Framer Reviews & Product Details

The ease of desining in figma and publishing in Framer is what keeps me a loyal customer and affiliate of Framer.

Animations and app features such as found in bubble, if they had this, framer would be the designers mecca!

Timing to market. Simple MVP websites.

Framer is extremely intuitive if you're already familiar with Figma. The community and support is exceptional. The team ships fast.

There are occasional bugs and issues, but it's very easy to get guidance through the community channel.

Framer is the go-to website builder for all products from our venture studio, as well as our own marketing websites.

The flexibility of the platform allows you to do all kinds of customizations whether you're a developer or designer. You're not locked into a box like some of the other no-code services like webflow or squarespace

I wish there was more help from the community / support. I think this will change over time as more people use the platform or more resources are added on their forums

It's easy to use and you can quickly make changes when you need to. I don't have to go through a lengthy process of deploying changes or adding new pages. This especially great for one-off landing pages that are tied to campaigns

Prototyping interactions is fun and simple.

Not so great to start a project from scratch. Felt like I'd still need other apps to get the job done from start to finish.

It's an easy way to prototype interactions and cut down on time between iterations and testing with users.

- Allows interactions to be functionally defined through a robust scripting language - Easy to quickly visualize results

- Learning curve for beginners, albeit well worth the investment of time

One of the best tools for presenting the nuances of interactions. More than design comps, Framer provides developers with high-fidelity, functioning interactions.

It's a great tool to convert your amazing web designs straight into actual working websites without the hassle of coding. It saves a lot of time and effort plus the interface is super user friendly. While working in Figma with UI designs, this tool is really helpful to create stunning landing pages.

There's nothing as such to dislike about it. The only issue I faced is their website. It kind of slow and could be better and smooth for their end visitors.

1. Saving a lot of time that I would probably spend on coding. 2. Its integration with figma is a plus because I can directly use it with figma. I don't need to use a separate application. 3. It gives creative freedom while working on designs.

The Figma plugin allows me to convert my designs to code seamlessly. This is incredible as a starting point when creating a Framer website

Some parts can be buggy and will need a little bit of manual intervention when using the Figma Plugin.

Being able to prototype without the requirement of engineers allows me to demonstrate and validate the value of designs. This is incredibly useful in an agile workspace where you are required to build and test almost every sprint.

I love prototyping interactions and animations. Framer is absolutely the best way to do this.

Live demo can be a bit slow and a big laggy, esp when trying to screen capture.

Prototype to facilitate design presentations to engineers/PMs Giving them a moving visual helps so much

Prebuilt animations in framer and triggers for animation.

Scrolling interaction and prototype linking

Helps to create effective User interface design in a fast and efficient way.

Framer makes it possible for UX designers to showcase their design in an easier way. It is really good for professionals to express their ideas and support the ideas by really clickable and feasible solutions. Overall it is really helpful for designers to communicate with developers or product team.

It required a lot of time input to learn how to user Framer. I had some basic programming skills like HTML, Javascript and even a bit of Python, but it was still difficult for me to dive into the coding part. The tutorials help just basic ones and I wish there are more intermediate examples/templates available.

It's mostly validating ideas and showing that the design is codable. Sometimes developers push back the ideas, as designers, you need to validate that they were really feasible ones. The application is like a bridge between designers and developers that help them build their common ground.

I like being able to do animations for developers. It's much easier to make it in Framer sometimes than try to explain it.

I find it hard when I get stuck in coding to be able to do what I want. I don't have a programming background and find it difficult.

Animations.

Framer is easy to use and awesome tool for desinging creative websites in a matter of minutes. Its integration with Figma allows us to copy paste our Figma designs into Framer.

Framer is awesome tool but miss few modern features

Framer allows us to design creative websites in a metter of minutes

Framer is a easy to use and a fantastic tool to design creative websites with no hassle. It's figma inntegration is super awesome which alows uus to copy paste figma designs into framer.

Framer is super fantatsic but sometimes it is hard to implement few designs for beginners as compared to othr tools.

Framer helps us to roll out creative websites for our cllients.

As a UX/UI Designer heavily involved in product prototyping, Framer has been an indispensable tool in my arsenal. What stands out most about Framer is its robust set of features, especially its ease of creating interactive prototypes. The ability to seamlessly transition from design to code using its intuitive interface is a game-changer. The wide array of pre-built components and the flexibility to create custom ones have significantly expedited my prototyping process, enabling me to explore various design possibilities efficiently.

