No-code website builder Framer has raised a $100 million Series D funding round. The round was led by existing investors Meritech and Atomico with participation from WiL and HV.

With half a million monthly active users, businesses have become the majority of Framer’s new customers, including companies like Miro, Perplexity, and Scale AI, and 40% of Y Combinator’s most recent batch.

“With this funding, we’re doubling down on enterprise growth and AI, so any company can confidently run their entire website on Framer. Rather than static landing pages, Framer supports dynamic websites that teams can quickly update — without requiring developer support. More recently, the company has added analytics and enterprise security features, with the goal of helping “companies run their entire .com,” said CEO and co-founder Koen Bok.

Elsewhere, Strapi and CrafterCMS announced new partnerships with digital agencies, and Bloomreach received the Tech Cares award from TrustRadius.
