Hey Framer users, quick question Can I, as a motion designer, actually work with Framer in a meaningful way? I understand it’s primarily a no-code website builder, but I keep seeing Framer being used more like a small animation playground: – interactive buttons with hover and micro-interactions – smooth transitions between sections – clean page transitions – UI-like embedded elements that behave almost like product interfaces – an overall feeling of a “product”, not just a website At some point, it stops feeling like “just building a site” and starts feeling more like designing an experience. How it reacts to the user. How it moves. How it feels alive. In that sense, it feels closer to motion inside a product than traditional web design. I’m curious how you see it in practice: – do you use Framer as part of your motion workflow – or is it still strictly a web builder in your process – and does it even make sense for a motion designer to go into Framer Trying to understand if this is already a real too

Nice work as usual! To answer your question: absolutely. As someone focused purely on Framer and web design, the tool is basically an animation playground. The scroll-linked variants and component effects let you bring motion graphics to life natively on the web without touching code. You’ll love it!
