Webflow Reviews & Product Details

Webflow is by far the best web development tool I have ever used. It features a plug-and-play interface that makes it accessible for non-developers, while also being powerful and flexible enough for developers to fully customize, enhance, and optimize every project I work on.

I have very few complaints about Webflow. If I had to point out something, it would be that the platform used to be much more accessible for those without technical expertise. Now, it feels a bit more geared toward professionals, and some features are not as intuitive as they once were. Still, I wouldn't mention this unless someone specifically asked me to.

Webflow allows you to create professional, fast, and perfectly customized websites without writing a single line of code. I particularly like: - the total design freedom, far superior to WordPress + themes - the excellent loading speed thanks to the clean code generated - the simple access to all basic SEO settings (tags, Hn, ...) - the fluidity of creation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some points remain improvable:

- the learning curve is real if you are not familiar with design or UX

- the costs can quickly rise for complex or multi-site projects

- some simple features (like more advanced menus or certain conditional logics) still require custom code

- Moderately SEO-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Webflow allows me to tackle complex website functionality without needing a deep knowledge of coding. It behaves exactly like how code is written, which provides the structure I need while still being visually intuitive. I love that I can add custom code for additional functionality that Webflow doesn't natively support, enabling me to integrate different apps and create custom logic as needed. This flexibility significantly enhances my projects since I use Webflow to build websites for my clients. Its compatibility with tools like HubSpot, Google Analytics, GitHub, and Cloudflare also broadens its versatility. Overall, the ability to write code on top of Webflow's existing capabilities while maintaining the ease of a no-code platform is incredibly valuable to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the page branching feature on Webflow to be quite problematic. It is very slow, which significantly impacts my team's productivity and their ability to update multiple elements within a website efficiently. Also, some things do not work properly in page branches, such as Mapbox. Additionally, I'm frustrated by the lack of an offline app for Webflow, which would make it more convenient to update and save changes locally. Finally, the initial setup of Webflow was slightly tough for me at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Webflow allows me to make design updates easily without needing a robust knowledge of coding, which saves time and reduces back-and-forth with developers. I find it easier to design directly in Webflow compared to other platforms I've used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way to connect various collections together in Webflow is clunky. We have 3 separate CMS collections that all need to relate to each other, and it's not easy to connect them all without having to enter the same content in multiple places. I miss how easy it is to reorder things in Wordpress. In Webflow, I have to use weird hacks like putting a number field to adjust the order of items in a collection.

Webflow have been making some improvements in the AI space, as well as more integrations with elements such as schema mark up which was previously having to be done externally/manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still a bit of disconnect between key features/community and what's rolled out i.e. they're catering to the enterprise/top end as opposed to the 'little guy'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Webflow's CMS, it's really nice to use. The conditional visibility on a per-element basis is really powerful. I also appreciate that we're able to build a completely bespoke website for a client, which makes it easy to add and update content while shipping it as lightweight HTML.

I think Webflow could improve by scrapping all the old features from the product for new projects. There's a lot of things that don't get used anymore, and it's just bloated. It's not nice to look at them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Webflow is designed to be customizable and it's highly developer-friendly. Sometimes, we need to make custom designs, and it works well for that. Webflow also helps with interesting ideas I have with animations. I can insert custom code, plugins, or integrations, which gives me more control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Design from Figma to web could be a little bit easier. Framer is easier, and the Figma make is easier. And the AI could be a little bit better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the controls in Webflow because they make managing CSS rules much easier for me. The Flex Grid feature is particularly helpful since I don't use grid layouts often, and I tend to forget the rules. Webflow provides all the options right in front of me in the toolbar, which is incredibly convenient and speeds up my workflow significantly. This accessibility is very helpful, allowing me to quickly use features and tools without having to remember every detail. Webflow acts as a bridge between manually coding and using more visual tools, which is fantastic for getting into the granular aspects of web design. It's a great product overall, as it simplifies the process of creating specific website features that might otherwise require manual coding. I appreciate how easy the initial setup was, which made transitioning to the platform straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I initially faced challenges with Webflow's inability to open multiple pages simultaneously or have more than one person working on a project at the same time. This limitation hindered collaborative efforts and multitasking capabilities, although this issue appears to have been resolved recently. Additionally, while Webflow offers great granular control, in certain projects, I find myself thinking that WordPress could have been a more efficient option, suggesting that Webflow's advantages might not be universally applicable across all project types.

Webflow distinguishes itself with its scalability and collaborative capabilities. It enables our teams to collaborate smoothly, making it easy to manage dynamic content using Collections. This level of flexibility means that as projects expand, the platform evolves alongside them, maintaining both efficiency and control over design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Webflow is an excellent platform overall, I find that the legacy editor could offer more features for users with restricted access. It is missing some of the intuitive tools and flexibility available in the main Designer, which makes it more challenging for those without full permissions to update content efficiently.

I use Webflow for building and maintaining websites for both clients and my own portfolio. Webflow's ability to create production-ready websites efficiently is invaluable to me as a developer with a design background. I love having complete design freedom and control in a single environment without switching between different tools. The live preview feature is fantastic; it allows me to see changes instantly, which is incredibly useful for someone who is visually oriented. Webflow's capability to build complex interactions and animations without requiring JavaScript is a huge plus, as it simplifies my workflow. The GSAP integration is a game-changer, significantly easing the process of creating animations without dealing with codebase intricacies. The App Gen feature excites me as it promises to save me substantial time by allowing app development within Webflow itself. This integration means I spend less time juggling between platforms and more time focusing on development without external integrations. Adjusting interactions like timing, ease curves, and stagger elements is efficient and straightforward, enhancing my productivity immensely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have faced challenges with the CMS in Webflow. There are limitations like only displaying 20 CMS items per page and nested collections being limited to 5 items. Additionally, creating deeper relational structures requires external tools, and complex filtering, dynamic sorting, multi-level relationships, and app-like features often demand custom code or third-party plugins. Also, although the learning curve isn't steep, Webflow is not super beginner-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
