you want to use framer for small business sites and webflow for large business site. the only difference right now is the CMS. if you are already using a 3rd party CMS intergration, it doens't really matter. I use both and prefer framer becase I dont have to worry webflow server being down. and not being able to work. I also hate webflow nick picking everything thing and chargin where in framer I can get most things for free. theirs also a way to publish your framer site and an app with out redoing everything. it makes it easier to have a holistic enviornment when clients change the roadmap
This is great content. I’m in the process of starting a web design agency and I just learned webflow and have seen a lot of hype around framer. I’m coming to the conclusion of using both but as a beginner working with smaller clients I see a huge upside to framerz
@@TravelleMcManushi, I've been moving things around to start an agency myself. In case you're open to collaborate or at least explore the possibilities, it'll be great to connect and discuss. Thanks
Regarding Framer AI, you have to realise that this is just a exploitation of the current AI buzz, this is great marketing campaign for Framer, and it's aimed to attract attention to Framer and to be honest they did a great job promoting it, but Framer AI is nothing other than the gimmick feature, in my opinion barely usable, but it made me to make the profile and register on Framer and try it myself, and that was probably the sole purpose of the Framer AI. Maybe it's going to get better in the future but to be honest I doubt it.
I have decided to stick with Webflow instead of switching to Framer. Webflow is capable of handling everything Framer can do and much more things that Framer can't do
Personally I'll keep using Webflow for 99% of my workflows, however would you use framer if you needed a single landing page? I feel like the prices in Webflow is too high for a simple lander
Perhaps a video talking about Figma vs Framer and when/if it makes sense to start right in Framer or what Framer lacks compared to Figma or vice-versa?
in my limited understanding it seems that Figma is mostly used to visualise design prototypes (and collaborate with teams) and framer makes web designs responsive for publishing (something Figma can't do by itself?)
Solid prediction on Webflow vs. Framer future uses. That's exactly how I've been thinking of them. Will probably use Framer to spin up quick new product sites just to jumpstart web presence then Webflow to built out larger multi-page sites. I wonder how seo is in Framer, I know we've seen a lot of seo plugins for Webflow popping up
I think its naturally the course it will take seeing as its a cheaper option. People will use it as much as they can until they need something with more complexity. I'd use it for a simple site, but wouldn't for a webapp or ecom - who knows if that'll change too in the future
Framer is killer at SEO, also Framer is really good for large multi pages sites, whoever says it isn't really doesn't have a lot of experience with Framer.
@@itslocane412 in my experience using webflow ecomm I think Shopify was still light years ahead with integrations and all that. This was about two years ago tho
Hey, theyre both quite different softwares, framer is trying to be a one stop shop for designers in terms of website/development. Protopie is more of a mockup/prototype software for some of the biggest industries out there, like cars and apps etc. Let me know if that makes sense!
One big problem.. if you're creating a landing page for a client you need flexibility to use their own cms and technologies. You either need to use their tools that they have on their site admin area.. or you need to be able to convert your work into core web code and import into their site.. you cannot really have a tool that isnt that flexible. As far as I can see these tools only work if you build a site and content from scratch using their service and tools?
I am new to framer and one thing that pissed me off is that I cannot use grid system like in figma. maybe this is bcs I am new to this that I haven't figured it out yet. But does framer has a grid system like figma? all I can find is grid system that looks like bento grid. thx
Beginner here , so when you did a project for your client , are you the one who is to publish it or how do you give it to them after the project is done ?
Hey, thank you for this video. If I want to try Framer and build several different sites to practice, but not to publish, can I do that? I used Webflow some years ago and found it annoying that these "cold sites" were very limited even though I had a business membership. I am now using WordPress and find it really convenient to be able to play with as many test sites as I like.
@@ArnauRos He's aware of that. His question still stands: is it still true that Framer is not good for bigger projects? I'm wondering that too. Thanks!
Which one is best for print designers switching to web / ux design? And can I take the code produced in framer and upload it to my web host via CPanel?
Hey, Arnau, congrets for the content, it is really good I have a question: I saw some materials showing and talking about Framer being more sophisticated in the contet, as if the final product had an effective impact when we talk about websites prototypes. Are you felling something like this?
