An ideal CMS platform for design agencies and corporate marketers

Rating: 10 out of 10

April 29, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow as our primary CMS platform for developing websites for our clients. After years of doing traditional, custom code work, we adopted it for it's no/low-code capabilities. We're able to deliver the highest possible quality in a fraction of the time, and at a lower cost than we were previously able to. As a designer-led agency, Webflow has also been a crucial tool for delivering pixel-perfect front-ends and empowering our design team to experiment in new ways.

Pros

Webflow provides the best-in-class interface for building websites without the use of code.
It has a flexible and scalable CMS with page-building capabilities that clients and marketers love.
The built in SEO and optimize tools give marketers an all-in-one solution for building, deploying, and optimizing content.

Cons

Brand recognition is still behind WordPress, which can make it a challenging sell for clients looking to play it safe in their CMS decision.
The CMS is ideal for smaller datasets, but higher content sites introduce some minor challenges.
Alignment between designers and developers is key prior to implementation. The flexibility of the platform requires careful planning to avoid over-engineering.

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow is a game-changer for agencies who service a wide range of clients, and an ideal platform for organizations with strong marketing teams. When marketers need to react quickly to changing industry conditions, or the release of new products, they can leverage the platform to rapidly design and deploy landing pages and new website sections.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow to develop websites for ourselves and for our clients. Webflow allows us to have a digital presence where we can communicate our brand.

Pros

Great for prototyping
Great CMS capabilities
Great visual web designer
Great marketing tool

Cons

Partners program should be free, and not so hard to enter.
Recent pricing changes should be simplified
Webflow should reduce the price of its bandwith pricing

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow, in my opinion, is the best web builder for companies aiming to grow significantly over time. Webflow allows you to start small but with many tools that will allow you to grow a business. Webflow's CMS and page building functionalities allows marketing teams to work seamlessly with the design and development teams.
In the other hand for small businesses that don't really have a budget for a fully functional website, Webflow tends to be too expensive, as there are more affordable options.

I was testing it out as a POC for an internally-built design system documentation site.

Pros

Templates
Pre-made designs
Relative ease

Cons

Pricing
Paid features
Too much manual work

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend Webflow for use as a personal portfolio site or an MVP of a company marketing site but nothing more complex than those two use cases.

Easy lego-like no-code builder for websites

Rating: 10 out of 10

April 2, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've used it to build websites and landing pages for clients, all without coding through its easy no-code lego-like setup ✨ It not only lets you build beautiful custom designs but also gives you an easy to add interaction setup. Thus making the desired output quicker for both the client and us.

Pros

Lego like blocks to build or develop custom designs.
Easy to connect interactions panel
Easy basic SEO setup

Cons

Webflow mobile App for on the go content edits
Ability to limit CMS variably across breakpoints
Advanced slider

Likelihood to Recommend

It is totally excellent for landing pages and websites, especially when you are looking for something custom, yet quick!✨ It is less appropriate for websites that need user accounts, as it is has discontinued this feature recently. External plugins are available but that is just an added cost.

Best option for simple visual websites

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

March 27, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Webflow is our primary tool for websites requiring more than a landing page and no direct integration with a database app like Airtable. We love its CMS features for our blog and selling digital products. It offers the perfect balance of a GUI and developer accommodations.

Pros

Websites focused on visuals rather than heavy technical functionality
Blog management
E-commerce for digital products

Cons

User management
Better organization of classes (styles)
More control of subscription sold as digital product

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow is well suited for sites focused on appearance over heavy technological needs. It's blog and e-commerce features. For sites needing to integrate with database apps or host user accounts, it's not a great option.

Enhance app capabilities

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow is a great platform for businesses that want a sharp website with advanced customization capabilities and is somewhat user-friendly for non-developers to make adjustments and content edits.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a web agency that builds elegant and high-performing websites for various clients in the Pacific Northwest. Webflow is our preferred platform because it allows our team to create beautiful websites without sacrificing functionality and user experience. Often, we bring clients on who are frustrated with their current website provider, and in general, all of our clients have been very happy with the switch.

Pros

Customer Support - you can email them and a real human will respond in 24 hours
Launching New Features - Webflow is always working on something and it's great to see them answering the requests of their users.
Partnerships - Webflow partners with a lot of incredible businesses that make integrations a breeze.

Cons

Building for smaller businesses - a lot of Webflow's decisions are made with large businesses in mind which sometimes is not attainable for smaller businesses
Since Webflow is a newer tool, there's still a lot of growth to be done

Likelihood to Recommend

I've worked with many website-building platforms, and I genuinely believe that Webflow is the superior option. It's abilities are bar none compared to other tools out there. It is more of a learning curve when compared to a drag-and-drop builder. Still, the Webflow University education platform is unmatched and allows anyone to get the hang of Webflow development.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow for our own website but also to build and design client websites. It enables us to quickly go from design to production of the sites and suits team members that would not have a coding background. Updating the sites is easy and the CMS feature is great. It also allows us to share designs with clients effortlessly.

Pros

Easy to use interface.
Resources and training via Webflow University - the tutorial videos are informative and funny.
Competitively priced.

Cons

Canvas scaling does not work great.
Having to use 3rd parties like MailChimp to make even simple form submissions operational is a real pain.

Likelihood to Recommend

The platform is easy to use, and the interface is brilliant, where you can easily apply styles, see the structure, and develop sites quickly and easily. It is also a great learning platform for beginners to learn how to design and build sites. It ensures the backend code is compliant, and the audit feature is a great time saver. Ensuring sites are responsive and look great on different devices is super easy. The CMS feature is powerful, especially for adding new pages or making updates. The resources are awesome, from tutorials to templates. The admin section is simple and useful for billing, etc.

Good for people who want to easily design a simple, nice looking site but, in opinion, TERRIBLE for content management

June 14, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow to design and host our website and to manage our content, forms and landing pages.

Pros

Easy website builder
Intuitive

Cons

The Content Management System needs improvement. In my experience, it's very difficult to organise all our content at big volumes. We want to create a resources section where we can categorize our content but there isn't an easy or intuitive way to do it
In my opinion, it's incredibly difficult to create tables in an article
You have to do custom coding for anchor links within an article and it's time consuming and, in my opinion, super annoying
Website designs are not responsive we need to keep designing a separate mobile version
In my opinion, Formatting content in articles is annoying compared to other CMSs like Wordpress, Shopify, Wix, Blogger, etc. Worst experience I've had.
Changes to the nav bar on the homepage do not reflect universally, we needed to do the same changes all over again for our blog and mobile
Content editors need to keep logging in every time they add content

Likelihood to Recommend

I would only recommend Webflow to someone who wants to create a super simple website with a few pages. I absolutely would not recommend it to anyone who is looking to start a blog or write content because, in my opinion, it's just a nightmare, especially compared to other CMSs out there.

Best Web Development tool

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

June 11, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow as our CMS. We decided to redesign our website, which was previously built in PHP, so that the team could collaborate on the content creation and design. Webflow allows almost anyone to start creating a website, which was great for our time since we don't have any website developers in-house.

Pros

Drag and drop design.
Styling without the need of coding.
Optimize the backend for better performance.
Flexibility for layout design.

Cons

Though the knowledge hub is great, it would be great to know everything from the start, like libraries.
Support could improve. It is being able to ask specific questions to a CSM or something like that.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe it's the best tool for website development. It's easy to learn and use, and it allows you to design whatever you want instead of sticking to more basic layouts.
