A launch page is only the beginning of an inquiry. In Cedros, the page, form, customer context, and communication tools live within one site. Your assistant can help prepare the next response while your team keeps control of what is read, edited, or sent.
Both platforms support reusable site design and structured content. Framer combines a visual canvas, components, and CMS; Cedros combines shared page layouts and independent content fields with its business workspace. Try the same page update in each, including the phone layout and the person who will maintain it next month.
A focused website plus specialist tools can be the right setup. Cedros is worth considering when shared context and fewer separate operational workflows matter to you. Check required conversion testing, analytics, commerce, and integration behavior explicitly.
Keep pages current with drafts, revisions, shared layouts, SEO settings, redirects, and analytics in one workspace. A shared layout update reaches every linked page while preserving its content. Hosted plans include hosting and backups; Developer and Agency also let you connect your own supported AI and email providers.
For Cedros, include the website plan, traffic and storage capacity, AI usage, email volume, required extensions, and any charges from your own providers. For Framer, include the site and CMS capacity you need, collaboration/localization requirements, and external customer tools. Include custom implementation and maintenance on both platforms.
Yes. Use the theme and page builder, with custom React and supported motion libraries where needed. The result depends on the authored design; this is a different workflow from Framer’s visual canvas.
No. Identify the workflows Cedros will own and the external services you intend to keep. Verify any data exchange they require.
An existing project needs adaptation. Bring over the content and assets, then rebuild routes and custom interactions using Cedros pages and extensions.
