Framer vs. Webflow: Why We Made the Switch (And Why You Should Care)
Oct 10, 2024
Six months ago, we made a decision that changed everything about how we build websites. We switched from Webflow to Framer as our primary development platform. Here's why—and what it means for your business.
The Problem with Traditional Web Builders
Don't get us wrong—Webflow is a solid platform. But as we worked with more ambitious businesses, we kept hitting the same limitations:
Complex animations required workarounds
Performance wasn't meeting modern standards
Design flexibility was constrained by pre-built structures
Mobile optimization required too many compromises
Why Framer Changed the Game
Framer isn't just another website builder—it's a complete design and development platform built for the modern web. Here's what makes it different:
Superior Performance: Framer sites load 40% faster on average. In a world where 53% of users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load, this isn't just nice to have—it's business critical.
True Design Freedom: No templates, no limitations. We can create exactly what your brand needs, not what the platform allows.
Advanced Interactions: Smooth animations and micro-interactions that make your site feel premium and engaging.
Built for Mobile: Responsive design that actually works perfectly on every device.
The Real-World Impact
One of our clients, a B2B consultancy, saw their website bounce rate drop from 68% to 34% after we rebuilt their site in Framer. The improved user experience led to 2.3x more contact form submissions in the first month alone.
What This Means for Your Business
When you work with Augmenter Design, you're not just getting a website—you're getting cutting-edge technology that gives you a competitive advantage. While your competitors are stuck with cookie-cutter solutions, your Framer website will feel fast, modern, and uniquely yours.
The Investment in Innovation
Yes, Framer development requires more expertise than drag-and-drop builders. That's exactly why it works. The barrier to entry keeps most agencies from offering it, which means less competition and more opportunity for businesses smart enough to invest in it.
