Best way to learn Framer:
❌ → Spend hours on YouTube watching tutorials
✅ → Get a basic understanding of the platform and then try to recreate websites you like
@Luca Da Corte I wanna add: Framer also got great bunch of kind hearted creators who offers FREE templates. Just remix it, tear it apart and learn what works.
always
@Ben Huffman @Luca Da Corte do check our projects also mate and give feedback
@Luca Da Corte basically just try rebuilding existing websites on framer with figma knowledge
@Luca Da Corte and studying how premium templates are built.
this is the magical way I think.
@Luca Da Corte We don't read instructions; we dive in and get it done. Possibly with some profanity lol
@Luca Da Corte 💯 get hands on and practical, and you'll learn so much more than any course ever will
@Luca Da Corte Learning by doing is the best wayt o learn anything, really.
@Luca Da Corte Exactly, i spent like 30-40 min on watching framer tutorial and then started working on my framer template, it took me whole month just to understand how things work here. The only best way to learn framer is to just start creating, you can make it perfect later
@Luca Da Corte Yup...
@Luca Da Corte Thats true
@Luca Da Corte Practice(knowledge application) will always be the fastest way to learn
@Luca Da Corte True that!
That's literally how I started my creative journey by creating the actual projects, but keeping yourself grounded with the YouTube tutorials is always the best part. There's always so much to learn as you are building.
@Luca Da Corte This is spot on. Active learning especially recreating real websites builds muscle memory fast.
@Luca Da Corte same way I learnt. I advice to first watch this quite indepth video then proceed to recreating websites. I still use this websites I recreated on my portfolio and it's helped me secure jobs https://youtu.be/9nIwTjG2fdI?si=nyMZb68DMmz_HrtX
@Luca Da Corte I love watching tutorials but often they're just a form of procrastination and you don't retain the knowledge. Making something yourself is a lot better way to learn IMO.
@Luca Da Corte And solving problems in the Framer community help learn Framer pretty fast ;)
@Luca Da Corte You just keep getting better that way!
@Luca Da Corte Best way to learn!
@Luca Da Corte Real truth!
@Luca Da Corte So true. I've even learned by breaking things, making mistakes, and learning all of the amazing nuances Framer has to offer.
@Luca Da Corte : exactly 💯 . Most begginer do this mistake.
@Luca Da Corte The best way is to try by doing. Only watch tutorials if you're stuck on a specific problem
@Luca Da Corte That's very true. Practice
@Luca Da Corte Practice makes perfect
@Luca Da Corte 100%. Taking action is the key. At the end of the day, theory without practice is useless.
@Luca Da Corte on point.
@Luca Da Corte what if you are not a designer and just a developer.
You will need to learn design before you can replicate a website you see
@Luca Da Corte Best way to learn anything I'd say! Totally agree with you Luca
@Luca Da Corte Honestly didn’t get it at first, I kept jumping from one tutorial to another and still couldn’t connect the dots.
It finally clicked when I started building one pixel at a time. That’s when Framer stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like a canvas.
@Luca Da Corte about to try framer templates
