Framer
A visual website builder that combines design and publishing, letting designers ship production-ready sites without writing code.
Why this tool?
Framer bridges the gap between design and development. You design visually with real components and interactions, then publish directly to a CDN—no engineering handoff, no Webflow export, no separate deployment step. The result is a real website, not a prototype.

v0
An AI UI generator by Vercel that turns text prompts into production-ready React components with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
Why this tool?
v0 generates ready-to-copy React and Tailwind code from a text or image prompt. Instead of building UI from scratch, you describe a component, get production-quality code using shadcn/ui patterns, and iterate conversationally—cutting UI scaffolding time dramatically.
