Framer
Design and publish production websites visually.
About Framer
Framer is a web-based design tool that lets designers build and publish fully responsive, production-ready websites without handing off to a developer. It combines a visual canvas similar to Figma with real React components under the hood, so interactions and animations behave exactly as they will in the browser. Framer includes a built-in CMS for dynamic content, localisation support, SEO controls, and one-click publishing to Framer's global CDN. The free tier allows publishing to a Framer subdomain with a watermark. It is particularly popular among product designers, solo founders, and agencies building portfolio sites and landing pages.
