Ship sites faster, no rebuilding required. With Webflow, designs usually start in Figma or Sketch and then need to be completely rebuilt in Webflow. Framer combines the best of both worlds— a design tool and a web builder — allowing you to either create from scratch or directly import your Figma or Sketch projects. When you're ready, simply hit publish to take your website live.

Collaborate without limits. Unlike Webflow, which restricts design access to one person at a time while others can only make minor edits, Framer enables full, simultaneous collaboration for everyone. Say goodbye to waiting for your turn to design in Webflow. With Framer, your entire team can work together seamlessly, enabling unlimited collaborators to design, edit, and contribute in real-time.

No HTML / CSS skills or knowledge needed. While Webflow is intuitive for those with a web development background, it can be overwhelming for others. Framer empowers users with a familiar canvas that anyone can master in minutes, regardless of their technical expertise in HTML/CSS.

Work from your browser or through the app

Unlike Webflow, which only runs in your browser without a standalone app option, Framer operates like Figma. You have the choice to download the app on Mac and Windows or work directly from your browser—whatever suits your workflow!

Switch

Why switch from Webflow to Framer

Framer is packed with powerful features, making it easy to grow and expand your website to fit your needs.

Scale with unlimited pages

With Webflow, you can’t have more than 100 static pages on a project. While not every site needs more than 100 pages, Framer easily scales beyond it to support advanced use cases when you need it.

Publish

Deploy in seconds. Your site is fast out of the box and automatically SEO optimized to rank in search engines.

Enhanced page load speed

While Webflow exceeds industry standards for page load speed, Framer leverages modern technologies such as React server-side rendering, automatic image compression, and smart asset bundling to deliver the fastest possible site performance.

SEO optimized for dynamic content

Search engines typically can’t index some of your best content like product names or descriptions from your CMS or an API if it’s generated dynamically with JavaScript. Framer uses server side rendering to pre-render your content on the server so Google can index it.

You can easily add custom head snippets or create full-blown React components in code that you or your team can use directly on the canvas. Ideal for advanced integrations or dynamic states like login.

Why we switched from Webflow to @framer to build our new SaaS website at @ZenMaid With Framer, we don’t need any developer. I can design AND build the website on my own, and move 3x faster WITHOUT sacrificing any of my design quality. In contrast, I can make sure the quality is also higher without spending extra time.

One of the biggest advantages @framer has over @webflow that is not talked about often is device flexibility. Because of the it's free form canvas, Framer can be used effectively on virtually any size computer, whereas the experience with Webflow suffers on smaller laptops.

I tried both about a year and a half ago, but Webflow required more coding than I was comfortable with at the time. The interface was also pretty tricky to get the hang of. Framer, on the other hand, felt intuitive right away.

It's so interesting to see the differences between no-code tools @webflow and @framer. Webflow is like Android or Windows meanwhile Framer is macOS or iOS. Webflow has a UI to edit CSS properties, meanwhile Framer actually is creating a new approach to creating web interfaces, and Framers UX is SOOO much better as a result

I’m finally using @framer to redo my portfolio, saying slowly goodbye to @webflow. As UI designer the simplicity of #framer vs #webflow is embarrassing. Animations are too easy to make and things to edit. That’s no code. Webflow is low code.

I built http://maddesign.io on @webflow. It's a great tool, don't get me wrong, but I just don't need so much complex functionality. @framer is so much more intuitive and more easy to use. So I'm switching from Webflow to @framer with no regrets at all.
