Details
Framer went from prototyping tool to full website builder. Founded by Koen Bok and Jorn van Dijk (ex-Facebook via Sofa acquisition). The AI site generation is actually good, not just a gimmick. Running profitably at $50M ARR with a $2B valuation.
Webflow is no-code website building for people who care about design. Founded by Vlad Magdalin who failed 3 times and nearly went bankrupt before the 4th try worked. Used by Discord, Dell, Vice. The learning curve is real but the results are professional-grade.
