No HTML export. The site runs only on Framer, so leaving means a rebuild.
Every file of the website, and help moving it. It’s custom-coded, so later changes need a developer.
Hiring someone to build it When you’d rather not design it
Pick from Framer’s Experts directory and pay them separately. After the handover, the Framer plan is your bill.
One price covers design, writing, hosting and changes: $95 a month.
What’s different
The differences that matter
Framer is one of the best design tools around. The real question is who’s going to use it.
Framer is a design tool. The design is still your job.
Framer is a joy if you like design. On its canvas you fine-tune layouts, type, spacing, color and effects, and every paid plan comes with a CMS and built-in analytics. Its AI agent can turn a prompt into editable pages, sections, copy and visuals.
If you enjoy making them, Framer is a great pick. If you’d rather hand them to someone, that’s the work my price pays for.
A powerful canvas. You make every decision.
I make the decisions, and you approve them.
A Framer plan and a Framer expert are two different purchases
A Framer plan is software. If you want the site built for you, Framer runs an Experts directory of vetted designers. Their fees aren’t on Framer’s pricing page, so the design work is a separate quote.
So you pay the expert, then the plan, and after the handover, changes are yours again unless you keep paying the expert. That can work out well, especially for a design-led brand. Just price all three before you pick.
The expert’s fee, plus the plan, plus changes after handover.
One monthly price. Design, writing and changes included.
Basic fits a small site. Moving an existing one may need Pro.
One line in the plan table matters for anyone moving an existing site. Custom site redirects are on Pro, not Basic. They’re how old page addresses keep their Google traffic when they change. Staging and branching are Pro features too.
Pro is $45 a month, billed month to month. That’s still less than my plan in cash, and you still do the work.
$15 to $45 a month, depending on plan.
$95 a month, one plan, no tiers.
Framer’s SEO tools are good. Someone still has to use them.
Framer can rank. It auto-generates sitemaps and robots.txt, and gives you indexing controls, custom page addresses, canonical URLs and page titles pulled from your CMS. You can even ask an agent to “scan your page, prioritize SEO fixes” and apply the ones you approve.
The tools don’t know your customers, though. Someone has to write titles and pages that match what people in your town search for, and keep doing it for every new page. On my plan, on-page SEO is done for you at launch and on every page after that.
For most owners, that’s fine. Framer runs the hosting, and you never touch a server. It matters on the day you leave, because there’s nothing to take with you, and the site gets rebuilt. Your domain is safe either way: Framer doesn’t sell domains, so yours stays with your registrar.
With me, the website is yours from day one, every file. One honest trade-off: it’s custom-coded, so once you leave, bigger changes need a web developer.
Runs only on Framer. No HTML export.
Every file is yours, from day one.
Cost

Monthly price, billed month to month, USD
Framer Basic$15
Framer Pro$45
RapidWebLaunch$95
From Framer’s pricing page, September 2026. Before tax. An expert’s fee isn’t included.
If you love designing, the Framer column isn’t a cost. It’s the reason to choose Framer.
Complaints
What Framer customers complain about
Every platform gets complaints, and Framer has plenty of happy users: it scores 4.3 out of 5 on Capterra. On Trustpilot it scores 1.6, and the same four complaints come up again and again. Each one links to where it comes from.
Before you sign up:Check your AI credit usage after your first few requests, and make small text changes by hand, since editing yourself uses no credits.
Before you sign up:For a billing problem, email the billing team listed on Framer’s support page instead of using the product chat, and save every reply.
Before you sign up:Before you pay, find the Cancel Plan option under Plans in your workspace settings, and note your renewal date.
Who it’s for
Who should choose which
Choose Framer if
You enjoy design and want control over every layout, font and animation.
Someone on your team already designs websites and wants a great tool to do it in.
Your budget is tight. Framer Basic is $15 a month.
You like making changes the minute you think of them, without asking anyone.
Choose RapidWebLaunch if
You want a finished website, not a design project on your to-do list.
You’d rather someone else decide what each page says and where the calls to action go.
You want one person responsible for design, writing, SEO basics and changes, for one price.
You want your site’s files to be yours, not tied to one platform.
Neither of us may be the right fit if
You want a showpiece brand site and a designer who keeps refining it in Framer for years. A Framer Expert on a retainer fits that better than either of us.
