The first biggest problem of Webflow (in my opinion) is that they think that the future of creating websites is HTML and CSS, but…. it is not true, the nearest future is animation / effects / 3d / AI. And with all this HTML / CSS / CMS old fashioned paradigms, creating effects becoming much much more harder. I worked as front-end dev, I worked with After Effects, I know how it works, but I see that it is useless now, because the website it is not boxes and keyframes. Modern websites are like ecosystem playground. One part of the web could be created in one Spline, other in Figma, other in Adobe, another section created by AI etc and easy connection and work is a key feature now

The second problem of Webflow -> very limited free version, I cant even try the work process of coding (in Framer it is free), I can't reuse good-designed templates (in Framer -> hundreds of free amazing templates)

Would be much better if you were already experienced in both tools instead of learning as you go.

I just wanted to say….I reallllllyyyyy love your lighting! Chef's kiss!…it's perfecto!

Layers do not, in fact, work like they do in other design software.

Hello everyone, I'm researching opinions on switching from WordPress (Elementor Pro + Crocoblock) to Framer. What are your thoughts on this switch?

This is super helpful. I was wondering which one would have more overhead down the road as you evolve the site. Webflow may take a bit more time getting up and running, but it sounds like it could save you way more time later because it’s all reusable.

I gotta say if you know what you're doing with Java both he standard editor and editor x are capable of a lot of complex functionality. Add to that the free form ability to create databases, create relations (relative) and so on, I'd say the Wix platforms are far more robust than framer in those areas. I like using classes and flex box and grids so those are things I'm always looking for as well. Wix has been working on tis, Elementor has done a great job in this area.

Framer looks like a fast mock up you can use with canava to grind out something super quick before taking it to production with another IDE.

Thanks for the review between these two, I've never used wf so seeing that was plus for me.

tnk u. if i want simple landing page from one-two product with simple ux i choose Framer. or i need hard design project, some like ecomerce with 100 categories and so many interactions and other design thinks. i choose figma =) i think webflow is more professional tool for designers=developers who have more experience than me =)

Framer better at least, because it was done on react. Yeah for now it don't have a lot features like webflow. And framer have big future.

It looks like Framer is much much muuuuch cheaper than Webflow.

I think the main advantage of Webflow at the moment is their fucking awesome community. I'm new to webflow, maybe it's been 2 months, and have spent countless hours building my 2 websites which look awesome. According to me, if the community wasn't there, and the integrations such as the Finsweet suite, Refokus, and memberstack to a certain extend, along with countless YouTube tutorials, and the made in webflow section on the webflow website, I would've definitely quit long time back. It's so amazing to clone components, while learning how to replicate them by yourself!

Moreover, I'm a student, so I've availed the free 1 year student discount code for 1 cms plan annual subscription which is fucking amazing

you can do vh in framer now must have been added

Framer like a Figma -_-

Framer is easier. But I guess Webflow has more cool things currently. But you can do almost everything in both.

Try framer and then learn webflow.

For the photo cards max width, can't you just create a main component/class and duplicate?

In Framer you have the power of React. You can pull in code components in visually, and import design components into code.

Webflow is umpteen years older, so you can't really compare the granularity of features, but Framer has a better user experience by far.

The point about classes or styles is true, and problematic for reusing styles on multiple components or elements.

Thanks for sharing your opinions. Weblow is indeed doing great job with CMS.

I say webflow UI looks so complex, it looks like these old softwares from 90s i hate it. Framers UI looks like figma simple and clean i love it.
