In this article, we’ll explore five exceptional websites from the Framer gallery that go beyond surface-level tricks to deliver memorable experiences. Whether you’re explaining complex products, showcasing creative services, or transforming data into compelling visuals, these examples demonstrate how thoughtful interactivity elevates your digital presence.
Now that no-code tools have made interactive websites accessible to everyone, static designs aren’t just underwhelming, they’re a missed opportunity.
But the best interactive websites don’t just add a few fade-in animations and call it a day. From interactive product previews to scroll-triggered storytelling, today’s standout sites align interactivity with their brand and solve real business challenges.
1. Interactive Product Experience — Multi
When you’re selling collaborative software, showing is better than telling. Multi, a real-time collaboration platform for developers, takes this principle to heart by creating an interactive product preview that turns potential customers into instant collaborators.
The magic happens as soon as you scroll past the hero section. You’re immediately drawn into a live demonstration of Multi’s collaborative features, complete with shared cursors and simultaneous screensharing.
Click the video icon, and you’ll see developers collaborating in real-time. You can drag windows around and watch your cursor transform, making you feel like you’re already part of the collaboration.
Tip: Learn how to create a similar experience by following along with the freeform canvas lesson in Framer Academy. Framer lets you create draggable layers (like images, videos, or text) and enhance them with hover effects, press animations, and custom cursors.
2. 3D Effects — Deleito
Who says a hamburger chain’s website can’t be a work of art? Barcelona-based Deleito’s website perfectly translates their distinctive restaurant branding—characterized by blue and white sky motifs—into the digital realm.
The first thing that catches your eye is a hovering 3D box that perfectly matches their actual burger packaging. A subtle gesture animation invites you to click, and when you do, the box opens to reveal a meticulously rendered burger alongside their slogan “Bienvenidos al cielo” (“Welcome to heaven.”)
This interaction sets the tone for the entire site experience, which includes flippable 3D menu items and draggable boxes.
Tip: You can add interactive 3D objects to your website using Framer and Spline, a design tool. Just design a 3D object in Spline, make sure it’s configured to respond to user interactions like hover and scroll effects, and embed it directly in Framer using the Embed component.
3. Custom Cursor & Interactive Canvas — Momday Club
Momday Club, a tattoo studio based in Las Palmas, Spain, has all the usual elements of a tattoo studio website, like images of tattoo art they’ve created. But Momday Club also makes itself instantly memorable: Its homepage is an interactive canvas where visitors can create their own virtual tattoos.
From the moment you start navigating the site, your cursor transforms into a tattoo needle. Click and drag anywhere on the canvas, and you’re creating your own design.
It’s an unexpectedly playful touch that captures the studio’s artistic spirit in a way that static images never could.
Tip: With Framer, you can create custom cursors that enhance your site’s brand or show users that certain areas of the site are interactive. Framer lets you add effects to your cursor or replace it entirely, along with deep customization options that respond to different elements and states on your page.
4. Storytelling & User Journeys — Flighty
Flighty is an app that tells you everything about your flight, like delay predictions, inbound aircraft tracking, and real-time updates. Much of its data is pulled from first-hand sources, like control towers and live plane locations. Flighty’s claim to fame is that users often learn about flight delays even before the pilot does!
The website cleverly uses visual storytelling to explain how Flighty’s AI-powered tool is a new take on the travel app. Parallax-powered animations guide users through a typical flight experience.
Each scroll reveals a new step in the journey. It starts with preflight preparation, showing real-time flight data in a hand-held app view, and transitions to airport maps and post-flight analytics.
With visual storytelling, what could have been an overwhelming list of features becomes an engaging demonstration.
Tip: With Framer, you can create stunning parallax scrolling effects that guide users dynamically through your brand’s story. Framer makes it simple to add parallax effects with intuitive controls for each layer of your site, like the ability for different objects to scroll at different speeds.
5. UI Microinteractions — Graphy
Graphy, an AI-powered data visualization tool, shows how even the smallest interactions can make a big impact. Their website is a masterclass in how microinteractions can make complex tools feel approachable and engaging.
