvas. With React component support and a growing AI features suite, Framer has become the preferred tool for designers and creative agencies who want to ship beautiful, high-performance websites without engineers.
