// EDITOR'S TAKE

WebStudio is the closest thing to Framer here, a genuine design canvas with responsive controls, a built-in CMS and its own hosting, while Plasmic gives up some of that polish in exchange for dropping visual pages into an existing React codebase. Onlook suits designers who want to edit their own React app rather than move platform, and WordPress only makes sense if content volume matters more to you than pixel control.
