Webflow to Framer - My 1 Year SEO Review (2024)

Webflow VS Framer: Last year we moved our entire SaaS company’s website (www.glorify.com - 50K monthly visitors) from Webflow to Framer-so we thought let’s give the world our 1 year review to help startups that are struggling to decide on a direction.
This video dives into our risk assessment before moving, followed by the ups and downs we faced during the migration as well as the long term benefits we have achieved overall.

Thanks, Farook. That helped me choose one tool like my best to spend a lot of time on it, and that will be Framer! Let's go!

[@BuildwithOmar]

Glad my videos helped!

[@elysiumcore]

Glad to hear - i recently started to build a studio site and really loving the process 😂

[@BuildwithOmar]

Great to hear!

[@may_creative]

Thank you for this video ! I didn't know what tool to learn between Webflow and Framer but I think you convinced me to go with framer !

[@BuildwithOmar]

Glad I could help!

[@porushpuri]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful.

[@Sable_Street_Studio]

Howsit Omar! Once again, great content! Your previous vids were pivotal in me using Framer to build a site for my employer. They were going to pay an agency to build it on Webflow but I suggested we just give Framer a try and they were super pleased with how it turned out!

[@BuildwithOmar]

Thanks buddy! Awesome! Glad it worked out!

[@tinnifreyr361]

Awesome video, I can't wait to follow your journey with Framer!

[@BuildwithOmar]

Thanks Hoang 🙌🏾

[@SaadAlShiekhAli-sg4dl]

ماشالله, keep it up ro

[@andrewjedi]

Awesome video thanks! Have you seen a drop in SEO traffic with Googles new AI implementation at the top of the SERPs?

[@user-jo2kd3dp8m]

Is the $20 per month for each customer site you build or just the fee for agency ?

[@thomas-sinkala]

Hey Farooq, thank you very much. You have no idea how helpful your content is. I have a question; do you use framer pages as landing pages for your marketing campaigns or do you use landing page builders like unbounce and leadpages? I am stuck on what works best.

[@BuildwithOmar]

Glad this is helpful! I’m actually releasing a video on knocking out landing pages with Framer soon! Stay tuned ✌🏽

[@mask4436]

Sir please can you make a video on explaining about the pricing plans of Framer. I'm confused like do i need to pay $8 for every website i make ? Or do I've to pay $8 for a month and can create unlimited number of websites in a month

[@BuildwithOmar]

The pricing plans are per website, each plan gives specific features for 1 particular site or project. The $8 plan allows you to create one mini website without a CMS I believe.

[@mask4436]

@@BuildwithOmar okay okay sir I see then when I will be delivering client I will have to clarify these things to the client that they need to pay these plans monthly to run the website

[@user-jo2kd3dp8m]

Do you bill your clients the annual fee for website hosting upfront, or do you let them deal with payments to framer ? With Wordpress I use hostinfer and charge Clients hosting fees .is it possible so try framer?

[@of_the_stone]

Making more money and fired more people. That's 🤦 No retraining? Why not grow??

[@BuildwithOmar]

Good question! I never said we’re making more money, We let go not because we wanted to save costs, we have an MRR growth issue (lots of free signup, not enough conversion to paid) which is a problem with our application not our website workflow or growth in traffic. Something I’ll most likely do a video on in the near future. If you follow me on Twitter I openly speak about this. What’s important to note is despite the reduction in team size nothing much has changed in terms of our output, so we truly believe that it’s the Framer Workflow and the impact on our efficiency to operate at almost the same pace as we did with a larger team, possibly even better.

[@chumleyk]

"reduced our team size by 50% since last year" You're such an angel. /s

[@BuildwithOmar]

If it means keeping our most long term vested staff and removing contractors for our website before running out of cash and shutting down. Absolutely, our team is calling me angelic. 😇
