Who owns the Framer site after launch?
Overview
You do. The site lives in your Framer account, which you fully control. You can edit it, transfer it, export it, or move it to a different host if you need to. There's no lock-in beyond the standard platform subscription.
Context
Some platforms create dependencies that make leaving difficult. Framer doesn't. The site is yours, the content is yours, and the account is yours. If you part ways with the studio that built it, you can keep editing the site through your own Framer account. If you ever want to move off Framer entirely, you can export the site as static HTML. The contrast with custom-built WordPress sites is significant. Custom WordPress builds often depend on a specific developer's setup, custom plugins, or proprietary themes that nobody else can maintain. When the original developer leaves, the site becomes a black box that's expensive to update and risky to migrate. Framer avoids that entire failure mode because the platform is standard, the editor is the same for everyone, and any other Framer-fluent team can pick up where the previous one left off.
Takeaway
Make sure you own the Framer account at the end of the project, not the studio. The site travels with the account, not the developer.
