Webflow - great tool, great business, great community
What do you like best about the product?
The support from the community! The ease of use of using Webflow as a designer who also develops. It's a learning curve to get into it, but you always feel as thought you are well supported, both by the free training resources that Webflow University provides, but also by the community. For my clients, I also love the hassle-free simplicity of maintaining a site - not needing to run frequent updates or manual backups is heaven for my clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
The increasing costs and add-ons. I love Webflow but find it increasingly harder to sell to my current client base - they aren't huge hitters and a good portion of them are non-profits. They love the ease of use but having lots of pricey plugins overwhelms them (so we don't use them!). They would also struggle to justify the value of the plugins - eg. analytics - it's great for the bigger clients, and likely to provide a lot of value/save a lot of time having it there available inside of Webflow but when it comes to my smaller or charity clients, it's impossible to justify that spend - they just don't have the kind of disposable income that'd allow that kind of spend.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webflow solves the problem of the client having to manage a site in multiple places (eg. hosting, php, cms etc). Being all in one is what drives a lot of my clients to switch over (often from Wordpress, sometimes from Drupal).
