Product Introduction
- FrameShare is the first dedicated Framer plugin designed to integrate social share buttons into Framer websites without requiring coding expertise. It enables visitors to share website content directly to over 20 social media platforms, including Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and niche networks like Bluesky and VK. The plugin operates entirely within Framer’s visual editor, allowing users to drag and drop buttons onto any page or component.
- The core value lies in its ability to amplify website visibility by turning visitors into promoters, driving organic traffic through social shares. It eliminates technical barriers to implementing share functionality, making it accessible to designers, marketers, and small businesses using Framer. By automating metadata handling and platform-specific link generation, it ensures consistent social proof across all shared content.
Main Features
- Drag-and-Drop Social Share Buttons: Users can add pre-configured buttons for 20+ platforms directly onto Framer canvases through a visual interface. Buttons automatically pull the current page URL and title (where supported) to generate platform-specific share links. Customizable groupings allow horizontal or vertical arrangements for headers, footers, or content blocks.
- Full Design Customization: Buttons support granular styling adjustments, including color schemes, padding, border radius, and hover effects, to align with brand guidelines. Users can replace default icons with custom SVG files for unique branding. Responsive scaling ensures consistent display across mobile and desktop layouts.
- Dynamic CMS Integration: When added to Framer CMS collection pages (e.g., blogs), share buttons automatically adapt to each post’s URL and metadata. This eliminates manual setup for recurring content updates. The plugin also includes utility buttons for email sharing, copy-to-clipboard functionality, and print options.
Problems Solved
- No-Code Social Proof Implementation: Traditional methods require embedding third-party widgets or writing custom scripts, which conflict with Framer’s no-code ethos. FrameShare bypasses this by providing native plugin functionality with pre-built compliance for platform sharing protocols.
- Audience Targeting for Framer Users: Specifically addresses designers and agencies building client websites in Framer who need to demonstrate content reach. Ideal for portfolios, SaaS landing pages, and editorial sites requiring viral sharing mechanics.
- Cross-Platform Consistency: Solves fragmented sharing experiences by standardizing metadata extraction and link formatting across all supported platforms. Ensures shared content displays correct previews on social feeds without manual Open Graph tag adjustments.
Unique Advantages
- Native Framer Integration: Unlike external tools like AddThis or ShareThis, FrameShare operates within Framer’s design environment, preserving workflow continuity. Updates to button placements or styles sync automatically when republishing sites.
- Platform-Specific Optimization: Buttons leverage each network’s latest sharing APIs, including X’s tweet intent URLs and LinkedIn’s UTM parameter support. This maximizes engagement by adhering to platform-specific best practices.
- Cost-Efficient Licensing: A one-time $19 fee covers unlimited projects and future updates, contrasting with subscription-based alternatives. Includes priority support and a documented API for developers needing advanced modifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What social platforms does FrameShare support? The plugin supports Facebook, X, Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, VK, Weibo, WhatsApp, Telegram, and 10+ additional networks, including email and print. Platform coverage is updated quarterly based on API availability and user demand.
- Can I customize the shared page title or description? By default, buttons use the page’s Open Graph metadata, which can be modified in Framer’s page settings. Advanced customization requires manual code input via Framer’s “Override” panel, though this falls outside standard plugin functionality.
- Why is Instagram not included? Instagram restricts external link sharing to verified accounts or paid advertisements, making user-initiated post sharing technically unfeasible. The plugin focuses on platforms with open sharing APIs to ensure reliability.