Hi Arnau, loved your video. I just have one question, can i use framer for an affiliate marketing website? For example, one simple landing page integrated with clickbank, it's possible with framer?
Thanks for the overview. I think I installed it around 2 years ago when one of my teachers was speaking about that, but never tried. Is it a new holder era? I just get used to Webflow 😅
can u do the backend of these pages made with framer, like link the page to a data base, some php and JavaScript and MySQL? because if i made the page with HTML CSS JavaScript, i could definitely do whatever i want in the page, but it would be easier if i can do them to a framer page, because it seems a lot easier than writing HTML and CSS.
Hey man great video! Quick question if I’m developing a website for people to signup and keep a profile, do you think it will be better after design it on Figma, to export to webflow or framer? Thanks
As a beginner I go straight to Framer as it is very similar to Figma. There’s no need for Webflow for me. So I guess it graps some new user marketshare.
This makes complete sense to me! Learning webflow is learning another language, going to Framer from Figma is much easier for beginners - Figma should really add that 'publish' button
Can Framer launch a fully responsive web/mobile site no-code - with room for some workflow coding complexity now- still allowing full user control of code for future scaling, customization or migration?
I understand what SEO is, but I'm asking, what do you want mean about it? Are you asking if Framer is a good tool for it, if you can look for keywords, if theres ai seo features, or if it just has seo capabilities built in? etc etc If you're just asking about framer's seo capabilities: www.framer.com/features/seo-performance/
@@ArnauRos Gotcha, So when i do the copy and paste from figma to framer, for some reason in the published site, it crops off the graphics.. Do you have to Insert all the sections and copy and paste the assets made in figma so that the site can appear full screen when published?
Do you recommend Framer for someone who doesn’t know anything about coding or figma? I’m not a designer, just a regular person trying to make a beautiful website. Do you still recommend?
i appreciate your outlook and that you stay relatively objective when it comes to the reality of the usage of this application. Fortuanely for us designers, the companies that make these products tend to stay in a uniform and consistent lane when it comes to the usability. I am however feeling "subscriptioned to death"... Cheers Guapo
Yep i feel it too! Luckily its a cheaper plan for a small site than what webflow would charge, so I see that as a positive for now. Who knows if they'll increase the prices once they have a better ecom setup?
Interesting... I just discovered Framer and I find it interesting, but I have a question! In my case, I only design what the website would look like since I use Divi to build later in Wordprees, so my question is, since I only do design, can I do everything directly in Framer? In which case is it done to export your design from figma to framer? I hope you can make me understand, I used google translate since I don't speak English 😁
Should I even start learning webflow or wordpress in deep right now in 2023? Or do you think its worth waiting a while until they will be replaced with new, more easy-to-use programs?
Can framer host my domain? Can i capture email leads and give coupons. I just started a notary business. I wanted a funnel. Do you recommend this or other programs like lightfunnels. I know Nothing about designing. Maybe getresponse
Interesting in comparison, but is 10 pages all it takes to be considered a “complex” site? 🙃 Figma’s other strength is that it scales well, even at the enterprise scale. Framer seems to work in this type of environment as well, but can anyone confirm? Anyone using framer at a company with full design org?
As a freelancer, do I need to keep a Framer Pro subscription every month after handing over a website to a client with 20K+ monthly visitors just to make sure the website work properly.
Framer could have been a much better product. But the with new direction it seems like framer yearns to be another website builder alternative. Framer motion, designer/developer integration, custom code overrides, react were features that made framer stood out in my opinion. Too bad...
Not sure if I’m wrong, i never used Framer but I followed from pretty much the beginning… I think it was another generic design tool, and they specialised to fill the gap and not just die of starvation trying to be Figma?
i understand! Yeah it was a video quite geared towards my usual audience that uses webflow on the daily. If you're more of a custom dev then Framer could also apply, if you need something quick out there then why not use framer you know?
