Frame
The fundamental container element in Framer that holds content and defines boundaries for layout, sizing, and visual properties. Frames are the building blocks of every Framer design, from tiny icons to full page layouts. Unlike groups, frames have their own properties and can contain responsive layouts and effects.
301 Redirect
SEO
A permanent redirect that tells browsers and search engines a page has moved to a new URL forever. This is essential for maintaining SEO value when restructuring your site or changing URL patterns. In Framer, configure 301 redirects in your site settings under the Redirects section to preserve link equity from old URLs.
404 Page
SEO
A custom error page displayed when visitors try to access a URL that doesn’t exist on your site. A well-designed 404 page helps retain visitors by offering navigation options and search functionality rather than a dead end. Framer lets you create branded 404 pages that match your site’s design and guide users back to relevant content.
A/B Testing
Analytics
A method of comparing two versions of a page to determine which performs better based on user behavior and conversions. This data-driven approach removes guesswork from design decisions by letting real visitors vote with their actions. Framer's built-in A/B testing in Metrics lets you run experiments without third-party tools or complex setup.
Advanced Analytics
Analytics
Comprehensive tracking tools that go beyond pageviews to measure user journeys, conversion funnels, and behavioral patterns. Understanding how users actually interact with your site reveals optimization opportunities that basic analytics miss. Framer's built-in analytics include A/B testing, click tracking, and funnel analysis—all GDPR-compliant without requiring cookie consent banners. See Track clicks, build funnels, and A/B test pages.
Alt Text
Accessibility
Descriptive text added to images that screen readers and search engines use to understand image content. Good alt text describes content and purpose, not just its appearance — “Team celebrating product launch” is better than “people in office.” Framer lets you add alt text directly in the image properties panel. See How to add Alt Tags to images.
Appear Effect
Framer
An animation that plays when an element first becomes visible on screen, typically as the user scrolls down the page. These effects add polish and draw attention to content as it enters the viewport. Framer provides various appear effects like fade, slide, scale, and blur that can be customized for timing, delay, and easing.
