Reviewer scorecard
“I build client landing pages in 20 minutes now. The AI generates a beautiful starting point and the visual editor lets me perfect every detail. Clients can't tell it's AI-built.”
“The templates are gorgeous and the editor is intuitive. Perfect for portfolio sites, restaurants, and small businesses.”
“The CMS integration and component system are well-designed. For marketing sites and portfolios, Framer is the fastest path from idea to deployed site.”
“No meaningful API, no code export, locked-in hosting. A walled garden that developers should avoid.”
“Limitations show up when you need custom functionality beyond what's built in. But for 90% of websites — marketing, portfolio, blog — it's better and faster than coding from scratch.”
“For non-technical users who want a professional site, it's genuinely the fastest path to something that looks good.”
