Audience
Do you really need a developer for Framer? The answer is: it depends on what you’re building and how far you want to push the platform. This guide helps founders and teams decide when a designer is enough—and when to involve engineering.
When a Designer Is Enough
For many marketing sites, a strong Framer designer can handle:
Page and section layout.
Component systems and CMS structure.
Basic interactions and animations.
Standard SEO and analytics integration.
In these cases, you get a fully functional, production-ready site without heavy engineering involvement.
When You Need a Developer
Developers become essential when you need:
Custom React components or complex interactive experiences.
Deep integrations with your app, APIs, auth, or dashboards.
Advanced data handling, logic, or multi-system orchestration.
Here, a hybrid approach—designer + Framer-savvy developer—gives you the best of both worlds.
The Hybrid Expert
Many Framer specialists operate in the middle: designers who can write code, structure systems, and collaborate with your internal engineering team when needed. This hybrid profile is often ideal for SaaS and AI companies.
Conclusion
You don’t always need a full engineering project to build a great Framer site—but you do need clarity about where your requirements sit on the spectrum. Get that right, and you’ll staff your website project efficiently without compromising quality.

Allsite designs and builds high-end, production-ready websites - from strategy and design direction to Framer development and launch. The website is treated as a core business asset: product narrative, trust layer, and conversion surface in one.
Yes - brand work as it relates to the website. This includes visual identity refinement, design systems, typography, color, layout logic, and tone. Allsite does not position itself as a full-service branding agency - focus beats breadth.
Framer enables faster iteration, cleaner handover, and a more modern editing experience - especially for content-driven, design-forward teams. For complex, CMS-heavy, or AI-native products, Framer offers a better balance of flexibility and maintainability.
No. Projects can start from anything - from rough ideas to existing designs. If a Figma file exists, great. If not, design direction and structure are part of the process.
Projects typically start with a short design & strategy phase, followed by design, build, and launch. Most projects take 3–6 weeks, depending on scope and feedback speed.
