What is Framer?
Framer is a no-code website builder from the Netherlands. It is an all-in-one design tool for design, prototyping, and building websites. It allows designers and developers to intuitively create animations, interactions, and responsive designs in a no-code or low-code environment, making it popular internationally.
Main features include the following.
1. Website Building without Code
With Framer, you can create beautiful websites intuitively using drag-and-drop operations without having to write code. Not only design, but it also supports hosting and publishing all at once.
2. High-Quality Animations and Interactions
You can easily add interactions and animations like scrolling and hovering. This is particularly useful when you want to add movement to your design or try out rich UIs.
3. Real-Time Collaboration
Like Figma and Miro, multiple people can work simultaneously. Designers and team members can make edits and provide feedback in real time. There is also a comment feature and chat functionality with a slash (/).

4. Code Features (Code Components / Code Overrides)
While it is a tool for designers, you can also add custom actions and features using React-based code. This means it can handle not only no-code projects but also more complex ones.
5. Easy to Publish
By pressing the publish button, you can instantly publish the website you created with Framer to the world. You can also connect your own domain, and SEO settings such as titles and descriptions using HTML tags and meta tags are easy.
