About Framer
Framer pivoted from a Figma competitor to a website builder around 2022 and has executed that pivot with discipline. The result is the closest thing in 2026 to 'Figma for the live site' — designers build, the result is the production output, no engineering handoff. The CMS, SEO surfaces, and integrations are all credible. The trade-offs: the platform owns the rendering stack (you can't take your code with you), pricing is per-site rather than flat, and complex marketing site interactions still hit walls.
✓Best for
- Solo founders who want a marketing site that looks designed, not built from a template
- Designers shipping their own client work end-to-end
- Landing pages and product pages where animation quality matters
−Probably skip if
- Anyone who needs to own the underlying code (no real export)
- Heavy content sites with hundreds of CMS items — better fits exist
- Apps with real interactivity — wrong category
