Framer
A design-first website builder where you design and publish the real site.
Framer is a modern, design-first website builder that lets you design and publish a live, hosted website — with best-in-class animation, a built-in CMS, and no separate development handoff. It blurs the line between design tool and the real product.
Framer is especially strong for startup marketing sites and launches: fast to build, polished by default, and editable by the team after launch. It's the platform I specialise in.
Key characteristics
- A no-code/low-code tool for designing and publishing production websites visually.
- Combines a design canvas with a CMS, animations, SEO controls and hosting.
- Supports custom React code components for unlimited extensibility.
- Popular for marketing sites, landing pages and portfolios shipped fast.
Example
A founder designs a launch site in Framer with scroll animations and a blog CMS, then publishes to a custom domain the same day — no separate developer handoff.
Frequently asked questions
Is Framer good for SEO?
Yes. Framer gives control over meta tags, slugs, headings, alt text, sitemaps and performance, and serves fast static pages — all the fundamentals needed to rank well.
What is the difference between Framer and Webflow?
Both are no-code site builders. Framer leans toward speed, a design-tool feel and rich animation; Webflow offers deeper structural control and a more established CMS. The right pick depends on the project.
Need this done, not just defined?
I design and build it — Framer sites, product UI/UX, and more.
