The winner of the 2025 Framer Award for Best Framer Designer is @mrblackstudio!



hot take: framer & webflow growth might drop ~60% this year. not because the tools are bad. they’re actually great. but the problem they solved is slowly disappearing. for the last ~10 years the stack looked like this: idea → design → framer/webflow → live website these tools grew because they removed the need for engineers. designers could ship sites themselves. that gap created a huge market. but ai is attacking the gap itself. now the stack is slowly becoming: idea → prompt → live website no builder needed in the middle. and whenever tech stacks compress, the middle layer gets squeezed first. we’ve already seen this happen. a few years ago prototyping tools were booming. then ai started generating interactive experiences instantly. play shut down. others slowed down or pivoted or slowly pivoting same pattern. framer & webflow are still powerful tools. but they’re basically abstractions on top of code. and when code becomes cheap… those abstraction layers stop growing as fast. they won’t disappear. but the crazy growth phase is probably over.
