FAQs

Common
questions.

Why choose Framer over Webflow or WordPress?

Framer is the right choice when motion quality, visual impact, and brand distinctiveness are commercial priorities. It renders directly to clean HTML/CSS with no runtime bloat, producing Core Web Vitals scores of 90+ out of the box — before any optimisation work. Compared to Webflow, Framer has a more modern component model, a more editor-friendly CMS, and a better animation system. Compared to WordPress, it requires zero plugin maintenance and has no security vulnerabilities to patch. For content-heavy sites with complex CMS hierarchies or a need for WooCommerce, WordPress remains a better choice. For most SaaS, startup, and brand-first marketing sites, Framer wins.

How much does a Framer website cost in London?

A Framer landing page starts from £2,000, delivered in 1–2 weeks. A full Framer marketing site with CMS typically costs £4,000–£8,000 and takes 3–5 weeks. A complex Framer build with React code components, custom integrations, or commerce starts from £8,000 and takes 5–8 weeks. WebAnts provides flat written quotes after a free 30-minute discovery call — no hourly estimates, no scope surprises. No prepayment required.

Can Framer sites rank well on Google?

Yes. Framer generates clean, server-rendered HTML with excellent Core Web Vitals scores — which are a confirmed ranking factor. We configure per-page meta titles and descriptions (bound to Framer CMS fields on dynamic pages), canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, JSON-LD structured data, an XML sitemap, and Google Search Console verification as standard on every build. Framer sites we have built rank competitively for target keywords within 60–90 days of launch.

What is the typical timeline for a Framer website?

A single Framer landing page: 1–2 weeks. A full Framer marketing site with CMS: 3–5 weeks. A complex build with custom code components or commerce integration: 5–8 weeks. WebAnts delivers approximately 1.8× faster than the industry average — we run Figma design and early Framer build phases in parallel where possible, and you receive weekly staging updates rather than a single reveal at the end.

Can you convert our Figma design to Framer?

Yes. If you have polished Figma designs, we translate them directly into production-ready Framer — pixel-perfect, fully interactive, CMS-connected, and live on your domain. We add responsive breakpoints, wire in Framer CMS for any dynamic content, configure SEO metadata, and set up GA4 tracking. Figma-to-Framer conversions are typically 30–40% faster than starting from scratch and produce the same quality result.

Can your team manage the Framer site after launch?

Yes. Framer CMS is arguably the most editor-friendly content management system available. Your team can publish blog posts, update case studies, swap hero images, add team members, and manage job listings directly from the Framer dashboard — without touching any design or code. We document the CMS structure, run a handover call before launch, and are available for post-launch support for anything that requires design or development input.

Does Framer support ecommerce?

Framer does not have its own ecommerce engine, but we integrate Stripe Checkout and Lemon Squeezy directly into Framer marketing sites for simple product and subscription sales, SaaS billing, and digital downloads. For a full online store with inventory management, order tracking, and a large product catalogue, Shopify or WooCommerce is the better fit — and we are equally capable of building those. The right choice depends on your product and scale.

How does Framer compare to Webflow for a London business?

Framer and Webflow are both strong platforms for marketing sites, but they suit different priorities. Framer is better when visual quality and motion are the primary differentiators — it generates cleaner HTML, scores higher on Core Web Vitals without optimisation, and has a more modern animation system. Webflow is better for content-heavy sites with complex CMS workflows, multi-level collection linking, or a content model that exceeds what Framer CMS currently supports. For brand-first SaaS companies, startups, and creative agencies in London, Framer is usually the right call.

Can I edit my Framer website myself after launch?

Yes — and this is one of Framer's genuine strengths as a platform. The content editor is cleaner and more intuitive than WordPress, Webflow's editor, or most headless CMS tools. Your team can publish blog posts, update case studies, swap images, change text, and add team members directly from the Framer dashboard. We document the CMS structure and run a handover session before launch. Post-launch, you only need us for design or code changes — not for content.

How do I hire a Framer developer in London?

To hire a Framer developer in London, book a free 30-minute discovery call with WebAnts. We scope your project, recommend the right Framer approach — landing page, full marketing site, or complex code-component build — and send a flat written quote within 24 hours. No prepayment is required. Our Framer designers and developers are London-based and work directly with you throughout the project. No account managers, no offshore handoffs.

Do you offer Framer design as well as Framer development?

Yes — our process covers both Framer website design and Framer website development under one roof. We start with Figma wireframes and high-fidelity screen designs, get your approval on each screen before building anything, then move into Framer. You work with a single team handling the entire project: Figma design, Framer build, Framer CMS, SEO configuration, and launch. No separate design agency, no handoff friction, no briefing the same information twice.

Can WebAnts migrate my WordPress or Webflow site to Framer?

Yes. We handle full redesigns and platform migrations from WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, and Wix to Framer. Before touching anything, we audit your existing site for SEO equity — mapping every URL, checking rankings, and planning 301 redirects — so your organic traffic is preserved through the migration. Content is carried over to Framer CMS, and the new site is typically significantly faster, with better Core Web Vitals scores than the original.

What is Framer Motion and do you use it?

Framer Motion is a production-ready React animation library that powers scroll-triggered reveals, page transitions, hover interactions, stagger effects, and complex keyframe sequences. Framer the web builder has Framer Motion built directly into its interaction engine — so animations you configure in the Framer UI produce clean, performant Framer Motion code underneath. For animations that require logic beyond the standard interface (conditional triggers, scroll-linked physics, complex stagger patterns), we write React code components using Framer Motion directly inside Framer.

Is WebAnts a certified Framer agency?

WebAnts is a Framer web design and development agency in London with a track record of production Framer builds for startups, SaaS companies, and agencies. We work directly in Framer — not via templates or third-party builders — and have built Framer sites that rank competitively in Google search and score 90+ on Core Web Vitals. Rated 4.9★ on Google, 5.0 on Clutch, and 5.0 on Upwork. Named Top Web Designers 2025 by DesignRush.
