Framer listing cover

Option A

Framer

Design-led marketing sites that become public URLs — motion, CMS, no sprint team required.

Free preview; paid for custom domain and team

Best for

  • Marketing sites owned by design
  • Landing pages that must ship without a sprint
  • Light CMS for changelog and blog

Strengths

  • Designers ship
  • Marketing craft without a queue

Trade-offs

  • Not your app
  • Easy to ignore performance

Verdict

Framer ships marketing sites. v0 ships React UI. Lovable and Bolt ship product shells. Webflow is the other designer-CMS religion. Use Framer when the page is the campaign. Measure the published site. Confirm CMS and localization on the plan. If engineers already own the marketing repo and like it, do not start a second brand home. Use Framer when the page is the campaign. Use v0 when the page is React. Measure the published site. Do not start a second brand home if engineering already owns a good marketing repo.

Lovable listing cover

Option B

Lovable

Vibe-code a clickable product shell from plain language — momentum first, SOC2 later.

Free / paid usage

Best for

  • Founders testing a product shell
  • Clickable momentum before a hire
  • Plain-language iteration

Strengths

  • Learns what users click
  • Fast to something real-looking

Trade-offs

  • Auth and data will be rebuilt
  • Not a compliance program

Verdict

Lovable is a product-shell sketch. Bolt is the other browser demo. v0 is React UI. Cursor is the engineering standard. Use Lovable to see if the thing should exist. Then export. Confirm what you are allowed to collect from testers. If you needed a marketing page, Framer is less of a fake app. Use Lovable to see if the click exists. Then export to a repo. Do not collect real passwords in a preview. Framer if you only needed a marketing URL. If architecture review is next week, you are already late to a real repo.