One aspect that could be improved upon is the learning curve for beginners. While Framer offers extensive functionalities, it might be slightly daunting for newcomers or those transitioning from other design tools. Additionally, certain advanced features might require a bit more documentation or tutorials for users to fully harness their potential.

Being able to create complex animations and micro-interactions effortlessly has allowed me to bring my designs to life, providing stakeholders and clients with a tangible feel of the end product. The real-time collaboration features have also streamlined teamwork, facilitating smoother interactions and feedback exchanges among team members, regardless of their geographic location.

The speed to deliver or have an awesome site online and live with no much coding work and not many resources involved.

Still..some technical knowledge is needed. Not a "dislike" i guess but there's a limitation in terms of who can use the tool effectively and get really impactful results.

We are capable of having landing pages and sites quick, put them live in no time and able to validate business models faster. Also building landing pages and websites faster for clients that need speed and quality on the output.

From a practical standpoint, I love the ability to use the latest and greatest widgets, code snippets, npm packages (on github, codepen or sandboxes anywhere) in my designs and prototypes. From the standpoint of design systems and prototyping, once you get your head around its way of working, it gradually improves the fidelity of your designs in handoff to production (if you take the time to work with and understand flexbox and CSS properties). It took us about a year to fully transition from Sketch, Zeplin and Abstract. Along the way you come up many ways to use production code in your design system and vice versa. It gets your dev team collaborating with designers better, as each are learning to speak the other's language (a lot more than before) No coding is required to put Framer into practice, but there is a learning curve (as you might expect with a transition to anything new - Figma, Marvel, Webflow, Invsion, etc) there will be some tradeoffs likely with your existing workflow. I feel I am better for the learning curve, as I now understand responsive web design and the capabilities of CSS / React far better and ultimately the process adjustments have resulted in massive time savings and efficiency. I actually look forward to my job each day exploring the endless extensibility of React in Framer to improve our design process and productivity.

They have made ventures into adjacent markets like CMS, Web Publishing and Animation, which are very much welcomed... but without completing core needs to establish Framer as a designer's tool of choice. My hit list would be: better component library management, design systems (for large scale sites) across projects, teams, and sites, and, icon library integrations. A generic icon component the user could set up themselves without code would be most ideal. SVG and support for basic editing is very limited.

Framer tries to solve many problems. It solves prototyping 100%, design systems 80%, interaction design 100%, graphic design 50%. Once you have a design system in place, it helps us quickly deliver hi-fi mockups of new features to teams internally. Having a prototype for support, sales and end users to play with helps attract and retain customers in an enterprise setting, and keeps the conversation and feedback rolling.

I love how easy it Is to use. Every element has been has been thought out with original ways to abstract problems other no code websites make very difficult to work with.

Still has work to expand on the full capabilities that Webflow has since there are abstractions made in Framer.

I'm using it for all web design prototyping and publishing.

You can create fantastic websites with a lot of previously designed patterns, that help you to do awesome designs and trasitions that would take hours to make for people who don't have code knowledge.

I think that it would be very helpfull to have a complete access to the code and could share it with the developer. Also they have to improve the relationship between figma and framer.

They are solving graphic designers life with this software, we not necessarily need to know about code, and this program makes it very easy, and don't limit our creativity.

Framer has been really easy to use, but the experience has been exponentially rewarding. As with any tool, there is a learning curve but for those with experience in Figma, it'll feel rather similary with Framer.

Some minor bugs experienced from time to time but nothing that effects my work on Framer.

Framer has allowed me to design and publish websites at ease without the need for any major coding skills.

Framer is the perfect tool for anyone looking to go from 0-1 with their website regardless of experience level. Their interface, YouTube tutorials, and community makes learning both basic and more advanced features a breeze.

There is nothing for me to dislike about Framer, but since they recently pivoted to a web design tool, they're a relatively new product. Because of that, there are some features missing, but I also know that they're working hard and shipping updates like no other company. So whatever I, or any other designer in their community is missing, I'm sure will be adressed soon enough.

Framer let's me design freely on their canvas as if I was designing something in Figma or any other design tool with the exception that the design can be published to a live domain at the click of a button. No hassle importing design over from other tools, even though that's also easily done should you prefer such a workflow.
