Design and ship your dream site

Design and ship marketing sites on one canvas: React under the hood, CMS for content, hosting included.

Framer is the design tool turned site builder: a canvas editor with real React under the hood, animations and interactions configured visually, CMS collections for structured content, and hosting with fast delivery included. It targets teams that want design-quality marketing pages without a developer in the loop.

Why founders use it: the gap between a design mock and the shipped page disappears. What the designer draws is what the visitor gets, with responsive breakpoints, smooth scroll animations and publishing in one click. For a product's marketing surface, where iteration speed on copy and layout is the real bottleneck, that loop matters more than hand-tuned markup.

A realistic setup: design tokens and components for consistency, CMS collections for blog posts and changelogs, and a custom domain on the included hosting. Developers can extend with code components when a specific widget is needed.

Trade-offs: content sites are the sweet spot; application logic does not belong here, and export to another stack is not the model. Pricing scales with page views and seats. Compare with Webflow for a larger ecosystem and deeper CMS, and with Astro plus a CMS when engineering-owned is acceptable.

Who it's for

Designers who want to ship polished, animated marketing sites straight from a canvas.
