Framer
A visual web building platform that allows designers to design, animate, and publish high-performance websites directly from a freeform canvas, without writing code.
What it is
Framer bridges the gap between a design tool and a website builder. It feels like designing in Figma, but the output is a live, highly optimized React website. It is particularly famous for its incredibly smooth, complex animation capabilities (powered by the Framer Motion library) and built-in AI generation tools.
When you would use it
You use Framer when you want to bypass the development phase entirely and publish a top-tier, highly animated website directly from your visual design canvas.
Common operations
- Visually building and instantly deploying a highly animated marketing website.
- Generating a complete landing page layout from a text prompt using Framer AI.
