Full Review
Framer targets designers who want pixel-perfect layouts, micro-interactions, and live previews in one browser-based tool Elegant Themes.
Its component system and motion presets feel closer to Figma prototypes than to traditional site builders.
Once past the learning curve, Framer's instant publishing, SEO panel, and CMS collections make shipping landing pages surprisingly fast—though reviewers warn beginners may struggle at first Experte.com.
Lack of deep e-commerce features and tiered traffic caps mean agencies might still pick Webflow for bigger client sites, but for design-driven marketing pages Framer shines.
