Framer is a site builder that feels like a design tool: a Figma-style canvas that publishes directly to fast, animated websites. It's become the go-to for startup marketing pages and portfolios where visual polish and motion matter more than deep CMS structure.

The verdict
The fastest route from design taste to a live, animated site — genuinely fun to use. Its CMS is lighter than Webflow's and complex content structures will hit its ceiling, so choose it for polish and speed, not editorial depth.
