I choose Framer!

I started with Webflow years ago and have stuck with it. It’s really flexible and I’ve yet to find something I can’t do with it. I haven’t tried Framer in years but I’m intrigued to see how it evolved. It seemed more like a Figma competitor early on. So… it must have pivoted a bunch in the meantime.

Choosing between Framer and Webflow depends on your specific needs: Framer is great for high-fidelity prototyping and interaction design, while Webflow excels in visually building responsive websites without coding. Consider your project's focus and skill set to make the best choice.

@enispresheva3 yeah I know, we're using webflow but I'm a bit old-fashioned :)

@vertikanigam thanks for the heads up, I'll check that :)

I know and tried both of them! Webflow is a lot more advanced, but Framer is faster. If you're a designer looking for fast implementation of your designs, I'd recommend Framer. If you want more fancy and advanced websites, go for Webflow. For example: I build www.paperlikefonts.com with Framer And I built www.cremeri.com with Webflow (it has 3D animations etc.)

@enispresheva3 Good explanation 🙌 Did you try to do custom things? Which one is better for this perspective?

@enispresheva3 tbh as a software developer I don't like Webflow but otherwise, it takes too much time to build a landing page.

Moritz Sauer @moritzsauer

We have built a lot of custom integrations for our Customer Experience on viewflip with Webflow. Custom Script Code Blocks are limited to 10k characters. On one page we needed 18 separate Custom Code Blocks for our Integration. I like Webflow a lot. Used Slider Revolution for 10 years before, as a Wordpress extension. Feel free to get notified on our launch at May 14th via https://producthunt.com/products... Best regards!

@isatanis Webflow is more customizable tho:)

@priyanka27 how was your experience?

Benny @tracker_3

I prefer webflow, there is a lot more functionality in terms of their CMS and integrations.

@tracker_3 yeap, CMS is good

Not familiar with Framer, but if it’s like Webflow, I get why. It’s a lot faster building something with no-code, and then export the code. It takes a lot of pain away

Isa Tanis @isatanis

Commented

@claudiu_cogalniceanu I didn’t export from webflow before. Is it giving a good results?

Claudiu Cogalniceanu @claudiu_cogalniceanu

Sentrya

@isatanis I’m not sure tbh, because you can’t export the code from the free plan. But from what I saw, it’s similar to wordpress where you can add animations, custom javascript, and export everything (but you need to pay for it). I’m currently using TeleportHQ for design and code export. It’s pretty basic, but it’s pretty good for a free service

The more simply we can do something complex the more widely adapted it will become

Paulius @pauliusb

It depends on your needs (for the website) and how you like to design websites - more like Figma, or more like traditional development with block-based design.

Choosing between Framer and Webflow really depends on your specific needs: Framer excels in high-fidelity prototyping and interaction design, while Webflow is unparalleled for its visual web development capabilities and ease of use without needing to code. Consider your project requirements and skill level to make the best choice.

Choosing between Framer and Webflow really depends on your specific needs: if you're focused on high-fidelity prototyping and interaction design, Framer is unbeatable. However, for building responsive websites with a visual editor without much code, Webflow is your go-to.

I’ve built websites using both. And for some reason Framer just feels so much more intuitive to me. I recently used Framer for https://govolt.io and even the fact it lets me write React code overrides makes it feel so much more powerful to me!