Personally, I disagree. Webflow is deployed with jQuery framework, while Framer is deployed with react. Now both allows developers to integrate their project with an IDE so that you can use Webflow or Framer to design your react project and Webflow for react, angular and more. But since react it more common, the technical knowledge required is less when working with Framer. So coders may actually prefer Framer over Webflow because they get their interface as react component rather code they still have to translate to their frame work.
I see what you're saying, but honestly the average designer that just wants to launch a site doesn't really mind what its built on. As long as its reliable and deploys fast the customer is happy - both Webflow and Framer do that imo
I'm a fan of yours, but I'm going to be harsh here. Hope I don't come across as a prick. Here goes: 1. That you had to specify that Figma is a general design tool and Famer is for websites is bizarre. Though that is obvious to anyone who would design something, there is actually no reason why they cannot design whatever they would like to design in framer. 2. Framer is very suitable for blogs and does have a CMS. That it's not as robust as what you can do with Webflow is not a new take... 3. The point that you can tell when a site was made with framer is entirely disingenuous. That you can recognize it is a design tool like Figma and, in the same video, claim that designs that it produces look the same is ridiculous. Same point as #1 above. If you were to make the same comment about animations, I might understand. But that you could literally import any design you've ever made in Figma and then say that the designs that framer produces look the same is asinine. Framer's strong point is literally its design. Sorry, but this space is beginning to get overloaded with clickbaity videos with no substance.
Hey! I appreciate your comment, and you're not coming off as prickish at all. I believe it's these conversations that lead us to better content and growth :) 1. About your first point, it's true Figma and Framer are both robust design tools that can cater to a multitude of design scenarios. My intention wasn't to limit their usage, but to illustrate where they shine the most from my perspective. You're absolutely right, creativity knows no boundaries and these tools are adaptable to whatever the user wishes to design. 2. On the CMS and blog suitability point, I agree with you. I never claimed that it was a novel point. I'm simply stating my experiences and what I've found while using Framer. It does have a CMS, and it does work for blogs. My point was more towards its robustness in comparison to platforms like Webflow, which have a more refined and extensive CMS. 3. As for your third point, I can see why my statement might seem contradictory. I did not mean to imply that all designs produced by Framer look the same. Rather, I was expressing my observation that certain characteristics or traits of the tool can sometimes show through in the final design, giving it a distinctive "Framer" feel. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a point of note. You're right in saying that its adaptability is one of its strongest features. Again, thank you for your honest critique. This kind of feedback helps me deliver better, more accurate content. It's always valuable to hear different perspectives, so I'm thankful you took the time to share your opinion 🚀🚀
framer is the worst garbage i have ever used. literally every single thing is buggy and you cant even delete or unpublish projects LMAO. is that a joke? how is that a good design?! it is so frustrating. how am i supposed to create good designs with a tool that has the most frustrating dogshit design ever?!
@@ArnauRos I am really sorry for my language lol. I was really frustrated at the time, because framer failed me and I had to finish up my website for the next day. But that doesn't excuse it. Their AI website generator is kind of cool though. Again, I am sorry.
@@brianna21314 i am just speaking the truth. maybe it works for you because you and the tool you use are both incompetent. good luck with your garbage "designs". you not being able to unpublish or delete projects is a big problem with the design, and i am not even going to start with how buggy some of the things are. maybe you dont have enough design knowledge realize but it is okay, nobody is perfect.
You should definetely not learn framer for one simple reason. They just can't find their niche so they constanrly completely changing their core product. They started from pure mobile solution focusing on app. Then they decided that they want to basically do something similar to figma and now they promoting them as a CMS for landing pages. Who knows where they gonna be in next two years or so.
Thats a good point! They've changed a lot in recent years, I think with their AI solution their seems a bit more directed, but again who knows what they will do
Have you tried using framer yet? A lot of people are Webflow users here, so let me know your experience!

Why not just make a radon domain and make lots of subdomain sites to show different sites live
If you want be price gouged to host more than 1 website use framer. Can’t believe they don’t allow html export like every other no code designer.

So coders may actually prefer Framer over Webflow because they get their interface as react component rather code they still have to translate to their frame work.
