Key Features Include:

• Tabs: Organize content into multiple sections for easier navigation.

These dynamic filters are designed to enhance user engagement by providing a more tailored experience as users navigate through content. With this update, Framer continues to position itself as a leader in offering flexible and powerful tools for website builders and content creators. This improvement makes it easier to enhance user experience while ensuring that sites remain highly functional and personalized.

Framer has announced a new feature that enables designers to create page-level animations driven by any expanding element, such as navigations and accordions. This innovation allows for seamless transitions where navigational elements can push content across all pages.

Key Features:

• Compatibility with multiple pages, ensuring a cohesive user experience.

This update is particularly valuable for builders and developers, as it enhances user interactions and allows for a more dynamic and engaging design process. By incorporating these new animation capabilities, creators can significantly improve the aesthetics and functionality of their web projects, leading to better user retention and engagement.

Today, Framer announced the launch of the Framer Server API Beta, allowing users to script Content Management System (CMS) updates and publish directly from various platforms without opening the Framer interface. This new capability enhances workflow integration and flexibility for developers.

Key Features:

• REST API Integration: Seamlessly integrate any REST-based APIs.
• Notion Sync: Sync content from Notion to Framer CMS and publish updates directly.
• Site Updates from Other Platforms: Trigger site updates from tools like Slack using the new Managed Control Panel (MCP).

The beta version is now available for all Framer subscription plans, making it accessible for users looking to streamline their content management processes.
