Framer

Framer is a web design and development platform founded in 2014 by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk, originally launched as a prototyping tool for designers. The company has since evolved into a comprehensive website builder and design tool, dedicated to empowering designers and creators to build and publish high-performance websites without the need for coding. With its user-friendly interface, Framer appeals to designers familiar with tools like Figma while offering advanced features for animations and interactions.

The platform has garnered significant venture capital funding, including a notable $24 million Series B round in 2019 led by Atomico. Framer integrates design capabilities with website hosting and publishing features, enabling users to create interactive prototypes and fully functional websites. As a competitor in the no-code market space, Framer emphasizes performance optimization and SEO capabilities, providing a holistic solution that allows designers to move projects from conceptualization to live deployment efficiently.
