Pros & Cons
Framer
Pros
- Designers who know Figma pick up the canvas quickly and keep fine control over layout, typography and motion.
- Hosting on an edge CDN, the CMS and SEO tools are built in, so a site goes live in one click with no separate deploy step.
- Scroll, hover and transition animations can be built without code, which suits motion-heavy landing pages.
- A/B testing and funnels are available through the Convert add-on, so marketers can run tests without a separate tool.
- Designing is free, and paid hosting starts at $10 a month per site.
Cons
- Costs stack up quickly: $20 per editor, $20 per locale, and paid blocks for pages, CMS items and bandwidth.
- It has no native e-commerce. Selling products needs Shopify or embedded checkout tools such as Stripe.
- The CMS is basic compared with WordPress, with tight collection limits on lower tiers.
- Reviewers call it user-friendly but not beginner-friendly, and its plugin ecosystem is smaller than Webflow's or WordPress's.
- Support for code and third-party plugin issues is limited and often redirected to the community.
