Updates

Starting today, you can add and customize empty states for CMS collection lists directly in the Canvas. When a collection is empty, or when filters return no results, you can now show a dedicated empty state instead of a blank space in the preview and on published sites. To add one, select a collection list, switch the new State property to Empty, and add an empty state layer in one click. Framer automatically manages visibility using a new Visible Items variable, while you stay in full control of layout, styling, and content. So you can add text, icons, buttons, and links to guide visitors and make empty pages feel intentional and useful. This is the first step toward more dynamic CMS collections, with plenty more coming. Here’s a list of other additions:

We’re introducing Advanced Hosting, bringing built‑in Multi Site and Custom Headers to Framer. Multi Site lets you host multiple sites, whether other Framer projects or external sources, under one unified domain. This enables gradual page migration or the splitting of larger websites into multiple projects while keeping a seamless URL. With the Custom Headers feature, you are now able to extend Framer’s defaults with ordered, wildcard‑friendly custom rules for security and more. We’re also introducing Domains to the dashboard, bringing all your workspace domains to the sidebar for quick access to a domain overview plus a centralized management of Multi Site, Headers, and Redirects—empowering you to migrate and manage even the most complex site.

Advanced Hosting is available for teams on our Enterprise plan. Teams on the Pro or Scale plan can request private beta access using this form and try these features for free for a limited time.

Today, we’re shipping an update where we offer a free custom domain for the first year when you upgrade your site to a yearly plan. We’ve partnered with Hover to provide a seamless flow where you can select a free or discounted domain that will be automatically connected to your Framer site after purchase. To make use of this offer, upgrade your site to a yearly plan, then head over to the Domains tab in your project settings and select the “Claim a free custom domain” option.

• This offer can be redeemed once per subscription

• This offer is available only for sites on a yearly plan

• Your domain will automatically renew at the standard rate

• Redeeming this offer forfeits the option to request a refund

• This offer is not valid in combination with a 100% discount code

• Your domain and its subscription will be managed through Hover

On-Page Editing in Framer is now more flexible and powerful for both designers and editors. Editors can rearrange content directly on the page, including text, frames, and components, making it easy to reorder elements like sublines, cards, and sections, and experiment with what content should appear first or last. Visual updates are faster too, with the ability to swap icons and component variants with a single click, to better match the content of a page. Designers remain in full control by locking specific layers or sections in Framer using ⌘ + L to prevent accidental changes, while still enabling fast, intentional edits. Additionally, On-Page Editing now fully supports Localization, allowing real time updates to localized text and images simply by visiting a localized page and clicking Edit. By popular demand, the circular Edit button can now be moved anywhere on the screen to avoid overlapping site content, and teams using On-Page Editing extensively can easily manage notifications from email updates for a specific project.
