Framer: "The canvas is about to change"

So what do we think of all this? I'm fairly new to Framer, still learning all the ins and outs, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for all this right now lol. I guess I'm old school, and part of what I love about web design is actually designing the thing, not asking AI to do the design for me. I would love to hear you guys' thoughts on this... is this the beginning of The Enshittification?

Every Framer llms.txt guide I found was wrong. Here's the current workflow (Static Files, March 2026).

Was helping a client add an llms.txt file to their Framer site a couple weeks ago. Searched for a guide, found four of them. Every single one pointed at a settings panel that is not in the product anymore.

"Project Settings, scroll to Well-Known Files." Not there.
"Site Settings, SEO panel, Advanced SEO." Not there either.
One guide confidently told me robots.txt "cannot be edited" in Framer and to use a Cloudflare Worker workaround instead.

Turns out Framer shipped a feature called Static Files on March 23, 2026. It moved all of this into a Files tab inside the Domains section of your workspace. Every guide written before that date is now describing a dead interface.

The current workflow (confirmed from a live dashboard):

  1. Open your Framer workspace.
  2. Under Domains in the left sidebar, click your connected domain (not the "Domains" label, the actual domain row).
  3. In the panel that opens, click the Files tab.
  4. Upload your llms.txt file. Framer sets the path automatically, you do not need to type anything.
  5. Go into your Framer project and publish. The file is not live until you publish from inside the project editor.
  6. Verify at yourdomain.com/llms.txt in a browser.

Same exact steps for robots.txt. [...] If you have been told robots.txt is "uneditable" in Framer, that was accurate before March 2026. The static files update changed it: you upload your own and it overrides the auto-generated default.

One thing to note: the Files tab is a paid-plan feature (not available on the basic plan though). Framer's own documentation currently lists different tiers on different help pages, so check framer.com/pricing if you are unsure.

I ended up writing a full walkthrough with screenshots for this... https://www.oma-kase.com/blog/how-to-add-llms-txt-in-framer

Hope this saves someone the 40-minute loop of finding bad guides.

I’m a non-coder designer who got so fed up with manual Framer SEO that I built my own plugin. Here’s what I learned after 12 sales.

I’m a pure designer — Figma, typography, user flows, Framer. I had never written a single line of code in my life.

A few months ago I was building my own portfolio site in Framer. It’s quite image-heavy with lots of case studies. I wanted it to rank properly, so I started doing image SEO the “right” way.

It destroyed me.

Spending hours downloading images, prompting ChatGPT one by one for alt text, pasting it back, and cleaning up layer names like “hero-image-final-v2-new.png”… all for just one gallery. I realized I was about to lose yet another full weekend to this boring technical crap.

I searched for solutions. The existing Framer plugins were either too limited or didn’t understand how CMS collections actually work for designers. So I made a dangerous decision:

I decided to build it myself.

The reality check:

  • Week 1-2: Complete chaos. I was copy-pasting from ChatGPT into Claude, fighting Framer’s plugin API, and breaking the UI every 10 minutes. The documentation felt like it was written for senior engineers, not designers.
  • I almost quit multiple times.
  • There were days I fixed one bug only to create three new ones.

But the anger at wasting my creative time kept me going.

What eventually shipped (AltWise - Alt Text & Image Seo Optimizer**):**

  • Bulk AI alt text for 100+ images in seconds
  • Proper support for Framer CMS + Gallery components
  • Automatic smart layer renamer (keyword-focused)
  • 40+ languages

It now saves me around 8 hours per 200 images.

12 paid users later, here are the real lessons I want to share:

  1. Pain is the best motivator. The uglier the problem, the more willing people are to pay for a fix.
  2. Non-coders can build. The tools in 2026 (Cursor, Claude, Framer’s plugin ecosystem) lowered the bar dramatically. You still need persistence though — way more than intelligence.
  3. Designers have an unfair advantage. I built this from a real user perspective. Most of the competing tools feel like they were made by developers who never actually design in Framer.
  4. First 10 customers are pure validation. It’s not about the money yet. Seeing strangers trust your tool feels better than most client projects.
  5. Every paid customer forces you to get better. The plugin broke. Bugs crept in. But when someone's paid you actual money, quitting isn't an option — you fix it, ship it, and keep going.

I’m still very early (one-time payments, small revenue), but this whole journey completely changed how I see my own capabilities.

Question for fellow Designers, Founders & Framer users:

What’s the most painful “technical but not coding” task that’s currently eating your time? (SEO, performance, animations, CMS management, website design etc.)

And if any of you are dealing with the same image SEO headache, feel free to try AltWise and roast it — I’m genuinely open to brutal feedback.

Framer to React

Hello

I’ve spent the last 3 months going deep into how Framer works because this problem kept bothering me.

