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.
We began using Webflow to design custom landing pages for various marketing initiatives, so we are the only users. Webflow allows us the functionality to have custom pages and micro sites that we can use to drive traffic to specific campaigns and we're able to use certain features not available in our CMS theme.
Pros
Integrations
Site/page management
interactions
Cons
pricing is a little high
pretty steep learning curve
have to use 3rd party form vendor if you want to export and host yourself
Likelihood to Recommend
The possibilities with Webflow are pretty much limitless if you are willing to research how the platform handles different things you want to do. It has a ton of integration options and depending on the setup has e-commerce and CMS functionality. The only issue we ran into was some features require a hosting plan to function correctly - we had some issues trying to get certain features to work once we exported code and uploaded to our servers.
