Taste Test
Question for the Contra community, if I were to start learning one of these two, which one would you pick and why?
My background is in brand design, specially for apparel, lifestyle, outdoor companies. I don't really have any background in web development or programming in general.
Thanks in advance!

Coming from brand design with apparel/lifestyle clients, I'd lean Framer since its design-first canvas feels closer to what you already know from Figma, less of a mental jump into dev logic. Webflow gives more raw control but has a steeper CMS/interactions curve. Are you leaning toward one already?
Thank you!
You know I have built like 2 landing pages on Webflow before, I found their official tutorials really well produced and the dead pan humor on them got me interested, but I didn’t know about Framer back then, and seems like here most people lean to Framer over webflow....
i did not use webflow but framer is the best with disgn
Thank you Adel, I hear both are really good for designers with no programming background!
Exactly. I'd start with Framer, then learn Webflow later if your projects require more advanced interactions. Both are great skills to have. 🚀
I see, does that mean Framer doesn't have advanced interactions?
Framer, given your background. It's built around a visual, design first canvas that feels close to Figma, so the jump is smaller. Webflow gives you more control eventually but the CMS and class based styling has a real learning curve if you've never touched anything code adjacent.
great insight, thank you!
I haven't tried web flow yet buh I think you should go with framer
Thank you
For me it's Framer, learning curve of webflow is long but still worth the try.
Framer Got my vote
learn Framer first, then Webflow
thank you
i'm a strong vote for framer!
Framer because it's easy to learn and similar to Figma you can easily build websites
I go with framer

Meridial — Wealth Management Platform
For Meridial, I designed a system where the one thing that matters — portfolio drift — always surfaces first, no matter how many clients an advisor is tracking.
Signal over noise, even at 200+ portfolios. ⚪
The challenge:
Advisors managing dozens of portfolios need to instantly spot what's drifted from target — without digging through spreadsheets or noisy dashboards that bury the signal in data.
A dark, grain-textured UI gives Meridial a private-banking feel instead of typical fintech blue. The landing page proves the product directly in the hero with live allocation and drift cards, while the dashboard extends the same card system into radar charts, composition breakdowns, and a weekly digest — built so advisors can scan hundreds of portfolios at a glance.
A case in making complex portfolio data resolve into one clear signal.
The dark grain-textured UI gives this a truly exclusive private-banking feel. Did you animate the allocation drift cards and radar charts using Jitter or native Figma prototypes?
need your eyes on this one :)

Went with the right aligned version. Left aligned text is easier to scan first and the CTA doesn't have to compete with the phone mockup for attention like it does in the centered one.
