If you’re choosing between Webflow, Framer, Figma Sites, or Wix Studio, this breakdown shows how each one handles the fundamentals that actually matter at scale. I compare the HTML it spits out, how typography and spacing respond, whether you can use variables and inheritance, and how far you can push native CSS... without hacks. You’ll see why we default to Webflow for most client builds, when Framer is the right call, and where Wix Studio and Figma Sites fit.
