Framer

What it is

It is a web-based tool for creating responsive websites without manually writing code, designed for designers, developers, and startups. The platform features a visual canvas for layout, a built-in CMS for content management, and AI agents that help generate designs and code. Users can handle everything from prototyping to publishing in a single interface, ensuring consistency across desktop and mobile views.

How it helps you

It allows users to bypass the traditional handoff between design and development by letting them publish directly from the visual canvas. The AI agents automate time-consuming tasks like creating layout variations or structuring CMS data, which speeds up the build process. This helps users quickly iterate on designs and launch fully functional, responsive sites without managing external hosting.
