Due to services like Webflow, website designing has reached new heights. What seemed complex a few years back, has been completely eased out by a lot of Websäit Builder.
Knowing which website builder suits your requirement requires some background knowledge about the website builder along with understanding what it offers.
Een esou Websäit Builder deen ëmmer méi populär gouf Webflow.
Webflow ass e Drag and Drop Websäit Builder fir reaktiounsfäeger Websäiten ze bauen. Et gouf am Joer 2013 fir d'éischt ugefaang an huet hire Sëtz zu San Francisco, Kalifornien, USA.
Awer, Webflow has a more unique pitch than most website builders:
What if you could combine the usability of a website builder with the power of code? And a fully featured CMS (content management system)?
So from that alone, Webflow probably sounds like a great website builder.
Which leads to questions:
What is like to actually use Webflow? Is it good? Is it suitable for YOU?
Gutt, haalt ier Dir entscheet ob Webflow ass gëeegent fir Iech.
Through this review, I will unveil some of the pros and cons of the oddest website builders around.

- wide range of plans means a lot of customer choice
- secure host
- easy to use, relative to powerful features

Pros Webflow:
Ee vun de gréisste Virdeeler mat Webflow ass, datt Dir ufänken kann se benotze fir fräiAn. Gutt, dëst ass gratis fir ëmmer. Eng gëeegent Plaz fir Persoune mat engem nidderegen Budget.
WebFlow Features:
Et wier ugemooss hir Funktiounen als ee vun de Profien ze addéieren.
Gutt, sécher ass et e Grond dofir.
Seng Drag & Drop Websäit Builder immens ënnerstëtzt vun HTML, CSS, JavaScript gëtt ugedriwwen fir visuell attraktiv an interaktiv Websäiten ze bauen déi och Animatiounen ënnerstëtzen.
However, no code is needed on your end to build your website on Webflow.
The CMS (content management system) and E-commerce supported by Webflow erlaben easy website designing. Similarly, the editor along with seamless web hosting capabilities makes it quicker to launch your website.
The plans include advanced SEO controls and the sites developed with Webflow sinn all SEO frëndlech.
Dovun kritt Dir Zougang zu méi wéi 100 responsive Template. Webflow bitt eng REST-baséiert API déi Dir benotze kënnt fir Artikelen vun Ärem CMS ze aktualiséieren / ze addéieren / ze läschen.
Plan Flexibilitéit:
Webflow liwwert versatile Pläng. Wéi ech ernimmt hutt Dir d'Méiglechkeet hir ze wielen fräien Plan which remains free forever. With the free plan, you can use two projects with full designing and publish on webflow.io.
But of course, you’re probably wondering about the real question: how much is Webflow, tatsächlech?
Let’s get into the real Webflow pricing. There are two types of paid plans:
D'Pläng sinn opgedeelt wéi -
- Site Plang - Dëst ass e Basis Websäit Gebai
- Kont Pläng - Dëst ass e méi fortgeschratt Websäit Gebai mat zousätzlech Funktiounen.
Site Plang bitt 2 Zorte vu Pläng-
- Websäit Pläng
- E-Commerce Pläng
There are 4 plans with the Basis Plang ugefaange vu $ 14 / Mount.
D'E-Commerce Pläng enthalen och 3 verschidde Pläng, ab $ 29 / Mount.
This is a bit on the higher end, but overall the Webflow ecommerce price range is like other website builders, including e-commerce focused website builders.
The standard plan contains 2% transaction fees, while the other plans do not have any transaction fees.
D'Pläng ënnerstëtzen eng ganz Partie Marketing Feature mat wéineg Basis- a fortgeschrattem Marketing Support. Dëst ass verfügbar onofhängeg vum Plang deen Dir gewielt hutt.
The e-commerce plans possess a revenue cap for the first two plans.
A point to note is that the renewals are higher priced as compared to the first-time pricing.
So those three e-commerce and four “website” plans are ALL part of the first main category, of “site plans.”
While it has lot of options, the Account plans do too.
Kontenpläng hunn 2 Aarte vu Pläng:
- For In-house teams
- For freelancers & agencies
In the in-house teams plan, you have one free plan along with 2 other paid plans. The plans available are as highlighted below.
The Freelancers & Agencies there are 2 plans as highlighted below.
Insgesamt sinn d'Pläng bezuelbar fir déi vill Features déi all Plang bitt. Virausgesat datt Dir sou vill Plangoptiounen hutt, kënnt Dir decidéieren the best plan based on your website requirements.
Webflow Sécherheet:
Zousätzlech mat verschidde Funktiounen ze bidden, Webflow also has appropriate basic security controls. Each plan is supported with a free SSL certificate.
All seng Pläng enthalen e Backup an d'Versioun.
Zousätzlech kann déi komplett Websäit mat engem Passwuert geschützt a geséchert sinn.
