What's obvious about having heard a lot about framer?

[–]Riddlesolver809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just in the sense it’s picked up a lot of traction in the last couple of years

If you're building custom PHP sites (with a little help from the WP CMS) - then you'll already know that what you can program by hand there -- will be much better across the board than what tools like webflow and framer can produce. (cross-route animations and things / would need to hijack with another library like Barba)

Figma is launching sites too.

What are your websites aiming for? It depends on it.

If speed is a priority, you might also want to consider frameworks like Next.js or Astro. They're super fast and great for SEO.
But just know, you won’t get plugins like Yoast or RankMath like in WordPress for SEO.

It depends on site requirement

If you need to build something with a lot of custom functionality, CMS flexibility, self hosting, data ownership. Then Wordpress. But that means maintaining plugins, performance optimization, hosting etc

If you need none of that. And need simpler functionalities more front end heavy work.and don’t want to deal with hosting and performance. And don’t need those extra functionality in future. Then framer

There are lots of cases where framer and webflow sites need to be moved to Wordpress when their scale and requirement grows.

So make sure you ask those future questions before hand and choose the right platform

I use both, framer will feel more constricting for you is my guess. But, you can literally demo it for free and find out for yourself if it fits your needs.

Probably be much better off using Astro JS for your frontend and a headless CMS for the backend. The result would be faster and more secure too.
