Excellent. From Customer Service to resources, price, integrations, flexibility. I wish I found it earlier.

Pros

Easy learning curve for Designers used to ttols like Webflow or Figma. Expectional accuracy and responsiveness of the design. Framr gives designers control over development and deployment.

Cons

Not sure. Complex components need careful planning but there are plenty of guidance and tutorials.

Alternatives Considered

Webflow

Reasons for Choosing Framer

I couldn't create a responsive navigation with complex megamenu, limited or too time consuming customization, code necessary to implement more advanced UI, poor performance.

Reasons for Switching to Framer

Easier and quicker to use from a designer perspective. Framer builder is free, subscription plans are affordable for freelancers/individuals.

Incredibly frustrating to use. Sections get deleted and it's very hard to get them back

Reviewed on 2023/07/04

Pros

It's cheap. That's it really, nothing else

Cons

So frustrating to find things, not user friendly at all. If you want to do a 3 sections landing page sure, it might be ease, but when a mistake is made and something gets deleted it's so hard to get it back. I have to do everything from scratch. I purchased a template to speed up my website development and my god, I've doing this website for so long cause it takes me ages to find the things that I need. Awful, I wish I never purchased this. This is a nightmare and customer support takes hours to get back to you.

Really tailored for designers, it´s like a combination of Figma and Webflow

Cons

Still some things that are pretty standard and you would think are straightforward are missing. Like building a carrousel with CMS elements.

Amazing. Better than all the others. Probably has everything you need, but if it doesn’t there is plenty of plugins / themes out there. So easy to use for designers or developers.

Pros

The best website / page builder I’ve genuinely ever used. It’s very similar to Figma, but you get a working website and the end. My flow has now changed, I just go straight to Framer.

Cons

Collaborators are expensive. Could do with more CMS options on some pricing plans.

At first, my experience with Framer was very negative because it was hard to learn but after a week or so I was having a lot of fun making cool prototypes and interactions.

Pros

It's insanely great for making high-quality prototypes. When it comes to interactions it is a lot better than Figma. The magic motion was one of my favorites. The interactions are so good that they make a simple concept look very real and of high quality. Also using prototypes is really exciting, I was able to impress my colleagues by letting them interact with my app concept with the Framer app. Some people even thought my app was real and we're excited to use it!

Cons

Framer has a pretty big learning curve. It is very hard to learn it at first but once you learn and understand how it works you can make magic with it :)

Cheaper, easier to use, and simpler to learn. Increase the launch speed. has features like incorporating quick, ready-made animations and interactions and assets

Pros

Incredible concept. It appears to be in the early stages of development, though. I love how quickly the AI created a design and how easily can integrate with major AI tools

Cons

Not exactly good value for money, especially given the platform's development stage and the fact that some features are still missing.

Pros

The feature where the app allows us to publish our designed website live without even coding it.This was the best feature for me since it saves so much time which gets invested in coding.The plus point is you can also get the developer's code of your designs instantly if you want to.

Cons

When we publish our websites live, the website has domain framer.ai. To change this, we need to upgrade our account.

Pros

The best feature of Framer by far is importing from Figma, and the ease of the experience in the process, Framer has some great features, and it helped me become a better designer/developer.

Cons

I think Framer is a fantastic tool, the only thing that caught me off guard is the limited features for free users, other than that Framer is the best no-code web development tool I've used so far.

Pros

Its user interface is super friendly and easy to use. I created a really cool website that showcases my portfolio in a really cool manner. Even if I did not have any sort of coding knowledge, I was able to create an above average SEO friendly website which is really fascinating.

Cons

As compared to other platforms there exists limited customization in Framer and also limited features. The learning curve can be slightly steep as one may need to learn for a few minutes about web designing before using it. The pricing was slightly on the higher side for me.

I tried to use Framer as a way to collaborate more with my devs and make their work easier. I found the exact opposite. Although what framer does is amazing and gives your design actual pulse and life, it also is not practical in the flow of Product Teams IMO. The investment it takes to learn coffeeScript in order to use Framer is really heavy. For me, it also took away a lot of the creative process. It had me thinking more of what we were constrained to, instead of what was possible. There should be a good mix of both with any product, but I felt Framer took away all creative thinking and made me feel like I needed to find what could fit in the frame. Also felt like it distanced me from my Dev team. The expectations that I could produce great, fully-functioning components were increasing and got some resentment that since I could technically produce front-end elements, that they didn't need to focus on Front-End Dev anymore. Overall, fun and explorative tool in the industry but again, just not a practical tool to use in today's product world.

Pros

Gives you the ability to produce elements and products exactly the way you design them. Allows you to open yourself up to learning Dev/Code. Creates empathy and understanding of what Dev Team goes through when implementing your designs

Cons

Not really that practical. If you think about the time you invest in learning a separate code language from what your Devs know, it requires a lot of initial investment on the designer to learn this language. Creates a weird relationship between you and your Dev Team because at times they expect much more out of your coding skills, and also creates this notion that you can do half of their job. Takes a lot away in the collaborative process that is crucial between Devs and Design to be able to come up with great solutions. Components created are often of no use due to constraints Devs have on coding guidelines in a company and often end up in wasted time.

Reviewed on 2019/05/28

Pros

Framer is an amazing product as a design tool alone, but the features in animating, coding and the new App Store makes the product something else. It will teach you how to code and make amazing concepts that can be copied to production really easy!

Cons

No cons at all, the only con is maybe that there should be even more tutorials on how to code.

Learning Framer was one of the best decisions I made. It just made my workflow easier and efficient. Certainly Framer adds a great value to anyone's resume.

Pros

The most fascinating part about Framer is that you can make the prototype close to real product. This is great for scenarios where sophistication in prototype is highly necessary. I love the level of control it gives to designer.

Cons

The interface and workflow are still a bit intimidating for users which keeps many designers away from this power tool.

With Framer I have built high fidelity prototypes, saved them on my phone, and tested those prototypes with users. Because the prototypes can be incredibly realistic, testers often think it's a real app thus producing more realistic feedback and results.

Pros

Framer allows me to build advance, high fidelity prototypes, at a rapid pace. Unlike other prototyping tools, Framer lets you use code for advance interactions in order to create realistic animations and interactions. Not only does Framer has a code editor, but it also functions as a complete design tool so you can both design and prototype all inside the same tool.

Cons

While Framer is very powerful, it also has a steep learning curve. You'll need to understand coding basics, and put in a lot of effort at first. Fortunately, there is a great community around Framer that is willing to help. Just simply go to their Facebook page, ask a question, and you can usually get help from the community pretty quickly.

I loved the amount of control you have over the prototyping capabilities such as the motion design in the transitions. I also loved the auto-code functionality.

I like what I’ve seen from Framer and it seems like they are making constant updates, improvements, and new features that set it apart from other design software.

Cons
