# Modular Frame
> **Legacy feature**
>
> The Coveo Hive Framework is now in maintenance mode and is no longer recommended for new implementations.
> 
> To build new search experiences, use one of Coveo's more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries.
> To get started, see the [Build search](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2473/) article.

![Coveo for Sitecore Specific Rendering](c4sc-v5/sitecore-20-px-new.png)
 The **Modular Frame** creates an HTML layout containing only high-level placeholders.
The **Modular Frame** allows very flexible page-building using the Sitecore **Experience Editor**.

  <h3>Coveo Hive SXA</h3>
  <p>The Coveo for Sitecore SXA package doesn't include frames and SXA sites are incompatible with the non-SXA Coveo Hive frame renderings. To position and size your Coveo for Sitecore SXA renderings, use Sitecore page structure renderings in combination with the SXA grid system.</p>
