Reviewers broadly see Framer as a fast, design-first way to ship polished websites, especially landing pages, with responsive layouts, strong animation tools, solid performance, and a workflow that feels familiar to Figma users. Many say it helps designers and founders launch in hours, not days, and some teams report scaling marketing sites quickly. Makers of BeforeSunset AI, Paste, and Dodo Payments leave no detailed notes, while other makers and users consistently praise flexibility and speed. The main complaints are a steeper-than-expected learning curve, limited CMS and integrations for complex sites, uneven support, and pricing concerns.

What's great

easy to use (53)fast performance (24)no-code platform (34)

As someone who builds complex backend architectures and deployment pipelines, spending days tweaking CSS and frontend layouts for a landing page is a massive productivity killer. Framer is fantastic because it perfectly aligns with the "build and ship fast" mindset. It allows me to design and publish highly responsive, visually stunning websites in hours instead of days. The performance out of the box is incredible, and the no-code environment feels intuitive, letting me focus my coding efforts on the actual core product rather than the marketing site.

What needs improvement

While it's the perfect tool for fast landing pages, the CMS functionality can feel a bit restrictive if you are trying to build more complex, data-driven structures. Additionally, if you are an indie hacker or a developer spinning up multiple micro-projects and staging environments, the pricing structure per site can scale up faster than expected compared to traditional hosting.

vs Alternatives

I considered Webflow, WordPress, and simply hard-coding my landing pages from scratch using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I chose Framer over custom coding because it dramatically reduces my time-to-market. I chose it over Webflow because Framer's interface feels much more like a modern design tool (similar to Figma), making the transition from design to a live, fast-performing site completely seamless without a steep learning curve.

I'm a product designer so I am always experimenting with tools as early as I can to illustrate a concept. From the onboarding and interactive tutorial to the simplicity of the UI, Framer has been wonderful to use. Also I'm not sure if people know but there is even a plugin in Figma called Framer Copy Paste where you can copy your design and paste right into Framer. Some of my favorite things about Framer are: - The way they do component creation + variants - Style management - Breakpoints - Ease of use

Great when you need a simple website straight from Figma. Love how they work together.

I have to say this version is way much more friendly to the no-code. Though I understand how framer is trying to create a middle shared ground for the no-code and the code-savvy, the bar was high if an intrigued user who has zero background in design or coding wants to get his/her hands on framer. However, there are still a lot of problems with the coding part. Like, my colleague and I were once accidentally trying to add on the coding lines at the same time, and something went wrong, and the whole project blew up and shut down... lol... don't do the coding at the same time... one person at each time...

Great no-code platform with a hugely strong community and a committed developer. Having used Wordpress extensively and got lost in Webflow, this makes life much easier to make quick website builds with modern functionality

Been using it for a little while and very happy with it - strong active community. Giving 4 stars because it'd be nice to have the ability to compile code from Framer for other platforms as Framer components can only be used on Framer platform/sites currently.

Honestly, I think this is the future of web design. I hope framer is widely adopted by all. But your tutorials and “university” could use some work.

Moving from Webflow to Framer, early days just playing around but love the platform and how easy it is to build a responsive site. Would love to see Framer integrate Airtable csv imports and more functionality in the CMS.

Misleading pricing. Max non-custom plan is 100gb of bandwidth, which they advertise as 100.000 visitors/month. So each visitor can spend 1mb of bandwidth. EDIT: Seems to be no reply button so I have to reply this way. It’s misleading in the sense that you initially mention all your plans with only the amount of visitors per month listed. Conveniently leaving out the extremely low bandwidth. From there you can directly purchase without seeing the low bandwidth unless your scroll all the way down. While theoretically you could reach 100k visitors with 100gb, most websites would run out bandwidth far before 100k visitors. It also says it’s targeted at “bigger websites”. This also doesn’t make sense as bigger websites will easily use over 1 mb of bandwidth when browsing multiple pages. The amount of visitors you advertise is very unlikely to be reached for most websites. 1mb per visitor is not realistic for most websites. It would be different if you included the bandwidth in the first part of your pricing, but leaving out the much more likely to be hit limit of 100gb bandwidth while having a purchase button there, is misleading. EDIT 2: My apologies if the pricing was indeed not intentionally set up that way. I commend you for looking into it.

Hey, sorry if this is confusing. On the pro plan, you get 100 GB of bandwidth per month and 100,000 visitors per month. Curious to learn why this is misleading?

Thanks for the feedback. There’s definitely no intention of misleading people into purchasing so we’ll take a look at this. As a side note, we’ll never take down your website without notice when you reach one of these limits. We’re pretty flexible and always work with our (bigger) customers to find a solution that works for everyone.

I have been using Framer prototype and Framer sites for almost two years and worked on personal and client projects through them. My experience is a great one so much for the tool and the developers behind it, that I committed myself to help others as well and continue to do so via the discord community, advocating the benefits to our clients and creating cutting edge and engaging experiences through Medium articles and open source snippets. Framer offers all the tools to let you create without hindering your pace or workflow, it just adds to it.
