What Framer means
Framer lets designers publish polished sites with motion and responsive layouts quickly. It suits startups and small marketing sites that change often. As with any hosted builder, you are tied to its platform, plans and feature limits.
Why it matters for your website
Framer lets designers build and publish polished, animated sites quickly, which suits startups and marketing pages. Speed to launch can be a real advantage. Like any hosted builder, you rely on the platform for hosting and features, so it fits some projects better than others.
Example
A new app startup designs and launches its marketing site in Framer within a week, then lets its marketer edit pricing and blog posts without touching code.
Tips

- Keep animations purposeful so they do not slow pages or distract.
- Set page titles, descriptions and alt text for every page.
Common mistakes
