Topics
Audience
Framer offers both a web-based editor and a desktop app experience. For teams adopting the tool, understanding the differences helps you choose the right setup for your workflow.
Framer Web
Running Framer in the browser gives you:
Instant access from any compatible machine.
No installation or update friction.
Easy collaboration in environments with locked-down devices.
Framer Desktop
The desktop experience can offer:
A more app-like feel with dedicated windowing.
Potentially smoother performance for heavy, ongoing work.
Deeper OS-level integration for power users.
Which Should Your Team Use?
In practice:
Designers and builders often prefer desktop for daily use.
Occasional collaborators, marketers, and reviewers are well-served by the web app.
Many teams simply mix both depending on role and device.
Conclusion
You don’t need to standardize on one or the other. Treat Framer Web as your universal access point and Framer Desktop as the “pro workstation” for team members spending hours a day in the tool.

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.