Hover over any visualization on their landing page and watch it come alive: pie charts spin, bar charts hover, and line graphs rotate. These aren’t just decorative flourishes.
Each colorful animation reinforces Graphy’s mission of turning complex data into easy-to-follow insights.
Tip: With Framer, you can enhance your site with engaging microinteractions using powerful animation tools like LottieFiles and Rive. Using each tool’s Framer plugin, you can design simple or complex animations and then drop them directly into your Framer website.
How to Build Interactive Websites with Framer
The key to creating compelling websites is thoughtful interactivity. With Framer, you can create engaging interactive user experiences without complex coding—from basic animations to advanced interactions.
1. Hook Users with Intro Animations
Framer’s animation capabilities let you create welcoming, dynamic experiences from the moment visitors land on your site. Rather than having content simply appear, you can orchestrate a welcoming experience where elements fade in, slide into place, or scale up in carefully timed sequences. Hover effects and page transitions can also make your website feel interactive without adding too much complexity.
Start simple: Begin with subtle fade-in animations for your hero section, then gradually introduce more complex animations as you become comfortable with the timing and flow. You can also adjust settings like opacity and rotation to add sophistication and match your brand’s personality.
2. Turn Scrolling into an Experience
With Framer’s scroll animation capabilities, you can transform static websites into story-driven experiences by triggering precise animations as users move through your content. From color-shifting navigation bars to scroll-activated videos, you can create sophisticated interactions that respond naturally to user behavior.
If you’re using video to tell your story, you can set up scroll variants that automatically control video playback as users scroll through your site. Similarly, you can dynamically adjust your navigation bar’s appearance and create transitions between sections using scroll-based triggers.
Timing is key: Animations should enhance the user experience without creating lag or disrupting natural scrolling patterns.
3. Immerse Users With 3D Effects
Framer’s powerful 3D transform features make it easy to add depth and perspective to your web projects. You can rotate elements, design interactive flip cards, and create interfaces that respond to movement in three dimensions, all while maintaining full editability on the canvas.
Try experimenting with basic 3D properties like rotation, perspective, skew, and depth. Then progress to more sophisticated animations like card flips and interactive 3D transforms. (Using the Transforms section in the property panel, you can rotate an object on the X, Y, and Z rotation axes.)
For even more impact, try combining 3D effects with Spline integration.
4. Make Your Content Dynamic
With Framer’s Carousel and Ticker components, you can easily present content in a more dynamic way. Carousels create smooth, scrollable content sections perfect for portfolios and product showcases.
Tickers create infinite content loops for use cases like testimonials and news feeds. Framer handles content duplication to make sure your infinite content loop doesn’t hurt performance.
Both components—which are powered by Motion—can be found in the Insert Panel. To get started, just drag them onto your web page and customize the properties.
5. Add Component Effects for Richer Interactions
Framer’s component effects allow you to add animations and interactions to components. You can define animations for properties like opacity, position, scale, and rotation, or trigger animations based on events, like scroll, hover, and click.
For example, you might design a gallery where images subtly tilt toward the cursor, fade in supporting text on hover, and smoothly expand to fullscreen with a parallax background when clicked.
Make sure to add component effects methodically layer by layer, so each subsequent effect works in concert with the original.
6. Deliver Smooth Performance
Framer has built-in performance optimizations, like granular Suspense boundaries, that make your interactive sites up to 50% faster. Still, sluggish performance is a risk when designing an interactive website, especially if the assets are resource-intensive.
To keep your site fast, optimize media assets before adding them to animations and use lazy loading for off-screen content.
Tip: Be careful not to overuse Appear Animations, especially above the fold.
Make Every Interaction Count
When building interactive websites, it’s tempting to add animations everywhere. But too many effects without purpose can slow down your site and confuse users. Instead—as you’ve seen in the examples above—focus on crafting memorable experiences that enhance your core message and guide users naturally through your content.
Use Framer’s powerful animation tools and effects to turn simple interactions into captivating moments that tell your story and keep users coming back for more.
