FAQ / Platform & development
Why Framer over other platforms?
Framer is a strong fit when a marketing team wants a distinctive, responsive website it can update quickly without sending every change to engineering. It supports CMS-driven publishing and can be extended with custom components and integrations. The right choice still depends on your content model, workflows and technical requirements; use our stack comparison to explore the trade-offs.

Related questions
Do you only work in Framer?
Framer is our primary platform for marketing websites. We also design product experiences, create custom components and connect websites to other tools. If your project needs a different architecture, we can help define what belongs in Framer and what requires a separate application. Framer supports React code components, overrides and data fetching (see the Framer developer documentation). Explore website build and product design.
Can you migrate our existing website to Framer?
Yes. We can plan the information architecture, rebuild templates and CMS content, preserve useful URLs where possible, map redirects, connect integrations and test the site before launch, following Google’s guidance on site moves with URL changes. The migration scope depends on the current platform and content volume. See website migration and request a project.
Can you also build custom-code websites?
We build custom code components, interactions and integrations where a marketing site needs them, using Framer’s React-based code components (see the Framer developer documentation). For a fully bespoke application or code-first website, the right architecture depends on the product and maintenance requirements; we can assess that in discovery. See website build and product design.
Should I choose Framer over Webflow or another website builder?
Choose based on who will maintain the site, the complexity of your CMS and integrations, the design you need and your total cost. Framer often suits design-led marketing teams that want a visual editor and a built-in CMS; other platforms can be better for particular workflows. Compare the options with our stack comparison.
Why choose Framer over an AI-built website?
An AI builder can be useful for a quick first version. Framer is often a stronger foundation when your team needs a deliberate brand system, reusable pages, editorial control and room for custom interactions. Compare AI builders, Framer, Webflow and custom code in the stack comparison.
