I made my portfolio website in Framer AND Webflow - which is better? 

We got there in the end, the main thing was actually setting all the 100% widths correctly etc

Appriciate the comment. There will certainly be an element of bias, beacuse overall I use webflow on some pretty complex projects which I couldn’t use framer for. That being said and as I tried to say at the end in the summary - for the portfolio/personal site, framer is as good of a choice, unless you want some more advanced features or you’re already experienced in webflow. I’ve recommended framer quite a lot.

@@sketchymedia when you say advanced, what kind of features are you referring to?

It’s a good point, I didn’t dive into pricing but 100% webflow is much more expensive

Agreed, that’s a big advantage for lots of people

Thanks Micah!

Thanks andres, appreciate the comment

I have minimal experience with bubble to be honest so im not sure. gut tells me no, as relume is a Figma library and the plugins ive been exposed to are specific Figma plugins to the destination web builders. so I'd recommend looking for a "Figma to bubble" type plugin

Use Framer, it's easy and quick to build and maintain later. Webflow as Matt said has a steep learning curve and best suited for more dynamic websites.

I found myself doing that in webflow for a lot of projects. Anything that’s not complex I’d probably do the exact same thing in framer

No, you don't. You can start building the site in Framer right away.

You got the wrong person there my friend. I did not

Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comment!

Everything in webflow to be honest, but that’s mainly todo with how familiar I am with it. For simple projects framer is a great option as I outlined. Once you build the skills in webflow there’s little use in using a different tool unless pricing etc comes into play. I end up doing quite a bit of complex stuff in webflow which is why I would choose it

Is it faster to prototype in figma and hand code the site yourself? If you are a really good coder?

Exactly, that makes sense, although I’m sure framer will offer this. I have done similar with webflow projects but their CMS and advanced functionality is a delight despite the pricing being very annoying and a big challenge to deal with

Just watched a video on this, WIX have definitely upped their game. I don’t know if I have the energy to try yet another web builder 😓

I think it depends on what you're trying to achieve. A custom portfolio like he did, framer is better. An ecommerce site which will be heavily theme influenced would be wix. Those are just examples

@@sketchymediadavid goggins 🫵🏻 u sound like a beta just donit get the views and subs i was going to sub til i seen thsi beta comment from you do better next time 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻

Interesting take, you must know something I don’t. Yea I have a link, and I’ll get a commission if people sign up via my link. They’ve had no influence in what my video says, and I am genuinely very impressed with framer. I don’t believe I slander framer at all. I’ve used webflow for a long time now and long story short it’s far more capable and advanced for the type of projects I get involved in. My video aimed to simply show that. And as I said, i do recommend framer in certain situations for some people. I won’t be using it for My personal websites or projects that require more sophisticated functionality, but I am already recommending people to use framer for other projects, especially if they have no webflow experience.

EXACTLY. This guy is glazing webflow because he's getting paid and trashing Framer because he wants people to click that link in the description real bad.

@@dyveshisrael7133 lol

Just use both, like he does, and stop being crybaby fanboys for one - like you two.

You must be paid by framer to leave comments like these…

🤔

@@sketchymedia great job tho. 👍🏾

Thanks! And unfortunately yes. A necessary evil currently. Had tried some outsourced help on one of the others though

Thanks Rachael. Appriciate the comment. My go to is a 12 col grid, set to stretch usually with a margin of 56 and gutter of 20 on a 1440px wide frame which is usually the width of the container if I’m building the site

@@sketchymedia Thanks!

Thankyou, appreciate this

Thanks!

For design purposes, Figma as part of the process is essential. As much as it pains me to say as I don’t love Figma

Thanks Jon, long story short it was allow for a specific cable for my mechanical keyboard, and to hide hard drives.

I’ll get paid if you click the link and sign up! I’m gonna get a framer affiliate link too to balance it out. I’m glazing webflow like a Krispy Kreme because it’s sick. It’s the best. Second to none. Also, framer is great too as stated in the video. 🫠

Im not paid, and ive been a framer fanboy since coffee script on framer classic. I preached the framer gospel at every org since then, but not this year. I have realized that it cant compete with webflow yet. Its nice since im a designer its easy to build and move fast in framer, but id argue its just as easy in webflow if not easier because of thins like relume. Also the webflow performance is far greater than framer. Dont get me wrong i still use framer but Ive been pushing my company to move to webflow instead of move to framer for MANY reasons at scale as well. Framer is great for a solo designer or small team banging out websites and dont wanna pay devs etc, to keep a lean team and have a designer workflow from beginning to end, thats the best utility from framer. and its only most appealing to designers. go figure its 90% of designers and design twitter still over hyping framer.
