Absolute Positioning in Framer

The beautiful thing about Absolute positioning for us visual designers is that we get to drag things around and position them in a super freeform way — just like working in the design tools we know and love.

But when it comes to building well-structured, responsive websites, there’s a bit more to it — so let’s take a deeper look at the ins and outs of Absolute positioning, what it can do for us, and when it makes the most sense to use.

Loving these videos. Even as someone who uses Framer and experiments with the platform a lot, I love to see how you guys intended the tools to be used and if there’s anything new to learn from the fundamentals. Keep them coming!

You are the best teacher! I thought I already knew all about Absolute Positioning. But watching your video was such a lightbulb moment into understanding how framer makes things work and forming a mental model around it. Thank you for questioning how framer does things and explaining nuances like pinning, z-index. Please keep content flowing. Can't wait to learn more!

yay that was great, really looking forward to the rest of the vids.
it would be really helpful if you could do a video about Distribution in Layout panel, specifically Space Between / Around / Evenly (auto gap), as there's no explanation about it anywhere.

Very well explained!! Thanks for sharing :)👍

Hi
How can I make

position: absolute;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0 auto;

I don’t see this option in Framer’s element settings.

You should consider introduce to the page transitions a funtion that can make a transition with a mask (SVG or shapes) this will be amasing

Please add Adobe Fonts it’s literally the only thing stopping me from moving to Framer

[sohrabkhan]

Why don't we have the option to choose value in percentages instead of pixels with top left right and bottom

[badsevenfirefoxisback]

We need union selection, hello framer, do you hear us?

In this way the entire course will take almost 6months to complete. Stop being so slow and try to upload quicker 🤡

This software is a toy. Their update broke the function of a basic site. I wouldn't trust this platform for anything beyond a high school project
