Framer
Framer is a visual website builder and publishing platform oriented toward designers creating responsive marketing sites and landing pages. It combines freeform layout, components, breakpoints, animation, content management, localization, analytics, forms, hosting, and collaborative editing, with workflows that feel familiar to interface design tools. It is well suited to startups and creative teams launching polished campaign pages quickly, while highly customized application behavior, complex data requirements, or strict enterprise infrastructure may call for a fuller development stack.
What it does
Framer is a web design and publishing tool that lets marketing and design teams build and ship production websites without hand-coding. It combines a freeform, Figma-like canvas with responsive layout controls, a built-in CMS, animations, and one-click hosting, so landing pages and full sites go from design to live URL quickly. Recent AI features generate page sections, copy, and localization, while built-in SEO controls, analytics, and A/B testing support performance work. Because it publishes fast, optimized pages on managed infrastructure, marketers can spin up campaign sites and iterate on them without waiting on engineering. It fits startups, designers, and growth teams that want design control and speed for marketing sites and landing pages rather than a developer-heavy stack.
Where it fits
Framer sits at the website and landing-page layer, turning designs into live, SEO-ready pages without a developer handoff.

Beginner notes
- Set page titles, meta descriptions, and OG images in the SEO panel before publishing so pages index well.
