Webflow is a website creation platform that allows you to design highly professional websites without coding. It is an ideal tool for those who want to maintain complete control over the design while generating clean, optimized code.
You can create a showcase website, a blog, a portfolio, or even a dynamic website with a database, all from a powerful visual interface.
Let's be totally clear, Webflow focuses on design and performance. Basically, Webflow lets you create a beautiful website that loads quickly (which is a big plus for search engines).
WordPress is more flexible thanks to its thousands of plugins, but often requires more maintenance. It is often said that WordPress is slower than Webflow... I would say: it depends! Because a well-optimized WordPress site built in FSE will also be very fast.
Shopify, on the other hand, specializes in e-commerce. If you're looking for a solution for a highly designed, fast website and don't need an ultra-complex e-commerce catalog, Webflow is an excellent choice. But for selling online or adding lots of features, WordPress or Shopify are still more suitable.
As I said, it depends. Webflow is coded to be lightweight. So even a developer who doesn't have much technical SEO knowledge can build a fast website. But it's possible to do the same thing with WordPress by creating the website in Full Site Editing (FSE).
Webflow automatically generates clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code without any unnecessary additions. As a result, sites are often faster and lighter than those made with WordPress, especially when the latter uses too many plugins or a poorly optimized theme. Everything is hosted on Webflow's infrastructure, which improves performance without you having to touch the technical side of things.
A no-code CMS, such as Webflow, allows you to create and manage a website without writing a single line of code. You build your site using a visual interface, while retaining dynamic features such as blog pages and project sheets.
It's perfect if you want to create a professional website without hiring a developer, while still maintaining control over the content. To be completely honest, you will still need the help of a developer or Webflow no-coder to create, design, and optimize your website. You can find these professionals above.
The Webflow tool allows you to create a website without coding, but to achieve a truly professional result, you need to have a good understanding of design, layout, and UI/UX principles. If you are a complete beginner, the interface may seem complex at first.
It's not a simple drag-and-drop tool like Wix. It's a powerful tool designed for designers who want to stay in control without relying on a developer.
The main reason is that Webflow lets you create a website that is beautiful, fast, and customized. You have complete control over the design without sacrificing performance. The code generated is clean, hosting is ultra-fast, and you don't have to manage updates or plugins.
It's an excellent solution if you want a high-end, fluid website with a real design logic behind it.
You can create showcase websites, blogs, portfolios, landing pages, institutional websites, and even e-commerce websites with Webflow. Thanks to its integrated CMS, you can also create dynamic structures such as project pages, testimonials, or articles, all managed from a simple interface for editing content.
Webflow offers an integrated e-commerce solution that allows you to sell physical or digital products. You can manage products, categories, payments, and even fully customize the design of the sales funnel. It's a good option for small to medium-sized stores, especially if design is at the heart of your project.
On Webflow, you can manage the layout pixel by pixel, use a dynamic CMS for your content (articles, projects, files, etc.), integrate complex animations and interactions, connect external tools such as Zapier or Stripe, add an e-commerce section, and benefit from fast and secure hosting.
The interface is designed for designers, with real control over UX and performance. As you can see, Webflow's main features are focused on design and technical SEO.
Webflow does not work with a plugin system like WordPress. However, you can integrate external scripts, widgets, or connect tools via integrations such as Zapier, Make, or Google Analytics. It's a different approach, lighter, but sometimes requires a little more technical know-how to get the most out of it.
The Webflow tool is clearly designed for this. You have control over every detail: layout, typography, spacing, interactions, hover effects, and more. It's one of the most powerful tools for custom design without coding. That's why it's so popular with UI/UX designers.
The CMS allows you to add animations and interaction effects directly in the interface, without having to touch the code. You can animate elements on scroll, on click, on screen appearance, and create very smooth transitions. It's perfect for bringing a site to life without the need for JavaScript.
Your site can be connected to many external tools such as Zapier, Stripe, Make, Google Analytics, or even CRMs and emailing platforms. This is super handy for automating certain tasks, managing payments, or tracking your site's performance without having to code.
The CMS offers all the options you need for good SEO: clean code structure, fast loading, customizable meta tags, titles, URLs, alt attributes, automatic sitemap generation, and more. You're in control, so you can optimize each page your way.
Webflow's prices vary depending on your needs. For a basic showcase website, expect to pay around $14 to $23 per month. If you add e-commerce, prices range from $29 to $212 per month depending on sales volume. There is also a free version to try out the tool, but it is limited in terms of features and domain name.
Webflow is not an open-source CMS. It is a proprietary solution, so you don't have access to the full source code as you do with WordPress. However, you can export your site's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code (excluding the CMS) if you want to host it elsewhere. It's a compromise between design freedom and technical simplicity.
Webflow hosting is included in the paid plans. It's fast, secure hosting based on AWS and Cloudflare servers. You don't have to configure anything: everything is done automatically, with excellent load times and an SSL certificate included. This is one of the big advantages of Webflow, especially if you want to avoid the technical side of things.
