Content Management System

Framer’s CMS (Content Management System) is the backbone of your documentation strategy. Whether dealing with product specifications, API references, company wikis or procedural guides, Framer’s CMS ensures that your content is organized, accessible, and up-to-date. It’s not just about managing content; it’s about creating an intuitive and structured user experience.

Leverage Framer’s versatile CMS Collections to organize your documentation with precision. Tailored to suit a range of content types such as Articles, FAQs, Changelogs, Manuals, or Use Cases, Collections empower you to create a well-structured and easily navigable documentation ecosystem. Framer’s CMS Pages further contribute by acting as templates, instantly applying consistent layout and style across related pages. CMS Pages help you maintain a cohesive design throughout your documentation, enabling easy content updates. Additionally, sorting and filtering within a CMS Collection enable effective data organization using selected criteria like date, author, or category.

Code Blocks and Inline Code

Framer’s support for Code Blocks in the CMS is a game-changer for organizations dealing with technical products or complex processes. Code Blocks allow you to directly integrate snippets of code into your documentation. Code Blocks ensure accuracy and consistency, as developers can directly copy and paste code segments into their projects. Whether you’re illustrating API references, configuration settings, or troubleshooting steps, Framer’s Code Blocks feature enhances the technical clarity and accessibility of your documentation, catering to a specialized audience.
