What is CMS in Framer?

A Content Management System (CMS) in Framer is a powerful feature that allows you to manage and display dynamic content on your website. Unlike static web pages with hardcoded content, a CMS enables you to store, edit, and reuse information like blog posts, product listings, or portfolio items effortlessly. 

How Does It Work?

Framer's CMS integrates seamlessly into your website projects. You can create data collections, such as a list of articles, projects, or team members, and connect them to your design elements. Each item in your collection acts as a database entry, which can include fields like titles, descriptions, images, and links.

Key Features of Framer CMS:

1. Dynamic Content Updates
   The CMS lets you update your website content without touching the developed site. Simply edit the data in your collection, and it will automatically reflect across all linked components on your site.