I see what you're saying, but honestly the average designer that just wants to launch a site doesn't really mind what its built on. As long as its reliable and deploys fast the customer is happy - both Webflow and Framer do that imo
I'm a fan of yours, but I'm going to be harsh here. Hope I don't come across as a prick. Here goes:
1. That you had to specify that Figma is a general design tool and Famer is for websites is bizarre. Though that is obvious to anyone who would design something, there is actually no reason why they cannot design whatever they would like to design in framer.
2. Framer is very suitable for blogs and does have a CMS. That it's not as robust as what you can do with Webflow is not a new take...
3. The point that you can tell when a site was made with framer is entirely disingenuous. That you can recognize it is a design tool like Figma and, in the same video, claim that designs that it produces look the same is ridiculous. Same point as #1 above. If you were to make the same comment about animations, I might understand. But that you could literally import any design you've ever made in Figma and then say that the designs that framer produces look the same is asinine. Framer's strong point is literally its design.
Sorry, but this space is beginning to get overloaded with clickbaity videos with no substance.
Hey! I appreciate your comment, and you're not coming off as prickish at all. I believe it's these conversations that lead us to better content and growth :)
1. About your first point, it's true Figma and Framer are both robust design tools that can cater to a multitude of design scenarios. My intention wasn't to limit their usage, but to illustrate where they shine the most from my perspective. You're absolutely right, creativity knows no boundaries and these tools are adaptable to whatever the user wishes to design.
2. On the CMS and blog suitability point, I agree with you. I never claimed that it was a novel point. I'm simply stating my experiences and what I've found while using Framer. It does have a CMS, and it does work for blogs. My point was more towards its robustness in comparison to platforms like Webflow, which have a more refined and extensive CMS.
3. As for your third point, I can see why my statement might seem contradictory. I did not mean to imply that all designs produced by Framer look the same. Rather, I was expressing my observation that certain characteristics or traits of the tool can sometimes show through in the final design, giving it a distinctive "Framer" feel. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a point of note. You're right in saying that its adaptability is one of its strongest features.
Again, thank you for your honest critique. This kind of feedback helps me deliver better, more accurate content. It's always valuable to hear different perspectives, so I'm thankful you took the time to share your opinion 🚀🚀
short answer YES! learn it, bye bye Figma
aha I wish it was that easy! Maybe if you do websites then yes
Framer is totally out with their pricing if you want to have different locales. $40 per locale? Silly.
Do you know, how to use Tailwind CSS classes in components of framer as tailwind playground?
Was this sponsored by Webflow?
I wish!
For client work ? No. For testing ideas ? sure!
Great use case!
Yeah in Europe u need Cookie Banners for legal reasons... With Tier 4 (30/Mo) you get it... f framer
You somewhat look shirtless in the thumbnail. Lol. I had to look twice.
framer is the worst garbage i have ever used. literally every single thing is buggy and you cant even delete or unpublish projects LMAO. is that a joke? how is that a good design?! it is so frustrating. how am i supposed to create good designs with a tool that has the most frustrating dogshit design ever?!
interesting take, I haven't had it break on me yet
@@ArnauRos I am really sorry for my language lol. I was really frustrated at the time, because framer failed me and I had to finish up my website for the next day. But that doesn't excuse it. Their AI website generator is kind of cool though. Again, I am sorry.
Blaming tools for incompetence. While I'm here completing my brutalist homepage in just one day just using Framer without any design tool.
@@brianna21314 i am just speaking the truth. maybe it works for you because you and the tool you use are both incompetent. good luck with your garbage "designs". you not being able to unpublish or delete projects is a big problem with the design, and i am not even going to start with how buggy some of the things are. maybe you dont have enough design knowledge realize but it is okay, nobody is perfect.
You should definetely not learn framer for one simple reason. They just can't find their niche so they constanrly completely changing their core product. They started from pure mobile solution focusing on app. Then they decided that they want to basically do something similar to figma and now they promoting them as a CMS for landing pages. Who knows where they gonna be in next two years or so.
Thats a good point! They've changed a lot in recent years, I think with their AI solution their seems a bit more directed, but again who knows what they will do
