Framer · custom code components
React components that feel built into Framer.
When Framer's built-in elements hit their ceiling, I build custom React code components that are reusable, configurable, and on-brand. Interactions, data-driven UI, and effects the default library simply can't do.
When you need a code component
Framer ends where your idea begins.
The default library covers a lot, until you need a custom interaction, live data, a custom chart, or an effect no preset can do. A code component drops a real React component into Framer with editable property controls, so designers keep full control without touching code.
Components I build

What's included
Configurable, reusable, yours.
Everything that ships with a code component.
- 01
Property controls
Every component exposes editable controls in Framer, so designers tweak it without code.
- 02
Reusable & on-brand
Built to your design tokens and reusable across pages and projects, not one-offs.
- 03
Data-driven UI
Components that fetch from an API or CMS to render live, dynamic content inside Framer.
- 04
Accessible by default
Keyboard support, focus states, and ARIA built in, because interactive doesn't mean inaccessible.
- 05
Performance-minded
Lightweight, lazy where it helps, and animated on GPU-friendly properties for smooth scroll.
- 06
Documented handoff
Clear docs on each control so your team can reuse and configure components confidently.
Component types
The components I build.
When Framer's built-in elements can't do it, I build custom React code components. Here are the kinds of things that usually means, all editable right in the Framer canvas.
Interactive UI
- Custom sliders, carousels, tabs, and accordions.
- Menus, modals, and multi-step flows.
- Anything past what the default library offers.
Data-driven
- Components that fetch and render live data.
- Pricing tables, feeds, and mini dashboards.
- CMS-connected custom layouts.
Motion and canvas
- Physics, cursor, and scroll-driven effects.
- SVG and canvas visuals.
- WebGL and shader accents.
Integrations and utilities
- Forms with real validation and submission.
- Third-party embeds handled properly.
- Helpers exposed with editable property controls.
Each component ships with clean property controls, so your team can configure and reuse it across the site without touching code.
Decision aid
Code component, or default element?
Defaults cover standard layouts; code components are for custom, dynamic UI.
Process
How it works.
From definition to documented handoff.
Define the component
We agree what it does, the controls designers need, and how it should behave and animate.
Build in React
I build a typed React code component with Framer property controls and your design tokens.
Wire data & motion
Any API/CMS data and interactions are added, then tuned for performance and accessibility.
Test in Framer
Dropped into your project and tested across breakpoints, devices, and edge cases.
Handoff
Documented controls and usage notes so your team can reuse it anywhere.

FAQ
Common questions.
- A custom React component you drop into Framer like any other element, with editable property controls. It lets you add interactions, logic, and live data that Framer's default library can't do, while designers still configure it visually.
- Yes. I expose property controls for the things you'll want to change (text, colours, speed, data source) so designers tweak the component in Framer without touching React.
- Yes. Code components can fetch from an API or CMS and render dynamic content (counters, feeds, charts, or anything data-driven) inside your Framer site.
- I build to your design tokens and bake in keyboard support, focus states, and ARIA, so components feel native to your site and remain accessible.
- Either. I build one-off components or a reusable library your team can use across pages and projects, with documentation for each.
