Framer

Framer transforms how designers and developers build websites with a visual editor that produces production-ready code. It's not a design tool that exports—it's a publishing platform.

Key Features:

• Visual Development - Build layouts through direct manipulation
• Component System - Reusable elements with properties and variants
• CMS Built-in - Content management without external services
• Animations - Sophisticated motion design without code

Why Framer stands out:

• Real Code Output - Sites are React applications, not proprietary format
• AI Content Generation - Generate copy and images as you build
• Performance Optimized - Automatic optimization for Core Web Vitals
• Custom Code - Extend with React components when needed

Framer blurs the line between design tool and development platform. Designers can build production sites without developer handoff. Developers can add custom functionality without abandoning the visual workflow. For marketing sites and landing pages, it's remarkably capable.
