Compare Framer with other popular tools in the same category.
It supports Figma to Framer plugin, so it was easy to build based on Figma design files. Framer also has add-ons like Mailchimp, Hubspot where I can build forms and collect user inputs.
Sometimes its loading speed is slow; I have to refresh it on and on. Getting annoyed about it recently. But other Web Builders are also slow and comparing to Wix it's much faster.
Framer helps SMB companies to build landing pages much faster and to edit the page much easier. Our design or messages change frequently, and Framer helps us to reflect it in time.
Of all the low-code builders out there, Framer is one of the best I've used. The default templates are beautiful, the UI is easy to use and make sense of, and it seems powerful enough for most use cases.
It can be complicated to get everything looking right across different device sizes. A few times I've found myself with out-of-sync states and I"m not sure why that is or how to fix it. I also find it difficult to get things looking "exactly" right, especially when it comes to dealing with Grids.
We used Framer to build a great-looking company landing page in the span of a weekend. We needed to get something out he door quickly, and Framer allowed me to do that more effectively than any other tool.
Since Framer Sites was launched and Framer turned from a sole prototyping app to website builder it made me want to learn web design, since the designing experience is so smooth. You can design, draw, apply code and publish website in a single tool. It is so much more convenient than other solutions that I am familiar with (Wordpress alone or with Elementor)
The development of the software seems chaotic right now and Framer made a total strategy pivot (from prototyping to website building) that might have left experienced users confused. I just hope that prototyping features will remain rather than disappear over time.
Advanced visual website design (with the possibility to apply code snippets and elements), prototyping and publishing in a single tool. It saves a lot of hustle with constant switching between various apps that were previously necessary in web design stack in old fashioned design-build and code cycle.
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
When you have a prototype up and running, the code output is what makes the difference with framer. It bridges a gap between front end and developers. This means that devs get a more precise idea of what you're attempting to design with motion especially.
As a UI designer with just basic HTML experience, the learning curve is kind of steep. Also, this is very much for designers who have a solid grasp of front end coding and css concepts. It's also written in a language of it's own that's supposed to be easier to pick up- but how easy it is to pick up is going to depend on the designer.
Hoping to find a solution that communicates motion and design intention more precisely to a development team. It really does help developers understand the math of what you as a desinger are trying to accomplish in a specific way.
Flexability, design of Studio software, comunity
Steep learning curve, time consuming, lack of web support
Prototyping of interfaces for web applications. I am picked Framer for learning javascript on cool design examples. In feature I do not plan to use Framer because of lack of web support
What I like the best about Framer is its ability to create an extremely accurate prototype through code. This allows the developers to understand exactly what interactions you're trying to get across.
I dislike that it is completely based on writing code. This limits many people who do not have the ability to write code.
Benefits I've realized are the ability to share with clients and developers exactly what I'm looking for in design animation.
Framer gave us interacting prototype that help designer to go beyond static design that simulate with real user interactions and its most extensive things is its custmoaziable features to create uniques and engaging design that gave optimum quality of outputs.the best thing in this colabarating features which help to share insightful design with other members also
Despite it is user friendly it has steep learning curve that causes user to learn more about learning curve and it cost more feature to unlocked for which we have to unlock its premium features which i think it too costly.
Framer gave me wide amout of solutions like to build an website and web blog without using any complicated codes and its interactive prototyping things making a creative problem solving in the dynamic design and user interactiins
Very useful platform to make a website, easy to learn, can make creative elements and interactions, and is very useful for designers who are looking to make their own portfolio
Websites made in Framer takes a lot of time to load on mobile data, domains are long, webflow is better in terms of learning the software, photos are sometimes difficult to upload
Framer is very good for making prototypes to present in a team, it also helps to show developers the interaction we're looking for in the website and can be well implemented
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.
