Framer vs Webflow: 2h Build Challenge

We’re giving our Webflow and Framer Masterclass instructors just two hours to take a design from Figma and turn it into a fully functional web page.

In the Webflow corner we have the Founder of Flux Academy, Ran Segall, and representing Framer, Canadian designer Matt Jumper.

As much as I'm inquisitive and intrigued with Framer's interesting technique of developing websites, Webflow remains the preferable alternative.

I really see Framer growing next years and being a strong competitor to Webflow. It's so easier than Webflow to make animations and effects. 
You feel the website is more polished and well finished in less time spent. 

Webflow may still be better for more complex projects, but I really see Framer getting to that point at some time.

Hi Ran, hi Matt; I've done two Webflow masterclass courses with Ran, and one Framer course with Matt, and it's a real challenge to decide between the two tools. I am more and more inclined to use Webflow because the approach with which it is used, and the way of creating that you have to use, remains fundamentally the one that respects the HTML and CSS criteria, and from a professional point of view I consider it better. At the same time Framer is fascinating because it allows you to create from scratch sometimes without even using Figma. Quite a dilemma. Congratulations to all of you at Flux Academy because you have been and still are a real resource for me. Greetings from Italy.

Webflow for me on this one! You can definitely see the maturity of the platform in how fewer "hacks" were needed to achieve a very high-quality result, even fairly far into the responsive process.

That being said, Framer did exceptionally well and it's a much younger player in this part of the market so huge KUDOS to the folks behind that excellent platform. I personally find Webflow to still be a much better platform overall to manage large sites just because of classes alone, never mind the other stuff.

Another thing to note is that both Ran and Matt are AWESOME at what they do... I would have probably gotten stuck on the inverted corners and made Webflow look like a complete failure! And Matt's handling of the horizontal scroll showed some seriously sharp thinking in my opinion. High fives all around guys!

Love the way no-code is advocated here

Framer is quickly becoming a strong competitor to Webflow. It's easier to create animations and polished websites with Framer, saving time. While Webflow handles complex projects better.

Thanks for the video ! Is it possible to have a link to the Figma file to train and try to reproduce it ? Thanks !

[johanvanwambeke]

For Webflow : Going with a cliping mask would have been the way. They can be responsive depending on hwo you built them.

can i get the font name that used in hero section (that bold large font)

[WhiskeyThieves]

All I have to say about this debate is that Matt has a fantastic mustache and hair

[Waqar_Naqshbandi]

Can someone tell me how the positioned those inverted corners?

[jippalippa]

is framer EASY ENOUGH for a person with no experience?
I'd like to build a very simple portfolio website with a few json animations (I'm an animator myself).

I tried opening webflow but I was totally overwhelmed.

Thanks.

[angelova.nikoleta.design]

Yes, Webflow for the win. Lovely breakdown! 🔥So easy to put things together. Framer is still bugging my brain with the dilemma: is it a design tool or a website builder.

[Jaa_morant]

Do I need to study these programs? Can’t they offer something that Photoshop can’t?

[nasimmahamud]

Who want remix link? we want remix link.

[Kensingtonhawk]
