Overview

Framer is an AI-assisted website builder that enables users to design and build responsive websites from prompts and designs. A professional design agent, native to the canvas, works directly on the site to generate and refine layouts in place. This design agent facilitates seamless design iterations and allows for the connection and control of various external agents, including AI tools like Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Users can also run their content management system (CMS) with an AI agent that sets up, organizes, and updates the entire CMS, connecting it directly to the canvas for synchronized content and design. Framer supports the creation of custom layouts, compositions, and designs with the aid of AI, and allows for seamless integration with other tools and platforms to streamline web development and deployment.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. AI site and layout generation just works and strong design controls and animations. but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Pretty happy overall. Integrated CMS for dynamic content just works and aI prompts speed up initial page creation. Pricing can add up for larger projects can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Drag-and-drop visual editor is exactly what I needed, and built-in hosting, CMS, and SEO settings. I do wish pricing can add up for larger projects, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is drag-and-drop visual editor — handled better than most — and responsive layouts without writing code. Advanced features have a learning curve is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Q&A

Should I use code to integrate tokens or build design systems for my team?

No. While many designers dream about a deeper design and production integration with code, Framer is not currently setup to get great results for that use case.

Asked by Carlos Mendoza · Oct 31, 2025

Should I add state management to let components communicate?

This may be alright in some cases, but if you need to do advanced logic, you are often better off with a real React application. Both Framer and your state management will try and control components, and conflicts can cause subtle bugs.

Asked by Rina Desai · Oct 29, 2025

Should I use external code libraries with Framer?

Framer can import any ES Module based code. But the code itself generally is only useful in Framer if it’s made for Framer. So importing large libraries that did not have Framer as the main use case in mind will likely not yield the expected results.

Asked by Ines Zeković · Oct 27, 2025

Can I import npm packages?

Importing npm packages is currently an experimental feature. Most packages typically don’t work unless they were built specifically for Framer. Some projects with multiple npm imports may run into errors with adding multiple npm dependencies, as sub-dependency conflicts can occur.

Asked by Isabela Almeida · Sep 29, 2025

Can I import Framer components into my React application directly?

Framer components are React Components based on ES Modules. That means that you can technically import them into other projects, but in reality there are quite a few hurdles to overcome, so we only recommend this for testing or if you really know what you are doing. We had experimented with making the experience easier for this with a beta feature called Handshake. But as this relied on the Next.js compiler which is currently being rewritten and browser features that aren’t broadly supported yet, you should consider it very experimental for some time.
