Last updated:
Decision area | Diagnostic question to consider | Framer is likely a strong fit if... | Be careful if... |
|---|---|---|---|
Website type | Is this mainly a marketing website, or a product/application? | You need a public B2B marketing site for trust, content, lead capture, and campaigns | You need accounts, dashboards, checkout, or app-like functionality on homepage |
Updates | • Who will make updates to the website after launch? | Marketing, design, or content teams happy with more control over website updates, campaign pages, copy changes, and content publishing | Engineering owns the site, the website rarely changes, or marketing is already comfortable with the current update process |
Maintenance | • Who will manage hosting, performance, security, technical issues, and future handoff? | You want managed hosting, lighter technical upkeep, fewer plugin-related maintenance tasks, and a site that is easier for future team members or partners to understand | You want full control over infrastructure, hosting, server-side logic, or a highly custom technical environment |
Analytics and testing | Do you need standard website analytics and light experimentation? | You need marketing analytics, conversion tracking, and light A/B testing | You need complex product analytics, custom event systems, or logged-in user data |
CMS | What content needs to be managed through the CMS? | You need common B2B content like articles, case studies, resources, campaign pages, and sync flow | You need complex content logic, permissions, or programmatic content |
Integrations | What tools does the website need to connect with? | You need standard GTM tools: forms, CRM, analytics, consent, Zapier, or Make | You need logged-in customer data |
SEO and AI-search | What are your SEO needs? | You need solid B2B SEO foundations and useful buyer-focused content | You need large-scale programmatic SEO or tools-like consumer-facing magnets |
Animation | What are your animation needs? | You need polished but constrained motion and interaction without heavy custom engineering | You need highly custom interactive game-like experiences |