Design, with the thinking done for you
A beautiful site, planned around what they needed
Easy communication. Beautiful website designed. Patrick gives practical advice about how to design features on the website based on your needs.
The goal: nobody who finds you today hits a dead end tomorrow. Here’s the order I do it in.
1
Find out what’s working
Before touching anything, I look at which pages bring in your visitors and leads. With your Search Console access, I protect those first. Framer’s own analytics keeps only 30 days of history on Basic, so note your top pages early.
Pointing your domain at the new site only changes the website’s records. I copy every DNS record before anything changes, so mail keeps arriving.
4
Copy your content across
There’s no HTML export, so I rebuild the design and move your text, images and blog posts over. Past form entries are wherever your forms sent them: your inbox, a Google Sheet or a webhook.
5
Keep every address
Framer uses clean custom page addresses, so most pages can keep the exact same one. Any that change get a permanent (301) redirect, and your business name, address and phone stay exactly the same.
You review the new site before it goes live. Once forms, email and redirects check out, you cancel the site plan. It keeps running to the end of the billing cycle, so on yearly billing, plan the launch before renewal.
Pricing
Everything in one plan
No build fee, no contract, no upsells. Here’s every feature the monthly price covers.
The Everything Plan
One plan, because you should not have to study a comparison table to buy a website. Every feature below is included from day one.
$95/month
$0 to build. No contract. Cancel anytime.
Your website is yours from day one.
A site built for you, not from a template
Imagine what you could accomplish with more than just a Home, About and Contact page.
Built for speed
Hand-coded and served from data centers around the world, not a page builder dragging its own weight around. Fast on any phone, on any connection.
Custom illustrations
No junky stock photos or cookie cutter icons here.
Copywriting
Great copywriting is the difference between a website that sells and one that doesn't.
On-page SEO
Essentially this means making it as easy as possible for Google and AI to find you.
Custom lead forms
Forms that actually convert visitors into leads.
Easy analytics
Plain, simple, straightforward, valuable analytics anyone can read.
100's of local SEO pages
Local SEO requires hyper-local intent targeting. Almost every service-based business needs this!
Blog
Blogs are awesome if they are used authentically. The age of purely info-based content is over.
Social media integration
We can integrate your social media content directly into your website. Strategically, of course. We don't want visitors getting distracted!
Automated reviews management
Automatically add new reviews from review platforms (Google, Yelp, etc) directly into your website.
Online calendar bookings
Let visitors book meetings, sessions and appointments directly through your site.
Email newsletter integration
Email newsletters help turn your visitors into subscribers.
Automated legal policies
Your Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions are generated by a specialist legal-policy service and update automatically as privacy laws change. Included, with nothing for you to maintain.
CRM integrations
We connect your forms to the CRM you already use: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho and most other software that connects with outside apps. A custom system gets its own scope.
Advanced integrations
Automations that send each new lead to the right person, log it in your spreadsheets and handle the follow-up.
Hosting
Not all hosting is created equal. If you want the Taco Bell of web hosting, Bluehost is waiting for you.
Unlimited Updates
Changes to hours, photos, text and services are included. Routine edits have a 72-hour target; larger requests get an agreed scope and completion date.
1-on-1 VIP support, direct with Patrick
No call centers, no offshoring, just your friendly neighborhood Patrick. Based in North America, native English speaker, and fluent in Spanish if that is easier for you.
If you want a design-led site and plan to stay in Framer, it’s a good option. Framer’s Experts directory lists vetted designers. Budget for their fee, the Framer plan, which becomes your bill after handover, and whoever makes changes after that.
Can Framer’s AI build the site for me?
It can draft a lot. Framer’s AI agent creates editable pages, sections, copy and visuals from a prompt, using monthly credits. You still review it, decide and publish. My plan works the other way around: I do the work, and you approve it.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I leave Framer?
Nobody can promise rankings won’t move at all. What protects them: pages keep their addresses or get a permanent (301) redirect, your business name, address and phone stay identical, and I submit the new sitemap and watch Search Console after launch.
Can I still edit the site myself?
The simple things, yes. You can edit blog posts and FAQs yourself. New pages, layout and design changes, you send to me by text or email, and they’re included.
Isn’t $95 a month a lot more than Framer?
In cash, yes. Framer Basic is $15 a month, and Pro is $45. The difference pays for someone else doing the design, writing, SEO and changes. If you enjoy doing those yourself, Framer is the better deal.
