Two very different philosophies

WordPress is a flexible system you assemble from themes and plugins. Framer is a design tool that publishes fast, secure sites out of the box. For a small business, the real question is not which is more powerful, but which one you will actually keep up to date.

Speed and maintenance

Framer sites are hosted, optimised and secured for you. There are no plugins to update and no hosting to manage. WordPress can be just as fast, but it takes more care to keep it that way.

Our recommendation

If you want a site that looks premium, loads fast and that you can edit without breaking anything, Framer is usually the better fit. If you need complex features like a large shop or membership area, WordPress still has the edge.
