How to Export Framer Sites to React Components

Step 1: Inspect Framer's rendered output

// Open your Framer site in Chrome DevTools
// Navigate to Elements tab
// Framer renders a structure like:

<div id="__framer-badge-container">
  <div data-framer-page-optimized>
    <div data-framer-component="Hero">
      <h1>Your Heading</h1>
      <p>Your paragraph text</p>
      <a href="/contact">CTA Button</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

// Extract each data-framer-component into
// its own React component file

Step 2: Create React components

// components/Hero.tsx
import { motion } from 'framer-motion';

interface HeroProps {
  title: string;
  subtitle: string;
  ctaText: string;
  ctaLink: string;
}

export function Hero({ title, subtitle, ctaText, ctaLink }: HeroProps) {
  return (
    <motion.section
      className="hero-section"
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.6 }}
    >
      <h1>{title}</h1>
      <p>{subtitle}</p>
      <a href={ctaLink} className="cta-button">
        {ctaText}
      </a>
    </motion.section>
  );
}

Step 3: Extract and organize styles

/* styles/hero.module.css */
/* Copy computed styles from DevTools */
/* Convert absolute positions to flexbox/grid */

.hero-section {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  min-height: 80vh;
  padding: 4rem 2rem;
  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
}

.hero-section h1 {
  font-size: clamp(2rem, 5vw, 4rem);
  font-weight: 800;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  max-width: 800px;
}

/* Convert Framer's fixed breakpoints to fluid typography */