Webflow provides enhanced security by ensuring it has the required compliance.
In addition to meeting industry security standards with ISO 27001 certification, Webflow is undergoing another audit soon.
Moreover, the payment processor Webflow uses is secure:
Which is essential for having a secure online store.
Einfachheet vun der Notzung:
You might be wondering about WebflowLiichtegkeet de Gebrauch.
After all, even though you don’t have to know code at all, Webflow offers so many features that it might not seem easy to use.
But the good news is that even the features Webflow offers themselves are easy to use.
There are a lot of intuitive web design features added onto Webflow’s website builder.
Your website designing only requires simple drag and drop functionality. And again, with zero code required.
De Websäit Editor bitt eng simplistesch Vue mat all Menü op extrem lénks.
Dir kënnt en Element wielt an et personaliséieren. Webflow ënnerstëtzt iwwer 2000 Schrëften.
Wärend ech soen datt all Element personaliséiert ka ginn, géif ech och soen datt dëst op kee Fall eng Basis Personnalisatioun ass. Dir kënnt e puer wierklech komplex Anpassungen erstellen.
So that’s why Webflow is such an impressive website builder. And although Webflow offers tons of features in the site builder, the overarching focus is on ease of use.
The huge range of features that come by default negate the need for plugins, which you would usually need on a rival CMS like WordPress, or even rival website building companies like Shopify or Wix.
However, you can still add HUNDREDS of third party applications through the app Zapier, which Webflow allows easily.
But I’ll talk more on the CMS feature later in this review. For now…
Templates:
Webflow well e Websäit Builder bitt eng gutt 100 Template Sammlungen. Dës Schabloune si komplett mobil reaktiounsfäeger.
Dir kënnt dëst personaliséieren mat der Inbuilt Webflowass säi Code-gratis Editor.
Webflow provides a list of website templates to search from.
Dat Bescht Webflow templates do cost money.
Awer glécklecherweis, Webflow bitt och eng gutt Sammlung vu gratis Template fir E-Commerce, CMS, Business, an anerer.
It’s easy to find a template right for your specific site.
Webflow segregéiert all Template baséiert op dem Domain a presentéiert eng Lëscht mat Template-Designs.
Alles an Allem, Webflow provides a great selection of templates. The templates work well with the site builder, and are great for making a responsive website.
Äntwert an Uptime:
Webflow has very good uptime and is super fast. It has to be, or it wouldn’t be as successful as it is:
Webflow processes 3x more pageviews through its customers’ sites a month than CNN.com and BBC.com combined.
It’s roster of high profile clients means that Webflow is trusted with, and successfully, delivers excellent performance.
Mat uptime, Webflow bitt och eng gutt Äntwertzäit mat schnelle Geschwindeg Support. Déi vun der benotzt Infrastruktur Webflow is designed to ensure consistent, fast speed for your site.
Webflow ënnerstëtzt déi direkt Skala vun de Ressourcen. All Pläng enthalen CDN fir séier Geschwindegkeet. Wärend déi méi fortgeschratt Pläng enthalen Advanced Global CDN.
That’s essential for anyone who anticipates steady site growth, or even just if you want to be ready for the moment your site explodes in popularity.
Dat meescht Basis Plang supports 2,50,000 site visits per month.
I have an issue with that, that I’ll get to later in this review, but it’s not big.
CMS Ënnerstëtzung:
Webflow’s CMS is flawlessly integrated into the rest of the software and features.
If you used another CMS, like WordPress, you would need to connect a web host and domain, plus perhaps even buy a page builder add-on within that CMS.
Dir kënnt meng review of the best WordPress alternatives for more on that topic.
Or if you used a more normal website builder with less features, you’d probably have minimal CMS features (like Wix).
Dir kënnt Iech kucken my review of the best Webflow Alternativen to see more on how its competitors compare. But ultimately there’s a loss of features for Webflow Alternativen.
Also benotzt Webflow’s CMS is much easier to use than another CMS but also more powerful than a typical site builder.
You can quickly create a blog post, and review and manage all your other content.
Zousätzlech Webflow provides good CMS support.
Fir dëst besser ze illustréieren Webflow bitt och ausgeglache Videoe mat där all Feature méi detailléiert gëtt.
E-Commerce Support:
Webflow huet eng gläich gutt Ënnerstëtzung fir den Design vun E-Commerce. Dëst ass net nëmmen evident vu sengen E-Commerce Pläng, awer och vun de Personnalisatiounen, déi et a sengem Editeur fir d'E-Commerce Store Entwécklung bitt.
Ariichten an Design vun Ärem Geschäft ka fäerdeg sinn an e puer Mausklicken.
As with regular site editing, no code is needed.
Plus, ecommerce features include more than just ecommerce site design. Marketing tools are also included to elevate every step of your ecommerce game.
