Webflow is a no-code/low-code platform for building professional websites. Unlike more simplistic tools (Wix, Squarespace), Webflow offers full code-level control (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) via a visual interface.
Key features
- Visual editor — full CSS control through a drag-and-drop interface. Result: clean code, not generated spaghetti.
- Animations & Interactions — a scroll/hover/click animation timeline, no code required.
- CMS Collections — a built-in database for posts, projects, products. Every item powers a dynamic page.
- Ecommerce — full store with payments, order manager, taxes.
- Hosting — fast hosting on AWS CloudFront in a global CDN.
- Built-in SEO — meta tags, sitemap, schema markup, redirects.
Webflow is great for designing complex landing pages, agency corporate sites, portfolios with a CMS and blogs with a unique look. It's particularly popular in the designer community for people who don't want to depend on developers for every small change.
Limitations: lower performance than custom Next.js, less flexibility for complex backend integrations, and relatively high hosting costs on large sites.
Pricing: Site plans from $14 per month, Workspace plans for agencies managing multiple sites.
