Compare Webflow with other popular tools in the same category.
Webflow is easy to learn but works seamlessly with custom code, so endless possibilities exist! Plus, it's fast to see your vision come to life. Building pixel-perfect designs with Webflow is much easier than with other website builders.
One downside is that it is so easy to learn it sometimes feels like I shouldn't have spent so much time mastering it. This could be better by including more opportunities for showcasing dedicated Webflow developers.
Webflow solved my problem of using worse website builders if I wanted to use a content management system. Webflows CMS works so smoothly it's easy to hand off finished sites to clients and have them update their new sites.
To have a support team behind. The fast load and WPO optimization. What you can design and program with Webflow. All the integration with Make or Zappier Best platform in the world!!
Is not easy get use to and learn, its take time but for me is not a problem really because the result are the best
Have a solid platform anf secure for my customer. I forgot to upgrade plugins all the time. Also the easy integration with CRM or ERP using no code tools like Make.
What I love most about Webflow is its ease with which it allows us to create unique websites without extensive programming knowledge. Something that cannot be overlooked is its user interface, which is very intuitive and easy to use. Unlike other web design tools, Webflow has a visual approach, making it easier to create and edit designs directly on the page without the need to write code. Another plus point is its flexibility and the provision of pre-designed templates that can be customized to our needs. In addition, it allows us to integrate our designs with other popular tools such as Zapier, Mailchimp or Google Analytics.
While it is an intuitive tool, it also has a bit of a steep learning curve, although fortunately, there are tutorials and help resources on the platform. Another critical point about Webflow is its price; subscription plans can be more expensive than other web design options.
The main benefit gained from Webflow is the incredible ease and speed with which it allows us to create stunning websites without coding; it greatly simplifies the process and helps us save time and a lot of effort that can be spent on other tasks within the organization. In addition, its ability to integrate with other tools available in our work environment allows us to take even more advantage of our designs and digital resources; this tool has been a necessary asset for all of us.
As a Designer who's used to tools like Adobe's InDesign, I find that Webflow's logic and layout are familiar and comfortable. You aren't editing templates and trying to shoehorn your ideas in. You start with a blank canvas and have total control over how the final design ends up.
The Breakpoint Preview only allows for adjustments to the width but not the height. Previewing settings that rely on the Viewport Height, such as Background Images, is painful for mobile devices. The only way to accomplish it is to post the page on the test site that comes with it and use the web browser's native tools to view a more realistic approximation.
We never offered Web Design service for two main reasons: Neither of us knew how to code an entire site; We don't have time to maintain and troubleshoot the site long term. That is a significant reason we stayed away from other competitors of Webflow like WordPress. With Webflow, there are no updates that break the site and require maintenance, nor is any coding knowledge needed. Since adding Web Design to our skill set, we've closed two of the largest deals we've ever had and were nominated for Awwwards' Site of the Day Award.
This is a tricky question to answer if you have never used Webflow. Having used Webflow for a few years, I like how easy it is to build designs I want and interact with data (collections). When I first started using Webflow, I liked Webflow university. 95% of my questions are answered there. I still use it regularly when I forget something or try something new.
Since I'm a big fan of Webflow, I hate to say anything negative about it. But there are a couple of issues that I wish were better. My hope is the Webflow team is actively addressing these issues. There are many things on the Webflow wish list, and I agree many of those would make Webflow better. But there are two areas that I have a regular issue with. The first issue is e-commerce. As powerful as it is, it's still lacking features that competitors have. This weakness has caused me to lose a client and be unable to accept a client's project. I'll be the first to agree that it's easy to use, but larger businesses have high expectations of e-commerce features. The second issue is the interface and speed of customer support. The process of submitting a support ticket is a bit awkward and adds time to the submission process. Then once a ticket is submitted, I don't get consistent response times. However, I will say that most of my issues have been addressed satisfactorily, so the support results are not an issue.
For years I had been relying on third-party developers to help me develop my client websites. Once I learned Webflow, I realized that this added process could be eliminated in 80% of my work. It also means I was in much more control of the final product. I also know how it works because I'm the one who made it work. The term "no-code" is closely tied to Webflow, and after using it for several years, I can confirm that much of the work is "no-code." As a result, I can focus on user experience and design.
We were looking for a website builder that runs exclusively in the browser. We tried a few options but were never really satisfied. Then we came across webflow and were thrilled from the start. It was outstanding to see how webflow developed over the years. Sometimes we wished for new features. And it was remarkable how quickly webflow recognized what the community needed right now to take the next step. That hasn't changed until today. We are listening. Countless examples prove this credo of webflow. In short, I am very grateful to webflow for sticking with it and turning an excellent idea into a perfect solution. The platform has changed how I work and inspires me daily as a designer and marketing manager.
It took quite a while for the webflow team to understand that there is a lot of demand for webflow at an enterprise level. It's nice that they are moving in this direction and that webflow Enterprise is getting more attention.
Webflow has helped us to design and maintain websites and projects through a single platform. Ideas can be implemented much faster, and web projects are much easier to create and maintain.
Webflow has enabled me as a freelancer to make ends meet. The software is incredibly powerful and intuitive, and the team is surprisingly receptive to feedback and change from the community. The interactions capabilities help level up bespoke experiences, and the recently improved user permissions give me a ton of power and flexibility to execute as a freelancer.
There is always room for improvement, and Webflow is constantly making changes to improve the platform. As of this writing, the limitations to the eCommerce platform leave much to be desired, and other limitations to systems like the CMS can sometimes make Webflow a challenging sell. But these negatives are nitpicky and do not take away from the very positive interactions I have with Webflow on a daily basis.
There is a great desire in the web space for bespoke, creative websites. Webflow is the easy choice for users looking to make beautiful, custom, performant websites that make you feel something. Creating no-code sites is a low skill-floor activity that is made easier thanks to an excellent UI, top-tier features, and an evolving platform of community-driven improvements with platforms like custom extensions or new Marketplace features like libraries.
Webflow is an incredible platform for building web content without code. It empowers freelancers, small businesses, and enterprises to create and maintain websites without significant involvement from IT resources (if any at all).
Native integration with 3rd parties is still small. However, using a middle service like Zappier will solve most of your use cases. Also, CMS content must be hosted on Webflow's servers. You can't deploy on your own. However, a workaround exists to synchronize your Webflow site with another environment, but only for enterprise customers.
Webflow empowers our Product and Design teams to rapidly iterate our marketing websites and create high-fidelity prototypes of applications without any development involvement.
Webflow is incredibly flexible, allows you to focus on design while still leveraging powerful custom code and integrations. Can spin up powerful websites in hours rather than days or weeks.
Nothing to dislike so far. Really finding value in all of the features offered by Webflow. Looking forward to some upcoming product features that all seem to be well prioritized.
Webflow gives us the ability to quickly spin up, edit, and test on all of our marketing / front-end pages. New features will go even further allowing us to leverage webflow even deeper into our web-app on more custom pages.
As designer, webflow gives me the ability to create everything I have in mind fast and with little or no code, cutting down pricey and time consuming developer time.
Collaboration within a team is not so straightforward, and native multilanguage support hasn't arrived yet. However, Webflow is constantly improving and updating its platform to fix its limitation and fit our needs.
We have a very busy frontend team which can now focus on important tasks, while the majority of the work can be done directly by the Website team in a fast and efficient manner. It also helps us to keep consistency across all designs.
