Create Link Styles and Color Styles in Framer
In a perfect world, you make flawless decisions about colors and typography from the very beginning and scale our designs without making any mistakes. But in the real world, design is an iterative process and inconsistencies are time consuming to stay on top of as you evolve the aesthetics of our sites.
Lesson details
Create Color Styles for semantic roles and Link Styles for recurring inline or navigation links. Apply the shared styles to Components and page copy so color and interaction changes can be made from one source.
Include hover, pressed, focus, and visited behavior where the link type needs it. Test each style on light and dark surfaces and avoid names tied to a color value that may change later.
Build the technique inside the existing layout system instead of treating it as an isolated canvas trick. The result will respond more predictably when copy, viewport size, or surrounding content changes.
