Framer and Tilda sites: finding design-led businesses

Some platforms say a lot about the people who chose them. A business on Framer or Tilda picked a tool known for design, animation and polish. These owners care about how their site looks, and they're often willing to pay for quality. They also have high standards, so a generic pitch won't get far.

Framer

Framer started as a design and prototyping tool and grew into a website builder. It's popular with startups, product teams and designers, many of whom built their own site and are happy with it. We have 46 Framer sites in our database.

Framer sites usually look good, so the opening is rarely "your site looks dated". Better angles:

  • Content and growth. A beautiful one-page site often has no blog, no case studies and nothing for search engines to find. Offering to build that out is a growth pitch, not a criticism.
  • Speed on real phones. Animations and large media can make pages heavy. 46% of the Framer sites we checked took more than 3 seconds to respond.
  • Ongoing design support. A startup that moves fast needs landing pages and updates every month. A retainer can suit both of you.

Tilda

Tilda is a block-based builder that's popular with designers and small creative businesses, with 49 sites in our data. Check where they're based before you write, since Tilda is used heavily in some markets and less in others. Writing in the business's own language helps a lot.

Tilda sites are often built quickly from blocks. A designer who can make one feel truly custom, with consistent spacing, type and imagery, has a clear offer.

Why include Webflow here?

Webflow sits in the same design-led space and has far more sites in our database. If you work with Framer, you can probably work with Webflow too, and the same pitch carries over. Our guide to finding Webflow sites that need a redesign goes into more detail.
