Figma Sites is a website tool that can turn Figma designs into fully functional websites without handing them off to a developer. But there are many website building platforms out there, and depending on what you need to run your website, it can be worth considering alternatives with more built-in features or a more traditional no-code website editor.

1. Squarespace

Pricing starts at: $16 per month

Squarespace is a design-driven website builder made for creators, entrepreneurs, and brands looking to stand out online. It offers flexible website templates, an AI website builder, and curated tools to build and publish polished websites, with or without code.

Squarespace vs. Figma Sites

Squarespace puts a premium on visual quality and ease of use. You don’t need code to make a beautiful Squarespace website—it includes robust editing tools and AI-powered design guidance—but it also supports custom code injections for more advanced designers. That ability to adapt the platform to all skill levels makes it a good option for web designers who hand sites off to clients.

Figma Sites offers AI-supported code customization, but editing is currently more tied to the Figma product. Squarespace also comes with more built-in business features, like ecommerce, client invoicing and project management, analytics, and built-in email marketing.

Key features

  • Curated design templates and visual editor

  • AI website builder, content generation, and SEO tools

  • Ecommerce with built-in payments, shipping, and invoicing

  • Email marketing and appointment booking

  • Extensions for added customization

  • 24/7 customer support

2. Webflow

Pricing starts at: $14 per month, or limited free plan

Webflow is a no-code website builder that blends visual design tools with a high level of layout control. It includes a content management system (CMS) for publishing and ecommerce features on higher-tier plans.

Webflow vs. Figma Sites 

Both Webflow and Figma Sites are highly visual tools that could appeal to design professionals. While Figma Sites focuses on turning designs into sites automatically, Webflow has a more traditional website building experience. It gives you a visual editor to build page layouts, site interactions, and animations. Figma Sites doesn’t have a standalone AI website builder or native ecommerce features. Webflow offers both, though you’ll need a higher-tier plan for ecommerce access.

Key features

  • Visual layout and interaction design tools

  • Built-in CMS for dynamic content

  • Custom code support

3. Framer

Pricing starts at: $5 per month

Like Webflow, Framer is a no-code website builder created with visual designers in mind. Framer offers a Figma to HTML website building flow, but you can also use its traditional website editor to create a site.

Framer vs. Figma Sites

Framer shares Figma’s emphasis on visual workflows, but currently has more website platform tools built into its product. Figma Sites focuses on translating static designs into live websites. On Framer, you can turn a Figma design into a website layout or build directly in the website editor. Framer also offers live website editing with collaborators. 

Neither Framer nor Figma Sites come with built-in ecommerce or email marketing functionality, but Framer offers simple analytics tracking on some plans.

Key features

  • Visual editor with animations and responsive design

  • Custom code support

  • Live collaboration and real-time updates

4. WordPress

Pricing starts at: $4 per month, or limited free plan

WordPress.com offers website building tools on top of its open-source CMS. It offers strong support for content publishing and offers ecommerce and plugin-based customization on higher-tier plans.

WordPress vs. Figma Sites

Figma Sites focuses more heavily on turning Figma designs into live websites, while WordPress.com offers a more straightforward website editing experience. Its block-based editor and website themes allow for visual site creation without touching code, but can be customized if you have more web design experience. 

WordPress also offers options for adding functionality with third-party plugins on certain plans. It may require more manual setup to add and manage those plugins, but there currently aren’t similar plugins available for Figma Sites. 

Key features

  • Block-based visual editor

  • Library of customizable themes

  • Ecommerce via WooCommerce on some plans

5. Wix

Pricing starts at: $17 per month, or limited free plan

Wix offers a drag-and-drop website builder with access to templates, an AI website builder, and design tools. It has a beginner-friendly editor with custom layout control and ecommerce on higher-level plans.

Wix vs. Figma Sites

Wix offers visual editing and design flexibility in a more standard no-code website builder. You can start a Wix website from a premade template or its AI website builder. With a plugin, you can turn Figma designs into Wix websites. 

Unlike Figma Sites, Wix offers built-in ecommerce (on specific subscription plans) and marketing tools. However, you won’t be able to paste designs from Figma directly into the Wix editor, as you can on Figma Sites.

Key features

  • Drag-and-drop visual editor

  • AI site builder and text generator

  • App market for added features

Choosing a Figma Sites Alternative

The website building platform you choose depends on your goals, budget, and needs. Consider what matters most to you: price, ease of use, design flexibility, ecommerce features, or growth potential. Every platform has its own strengths.

When evaluating your top options, consider:

  • Pricing: Consider monthly costs, promotional pricing, and transaction fees.

  • Design control: What level of customization do you want?

  • Marketing tools: Do you need built-in email or SEO support?

  • Client handoffs: Will clients need to manage their site independently after handoff?

  • Scalability: Do you want to do more than build a website? Do you want the option to organize events, sell products, or manage client bookings and payments?

Your choice may also come down to aesthetic preferences and ease of use. We recommend trying out more than one platform to see which feels most intuitive to use and creates the most appealing website design for your taste.

If you’re looking to create beautiful websites and have the option to use your website as a business tool, Squarespace is a great option. The platform leads with strong design and allows for flexible customization with or without custom code. Plus, it has features for selling physical and digital products, booking appointments, marketing, and invoicing.

Ultimately, the right tool depends on how much structure you want up front and how far you want to grow your site. Whether you're building a portfolio, a personal brand, or a full business, there's a visual-first website builder to help you make it happen.
