Framer suits people who think in design. You build, publish and manage the site on one visual canvas. It has a built-in CMS with collections and custom fields, and AI agents that create pages and sections from a prompt. Everything stays editable on the canvas.
The limits show up when you sell or when you leave. Framer has no native store with payments. Selling runs through Framer Commerce and integrations, so plan for that setup and its cost.
Lock-in is the bigger point. Framer does not offer HTML export for self-hosting. You can take CMS content out as CSV or JSON with plugins, but layouts, design and interactions have to be rebuilt elsewhere. There is no standard full-site migration tool.
If you need your site to run on another host, want a store with payments inside the platform, or are tired of rebuilding pages by hand, consider moving. Set up 301 redirects first. Framer supports them in site settings, with bulk import through a plugin, depending on your plan.
