Still using WordPress or Divi and wondering why your site feels slow, outdated, or just… wrong?
Like it’s stuck in 2014.
But you’re paying 2024 prices to maintain it.
You're not imagining it.
Between bloated plugins, clunky page builders, and dashboards that feel like Excel sheets from hell…
WordPress isn’t aging gracefully.
It’s why so many creators are choosing to migrate from WordPress to Framer — for cleaner design, better performance, and peace of mind.
Let’s walk you through how (without losing your SEO, traffic, or hairline).
Why switch from WordPress to Framer?
Here’s a spicy truth:
WordPress was built for blogs in 2003.
Framer was built for modern design in 2025.
That’s not an upgrade.
That’s a different dimension.
With Framer, you get:
Visual-first, drag-and-drop design
Built-in SEO (no plugins required)
Clean UI workflows that don’t make you cry
Responsive design that actually responds
Developer-optional publishing — yes, optional
You’re not just getting a website builder.
You’re getting a better way to build websites.
WordPress/Divi vs Framer — What actually changes?
You ever open your WordPress dashboard and instantly feel overwhelmed?
Same.
Divi’s not much better when you just want to move a section — and end up breaking five others.
Here’s what makes Framer feel like a breath of fresh air:
Framer vs WordPress: Comparison
Feature | Framer | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
Design Flexibility | Freeform canvas with complete creative control | Rigid templates requiring extensive customization |
Figma Integration | Direct 1:1 import of Figma designs | Requires third-party plugins or manual conversion |
Performance | Optimized for speed and core web vitals | Can be slow due to complex animations and plugin overhead |
Security | Built-in without needing extra plugins | Needs third-party security plugins |
SEO Optimization | Built-in SEO tools and optimization | Depends on plugins like Yoast or RankMath |
Plugin Dependency | Minimal — most things are native | Plugin-heavy for even basic functionality |
Developer Requirement | No coding needed | Often requires developer involvement |
WordPress often needs dev help & tries to be everything.
Framer just helps you make exactly what you need — and makes it look good.
