Framer feels like a design tool that happens to publish websites. You work on a freeform canvas, add animations and responsive breakpoints visually, and publish with hosting on a global CDN. AI credits help generate pages and content. The free plan lets you build on a Framer domain with 1 GB of bandwidth. Basic, at $10 a month billed yearly, adds your own domain, 30 pages, 2 CMS collections and 50 GB of bandwidth, which suits a personal or small product site. Pro, at $30, raises limits and adds redirects, staging, branching with previews and an A/B testing add-on. The pricing gets complicated as you grow: extra editors cost $20 a month each, and Pro charges for extra pages, CMS items and bandwidth. For designers and startups who want a striking marketing site without a developer, Framer is excellent.
