Man! This is such a valuable video. Will consider your masterclass. Seems that you are one of the few creators that ACTUALLY gets it... I was also thinking, becoming a Framer expert and also becoming a Webflow expert, plus mastering UI principles and UX psychology, is a great goal. I'm currently hunting for that, what do you think?

[@studiophantomanimation]

Informative and no nonsense. Thank you. Subbed

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for the sub!

[@daliafatima8463]

Thanks to clarify these doubts.

[@sdjoy1940]

Thank you so much

[@chicpak3329]

I really wanted to do CMS sort like finsweet on framer. Can framer do that?

[@codinginflutter1234]

super excited

[@Trazynn]

What I miss on KZbin is videos that look further into using components as optional CMS items. Like adding a quote or a button for certain blogs, but not for other bogs.

I have been using Framer since a few months and honestly its been amazing. I have started building websites for clients as freelancer designer. However, I am struggling to make a E-comm website for one of my friend who sells artworks here in India. I feel the backend support to run it is missing. Do y'all see that changing anytime in the near future?

[@feelcollins4358]

personally yes, framer has the potential of being the main powerhouse web builder for designers, sure they're still inferior in some aspects such as what you mentioned compared to let's say webflow but i dont doubt they'll tackle those issues as framer has got an amazing team rn

[@KalvinPatel]

Do yall recommend webflow or framer right now? I think im switching from Semplice/wordpress to Webflow but not sure. I’m still a novice at this and learning so any tips I would welcome.

[@nathanielredmon]

@@KalvinPatel I would honestly learn webflow as once you learn webflow (a harder learning curve but more possibilities) you'll be able to transfer those skills anywhere (like framer) easily.

[@felcastt]

@@nathanielredmon Yes, that is true or you could become a framer expert and then move into Webflow. Since Webflow is like learning a new language.

[@KalvinPatel]

@@nathanielredmon Ah gotcha! I just gotta figure out how to point the GoDaddy DNS to webflow once I get that installed. I have Bluehost but I stopped auto renew, now need to switch over

Hey flux academy, question here, How can I create a figma frame of 1440x1024 responsive on website so it won't loose its quality and look same on mobile screens

[@Psyshimmer]

Not sure if I'm understanding your question, but you should never scale a 1440px resolution to mobile. It would be unusable. You need to condense the frame size, reorder elements, etc.

[@hyperbang8849]

@@Psyshimmer hey thanks, so here’s the context I am building my agency website. for it I am making a on site carousel portfolio in framer for desktop and tablet it’s fine but I am struggling so much for mobile responsiveness. Can you help me with this.

[@Psyshimmer]

@@hyperbang8849 I would need to see the file or website to give a more precise suggestion, but you just treat the carousel exactly as you normally would on larger screens but condense the carousel objects to fit mobile screens and leave room on the margins of the page for the proceeding and preceding carousel objects to peek out to hint to the user that they can swipe to access other parts of the carousel. Just search on KZbin "Image carousel Mavi Design" and that will give you a good idea of how to treat it.

[@siletotsiras]

​@@hyperbang8849I can help you

[@oVISTASEK]

@@hyperbang8849 you have to build from scratch some element might stay the same dimension, text is for sure to build from 0 and reorganize everything a well

[@D0J0Master]

What about ecommerce?

[@hyperadapted]

Its all cool but having to pay all the time for each extra is just unreasonable overhead.

[@Adrian-Sko]

$40/mo just for a language locale is absurd, add more basic functionalities that need to be handled by third party plugins on a monthly subscription, and suddenly WordPress isn't looking that bad. Try convincing your client that this $200/mo for a website is worth it, and in any way better that a $50/mo website on WP that does the same thing.

[@Psyshimmer]

@@Adrian-Sko I haven't looked into Webflow in many months, but don't they also charge this same amount for language locale?

[@Adrian-Sko]

@@Psyshimmer $9 or $29 per locale depending on the needs. Still it's crazy. As much as I love Webflow and Framer, clients don't care and just prefer WordPress - free, more customizable with the help of a real developer, and helps the business achieve the same goal a site on Framer or Webflow would, just for less. No-code tools are stupidly expensive, and sure, they help us - designers, but from a client's perspective, it makes no sense to pay that much monthly fee for a site, when you can have the exact same site on WP for basically free.

[@oVISTASEK]

@@Adrian-Sko what are you talking about? is it not just 15$ p/m the subscription you pay for hosting and for the website?

[@Adrian-Sko]

@@oVISTASEK $15 for a website - yes, but if you want to add language localization, you have to pay additinal $40 per every single language you might need. The price is absurd. Say you have a website in English, that's about $15-$20 depending on the plan you choose, but if you want to have this site also in Spanish and French, you have to pay another $80 / month

[@Applecitylightkiwi]

But webflow custom code is already a lot of money a month. It really depends on the goal yeah

[@Iloveilab]

Hi Matt! Is the 30% still available?

[@panchalaayush15]
