Framer Features

Gives you the ability to produce elements and products exactly the way you design them. Allows you to open yourself up to learning Dev/Code. Creates empathy and understanding of what Dev Team goes through when implementing your designs

Not really that practical. If you think about the time you invest in learning a separate code language from what your Devs know, it requires a lot of initial investment on the designer to learn this language. Creates a weird relationship between you and your Dev Team because at times they expect much more out of your coding skills, and also creates this notion that you can do half of their job. Takes a lot away in the collaborative process that is crucial between Devs and Design to be able to come up with great solutions. Components created are often of no use due to constraints Devs have on coding guidelines in a company and often end up in wasted time.

It's insanely great for making high-quality prototypes. When it comes to interactions it is a lot better than Figma. The magic motion was one of my favorites. The interactions are so good that they make a simple concept look very real and of high quality. Also using prototypes is really exciting, I was able to impress my colleagues by letting them interact with my app concept with the Framer app. Some people even thought my app was real and we're excited to use it!

Framer has a pretty big learning curve. It is very hard to learn it at first but once you learn and understand how it works you can make magic with it :)

The way framer lets my chat flows interactive and unique has impressed me. The easy integrations with other apps and deployment are very seamlessly done.

It should include more options for sharing with different apps.

The feature where the app allows us to publish our designed website live without even coding it.This was the best feature for me since it saves so much time which gets invested in coding.The plus point is you can also get the developer's code of your designs instantly if you want to.

When we publish our websites live, the website has domain framer.ai. To change this, we need to upgrade our account.

Much more user friendly, with a great user based store of plug ins

The user based plugins offer a lot of extended functionality but many of these add ons break after a certain number of software updates.

It's cheap. That's it really, nothing else

So frustrating to find things, not user friendly at all. If you want to do a 3 sections landing page sure, it might be ease, but when a mistake is made and something gets deleted it's so hard to get it back. I have to do everything from scratch. I purchased a template to speed up my website development and my god, I've doing this website for so long cause it takes me ages to find the things that I need. Awful, I wish I never purchased this. This is a nightmare and customer support takes hours to get back to you.

The most fascinating part about Framer is that you can make the prototype close to real product. This is great for scenarios where sophistication in prototype is highly necessary. I love the level of control it gives to designer.

The interface and workflow are still a bit intimidating for users which keeps many designers away from this power tool.

Framer is such a powerful tool. It generates code based prototypes, that behave just like the real apps. The prototypes' quality and animation smoothness is remarkable.

There was a really long learning curve for me with framer, mostly because to achieve great results you need to be familiar with coffeeScript.

Framer allows me to build advance, high fidelity prototypes, at a rapid pace. Unlike other prototyping tools, Framer lets you use code for advance interactions in order to create realistic animations and interactions. Not only does Framer has a code editor, but it also functions as a complete design tool so you can both design and prototype all inside the same tool.

While Framer is very powerful, it also has a steep learning curve. You'll need to understand coding basics, and put in a lot of effort at first. Fortunately, there is a great community around Framer that is willing to help. Just simply go to their Facebook page, ask a question, and you can usually get help from the community pretty quickly.

The ability to create interactions with just some clicks it makes more engaging for the pontential costumer

I wish that they have more e-commerce features and the ability to make integrations with zapier

Framer is a good tool whenever you’re creating custom animations and prototypes. Because Framer started as a coding-based tool, it allows you to truly customize prototypes (more than you can in other design tools). At the same time, you don’t have to be a developer in order to be able to use it!

Framer does have a bit more of a learning curve than other design tools, but if you’re willing to learn it, the payoff is tremendous.

It's code based so you have all the power to build any animation for your prototype. Framer allows you to speak one language with a developer when it comes to animations.

It requires knowledge of basic programming and this may stop many designers to switch on this tool.

Its user interface is super friendly and easy to use. I created a really cool website that showcases my portfolio in a really cool manner. Even if I did not have any sort of coding knowledge, I was able to create an above average SEO friendly website which is really fascinating.

As compared to other platforms there exists limited customization in Framer and also limited features. The learning curve can be slightly steep as one may need to learn for a few minutes about web designing before using it. The pricing was slightly on the higher side for me.

It's one of the finest tool for modern day interaction designers.

Learning code on react takes some time but framer makes it really easy.
