Framer

Website builder that generates and publishes real sites, not mockups.

Framer generates site layouts from a prompt and publishes them as working websites with hosting included. The distinction from design tools is that the output is live rather than a picture of a site.

Framer is a website builder with generative steps, which puts it against Webflow and the no-code tools rather than against AI products. The AI part shortens the blank-page problem; it does not change who the tool is for. If you want design control without writing code and are prepared to work inside one platform's hosting and conventions, it fits. If you expect to export and own the output, check that expectation early.

Our take

A site builder where AI generates a starting layout you then refine, which is the right shape for this problem — the generated page is editable rather than a picture of a page. Best suited to marketing sites and landing pages; it is not a general web development environment and does not pretend to be.
