Simple, but limited
What do you like best about the product?
The editor side of Webflow is basic, intuitive, and simple to use. If you are simply the "content editor," it's a no-code solution for your basic needs. You should be able to breeze through daily tasks (text/image updates and page adds) with no dev team need.
What do you dislike about the product?
BUT (and there is always a but), you're gonna run into some snags:
- The log-in is trashola on the "webflow.io" page. Like, if you lose that log in link, it's gonna be a bad time. Our editor team had to sign in from the join link for the first 3 months of usage because the "edit" arrow was hidden behind the Intercom chat. We only fixed this by blocking Intercom on our personal IP addresses.
- In the Blog editor, there are two "image" fields. Rather than removing the dead one, it simply says "DON'T USE THIS." -___- Poor design.
-Grammarly doesn't work with the text editor. Is it a deal breaker? No. Would it make my life easier? Yes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Weblow is what we use to design our website. Simple, allows for non-dev members to maintain the public site, manageable turn around, easy way to schedule and post updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are two roles: a designer and an editor. The designer will be a dev team member; someone with programming knowledge. An editor can be another who can type. It's fairly plug-n-play once your dev team has built it.

Best platform to design websites
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy the interface is to use, plus I really like how I can implement custom code as a lot of other platform out there are purely based on customisable templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see more of a richer ecosystem to be able to have plugins readily available for any tools I use across a website
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webflow rapidly reduces the time between designing a website and implementing the code.
Best Web Design Platform for Non-Coders
What do you like best about the product?
Webflow truly allows you to design websites to your heart's content. The best part is the catalog of instructional videos that help you accomplish whatever you need. I cannot code so I appreciate how Webflow empowers me to design freely. The Webflow community is extremely helpful and encouraging and I value the showcase of sites which help get the gears turning.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took me several months to finally feel comfortable using Webflow since I'm new to web design. The web building features differ greatly from previous sites I sampled. But with time and lots of tutorials, I found my way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webflow allows me to build a custom site from scratch with zero coding experience. The customization has landed me interviews and jobs in the creative industry since my portfolio stands out among the other applicants.
Helps people who can't code create professional-looking websites
What do you like best about the product?
With the use of some great templates, Webflow has allowed me to build and edit professional-looking websites that impress my clients. Although I’m not a designer or developer, I find that pages and sites built with Webflow look better than ones built with WordPress and other builders.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to creating new page designs, but it’s pretty straightforward. I find the editor a bit clunky and sometimes there are issues with font sizes and spacing. Nothing huge, just annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and editing websites for my company and for my clients. It also allows us to quickly duplicate existing templates.
The easiest, quickest way to design and build professional websites
What do you like best about the product?
Although Webflow requires some basic knowledge in coding, getting started with a template and customizing it is my preferred way of kicking off a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Starting with a blank slate could be challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rapidly designing professional-looking websites. Bridging the gap between design and code.
A stellar tool, whether it be for production level work or even just for alignment.
What do you like best about the product?
I use Webflow for a bunch of different use-cases. I often utilize it for client work, but also use it at my corporate job as a designer + dev alignment tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were some better integrations with external platforms—such as exporting code in a way that can seamlessly work with prebuilt systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team alignment and handoff issues are virtually nonexistent now.
Great, but still has annoying things
What do you like best about the product?
Love how easy it is to design websites/pages to a high level. Also really easy to scale stuff with the collections feature. Really is a great product for all things web design, without needing to know how to code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Things have definitely improved since I've started using (and reviewing) Webflow. But, as a content manager trying to scale a company blog, there are still some big fallbacks—particularly when it comes to SEO. No next-gen image support. Can't add writers with restricted permissions access like in WordPress. Webflow is fantastic for design, but still lacks when it comes to blog/content management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing a great looking website without needing to code or hire and wait on developers. We can quickly roll out changes as and when needed. Also not restricted to a theme, etc. like in WordPress.
Amazing web development website
What do you like best about the product?
The web app's user experience is really well done as it is well designed and organized. All of the elements on the website are easily accessible, and this website takes web development to another level.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard for beginners to learn how to use Webflow to develop websites at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developing websites for clients using Webflow. Since I know how to use Webflow, it makes my life so much easier. This is far the best software I have come across for website development.
Best CMS platform out there
What do you like best about the product?
Webflow has allowed us to take design into reality and create a stunning website from beautifully branded materials. Their CMS platform is really dynamic and allows for the marketing team to upload assets and blogs very quickly. Instead of creating a new page every time for a blog, the dynamic CMS allows for us to build fields and upload information to each field, automatically creating each page. Easily integrate apps into websites, most times "no-code is needed".
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not a platform for everyone and must have a developer that knows the ins and outs of Webflow. It's not enough for a developer to know HTML, CSS, and JS, it is important that they are knowledgeable on the system to create the best possible CMS system for multiple uses. Also it is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Was able to create a commercial hub for a software website with forms and other apps. Easily explaining all the different features of our software, and we are able to include a careers page, blogs etc.
Use it if you have significant website development skills
What do you like best about the product?
It's not very expensive and I believe it's a month-to-month payment, which is nice to not be locked in.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't have multiple users logged in at the same time so people are always getting kicked out, if you aren't a skilled web development person it's extremely confusing to use. It doesn't integrate with Marketo which is a huge pain in the butt. I wouldn't sign up for this again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to host our marketing site. I haven't seen any significant benefits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get input from multiple people at the organization. Everyone should be familiar with the capabilities. Also, get training if possible from their team! They have a lot of online resources but they aren't always up to date.
