Framer

I chose Framer because it uniquely combines prototyping power with production-ready deployment. Unlike Figma (design only) or Webflow (steeper learning curve), Framer lets me iterate quickly and ship polished, interactive sites directly to clients. The animation capabilities and no-code flexibility give me the creative control I need without sacrificing speed.

Amazing concept. It appears to be in its early stage of development. I love how fast the AI generated a design. The generated text was spot on and clearly communicated the value prop. The typography was beautiful. But sadly, it's very formulaic (only a few templates and isn't free flow) and has a long way to go before widespread usage. The chosen colour palettes were bland and didn't usually follow the website's theme. The generated images were weird and, most times, felt random. I'm super excited, though, as to where they will take this from here. Looking forward to future updates.

Great for Simple Websites, But Limiting for Advanced Needs Some Key Issues: Lack of CMS Flexibility: Framer's CMS is quite basic. For projects requiring robust content management, it doesn't hold up compared to platforms like Webflow or custom-built solutions. The Notion API implementation is limited—for example, you can’t display inline videos in database pages. Single Password Page Protection: There’s no easy way to set up single password protection for individual pages, which makes creating private areas or restricted content unnecessarily complex. Localization Options: Localization is to expensive, making it a poor choice for multilingual sites. No Zapier Integration: Framer doesn’t natively integrate with Zapier, requiring workarounds like using fetch to connect external automation tools manually. Overpriced for Limitations: The platform’s pricing doesn’t align with its feature set. Competitors like Webflow offer far more flexibility and functionality at a comparable cost, while custom Next.js sites provide even greater scalability for professional projects. Unresponsive Support: Customer support is often slow to respond, which compounds the frustration of trying to work around the platform’s restrictions. Also don't really resolve issues. Conclusion: Maybe great for simple websites. For me it is not suitable for projects requiring advanced CMS functionality or integrations. For these needs, tools like Webflow, Zapier-friendly platforms, or a custom-built Next.js site are far superior and cheaper. Given the limitations and high price point and poor support, I often can’t recommend Framer to my clients as-well.

It still has a way to go to be able to compete with the advanced functionalities of Webflow but it is a good tool for making simple websites. → The benefits compared to Webflow: Cheaper, easier to use and learn. Launch faster. Insert quick pre-made animations and interactions. → Where Webflow still is king: Advanced and complex websites are not a thing in Framer right now. For sites with big CMS Framer still lacks many functionalities. If you are a designer Webflow freedom to build anything as you imagine is amazing, Framer sites, on the other hand, look all alike the same with these rounded squares modules, etc. If you are a developer, Webflow will give you much more freedom by tweaking and customizing the code. If they keep developing Framer at the pace they are doing it, I have no doubt it will become a designer and developer's tool of choice sooner than later.

I have to say this version is way much more friendly to the no-code. Though I understand how framer is trying to create a middle shared ground for the no-code and the code-savvy, the bar was high if an intrigued user who has zero background in design or coding wants to get his/her hands on framer. However, there are still a lot of problems with the coding part. Like, my colleague and I were once accidentally trying to add on the coding lines at the same time, and something went wrong, and the whole project blew up and shut down... lol... don't do the coding at the same time... one person at each time...

I'm a product designer so I am always experimenting with tools as early as I can to illustrate a concept. From the onboarding and interactive tutorial to the simplicity of the UI, Framer has been wonderful to use. Also I'm not sure if people know but there is even a plugin in Figma called Framer Copy Paste where you can copy your design and paste right into Framer. Some of my favorite things about Framer are: - The way they do component creation + variants - Style management - Breakpoints - Ease of use

Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better tool. I love the look and feel of many Webflow pages, but setting one up was way too technical and time-consuming for us. With Framer, I was able to set up and launch our AdAmigo.ai website after just one afternoon of work — and we’ve never outgrown it since. I can A/B test landing pages with just a few minutes of configuration, we launched a blog, and we’ve been able to achieve everything else we needed. Love Framer!!

I really like the concept behind f4ramers, the platform feels fresh and has a lot of potential for creators who want flexibility and control. The UI is clean, and onboarding was smoother than I expected. Definitely feels like something that can stand out in its niche. That said, a few things could be improved: performance can feel a bit laggy at times, and some features feel half-baked (especially compared to more mature competitors). The community aspect is promising, but it still feels quiet and needs more engagement to really shine.

Misleading pricing. Max non-custom plan is 100gb of bandwidth, which they advertise as 100.000 visitors/month. So each visitor can spend 1mb of bandwidth. EDIT: Seems to be no reply button so I have to reply this way. It’s misleading in the sense that you initially mention all your plans with only the amount of visitors per month listed. Conveniently leaving out the extremely low bandwidth. From there you can directly purchase without seeing the low bandwidth unless your scroll all the way down. While theoretically you could reach 100k visitors with 100gb, most websites would run out bandwidth far before 100k visitors. It also says it’s targeted at “bigger websites”. This also doesn’t make sense as bigger websites will easily use over 1 mb of bandwidth when browsing multiple pages. The amount of visitors you advertise is very unlikely to be reached for most websites. 1mb per visitor is not realistic for most websites. It would be different if you included the bandwidth in the first part of your pricing, but leaving out the much more likely to be hit limit of 100gb bandwidth while having a purchase button there, is misleading. EDIT 2: My apologies if the pricing was indeed not intentionally set up that way. I commend you for looking into it.
