# Framer

> AI website builder with a visual canvas, CMS and hosting

Framer is a website builder and visual design platform in which AI agents generate and refine pages directly on an editable canvas. Sites are published from the same tool, with hosting, a CMS, SEO controls and analytics built in. It is aimed at marketing sites, portfolios and landing pages rather than full applications, and paid plans are bought per site with extra editors charged separately.

## Key features

- **Agents on the canvas:** A design agent generates and refines layouts in place, and other agents manage CMS content or write code components. Each change stays visible and editable.
- **Visual design canvas:** Pages are laid out on a freeform canvas with responsive breakpoints, components and effects, with no coding needed for layout or interactions.
- **Built-in CMS:** Collections, fields and detail pages hold a site's content: 2 collections and 1,000 items on Basic, 10 collections and 2,500 items on Pro.
- **Hosting and publishing:** Sites publish to built-in hosting with custom domains, SSL and analytics. Pro adds a staging environment, site redirects and 90 days of analytics history.
- **Live collaboration:** Teams work together with multiplayer cursors, comments, roles and branch previews. Viewers are free, and extra editors are billed per seat.
- **External agents and Server API:** Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other AI tools can connect to a project, and a Server API updates and publishes sites from a script without opening Framer.

## Good for

- Basic stops at 30 pages and 2 CMS collections; staging and branching need Pro.
