You will learn how to access the editor, understand the interface, add content, preview your website, and publish it online.

Step 1: Log Into Framer

Open Framer and sign into your account.

If you do not have an account yet, create one using your email address. Framer will send you a magic login link to complete the sign-in process.

After signing in for the first time, Framer automatically opens a new project for you. You will also see a template selection modal where you can:

• Choose a starter template which will allow you to begin designing immediately without manually creating a project first.

• Or close the modal and start from scratch

• 
  

Step 2: Understand the Editor

Your project includes several important areas:

• Canvas — The main workspace where you design your website

• Layers Panel — Organizes all elements and sections

• Properties Panel — Controls styling, sizing, spacing, and settings

• Toolbar — Provides quick access to design tools and actions

These tools help you design, organize, and manage your website efficiently.

Step 3: Add Content

Start building your page by adding elements such as:

• Text

• Images

• Buttons

• Sections

Use the top menu to place elements onto the canvas. You can then resize, style, and arrange them however you want.

Step 4: Preview Your Website

Click Preview to test your website before publishing.

During preview mode, check:

• Responsiveness

• Navigation

• Interactions

• Animations

• Mobile layouts

Testing early helps you identify layout and usability issues before publishing.

Step 5: Publish Your Website

When your website is ready:

1. Click Publish

2. Choose your domain

3. Confirm publishing

Your website will go live instantly using Framer hosting or your connected custom domain.
