Framer

Framer is a web-based design and prototyping platform used for creating interactive user interfaces and websites. Originally built as a prototyping tool, Framer has evolved into a complete website builder that supports visual design, animations, and code-based components. It enables designers and developers to build and publish fully responsive sites with real-time previews and built-in hosting.

Framer’s standout features include drag-and-drop UI creation, smooth animations, and support for React-based code blocks. This allows teams to go from design to production-ready code quickly, making it ideal for startups and product teams. It’s especially popular among UX/UI designers, product designers, and frontend developers who value speed and interactivity.

While Framer is powerful, it may have a steep learning curve for those new to code-based workflows, and advanced features are only available with paid plans. Alternatives like Figma, Webflow, and V0.dev are also commonly used for similar purposes.
