Interactive Star Rating for Framer CMS
Ahmad Almadhoun
Overview
For this project, I designed and implemented a custom Framer code component that creates a dynamic, five-star rating system for Any custom Feedback. This rating component connects seamlessly with the site's CMS, enabling automated star ratings based on user feedback stored within the CMS. The star system is visually engaging and entirely responsive, displaying active and inactive stars based on average ratings.
Project Goals
The primary goal was to create an intuitive and visually appealing star rating system that dynamically pulls data from the CMS. This component had to calculate the average rating based on CMS data entries and display the result as a five-star graphic, adapting to different average scores. The rating system needed to integrate effortlessly into the site’s design, adding value to user interactions by making feedback immediately visible and easy to interpret.
Project Challenges
One of the main challenges was ensuring smooth integration between Framer’s code component and the CMS to allow real-time updates for each rating. Building the system required accuracy in calculating and displaying partial and full stars to accurately reflect the average ratings. Additionally, the component had to be optimized for performance and visually appealing across various screen sizes to maintain the site’s polished aesthetic. See code component in Action
