Limitations

Webflow has stronger CMS and e-commerce capabilities

Webflow offers more mature CMS features and e-commerce for content-heavy sites — teams needing complex content structures or online stores often prefer Webflow.

Steeper learning curve than Wix or Squarespace for non-designers

Framer's design-first approach assumes design knowledge — non-designers find simpler website builders more accessible despite Framer's AI assistance.

React output can be complex for teams without front-end developers

Framer's custom code capability is powerful but organizations wanting to heavily customize output need React development skills to work with generated code effectively.
