Is Framer better than Elementor? (Framer Vs Wordpress)

[@muhammadbacar6051]

Guys ! especially UX/UI Designers who uses Figma, Framer seems to be the future for us, especially with the arrival of plugins we can basically create very much any type of websites : Membership sites, e-commerce, landing pages, marketing websites and many more highly custom websites. I believe Framer will overtake webflow in a near future.

I will try Framer for my next project. I really want to learn it (and love it), but I just have to take the first step. My main goal is to crank out top notch sites faster.

Last I checked, the Framer CMS is really bad that's why I didn't even try it. But with this update? Definitely worth considering. Oh, although one other thing to actually get me to 'jump ship' is if they offer a 'web agency' feature where we have easy access to the websites we're managing. From the looks of it, our clients have to create their own account and add us as an 'editor'

[@tristanparker]

Yes I agree

[@muhammadbacar6051]

If they add this with also having their own e-commerce and membership functionality and they keep upgrading the CMS, then Framer will the go to tool for every webdesigners especially UX/UI Designers that work on Figma.

hank you for the excellent content. I want your advice I am 38 years old and I have been working as a freelancer for 7 years. I have the skill of designing high-converting landing pages and designing short video ads. I want to specialize in one skill that is highly profitable and in demand In your experience, which of these skills do you think will be the most valuable moving forward? I want to avoid distraction and choose the right focus for the future. Design and build landing pages Building sales funnels Advertising design (video ads and static ads) My goal is to find something manageable, not too stressful, and that I can do with just a laptop. I appreciate your advice and sorry for the long message

[@tristanparker]

My own opinion would be that being able to build successful funnels will give you the chance to charge more

[@mofunnel]

@@tristanparker Thank you. What is the building platform that you currently prefer and is it available? Is it possible to work on WordPress and Framer in building paths and landing pages? Which of them do you consider a priority? Once again, thank you.

Thanks for your video!

Thank you for watching 👌

What I believe Webflow and Framer have in common is their community. They are more likely to invest the time to learn good web design development practices. They are also a bit more creative as there is less templates than WP. In Elementor a lot of stuff in the panel is not called the proper dev way and this is a problem as it doesn't encourage good practices learning. I stil believe that if you master a pro builder like Bricks on WP you can achieve any world class design + you have a robust CMS (with ACF of course) that is open source. I will stay on WP but won't hesitate to try Framer and Webflow and even use them on client projects.

[@tristanparker]

Yep currently agree with this too.

Is Framer better than Wordpress, no. Not even after it’s fancy CMS upgrades but I’d much rather deal with that than ever work in the context switching trash can that is Wordpress but WP CMS is more powerful. Is Framer better than Elementor… surely. Neither cares about semantic html or clean code so might as well have more fun while doing it.

i do if you are know there is a plugin for figma to framer all have just paste you design in i just start to look a framer

[@tristanparker]

I believe you can upload Figma to framer though, right?

[@sebbieweb7461]

@@sebbieweb7461 do you know of any training videos of the process that you recommend?

Hey, you accidentally wrote the wrong video title. The correct one was 'Reacting to Framer Launch Video as a Framer Oblivious WordPress Web Designer'. With this title, I'd know beforehand that I don't need to watch it. Because I wanted your take in 5 mins instead of a reaction in 30 mins.

[@tristanparker]

😂 Awesome. I look forward to watching your own 5 minute take as a NON “framer oblivious Wordpress web designer” 👍👍

[@jacobwonder6735]

First video I’ve watched on framer! Holy fudge their pricing structure SUCKS. Wordpress is still king. Charges for # of pages Charged for 404 page Charges per sit views Charges for CMS Charges for analytics All at a premium. With elementor and Cloudways, I can host the exact same website 40+ times with $50/month Or 1 website on framer. With limits on everything. Disgusting.

[@tristanparker]

Dude, how naive of me, I haven’t even checked their pricing out yet.

framer is the future of web design and development, as a figma expert, i can tell that the speed of design and development mixed with the stunning ability to design super modern and custom designs, this tool will pass webflow smoothly in one year , and much more money is moving to framer

[@tristanparker]

Super interesting, thank you

[@nasmith67]

Nah. There are still developers out there that won’t touch it and that can move as quickly in Webflow with a properly built site as you can in Framer with a proper aesthetic site

[@SaadAlShiekhAli-sg4dl]

@@nasmith67 webflow is a beast that's right, but the ease and speed will allow even a framer beginner to design stunning websites

[@poppingjaz]

not the future, just another option. The same could be said about Wix Studio which is less design rich but more powerful in terms of functionality especially being able to access backend code, database, API, Headless solutions etc

[@muhammadbacar6051]

I agree Framer is moving real fast. A lot of Designers are going to Framer and this tool has barely existed for 3 years while webflow has been here for over a decade if i am not mistaken. Framer will catch up easily.
