We left Framer (and others will, too) (frigade.com)

Frigade.com has transitioned from using Framer back to a hand-coded site in a remarkable move that highlights the evolving landscape of no-code tools amidst the rise of AI capabilities. The decision stemmed from growing frustration with the limitations of Framer, where reliance on external agencies and the high costs of edits and site merging hindered agility. By rebuilding their site in less than a week using voice commands with Claude, an AI tool, Frigade demonstrated a shift in how teams can leverage LLMs (Large Language Models) to effectively design and edit marketing sites without the traditional engineering bottleneck. This significant transition signals an important shift for the AI/ML community, where the cost and complexity of coding continue to decrease, empowering even smaller teams to manage their own marketing efforts without depending on no-code abstractions. The previous rationale for employing no-code solutions—namely, to alleviate engineering workloads—has changed as LLMs simplify the coding process itself. As organizations reassess their reliance on no-code platforms like Framer and Webflow, the implications of this trend may lead many teams back to coding for marketing sites, potentially reshaping how web design and development are approached in the near future.
