What Framer is

Framer is a visual website builder. Pages are designed on a canvas, published to Framer's hosting and managed in an editor. It includes a CMS for repeating content such as articles, services and portfolio items, and it supports animation and interactions without hand-written code.

Why we design and build in Framer

• Design and build happen in one tool, so the layout that is approved is the layout that gets published

• Motion and interactions are designed directly on the page, not described in a separate document

• The CMS lets you add articles and pages yourself after launch

• Pages are built for desktop, tablet and phone breakpoints from the start

• Settings for page titles, descriptions, social images and redirects sit inside the project

Framer and SEO

Framer sites can be fully search-ready. You control page titles, descriptions, headings, image descriptions and canonical addresses, a sitemap is generated, and structured data can be added. What decides ranking is still the same as on any platform: one clear topic per page, useful content, a fast first view and sites that link to you. This studio's own site is built the same way, and our SEO services cover the setup.

What we design in Framer

• Business websites with a page for each service, an about page and a contact page, as described under web design

• Redesigns of existing sites, covered under website redesign

• Sites with brand film and web animation, which connect to our motion design and film work

• Journals and blogs powered by the CMS

Working together remotely

Lemurian Studios works with clients anywhere in the United States. Planning, design reviews and launch happen online, so your location does not change the process or the result.

Common questions

Do Framer sites work well on phones?

Yes, when they are designed for it. Each page is laid out separately for desktop, tablet and phone, and we check all three before launch.

Who pays for Framer hosting?

Framer hosts the published site, and its plans are billed by Framer. We explain the plan the site needs before the project starts.

Can the site be moved off Framer later?

Framer is a hosted platform, so the site stays on Framer. If you need to host the code yourself, that is worth discussing before the project begins.
