Framer vs Oud — Two Different Ways to Shape the Web

The web keeps evolving — and so do the tools that shape it.

Framer and Oud both promise speed, beauty, and simplicity, yet they approach creation through entirely different philosophies.

Framer is built around AI-assisted design, while Oud revolves around composition, structure, and community. Both are powerful — but they speak to different types of creators.

A Matter of Philosophy

Framer treats the web like a canvas. You paint, move, adjust — the goal is to design faster and smoother with the help of AI. Oud, on the other hand, treats the web like an instrument. It’s not about generating designs; it’s about composing them.

Framer accelerates visual exploration. Oud brings intention to structure — every block, every element fitting together like notes in a melody.

Framer wants to make websites look good. Oud wants to make them feel composed.

Building Experience

Framer feels familiar to designers: drag, drop, tweak, and deploy. It’s a visual playground powered by AI.

Oud rejects that paradigm entirely. No drag, no pixel pushing — just pure composition. You select ready-made blocks built on shadcn/ui, fill them with real content using the built-in CMS, and watch a fully-formed site take shape naturally.

Framer gives you flexibility; Oud gives you coherence.
Framer lets you move things around; Oud ensures everything belongs.

Design System — The Power of shadcn/ui

At the core of Oud lies shadcn/ui, a modern component system celebrated for its elegance, accessibility, and composability.

Every Oud block inherits its design language: responsive, accessible, and deeply customizable.

Framer offers pre-styled components to speed things up, but Oud’s block-first approach means full control without breaking design harmony.

Framer feels like a playground. Oud feels like a studio — where every element plays in tune.

CMS & Content Flow

Framer’s CMS is powerful and well-integrated — perfect for quickly building dynamic sites and managing content visually. But when your content grows, you start feeling the walls.

Oud’s CMS is built-in, multilingual, and SEO-ready from day one. It’s designed not just to hold content, but to orchestrate it.

You can manage blogs, events, and posts, translate content across languages, and optimize SEO without leaving the platform.

In Framer, design leads and content follows.
In Oud, content and design are part of the same composition.

Community & Marketplace

Framer has a thriving design community. Creators sell templates, share inspiration, and even earn through affiliate programs.

Oud builds upon that idea, but expands it into an open ecosystem. It introduces a marketplace for developers and designers to build and sell blocks, templates, and themes.

This transforms Oud into more than a builder — it becomes an economy of creation. A space where everyone can contribute, earn, and grow.

The web today is full of shadcn/ui blocks scattered everywhere. But there’s no all-in-one platform that brings them together.
Oud will.

Customization & Launch

Framer makes launching fast — and that’s its superpower. Oud makes launching meaningful.

You can choose from themes, fonts, and color palettes, connect custom domains, and manage SEO, metadata, and languages seamlessly.

Framer focuses on creative freedom.
Oud focuses on intentional structure — not just how your site looks, but how it lives.

The Future of Web Creation

Framer is AI-first — built for speed, iteration, and design exploration. Oud is composition-first — built for structure, clarity, and meaning.

Framer helps you design faster. Oud helps you create with more depth and intention.

They’re not competitors. They’re instruments for different kinds of creators.

But if you believe the web isn’t just something to be built — if you believe it can be composed — then Oud might just be your new instrument.

Final Note

The web doesn’t need another builder.
It needs an instrument.

Oud — built on shadcn/ui, designed for creators, and composed for the modern web.
