What's more, WordPress has a trump card that lets you position your website quickly using plugins like Yoast SEO, reputed for its SEO power.You can customize meta tags, URLs, titles, and descriptions to optimize your website's SEO and improve its visibility on search engines.

Framer Builder

Framer is a handy tool for creating websites in the same simple way as Bubble and Webflow.

You can start with a mock-up of your site, then add features and interactions to make it interactive.

A multitude of templates are also available for your convenience. Once you're satisfied with your creation, you can ship it and publish it in production.

Things go even faster with Framer. With its AI integration, you can develop and publish your site in seconds (and that's no exaggeration).

What's more, Framer offers a wide range of options, including web pages and canvas pages, which make it easier to develop your sites.

Web pages are pages that represent a page on your site. They include URLs, breakpoints, responsive configurations, and scrolling. Canvas pages, on the other hand, are general design pages that allow you to organize and format the elements of your site.

How to create your website with Framer

With Framer's new AI feature, you can design your site in record time - as little as 1 minute. 

Writing a prompt to generate a website

If you've already used ChatGPT, then you'll quickly get used to writing a prompt on Framer's AI. The principle remains the same: all you have to do is write down what you want your site to look like, with all the details that go with it. Then, a few seconds later, Framer will present you with a site with visual elements and responsive rendering.

Editing the website 

Once the site has been generated by the AI, Framer lets you personalize your work by adding content. To this end, you have a multitude of color palettes at your disposal, to make your interface more attractive. Then, when it comes to content such as text, images and the layout of container groups, you can change them to suit the presentation you have in mind.

Test your website

To test the site you've designed, simply click on the Platform Preview. A new window will open so that you can view all parts of the site. And if there's anything you'd like to improve, such as the positioning of a button, you always have the option of making an edit before publishing.

Publish your website

Now that your site has been improved and tested, it's time to publish it. For this option, you don't have to pay any subscription fee, as publication is free. Unless you'd like to add new features to the site. What's more, Framer gives you free rein to customize the domain name.
