Era or Framer?

Short answerA brand site built with a designer: Framer. Forms, bookings and orders from the site landing straight in your business: Era.

Framer is loved by designers for fast, animated sites. Era’s site offers less design freedom, but bookings, shop, forms and customer data are built in.
