Framer
Visual website builder that combines a design-first canvas with AI-powered site generation, CMS, analytics, and production hosting
Free tier with Framer branding; Mini at $5/month; Basic at $15/month; Pro at $30/month
Overview
Framer is a visual website builder that bridges the gap between design and production. Originally a prototyping tool, it has evolved into a full-featured platform for building and publishing real websites — complete with CMS, analytics, localization, and AI-powered generation. Designers love it because it feels like a design tool; marketers love it because they can publish independently.
