CMS

Content Management System—a platform for creating, organizing, and publishing digital content without writing code for each update. A CMS separates content from design, allowing non-technical users to update text and images while maintaining consistent styling. Framer's built-in CMS supports collections, relationships, and dynamic pages for blogs, portfolios, and product catalogs.

CMS Collection

A structured content type in Framer's CMS that groups related items together, like blog posts, team members, or products. Collections define the fields and data types for each item, ensuring consistent structure across entries. Connect collection items to dynamic pages to automatically generate individual pages for each entry with consistent layouts.

Collection List

A component that displays multiple items from a cms-collection">CMS collection, automatically repeating a template for each entry. Collection lists power dynamic content displays like blog feeds, portfolio grids, and product catalogs. Framer collection lists support filtering, sorting, limiting, and responsive layouts.

Dynamic Filters

Interactive controls that let users narrow down displayed content based on selected criteria in real time. Dynamic filters improve content discovery for large collections like products, articles, or portfolio items. Connect filters to Framer CMS collections for powerful, no-code filtering experiences.

Empty State

The appearance of a page or component when no content is available, such as an empty search results or new user dashboard. Well-designed empty states guide users toward actions that populate the interface. Include helpful messaging and clear calls to action rather than leaving users stranded.

Rich Text

Formatted text with styling like bold, italic, headings, lists, and links, beyond plain unformatted text. Rich text fields in Framer's CMS allow content editors to format text without touching design. Connect rich text fields to styled containers for consistent typography.

Slug

A URL-friendly version of a page or post title, typically lowercase with hyphens replacing spaces. Descriptive slugs improve SEO by including keywords and help users understand page content from the URL. In Framer's CMS, slugs are generated automatically but can be customized for optimization.

CSV Import

The process of importing comma-separated values data into a cms-collection">CMS collection. CSV import speeds up bulk content creation and migration from spreadsheets or external systems.

CMS Plugin

A plugin focused on CMS operations such as syncing content, transforming fields, or managing collections at scale. CMS plugins help automate repetitive content tasks and integrations.
