Framer
Ship beautiful, performant websites with design-driven development
Overview
Framer has evolved from a prototyping tool into one of the most capable website builders for startups that care about design quality. It combines a Figma-like design experience with real publishing power, letting you create sites that look like they cost six figures to build.
The performance story is compelling. Framer sites are server-rendered and optimized out of the box, often scoring higher on Core Web Vitals than hand-coded alternatives. For SEO-conscious startups, that translates directly into better search rankings.
What makes Framer particularly valuable for growing teams is its component system. Build once, reuse everywhere - and when you update a component, every instance updates automatically. This keeps your brand consistent as you scale from five pages to fifty.