Here’s one example of this:
Client Support:
Wann Dir jeemools verluer verluer hutt iwwerdeems Dir benotzt Webflowan, da braucht Dir keng Suergen ze hunn, well Webflow provides a huge array of resources you can review.
One of the best things about the forum is that you can always get the latest tips and fixes.
For example, some of these important topics were last updated with information less than an hour before I typed this:
The forum is a great resource, but Webflow University is the real highlight here.
Webflow university has a ton of information that basically substitutes for a knowledge base.
Just about every single aspect of making a good website, or how to use Webflow specifically, is there, a further boon to ease of use.
Ausser dem Host vu Clientssupportoptiounen, Webflow bitt och eng Instant Ressource Finder Optioun.
If still, you need help, then you can also message their customer support. The customer support typically provides email responses within a few hours.
Webflow huet eng gutt Blog collection which is also informative.
Webflow bitt Ënnerstëtzung mat vill Video Tutorials betrëfft all Thema.
For anything else, Webflow huet eng FAQ Sektioun och.
Cont Webflow:
Webflow huet vill intuitiv Funktiounen, keng Zweifel doriwwer. Awer huet dëst och Mängel?
Wéi all aner Plattform, Webflow huet wéineg Mängel, déi ech hei däitlech erausbréngen.
Ech wäert net iwwer hir méi héich Erneierungsraten oder Transaktiounsfraise am E-Commerce Basisplang schwätzen. Dëst ass eppes wat vill vu senge Konkurrenten och integréieren.
Also, wat si genau dës Cons?
Code Personnalisatiounen:
Webflow is easy to use with its drag and drop options. However, if you are looking for complex code level customizations, then this is not possible.
iwwerdeems Webflow funktionnéiert gutt mat sengen virgedefinéierte Templates an Editeur Personnalisatiounen, et liwwert minimalistesch Code-Niveau Personnalisatioun.
Additionally, while you can export your site’s code via download, you can’t wholly import site code into Webflow.
Pläng:
D'Pläng geliwwert vun Webflow si villsäiteg, sou wéi ech virdru schonn däitlech gemaach hunn. Och wär dëst en enorme Choix gëtt, kënnen a ville Fäll d'Benotzer dës Pläng duerchernee fannen.
Additionally, it can feel unnecessarily complex at first: it’s not like most rival website builders, which don’t have the same range of plans.
On first glance, it does take some time to decipher which plan is the most suitable one. Having said this, I would also like to mention that WebflowDe Clientsdéngscht ënnerstëtzt Är Ufroen iwwer gëeegent Pläng.
Steil Léierkurve:
Webflow bitt e huge list of features. With a long feature list also comes a steep learning curve.
Also, wann Dir just ugefang sidd, kann dat erfuerderen e puer Tutorials duerchzeféieren ier Dir tatsächlech unzefänken fir hiren Editeur ze entdecken an ze benotzen.
Dank hirer gudder Ressource-Sammlung zesumme mat enger Zuel vu Video-Tutorials erliichtert et d'Léierkurven a méi groussen Ausmooss.
Additionally, as I said earlier, the website builder and CMS are ultimately intended to make web design easier.
So it gets easier to use Webflow quickly, and the learning curve doesn’t last too long, thanks to both support and a good interface.
Ultimately there’s just a natural tradeoff that happens when you’re trying to develop websites with code, but without actually writing code.
Traffic limit
While most hosts and website builders will give a number as to how much traffic a given plan can support in a month, these are usually just estimates.
In fact, most companies will say explicitly that traffic numbers are not formal limits set by the plans, just an estimate of capacity.
Dëst ass net de Fall mat Webflow:
However, the limits are pretty reasonable proportionate to price, features, and performance.
Do I recommend WebFlow?
In this review I looked at a lot of pros and cons.
Wéi anerer Webflow does have few cons, but nothing that is a serious concern. At the end of the day, it’s clear there’s a lot more to like about Webflow than not.
Webflow bitt Pläng which would fit any website budget, any type of site, and a range of site requirements.
Whether you maintain a blog or informational site that requires an extensive CMS, or whether you just need the best one-page site ever–all the tools are there.
Its feature list, ease of usage, template collections, seamless editor and great customer support, are something which you just can’t miss, they stand out among website builders.
Éierlech gesot, Webflow may add some complexity its competitors don’t have, but it’s also the closest a site builder has come to giving users power of code in terms of what they can create.
If you are truly looking for a simple to use drag and drop editor which can create visually appealing site designs, then Webflow is a one-stop shop for that and much more.
But if this review sounds too good to be true, don’t take my word for it! The best way to find out if you like it…is to just try it!
Remember, you can make a site for FREE and only pay when you feel ready:
Hope this review was helpful to you.
Happy site building!
