Framer
Framer is a website builder for designers with an AI agent that creates and edits pages, copy and CMS content directly on a visual canvas, then publishes.
About this tool
Framer is a no-code website builder popular with designers because it works like a design tool: layouts, typography, components, breakpoints and effects are all controlled on a visual canvas, and the site publishes directly from there. Hosting, a content delivery network, analytics, site search, redirects and custom domains are included in its site plans.
Its AI agent works inside the project rather than producing a separate draft. You describe a site, page or change, and the agent creates editable sections, copy and visuals, or restructures existing layouts, while you remain free to switch back to manual editing on the canvas whenever you like. The agent can also create CMS collections and populate content. AI features consume credits, which plans include and which can be topped up.
What you can do
Conversational AI agent
Requests such as restyling a hero section are applied directly to editable pages in your project.
Design canvas
Responsive layouts, components, typography and animation effects are adjusted visually, like in a design tool.
Built-in CMS
Collections hold structured content, and the agent can create and populate them for blogs or directories.
Hosting and publishing
Plans include custom domains, a global CDN, analytics, redirects and a staging step before publishing.
Who is it for?
- A designer builds and publishes a portfolio without handing off to a developer.
- A startup launches a marketing site and lets the content team edit the CMS directly.
- A team restyles several landing pages by giving the agent one instruction.
Before you choose
AI agent work is metered in credits, with add-on pricing for more; estimate usage if you plan to lean on the agent heavily.
Pages, CMS items and bandwidth have plan limits with paid add-ons, so check them against your site’s size and traffic.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Framer for free?
Yes. The free plan publishes on a Framer subdomain and includes AI credits to try the agent. Custom domains require a paid site plan.
Does Framer include hosting?
Yes. Framer hosts published sites with a CDN, and plans cover custom domains, bandwidth with overage alerts, and analytics.
Is Framer only for designers?
It suits designers best, but editors can update the CMS and use on-page editing without touching layouts, depending on their role.
