Whats The Best Platform?

Why Plett Pixels Chooses Framer and Webflow Over WordPress

We've seen websites built in all sorts of ways, some slick, some quick, and some that make us want to gently weep into the night. But after considerable caffeine intake and experience, we've confidently settled on Framer and Webflow as our preferred platforms for web design. Here's why.

WordPress: The Reliable Old Friend

Now, we can't knock WordPress completely - it's a classic for a reason. It's been around since dinosaurs roamed Robberg (almost), and it's flexible, widely supported, and has a plugin for just about everything. Need your site to display kitten photos on every third Thursday? WordPress probably has a plugin.

But there's a catch. WordPress can quickly become bloated, slow, and maintenance-heavy. Plus, those same plugins might stop playing nicely after an update, leaving you with a digital mess worse than a post-season river-side braai.

Why We Prefer Framer and Webflow

Sleek and Speedy Websites

Both Framer and Webflow produce websites that load faster than your neighbour’s Labrador spotting a tennis ball. Speed matters, not just because Google loves a fast website, but because your visitors do too.

Design Flexibility Without the Headaches

Framer and Webflow let us design websites without wrestling with code. Imagine building a beautiful sandcastle on the beach without worrying about the tide washing it away, that's the peace of mind these platforms offer.

Maintenance-Free Bliss

Unlike WordPress, Framer and Webflow are like a stress-free holiday. No plugins to constantly update, no compatibility dramas, just a smooth-running website letting you focus on your business.

Secure by Design

WordPress websites are a favourite target for hackers, partly due to their popularity and partly due to plugin vulnerabilities. With Framer and Webflow, your website is inherently more secure, giving you more time to enjoy sundowners and less time worrying about digital security.

Why Not Just Stick to WordPress?

WordPress isn’t a bad option; it's just that Framer and Webflow make life easier—and we at Plett Pixels like easy, enjoyable lives (and fewer emails about broken plugins at 2 am).
