As of now, Webflow is still more complete however I have a feeling that Framer will take over in the future because of how intuitive and designer-friendly it is in comparison, they just gotta keep on pumping those great updates and let the app speak for itself instead of heavily promoting while it's still trailing behind Webflow.
I’ve switched from Figma to Framer when it comes to web design. It’s extremely similar to Figma’s interface so its really easy to transition to. Also instead of prototyping in Figma, its now very easy to do so in Framer and publish your website
I'm glad that you've noticed the similarities and up-side in picking up Framer to launch a website directly from their app! They're definitely onto something.
Thank you so much Mizko. I'm definitely a die hard fan of yours. Unfortunately, i have been trying to get into framer for the past one month now but it just keeps getting difficult for me but with this video, I'm sure to follow through and learn alot while I build alongside with you. I am really hoping to join your Designership class someday. Thank you so much Mizko❤
Hi Mizko, thank you for a great video explaining how to use Framer the right way to its full potential. It helped me figure out a lot of the concepts. I work with a lot of images and text, so it needed a lot of alignment, etc. Now I understand perfectly how to do it. I can tell you one story: I was presenting at WeWork, Prague to 20 entrepreneurs from different areas. I made a comparison of 10 tools, which can build your web using AI. And Framer was one of them. I entered the same prompt for all tools. What amazed me was that the 20 people in the room unanimously selected the Framer version of the web (and I liked it most as well). This is quite important to know, as these people were from different areas of international business from all over the World. Thank you for your great tutorial, I appreciate it.
Exactly what I needed today. Enjoying Framer so far, and the best man for the job is creating a 46 minute video about it! I completed the Figma masterclass, so I knew this was going to be good ;). Excellent communicator.
Great Framer tutorial video Mizko! As someone who primarily builds relatively simple marketing websites for small businesses, would you recommend Framer over Webflow based on your experience?
Hey Ray, if you’re building simple marketing websites I would honestly suggest Framer. You can skip Figma, go straight into Framer, start designing and publish all within their app. There was definitely some getting use to at the start, since Framer does have their own way of doing some things but quite quickly I got the hang of it.
This was very insightful, I love how you take your time to explain everything in detail gradually👏👏. As someone who is very familiar with Figma I’m so glad the interface is very similar to Figma.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had been struggling with getting the responsiveness and fit/fill parts right for an embarrassingly long length of time. Now I understand 😊
I like Framer, the only issue I have with it is that it only have two integrations. Other platforms like Webflow and Wix Studio way more have more. As a work around we can we can still embed other integrations with their code block feature. Aside from that it's still easy to use
Thank you for the tutorial @Mizko as always delivering high standard contents. I would like to ask you and everyone else, what would you choose: Webflow over Framer and vs and why. Would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks for the feedback Nic! Yep, sorry about that I realised the video was getting long so had to try skim a few parts here and there. Collections setup can also be a bit confusing for first timers, it's what developers do when they are creating databases. I'll do a seperate video in the coming weeks :)
Hi, I was thinking while watching your RU-vid videos, I can make the components, but it's so hard to prototype them. Do you have any videos on this? Or can you take a video of variations prototyping? I'm not sure if it's better to just study framer or write a program like jitter or learn pygma prototyping. Is there a lecture or course that combines components and prototyping? I'm not very good at English, so I used a translator a bit, please understand. I want you to comment. Thanks for the nice videos. I hope you're always happy.
I noticed at 26:12 you went to the left side of the screen and a menu went up to see your previous projects. I don't get this, and can't figure out how you got that menu?
Thanks a lot for the info Michael, I'm trying to sign op to framer Pro from your link, but it asks me for the Promo code. Must I manually enter the promo code, and what is the code? Cheers
Definitely feels more light weight, not in terms of features but in terms of building. I haven't tried pushing Framer's collections ability yet, but I'll give it a go sometime.
I love the tutorial, thanks for making it! Framer is an amazing tool so far, I like it even better than Figma. I started out designing websites in Photoshop back in the day and I'm amazed at all the new tools now a days. I can't wait to try to create a template page for my portfolio website, that way I can add new projects to my website via a CMS, rather than copying pages over and over. A few things I noted that I'm curious about, first is I wonder if I can design for mobile-first, then create my tablet and desktop views, rather than the other way around like we did in the tutorial. I've always been taught it's easiest to design for mobile first. And second thing I noted which I thought was odd, I felt like Framer was a lot smoother in my Browser, rather than the Mac Desktop app I downloaded for my Intel Mac. I'm still rocking the 2015 MBP, so that might be why lol. Still thought it was interesting it's easier in my browser. Thanks again for the thorough tutorial!
17:20 I cannot make the navigation to fixed. I try to figure it out why that is, but I can't find it. For me the option 'Fixed' is grayed out & I've followed your exact same steps
