Why I'm Still Choosing Framer in 2026 (Even With Vibe Coding Taking Over)
Everyone's talking about vibe coding. I use it too. But for client websites? I'm all in on Framer.
Framer isn't "just no-code." I use Claude Code to build custom TypeScript components and drop them straight into my projects. Full design flexibility with real code when I need it.
Marketing teams can update copy, swap images, and manage blog posts themselves. No commits. No merge conflicts. No broken builds.
And for polish? Vibe coding output is good, sometimes really good. But clients pay premium rates for the details. The micro-interactions. The pixel-perfect spacing. I can still deliver that faster in Framer.
My workflow: vibe coding for prototyping, custom components, and complex logic. Framer for final production sites.
It's not either/or. It's both.
Framer King: @Mason Price 🤴
This makes a lot of sense. Using vibe coding for speed and Framer for polish feels like the right balance, especially when details and client experience really matter.
wonderful!
Framer still shines when it comes to production-ready sites
Fantastic!

Just dropped my new personal site. And for the first time, not in Framer...
Built with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and a bunch of other tools I've been wanting to experiment with.
I had so much fun experimenting, iterating, falling down rabbit holes and fixing weird bugs. Learned a ton along the way & built a process I'll definitely be re-using and improving.
The site has my latest projects, client testimonials, some writing, and a little about me page that was probably the most fun to put together. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Good Design

My framer portfolio template is finally live on the framer marketplace!
After 2 months of work, 3 rejections and Countless changes!
Check it out and give it a try https://www.framer.com/marketplace/templates/mystic-flow/
Huge congratulations! Getting a template live on the Framer marketplace after multiple revisions is a big achievement. The layout and typography look really clean as well. Wishing you great success with the template! 🚀
Just launched our first @framer component 🎉
We've been experimenting with liquid-style WebGL interactions, cursor ripples, refraction and click waves, and turned it into a reusable component. You can check it out live here: https://www.framer.com/marketplace/components/pro-liquid-shader/
