Geting started as a Framer developer

Sep 12, 2024

In 2024 framer is becoming very popular among designers and in this post I'd be sharing how to be a top class framer developer in 10 simple steps

In this program, you’ll learn the basic things you need to be able to build any website on Framer. It’s the basic infrastructure program. The goal is to take the lessons in bits enough to understand the rudiments before advancing to the next learning phase.

<aside> 💡 It’s important to note that there’ll be tasks that are too easy, and you feel like you’re ready to go to the next one, well… in my experience, that’s where the issue lies, learning in bits helps you learn and assimilate, too much learning clusters the mind and limits the information you can hold.

The best way to learn fast and get results for this program is to prepare your Figma design file before starting, rather than using the same design shared in these videos.

I have prepared a Figma file for you just in case you don't have one

Day 1

  1. Introduction to framer, Framer fundamentals -

The priority for Day 1 is to understand the most simple definition of Framer, what is Framer, how it works, and to what extent can you use Framer.

So, are you a Framer dev now? Technically, I’d not say so, one attempt isn’t enough, here’s where you start honing your skill and not stop at one. There’s also a lot more to learn that should still be categorized as basics.

Thanks for joining the train to be better.
