A founder came to us frustrated. Beautiful website. Wrong platform entirely 😓
They'd spent £6,000 on a Framer site for a product business. Framer is genuinely brilliant for agency sites and personal brands... design control, fast performance, clean output. But it's not built for inventory, checkout flows, or product variants. 8 weeks later we rebuilt everything in Shopify
The thing worth remembering... platform choice should happen before design. Not after the invoice is paid
Framer for visual led brands
Shopify for product businesses
Custom code for when the platform is the actual product
Everything else is paying for the wrong tool twice

A Webflow to Framer migration and website overhaul for pliability, the #1 mobility app in the world. Custom code components, scroll animations, CMS-driven landing pages for campaign launches, and over 400 CMS items migrated from Webflow.
pliability provided the new website design, and @Mason Price and I brought it to life in Framer. Huge shoutout to Mason for collaborating; he has the highest level of mastery when it comes to Framer development.
This is beautiful!
Cookie-gating CMS content in Framer in literally 10 minutes
Had to set this up on a recent project.
Part of the CMS page needed to stay public, while the rest should only open after someone submits the form.
No auth or membership setup. Just a form trigger + cookie gating.
Setup and link below 👇

Form trigger plus cookie gating instead of full auth is such a clean workaround, this usually turns into a whole gated-content build. Did the client ask for it specifically, or did you suggest it once you saw what they actually needed?
