Comparison
Website platforms, compared for teams choosing a stack
Short answer: start with the comparison that matches the question you are already asking. Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Astro and Next.js can all ship a marketing site. The honest difference is who will edit it after launch, how much structure you need, and whether you are prepared to live in a repo. This page lists the compares. It does not pitch a single platform, and it leaves the existing buyer-route page at /compare where it is.
The compares, side by side
Use it when
Start here
You are choosing between a visual marketing CMS and a large editorial stack.
You want a simpler template site, or you have already outgrown one.
Wix vs WordPress
Wix is on the shortlist and you need a straight comparison, not a Framer post.
Astro vs Webflow
The Webflow site is hitting a performance or CMS ceiling, and a code front end is in play.
Framer vs Webflow
You are comparing two visual builders, and the journal post already covers that ground.
Framer vs WordPress
A visual builder is being weighed against a WordPress site you already have.
Astro vs WordPress
A lighter code front end is being weighed against a WordPress site.
Framer vs Next.js
You need a specialty compare between a visual canvas and an application framework. Read this last.
How to use this set
Start with the job, not the logo
If a marketer must design a new layout on a canvas, start with Webflow vs WordPress, or the existing Framer compares on the journal. If the question is a lighter code front end, start with Astro vs Webflow or Astro vs WordPress.
Use the journal posts that already exist
Framer vs Webflow, Framer vs WordPress, Wix vs Framer, Squarespace vs Framer and Astro vs WordPress remain on the journal. This hub lists them rather than replacing them with a redirect.
Leave Framer vs Next.js until last
It is a specialty compare for teams already weighing a visual canvas against an application framework. It should not be the first page you read, or the first page the site leads with.
You are testing whether a positioning idea gets any interest at all.
Nobody important is about to look at it.
You are happy to throw it away once it works.
When to involve a studio

Landing pages start from $2,500.If you already know the two platforms, open that compare. If you are leaving WordPress or Webflow, use the decision guides.

Common questions
Which comparison should I read first?
Start with the question you are already asking. If you are choosing between a visual marketing CMS and a large editorial stack, read Webflow vs WordPress. If you have a Squarespace or Wix site, read those compares. If a code front end is in play, read Astro vs Webflow or the Astro vs WordPress journal post. Leave Framer vs Next.js until last.
Why are some compares on the journal, not here?
They were already published as journal posts, including Framer vs Webflow, Framer vs WordPress, Wix vs Framer, Squarespace vs Framer and Astro vs WordPress. This hub lists them rather than replacing them with a redirect, so those URLs keep working.
Should I start with Framer vs Next.js?
No. It is a specialty compare for teams already weighing a visual canvas against an application framework. It should not be the first page you read, and it is not the first page this site leads with.
Where do I go if I already know I am leaving WordPress or Webflow?
Open the Leaving WordPress or Leaving Webflow guide. Each one is a chooser that points to the compare and the migration route that match the move, including when staying or a Tune-Up is the more honest next step.
How much does a rebuild cost?
Website builds with us start from $10,000. Landing pages start from $2,500. Migrations start from $10,000 and include the audit, the redirect map and 30 days of monitoring. A Tune-Up is $5,000. The first-year platform fee is a separate, usually much smaller, cost.
Will we lose our Google rankings if we change platform?
You can lose them if URLs change and the redirects are incomplete. You can keep them if the map is signed off, on-page SEO is carried over, and the new templates match the intent of the old pages. Rankings are usually lost to missed redirects, not to a new logo on the CMS. Start with the migration planner, then a signed-off map.You can lose them if URLs change and the redirects are incomplete.

How long does a website take?
Three to six weeks for a full site, depending on page count and how quickly content and feedback come back. A landing page is shorter.
