About Framer
Framer is a no-code website builder aimed at designers and small teams. It combines a visual canvas similar to design tools with a publishing engine, so the artboard you arrange on screen is the same one that ships to production. Layouts use auto-layout and breakpoints to adapt cleanly across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
The product is geared toward marketing sites, landing pages, portfolios, and content-led sites, with a built-in CMS for collections like blog posts and case studies. Animations, interactions, and effects are configured visually rather than written in code.
Framer hosts the published sites on its own infrastructure with a global CDN, custom domains, SSL, and analytics. It also supports custom code and React-based components for teams that need to extend the visual editor with their own logic.
