How to Deploy Your Framer AI-Built App
Step-by-step guide to deploying your Framer AI app to production. Covers React with Framer Motion for animations deployment, environment variables, and production configuration.
What Framer AI generates
Framer AI typically generates projects using React with Framer Motion for animations, Framer's built-in CMS for content, and TypeScript where code components are used. Framer is a visual website builder with AI generation and custom React component support. Understanding the stack is important because it determines your deployment options and the specific configuration you'll need.
Where to deploy
Framer provides its own hosting with built-in CDN and SSL. For custom backends or data integrations, external services are called from Framer's code components or via Framer's CMS data sources
Step-by-step deployment
Publish the Framer project to a custom domain through Framer's publishing flow. Configure the custom domain in DNS with Framer's records. If using Framer CMS, set up content and publish. For code components that call external APIs, configure those APIs for the Framer domain. Set up Framer's SEO settings for each page
Environment variables
One of the most common deployment failures is missing or misconfigured environment variables. Framer AI apps often hardcode values during development that need to be externalized for production. Audit every file for hardcoded URLs, API keys, and configuration values. Create a .env.example file listing every required variable. Set these in your hosting platform's dashboard before deploying.
Post-deployment checklist
After deploying, verify: HTTPS is enforced on all routes, custom domain is configured and resolving, environment variables are correctly loaded, all features work in production (not just locally), error tracking is capturing exceptions, and performance is acceptable under real conditions.
Common deployment mistakes
The most frequent issues we see in Framer AI deployments: forgetting to set environment variables (causing startup crashes), not testing the production build locally before deploying, missing build dependencies, and using development configurations in production.
