Framer review: when your site actually has to look good

Verdict

[MIKE: one-sentence verdict. Suggested angle pending testing: the best-looking output of every AI builder tested, with a learning curve that's real but worth it for anyone whose site is their storefront.]

What I built and how it went

[MIKE: narrative with screenshots. The interesting tension to explore: Framer's drafts look designed rather than templated, but the editor thinks like a design tool, which either delights you or loses you in ten minutes. Say which happened to you.]

Who should use it

[MIKE: who it fits. Cross-link the comparison piece and the Wix review for the it's-too-much crowd.]

The free tier is the honest way to find out if Framer clicks for you.
