"Excellent work! Fast, reliable and look and feel matched beyond our expectations."
Lucas Berman
Partner, FOX BERMAN
Built in Webflow
"After struggling to build our website on Squarespace and wasting valuable time with underwhelming designers on Upwork, we finally discovered Arek at Ebaqdesign—and what a game-changer that was. From the very start, he understood our vision, took control of the process, and delivered a brand transformation that exceeded all our expectations. The results were beyond anything we could have imagined!"
Alan Rudt

"Arek worked with us on the complete redesign of the NextDimension AI visual identity and website. He was thoughtful, responsive, and patient throughout the process, from exploring the logo direction to refining the website’s content, design, and functionality. What stood out most was his ability to clearly explain and defend his creative vision while still listening to our feedback. We are both convinced by the final direction and very happy with the result."

For the design of the website, yes: Framer gives a designer far more control over layout and motion. HubSpot’s strength is that the website sits next to the CRM, email, and forms a marketing team already uses.
For most sites, yes. Framer’s Pro plan is listed at $30 per month. HubSpot’s Content Hub has a free plan, Starter is listed at $20 per seat per month before discounts, and Professional starts at $450 per month with three seats.
Yes. Many teams keep HubSpot for the CRM and email, and run the website somewhere else. Leads from the site’s forms are sent to HubSpot, so sales and marketing keep working where they already do.
Both cover the basics. Framer has page titles, descriptions, redirects, and a sitemap built in. HubSpot includes SEO tools alongside its blog. Useful content and fast pages matter more than which of the two you pick.
Framer is easier for a small team that wants to change pages directly on a canvas. HubSpot is easier for marketers who already spend their day in HubSpot and want pages, posts, and campaigns in one place.
When the website depends on HubSpot features throughout: personalized content from CRM data, many landing pages tied to campaigns, or a team trained on it. If only the forms depend on HubSpot, a move is simple.
Yes. The pages are rebuilt on the new platform, the content is moved across, and old URLs are redirected at launch, so existing links and search results land on the new pages.
$3,000 per week, flat, on Framer, Webflow, or Next.js. A site usually takes two to three weeks, so $6,000 to $9,000 in total, fixed on the kickoff call. The platform bills its own plan separately. See pricing.
