"I feel framer is simple and easy to use"
What do you like best about Framer?

Comparing it with its competitors I feel like framer is very easy to use and go live with website very quickly. I've used their competitors too like webflow, but I felt like framer is good, and the themes that are there on framer have better options

What do you dislike about Framer?

Initially I felt sad that it doesn't have html export option but later I felt okay that I can use their hosting option which is not costlier comparing it with the hosting providers like godaddy and namecheap

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Drag and drop, ease of making website and pre-built themes all in one are solving my problem and giving me edge with the time to go live

"Amazing and easy to use tool to create interactive and high fidelity prototypes."
What do you like best about Framer?

You can design complex animations, transitions, and interactions, you can also test these prototypes on real devices and feel how they behave on different platforms.

What do you dislike about Framer?

It's not a free tool, and also cannot collaborate with other commonly used designing tools like (figma, sketch, etc). Sometimes it can be time-consuming to create animations.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a powerful tool to create prototypes with animations and interaction, it can be very helpful for a designer.

"Sometimes slow, but easy to build based on Figma design files."
What do you like best about Framer?

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.

What do you dislike about Framer?

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.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"One of the best low-code builders"
What do you like best about Framer?

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.

What do you dislike about Framer?

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.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Great potential, need to mature."
What do you like best about Framer?

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)

What do you dislike about Framer?

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.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Steep learning curve, developer friendly"
What do you like best about Framer?

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.

What do you dislike about Framer?

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.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Amazing realistic prototyping tool"
What do you like best about Framer?

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.

What do you dislike about Framer?

I dislike that it is completely based on writing code. This limits many people who do not have the ability to write code.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits I've realized are the ability to share with clients and developers exactly what I'm looking for in design animation.

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

"Quick and easy to learn"
What do you like best about Framer?

I like the function for import design from Sketch and the new possibility to create prototype without write code.

What do you dislike about Framer?

Basically I like everything, I don't use it anymore only because I don't need to make complicated prototypes so Principle fits for me better.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

You can make more complicated prototypes than with Principle.

"Framer is many level up from the competition"
What do you like best about Framer?

The flexibility of the platform allows you to do all kinds of customizations whether you're a developer or designer. You're not locked into a box like some of the other no-code services like webflow or squarespace

What do you dislike about Framer?

I wish there was more help from the community / support. I think this will change over time as more people use the platform or more resources are added on their forums

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's easy to use and you can quickly make changes when you need to. I don't have to go through a lengthy process of deploying changes or adding new pages. This especially great for one-off landing pages that are tied to campaigns

Not so great to start a project from scratch. Felt like I'd still need other apps to get the job done from start to finish.

"Gold standard for prototyping interactions"
What do you like best about Framer?

- Allows interactions to be functionally defined through a robust scripting language - Easy to quickly visualize results

What do you dislike about Framer?

- Learning curve for beginners, albeit well worth the investment of time

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the best tools for presenting the nuances of interactions. More than design comps, Framer provides developers with high-fidelity, functioning interactions.

"Integration of framer with figma"
What do you like best about Framer?

It's a great tool to convert your amazing web designs straight into actual working websites without the hassle of coding. It saves a lot of time and effort plus the interface is super user friendly. While working in Figma with UI designs, this tool is really helpful to create stunning landing pages.

What do you dislike about Framer?

There's nothing as such to dislike about it. The only issue I faced is their website. It kind of slow and could be better and smooth for their end visitors.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Saving a lot of time that I would probably spend on coding. 2. Its integration with figma is a plus because I can directly use it with figma. I don't need to use a separate application. 3. It gives creative freedom while working on designs.

"Design to live with little code knowledge"
What do you like best about Framer?

The Figma plugin allows me to convert my designs to code seamlessly. This is incredible as a starting point when creating a Framer website

What do you dislike about Framer?

Some parts can be buggy and will need a little bit of manual intervention when using the Figma Plugin.

What problems is Framer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to prototype without the requirement of engineers allows me to demonstrate and validate the value of designs. This is incredibly useful in an agile workspace where you are required to build and test almost every sprint.
