As a daily tool I continue to enjoy building websites in Webflow. Through it I've been able to take my designs in Figma and develop them with ease in Webflow. It's truly become a professional visual web development tool that's taught me more about the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JS that any other website builder. Also, there's pretty much no limitations of what you can create given custom code being inserted anywhere. Oh, and the CMS features and powers in Webflow is unbeatable.

The performance is lacking unfortunately. Now, please know the Webflow team is very active and responsive in the community which is a huge plus but reliability needs to be improved. Also there are bugs in Webflow that have existed since I started using it in 2018. Sadly, it feels like many making decisions on what to focus on for Webflow aren't an actual user of Webflow. More dogfooding would be my recommendation as they'd quickly realize performance and reliability is an area for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's really a world-class website builder that couldn't have been imagined a few years ago. As a platform it's made recent strides such as Tokens that brings Webflow's model of creation closer to the reality of web development, which makes it an easier sell and integrates with other existing design systems or assets. I don't even prototype or design in Figma, I just go directly into Webflow such is my level of dexterity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They do change their minds a lot as a platform. Seat pricing for one seems to be always shifting and requires juggling of users. There are also a few semi-basic features which are not yet on the platform (unknown reason) — such as inability to nest CMS's (which is huge for blogs, video repositories, events to be shown on websites). And in general, unless if you are an enterprise customer, support is not great. You are forced to use community-sourced forums which are often poorly maintained or don't resolve issues.

The versatility in its design features allows you to control and design every element on the page as if you are coding it by hand, but visually. It makes it very easy to quickly make and publish design changes without needing background maintenance support that you would otherwise need with custom servers.

Their pricing structure can be very confusing and steep. Certain plans have very bad limits which can makes any plans shorter of the Business Plan useless for any medium to high traffic websites. Additionally, their pricing has been very unpredictable recently as prices and features constantly move around between different pricing tiers and plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a great balance between control, visual design and hard coding. We are enterprise level and the support team is awesome. We use it daily. The A/B testing elements built into Webflow is super easy and very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Advanced coding interferes with the visual designer making it somewhat more complex and appears to break the designer. For example if you use advanced animation, effects etc. Essentially once you go off of Webflow native code, the visual designer starts to appear a bit wonky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the biggest upsides of Webflow is that you don’t need to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to get started. It’s a highly useful tool for designers. Webflow also offers excellent learning resources through Webflow University, which are especially helpful for beginners.
Some underrated features include:
- The ability to publish CMS items without publishing the entire site.
- The option to utilize custom attributes to target specific elements.
- Automated backups with a long history.
- Additionally, Webflow supports a wide range of tool integrations, making it even more versatile.
Another highlight is Webflow’s support team, which is responsive and helpful. They provide clear solutions and even follow up to ensure your issue is fully resolved. Additionally, Webflow has a large and active community on the Webflow Forum and Reddit, where users share insights, troubleshoot issues, and offer best practices.

One of the biggest downsides is the pricing. Webflow has a relatively high cost if you want to launch a website. As a developer, there are some frustrating aspects of Webflow, but they’re not major issues, for example, it occasionally crashes for no apparent reason. Sometimes, you need to reload the page to make edits to content. It also has some underdeveloped features, like E-commerce, which aren’t very useful for larger websites.

I've used Webflow and I liked it so much that I'm considering not taking on anymore WP projects in the future. Webflow is a great tool for building 98% of the website without having to touch code. You just might sometimes get that 2% where you need a bit of code to get the result you want. Good autosave, backup and version history features are built into the platform. It’s easy to build, style and reuse forms in Webflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is the only part that makes it difficult for me to switch over to it 100%. Also, there’s no Yoast-style SEO plugin for Webflow available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Webflow is an excellent platform for quickly building layouts and UI without sacrificing design control. One of the things I appreciate the most is its SEO management, which makes it easy to optimize websites without relying on additional tools.
The platform keeps improving with new features constantly being added, making it more powerful and versatile every day. It also integrates seamlessly with third-party apps and even with React, allowing for extended functionality when needed.
Another great advantage is version control, which provides flexibility and security when making changes. If you have a background in design and CSS, the learning curve is quite smooth, as Webflow aligns well with traditional front-end principles.
Additionally, Webflow has a strong and active community of users who share knowledge, tutorials, and best practices. Their customer support is also reliable and responsive, helping users troubleshoot issues efficiently.
Overall, Webflow is a solid choice for designers and developers looking for a no-code/low-code solution without compromising on customization and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webflow has completely changed the way I design websites. As someone who isn’t a full-time developer, I love how it gives me full creative control without needing to write code. The interface is intuitive, the CMS is powerful, and the hosting is rock-solid. It’s the perfect blend of design freedom and technical reliability. Highly recommend it for designers who want more control over their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some advanced features, like user authentication or complex logic, require third-party integrations or workarounds. Also, pricing can add up quickly, especially for projects with multiple sites or clients. Lastly, eCommerce functionality is somewhat limited compared to platforms like Shopify.

- I would 100% recommend Webflow to anyone looking for a powerful no-code platform that doesn’t sacrifice performance, flexibility, or design control.
- Webflow makes technical SEO so much easier with clean HTML structure, auto-generated sitemaps, customizable meta tags, canonical tags, and easy 301 redirects. Unlike other platforms, I don’t have to install multiple plugins to ensure my sites are SEO-optimized from the ground up.
- The dynamic CMS is intuitive, making it easy for clients to manage their content without needing a developer.
- Unlike traditional CMS platforms, Webflow allows us to craft fully custom designs with pixel-perfect accuracy.
- Whether it's Zapier, Mailchimp, or analytics tools, Webflow makes it incredibly easy to integrate with external tools.
- Great Customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- While Webflow is intuitive for designers and developers, beginners might need some time to get comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've worked with every CMS under the sun, and nothing gets closed to Webflow in term of speed for making changes to your website (without a dev!). There is a slight learning curve at first (you need to understand some basic principles of design - thankfully they have an amazing library of video tutorials), but once mastered, you can make changes in mere seconds.
There is also very few limitations in terms of what you can build. Any design you can think of is doable on Webflow. There are tons of options to make your website look and act the way you want, while remaining easy enough to use.
Customer support (enterprise) is great - all done through email, I get answers within an hour or so with clear explanation or videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There a few elements that require some custom codes that should frankly exist out of the box, such as tables, nice carousels, etc Thankfully there are solutions (Finsweet.com) that nicely fits that niche for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
