Likelihood to Recommend
Framer is a great tool for launching quick and beautiful websites. The Figma-like design and Webflow-like production capabilities make it complete tool for this purpose. While it works alright for lightweight CMS content, it's less suited for large, content-heavy websites and blogs that strictly rely on SEO.

Alternatives Considered
We primarily used Figma for design prototyping and Webflow for turning them into live websites. Framer does it all in the same place without sacrificing design freedom and quality. It's our go-to tool unless clients want something else
