Framer is a professional website design platform that has gained significant popularity among startups and global brands alike. Recently, the company announced an impressive $100 million Series D funding round, led by existing investors Meritech and Atomico. This funding round raises the company’s valuation to a $2 billion, underscoring the growing interest and confidence in Framer’s capabilities.
With hundreds of thousands of active websites and half a million monthly users, Framer has quickly established itself as the go-to platform for businesses aiming to launch their entire online presence with unparalleled speed, performance, and design quality. Among its users are innovative startups such as Scale AI, Perplexity, Miro, and Bilt, all of which utilize Framer to power their websites and enhance their online visibility.
Over the past year, Framer has made significant strides in expanding its reach, particularly among startups and enterprises. This expansion has solidified its role as the modern standard for professional websites. Since launching its business plans late last year, the platform has experienced a significant shift in its customer base, with the majority of new clients now being businesses. This pivot has made business services the company’s fastest-growing revenue segment. It’s noteworthy that around 40% of the most recent Y Combinator batch chose to launch their websites on Framer, indicating that the platform is becoming the default choice for ambitious companies eager to make their mark online.
For over ten years, personal websites have been transformed by visual website builders like Squarespace, which have streamlined the process for individuals. However, professional websites—being complex, high-traffic, and brand-defining—still require processes that rely heavily on developers. Framer is leading a change in this landscape by offering a solution that blends a fully flexible design canvas with enterprise-grade capabilities. This means that users can access a wide range of features, including a built-in content management system (CMS), A/B testing, analytics, and enterprise-level security.
This shift in capabilities represents a substantial market opportunity—worth tens of billions of dollars—where businesses can now construct stunning, fully customizable professional websites more quickly and easily than ever before, and at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional methods.
What sets Framer apart from traditional website builders is its unique combination of flexibility and innovation. The platform not only provides a dynamic design canvas but also incorporates a state-of-the-art CMS that allows for on-page editing. Users can take advantage of a rich array of built-in features, such as animations, forms, detailed analytics, A/B testing, and even live collaboration tools. This comprehensive suite of offerings empowers companies to design, launch, and scale high-performance websites all within a single, integrated platform.
