Framer
Aug 5, 2026 · via Hand Picks
AI-native no-code site builder with full design control and production-grade hosting.
Framer lets designers ship real, optimized websites without handing off to developers, while AI accelerates iteration without sacrificing visual control.
Framer has evolved well beyond its prototyping roots into a serious AI-assisted website builder where design and production are the same surface — what you see on the canvas is what ships. The core value proposition is collapsing the handoff gap entirely: a generalist designer can concept, iterate, and publish a real, optimized website without context-switching into a dev environment or handing files to an engineer.
