Update on the #framerchallenge Been a bit quiet lately got deep into client work and forgot to post updates after Day 1. But here’s what’s been happening

Cash flow update: • $1,250 upfront received (@framer project) • $1,500 upfront received • $1,260 project closed (landing pages) New work locked: • $140/hour ($1260) project (9 hrs/week) • $2.5k website (50% received = $1,250) • $3k project (50% received, in progress) This is what building in public really looks like. Not just posting daily actually closing deals and delivering work. Most people stop when things get busy. That’s where real growth happens. Back to work

We're looking for a talented Framer designer to help bring our business to life. Someone who can own the design direction for a new creative studio website, not just build to a spec. We're an AI-native production studio working in sport and entertainment, coming out of stealth with a flagship project launching soon. Link below:

🔥 Part 2: Most people choose the wrong tool (and realize it too late)

After my previous post (if you missed it, it’s right above 👇): https://contra.com/community/AY33Lcxh-word-press-vs-framer-choose-the-best One thing became obvious: people don’t choose between WordPress and Framer… They choose based on what feels easier right now. Not what they’ll need in 6–12 months.

❗️And that’s where problems start.

Framer feels amazing at the beginning: - fast to launch - clean UI - no complexity

But growth introduces friction: - custom features - integrations - scalability limits

WordPress feels heavier upfront: - setup - structure - decisions

But later? - more control - more flexibility - fewer hard limits

👉 The real mistake isn’t choosing WordPress or Framer. It’s choosing without a time horizon.

So here’s a harder question: 👉 Are you building for: - the next 2 weeks or - the next 2 years?

Because your answer already decides the tool.

I used Wordpress for 10 years and 1 day using Framer made me question them years. I instantly switched. The thought of going back to Wordpress makes me cringe to be honest. With the design capabilities and speed Framer is advancing I think Wordpress could easily end up like...
