Great for Simple Websites, But Limiting for Advanced Needs Some Key Issues: Lack of CMS Flexibility: Framer's CMS is quite basic. For projects requiring robust content management, it doesn't hold up compared to platforms like Webflow or custom-built solutions. The Notion API implementation is limited—for example, you can’t display inline videos in database pages. Single Password Page Protection: There’s no easy way to set up single password protection for individual pages, which makes creating private areas or restricted content unnecessarily complex. Localization Options: Localization is to expensive, making it a poor choice for multilingual sites. No Zapier Integration: Framer doesn’t natively integrate with Zapier, requiring workarounds like using fetch to connect external automation tools manually. Overpriced for Limitations: The platform’s pricing doesn’t align with its feature set. Competitors like Webflow offer far more flexibility and functionality at a comparable cost, while custom Next.js sites provide even greater scalability for professional projects. Unresponsive Support: Customer support is often slow to respond, which compounds the frustration of trying to work around the platform’s restrictions. Also don't really resolve issues. Conclusion: Maybe great for simple websites. For me it is not suitable for projects requiring advanced CMS functionality or integrations. For these needs, tools like Webflow, Zapier-friendly platforms, or a custom-built Next.js site are far superior and cheaper. Given the limitations and high price point and poor support, I often can’t recommend Framer to my clients as-well.
