Reviewers largely see Framer as a fast, design-first way to build polished websites, especially for landing pages, prototypes, and responsive marketing sites. They repeatedly praise its smooth animations, Figma-like workflow, solid performance, and ability to go from idea to live site quickly. Makers of

and others say it is flexible and fast enough for real sites, not just mockups. The main caveats are a steeper-than-expected learning curve, limits in CMS, integrations, and complex site needs, plus recurring complaints about pricing and support.

Delivers on the promise of remix-ability with components and developing websites in a canvas makes so much sense.

Does the job. Web studios is nice, but development is slower due to it's size. They're hard workers though.

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.

To be honest, not that easy to use, the mouse scroll direction is the opposite as i usually used, the interaction design is not user friendly, and not easy to learn for a beginner. I gave it up after using for 2 hrs and found Dora, much easier to use.

Love Framer Sites - experienced a couple of bugs here and there but the Framer team has been SUPER helpful and prompt in ironing them up. Would love to see documentation + webflow style video tutorials (both of which are in the works I believe)!
