I made the switch from WordPress to Framer and in this video, I’m breaking down why. As a graphic designer who builds brands and websites for real clients, I wanted a platform that felt more intuitive, flexible, and design-forward.
In this video, I share my honest experience switching from WordPress to Framer, including what pushed me to leave WordPress, what Framer does better, and who I think Framer is (and isn’t) a good fit for. If you’re a designer or creative thinking about switching website platforms, this video will help you decide whether Framer is worth it for your workflow.
We’ll cover:
– Why I switched from WordPress to Framer
– Framer vs WordPress for designers
– Pros and cons of Framer
– Design flexibility, performance, and ease of use
– Who should stick with WordPress (and who shouldn’t)

This isn’t a tutorial but more of a real breakdown of the decision and what I’ve learned so far using Framer for design-led websites.
