About Framer
Framer is a comprehensive web design and publishing platform that allows teams to design and ship professional websites without needing a developer for the handoff process. It bridges the gap between high-fidelity design tools and production-ready code, offering a canvas-based interface that feels familiar to UI designers while generating optimized React-based code under the hood. The platform includes a robust set of built-in features such as a dynamic Content Management System (CMS), advanced animation capabilities, and localized SEO tools. By hosting websites on their own infrastructure, Framer ensures high performance and speed, directly competing with traditional CMS platforms and other modern no-code builders. It is widely used by startups and design-led companies to iterate quickly on landing pages and brand sites.
