Can Framer handle custom code?

Most Framer sites don't need custom code at all. The built-in components handle the vast majority of marketing site requirements. But for projects that need something specific (a custom calculator, a third-party integration, a unique animation, a complex form workflow) custom code components fill the gap. They're written in React and slot into the design canvas like any other component. This makes Framer flexible enough for production use without forcing teams to rebuild everything from scratch. The pitfall is the opposite of what most people assume: it's not that Framer can't handle custom code, it's that some teams reach for custom code too early and over-engineer things that the built-in components could handle. The right approach is to use the visual tools first and only drop into code when there's a specific reason to.
