Introduction

This guide explains why Framer is the best website builder for startups.
We will dive into Framer's amazing features, benefits and perks that provide startups with a competitive advantage and you will also get to see some of the best startup websites that were built on Framer.

The recommended Framer plan for Startups is the Pro Plan.

1) Design Freedom with little to no coding required

Framer's powerful no-code features will allow you to build visually compelling websites without necessarily relying on third party plugins or advanced coding skills.

• You can create customized designs that elevate your brand

• Smooth animations that engage with your audience

• Micro interactions that highlight important content on your website

• You can move elements wherever you want on your website (without limitations)

And the best part is that your site will still operate at high performance.

2) Relatively simple to manage your website

Unlike tools like Webflow, Framer's intuitive features and use of simple language makes it easy for you and your team to manage your website.

• Side by Side Responsive Build: One of Framer's best features is that you can build the desktop, tablet and mobile versions of your website side by side. This makes it a lot easier to optimize your site for mobile responsiveness. Updates will automatically reflect on all versions of your site.
  
  

• CMS: Framer has a built in CMS that is sufficient for managing dynamic content on your site. This allows you to efficiently make updates or changes in just a few simple clicks, without breaking your site.
  
  

• Clean Component System: You can turn important elements into reusable components, which can be reused in multiple projects. The components will automatically update when you make changes, ensuring consistency across your projects.

3) Collaborative Workflow Features

• Collaborative Features: Multiple team members can leave comments, review updates and make changes in the same project

• Prototype Link: You can create a prototype link of your website, which clearly shows how your site looks on all devices. This link can be shared with your team for feedback purposes.

4) High Performance and SEO

• High Performance: Framer uses modern, React based code, pre-renders pages & automatically optimizes assets on your website - all of which contributes to fast loading speeds & high performance.

• SEO: Framer achieves great SEO through features such as automatic sitemaps & robots.txt, semantic HTML, built in tools for customizing metadata & server side rendering, which improves crawlability & rankings.

5) You can draft, design and develop your site in Framer

With Framer’s new feature, ‘design pages’, you can now literally do everything inside of Framer - draft, design & develop your website from start to finish.

This replaces the need for tools such as Figma or Canva (depending on the project), as you can now create wireframes in Framer, meaning less back & forth between apps and a smoother design process.

6) Startups enjoy their first year of Framer for free

Framer offers early stage startups a free year on the Pro Plan (Startup Plan). This allows you to enjoy the wonderful benefits of Framer, while you continue to prioritize your startup's growth.
