Framer
Website builder for designers with AI page generation, a CMS and hosting.
- Free plan or free tier
- Builds or edits apps from a prompt
An app needs a public face: a landing page that explains it, pricing and sign-up links, help articles and a blog. Website builders now include AI that drafts a whole site from a short brief, picks a layout and writes first-pass copy, which gets a founder from nothing to a live page in an afternoon.
The draft is a starting point. Rewrite the copy in your own words, replace stock images, and make sure the page answers the questions customers actually ask. Builders differ in how much design control they give, how their content management works for a blog or docs, and how forms connect to your other tools.
Keep the marketing site and the app separate in your head, even when one tool can do both. A site builder is good at fast pages and content, while your app needs data and accounts. Link them with a clear sign-in or sign-up button, use your own domain on both, and check that the site loads quickly on a phone.
Look at hosting, custom domains, search settings and forms when you compare options, since these affect every page. Check how easy it is to hand editing to someone on your team who does not design.

Plan a few pages before you open the builder: a home page that says what the app does and who it is for, a pricing or sign-up page, a short help or FAQ page and a contact route. Each page should have one main action. That outline keeps the AI draft from filling the site with sections nobody reads.
Measure the basics after launch. Check which pages people land on and where they leave, and improve the page that sends the most visitors to sign up.
Many founders run the marketing site on a website builder and the product on a separate app builder or backend, joined by a sign-up button and a shared domain. That split lets marketing change pages without touching the app, and lets the app change without breaking the site. Choose a website builder your team will actually update, since a site that never changes stops matching the product.
Keep the brand consistent between the site and the app: the same name, logo, colors and tone. Visitors who click Sign up should feel they are still in the same place, which reduces the number who drop off on the way in.
Both can handle forms, members and simple data, which covers some small apps. For anything with complex logic or user data, most founders pair the site with a dedicated app builder and link to it.
Use it as a draft. Readers notice generic copy, and it rarely says what makes your product different. Rewrite the headline and key sections yourself and check every claim.
Framer and Webflow give designers detailed control over layout and animation. Wix and Squarespace are quicker for people who want a good result from a template.
All of them let you set page titles, descriptions and custom domains. Check that each page has a clear title and that the site loads quickly, since both affect how it shows up in search.
