I'm glad you frequently repeat "If you're not a designer." I am a designer and someone who knows HTML/CSS, and none of these "benefits" of Framer over Webflow appeal to me. "Easier" does not necessarily mean better if it means giving up control or hides/distorts how your page actually works from a code perspective. I'll stick with Webflow but good to know what else is out there. Thanks!
I know this wasn't the intent of this video, but a thank you and a like, because it saved me time to look into Framer myself. So Framer is underpowered like Gutenberg design wise and it suffers from same problems as Webflow when it comes to limited CMS functionality and high costing costs, which lock you/client in. I'll stick to WP Bricks with ACF or JetEngine.
Hello, so I will specialize in building landing pages and 1-3 page websites For customers. What do you think is best and has the highest demand in the market for me as a landing page designer? It will be profitable and less competitive among the two platforms: webflow, framer, or WordPress. Thanks for the wonderful content. Keep it up, brother.
Well done, and i appreciate this video. I designed a website and i'll like to make it active so people can view just like they are coming to my wesite to book me, read about me and also get links directing them to my dm, emaila and the likes. Ive been so versatile with Figma for the past two years, then a friend told me Framer will do the things i will like to do. My main question is, can i use Frame to build a proper website and launch it?
@@meetdavidalex after the final payment, do clients handle the monthly hosting fees for Webflow or Framer directly, or do you set up the subscription for them as part of the project?”
i personally like to design in Figma and build with Webflow together with Relume, i think one of the greatest sellingpoints for Framer is that it is React-Code
Yeah its pretty cool, but lets be honest, React is getting bigger and better every day and Developers should learn React asap. To me working in Webflow is the best thing ever since my development team is top notch in React. To me Webflow offers more than framer does, especially when it comes to animations,but sadly Webflow’s learning curve is not beginner friendly, but it definitely worth✌️

Great video!! I’m a wedding photographer looking to update my website that I made myself. Just a place where people can view my work and who I am and also find me. Along with doing blogs. I’m looking at framer. Would this work ok for me? I’m looking at the beginning plan. Would I need any of the pro things do you think? I really appreciate you.
Let's go! Glad you found the video helpful. Overall, yes, it's perfect. You can create a gorgeous site 'pretty' easily and add cool animations. Let me know if you have any questions along the way!!
@@Luhkanee1337 no you can't, you are renting the site, not own the site. sadly, this is the truth. What ever you build in framer, you can't use out from framer. Framer doesn't have a feature to export a site's code to host on another platform.
Framer is actually more confusing & waste of time if someone wants to grow in this field - get a basic understanding of HTML CSS & get started with Webflow and side by side learn JS.. basic HTML CSS concept is not something hard to learn.. Don't be noob.
Hilarious because as a developer I think Webflow is a waste of time. I would say learn to actually code. & at least with Framer you can write TypeScript custom components. Now I like either one mostly because of performance. A coded site can get you high 90s across board of page speed insights.
@@ffmde8268 webflow is marketed as a no-code website but webflow really shines with at least basic knowledge in HTML, CSS and JS to get really powerful results. Framer is a design tool first with coding happening for you with more “hand holding”. Framer is great if you prefer designing than the developing aspect. Webflow has you use familiar coding language and functions which gives you more development freedom for future scaling while framer summarizes a lot of functions without showing you much actual coding language or functions.

3:35 Not anymore. Framer just announced CMS references 🙂
I know! So thankful!!
@@meetdavidalex This feature saved my life last week. Framer is evolving extremely fast 🙌
with cms references on framer now, is there any true advantage to webflow CMS?
Thank you for sharing your perspective! Love the set up!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind feedback!!!
where do you see the limitations of framer?

If your client can't pay Webflow platform fees then it's better not to work with them. And wordpress is a headache and in the long run it costs more.
@@ipsitsaha no it doesn't, on WebFlow if your site gets successful, you're paying insane fees
@@ipsitsaha also the CMS functionality of Webflow is too weak
@@nickm1049i would not say its weak, it’s more like expensive
i hear Framer is going to upgrade the CMS to include relational DB. Is this true and when?
They did right after I published this !!!
@@meetdavidalex Haha then would you still now consider Framer to be best choice vs Webflow, Wordpress? im deciding

Ofcourse you can, lots of well known websites were made with framer
Hey after you train the client on how to use the website, is the final payment the last one, or do you charge any monthly fees after? Thanks :)
Depends. I usually do final payment before they go live and then charge per project for small fixes

framer is not good. you have lot of restrictions there... you can't able to export the code
If im not mistaken, You can export the code if you get some kind of their subscription, but i might be wrong because i used framer a year ago

@@OneBrighDay wait i thought webflow is a no code platform, for people who cant code but maybe you meant for more complex animations and code export?
