Webflow Review

Webflow gives designers full control over HTML, CSS, and JavaScript behavior through a visual interface. It produces clean, production-ready code and offers a powerful CMS, though the learning curve is significant.

Webflow is closer to a visual development environment than a traditional builder. CSS concepts like flexbox, grid, and positioning are exposed directly in the UI. Beginners need to understand web design fundamentals to use it effectively. Webflow University provides excellent free courses to bridge the gap.

Webflow produces some of the best-looking websites of any builder platform. The interactions engine enables complex animations, scroll effects, and micro-interactions without writing JavaScript. Design flexibility is virtually unlimited.

Webflow has separate site plans and workspace plans, which can be confusing. Site plans range from $18 to $49 per month. E-commerce plans range from $42 to $235 per month. The free plan allows two projects but requires a Webflow subdomain.

The visual CMS is powerful for blogs, portfolios, and dynamic content. Hosting is included with CDN delivery and automatic SSL. The interactions panel, logic system, and memberships feature set Webflow apart from simpler builders.

Webflow offers email support and a community forum. Response times can vary. Webflow University is an outstanding resource with video courses and documentation that rivals paid education platforms.
