Websites in Framer

For a marketing site that lives on motion and has to launch fast. I design and build it in Framer, and your team changes texts and posts on the page itself.

When Framer fits

A marketing site that moves, live in weeks.

04 points

  1. 01

    A launch in weeks

    Design and build happen in one tool, so a marketing site can go live in a few weeks instead of months.

  2. 02

    Motion is part of the brand

    Scroll effects, transitions and interactive sections are built into Framer, not added on top.

  3. 03

    Your team edits day to day

    Marketing changes texts, images and posts right on the page, with no developer in between.

  4. 04

    Several languages on a small budget

    Up to 20 languages on one site, each added as a monthly add-on and translated in the same editor.

When I would pick something else

Framer is quick, and it has limits.

03 points

  1. 01

    Thousands of CMS items

    Framer plans hold one to two and a half thousand CMS items before you pay for more. A large blog, catalogue or programmatic pages fit Webflow better.

    You want to own the code

    Framer has no official code export: the site lives on Framer. If owning the code matters, build in code.

    Logins, logic and integrations

    Member areas, calculators and data from other systems are easier in Webflow with custom code, or in a coded site.

What I do in Framer

New site or redesign

A new company site, or a redesign of the one you have, designed and built by one person in Webflow, Framer or code. Structure, copy, CMS and launch included.

Service

Figma to Framer

Your Figma file built in Framer, page by page, with the motion added and the CMS set up so that your team edits the site itself.

Service

Landing pages and new pages

Landing pages, subpages and CMS templates in Webflow, Framer or code, built from your Figma file or extended from what the site already has.

Service

Motion design

Short films and animated graphics that explain what the company does: for the home page, for a launch, and cut for social and ads.

Service

Technical SEO

Broken links, missing redirects, thin metadata and pages Google skips: found, fixed and checked in Search Console, on a site in Webflow, Framer or code.

Service

Ongoing maintenance

Updates, fixes, new sections and CMS changes on your site, whether it runs on Webflow, Framer or code, live in days. You see an estimate in hours first and pay for the hours used.

Service

Who edits, and whose site it is

Your team changes the site the same day.

  1. 01

    Your team edits on the page

    Texts, images and CMS posts change on the page or in the CMS, and the layout stays as designed. Each editor is a seat on your Framer plan.

  2. 02

    The project moves to you

    I build in my workspace and transfer the project to your account at launch, so the site and the plan are yours.

  3. 03

    The site stays on Framer

    Framer hosts the site and has no official code export. Content exports as CSV; moving elsewhere means a rebuild.

Questions

Framer or Webflow?

Framer for a marketing site built around motion that has to launch fast; Webflow for lots of CMS content, several editors and integrations. I recommend one on the first call.

Is Framer good for SEO?

For a marketing site, yes: titles, descriptions, sitemaps and fast pages are all there. Redirects from an old site need the Pro plan.

Can you build from my Figma file?

Yes. I build it in Framer as drawn, and add the motion.

How long does a Framer site take?

That depends on the number of pages and on how ready the content is. You get a timeline together with the price.

How is the work billed?

A new site gets a fixed price after a short brief. Changes and smaller jobs are USD 40 an hour, with an estimate before I start and no retainer.

What clients say.

From clients I built sites for. A card with a site opens its case study.