What started as curiosity slowly turned into an obsession 😅

I ended up building an automation around it that converts Framer sites into actual React code from just a Framer URL.

Not exports that still depend on Framer assets or platform links.

Real React code you can actually edit, build on, and own.

Design, structure, responsiveness, animations, interactions and the whole experience.

Still refining things before releasing because there are a lot of edge cases to handle, and I’d rather launch something solid than rushed.

I’ll start sharing examples soon (Framer → React comparisons, tutorials, how it works, etc.)

Forgot to introduce myself, I’m a software developer currently working on Singapore Government projects, so i am not a guy who doesn’t know a shit about coding😅

I will keep sharing the details on my social media platforms.

9 months with @framer — 21 approved templates and a journey i will never forget.

9 months with u/framer — 21 approved templates and a journey i will never forget.

countless sleepless nights, endless iterations, wins, failures, learning curves… every bit of it was worth it.

now it feels like a shift is happening.

slowing down the constant hustle of building and doubling down on marketing.

more YouTube tutorials. more reels. more blogs. more paid ads. more distribution.

because building great products is only half the game — getting them in front of the right people is the next chapter.

excited for what’s ahead.

The future of web design is not vibe coded CLAUDE random design improv.

The future is hand crafted Framer design + powerful Claude + Codex combo running in full sync like a real production machine.

I coded my own custom MCP plugin exposing every tool the current Framer SDK allows.

Plugged my Codex agent straight into my Framer sites.

On top of that, my Claude is connected directly to my Shopify backend via the official connector auto-creating metafields, editing SEO, only to later sync products and keep everything in perfect harmony with Framer.

Result? I was pushing a cart through the grocery store, casually editing hero sections, animations, interactions, and CMS content on my iPhone with the Codex app… while picking avocados. No laptop. No desk. Just pure mobile power.

The current SDK already gets me around 70% of the way there.

If Framer only exposed every remaining tool?

We’d be building and maintaining entire production websites 100% remotely from anywhere on Earth.This isn’t hype. This is my daily workflow right now. Framer is becoming the ultimate AI-native canvas for shipping real high end stuff.

DEAR SDK TEAM: Please expose all your tools and we will take FRAMER to the next level.

I made a Framer SaaS template that covers everything your startup needs - Nexra

Been building Framer templates for a while now and this one is the most complete thing I've put out in week 6 of the #framerchallenge.

It's called Nexra - a full SaaS template that covers everything you need to launch your product online.

Waitlist page, updates page, landing page and everything in between. No piecing together different templates or hiring a designer for every new page.

Built entirely in Framer, fully customizable, no code needed.

$99 for the whole thing.

honestly if you're building a SaaS right now and need a website — you won't find a more complete Framer template at this price. everything is already built, just make it yours and launch 🚀 - https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/nexra/

How to adjust the "crop" on my text

I'm super new to Framer and running into problems every 2 minutes. How do i fix this annoying crop on my text? I've got like 300 more words in this paragraph but it's got this crop applied around the solid box of text.

The solid box is easy to adjust but it seems to be the dotted box that's the problem. Can anyone help? TIA

Best place to pass on an unused Framer Pro yearly coupon?

Hi all,

I have a valid, unused coupon code for a yearly Framer Pro plan that I don't need anymore. I don't want it to expire completely unused, but I'm also not trying to post a direct ad here or break any marketplace rules.

Are there specific threads here or external design groups where people usually trade or pass on spare subscription codes at a discount? Alternatively, if anyone here is actively looking for a Pro plan right now, feel free to send a message so we can chat.

I rebuilt the Windows 11 start menu in Framer. 🤯

https://preview.redd.it/mcwudcto442h1.png?width=792&format=png&auto=webp&s=cbf5ab472a773fdac03e1382fe0a6d62666c10f7

I spent way too much time trying to make this look and feel exactly like the real thing.

It has the fully functioning start menu, taskbar icons, wifi, sound, battery, date/time, and everything opens up like it should. I also added the simple weather temperature show

Made it as a free component if anyone wants to clone it or use it for a portfolio project. Let me know what you think!

I'm looking to start selling templates / receiving payouts on Framer, but I want to make sure I have the right payment setup first.

What are the available methods to withdraw money from the platform? Does it support direct bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe, or something else?

I mostly use PayPal for my payout method

Is Framer worth learning in 2026 for a UI/UX designer?

I’m already a UI/UX designer and I mainly work in Figma. Recently I’ve been thinking about learning Framer seriously, especially for freelance/client work.

Framer freelancers/agencies, how hard is it to learn Framer for someone coming from WordPress (Elementor/GeneratePress etc)? Is it even worth for someone starting now?

I would also add that with claude code and other ai advances, how are the experts pivoting or adapting?
