In their own words
Framer
Framer is a no-code website builder for teams, combining visual design controls with responsive layouts, CMS content, SEO tools, analytics and managed hosting. Its AI agent can create editable pages, sections, copy and visuals within a project. Teams can collaborate in real time, with branching, staging and previews; custom components, integrations and code-based extensions are also supported. The Canvas requires an internet connection and a recent browser on Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS, while desktop apps are available for Windows and macOS. Published sites can be viewed on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS through supported browsers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a Framer domain, 10 CMS collections and 1,000 pages, but a custom domain requires a paid plan. Basic costs $10 a month, billed per month; Pro costs $30 a month, billed per month. Code export is not offered.
