Webflow enables me and my team to work smarter
What do you like best about the product?
After using Webflow for years now, it has really been an excellent tool not only for empowering design within our company but also for improving the relationship between design, product, and engineering. It empowers all members of our team to experiment, contribute, and implement ideas—whether it's in the form of building a new marketing site for a product launch, spinning up a CMS blog, or rapid prototyping of desktop and mobile interfaces. I'll be carrying Webflow with me as a tool for all future roles and teams I may join, including personal projects too!
What do you dislike about the product?
Surprisingly little to critique about Webflow. It can be a bit tricky to get team members on board (meaning it's pretty easy for someone to break something!), but there are decent safeguards in place, like a specialized editor frontend and snapshots you can roll back to. Other than that, my only gripes are some repetitive tasks—like switching from project settings to the design editor in order to add custom, site-wide code or typefaces—and the lack of a way to transfer hosting to another project (e.g., redesigning an existing Webflow site from the ground up is a bit tedious)!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems in collaboration, prototyping, and empowering non-engineering team members to contribute to our web presence.

Web design & CMS that's a huge step in the right direction for designers, devs, marketers, editors
What do you like best about the product?
Webflow is a visually-based designer that behaves somewhat like Photoshop/InDesign. Its CMS capabilities (sorting, filtering, customizing content input fields, etc.) are just the beginning. The online university classes and video courses are far-reaching, informative, and funny. In a nutshell, Webflow blows away WordPress on every single component that I can think of in my 15+ years of experience working on and managing websites. WordPress is enormously buggy and unreliable and prone to frequent hacks, and Webflow is the opposite in all of those areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest complaint I have is this. Webflow's very active, vibrant, intelligent community of users, designers, and developers consistently offer great feedback and insights on the product on the Webflow forums/wishlists, and YET many of those feature requests/bugs have been ignored by Webflow for years (literally, years). Webflow needs to dedicate significant time and resources to make the SMALL things about Webflow work better for their end users. Things that come to mind are:
1. Forms: These need a lot of work to be effective and viable for marketers. Two major issues are a) you can't send form submission notification emails to unique sets of emails within your org, so you must resort to Zapier for this. b) Unsubscribe issue where any random person can immediately auto-unsubscribe literally everyone in your org from form notification emails. This issue is 4+ years old and is a huge pain. https://discourse.webflow.com/t/my-client-has-been-accidentally-unsubscribed-from-his-own-contact-form-email-notifications/170273/2
2. Anything that is not initially visible in the Webflow designer is extremely cumbersome to locate and edit easily (i.e. dropdown menus, hidden items that appear on scroll, timed animations or reveals of content, cookie notification banners, etc.)
3. Collections lists and items: Overall amazing, but needs upgrades. a) Duplicating anything with collection lists across pages is essentially impossible. You're always forced to start over with all the layers, settings, etc. in the Designer. b) Nested collections could be hugely powerful but are extremely limited at this time (only 5 items).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building websites and easily managing them for clients. SEO is pretty strong with Webflow. Ecommerce stores are fairly easy to build with Webflow. Training clients to do basic website updates in Editor mode is easy. Overall a great tool with tons of promise due to Webflow's low-code premise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
High learning curve for admins, but great for small to medium size teams of marketers who want easy ability to update website text and photos and add blog posts. I cannot recommend Webflow highly enough over WordPress due to WP's poor security, plugin nightmares, and cost of upkeep. Webflow still has a way to go in terms of eliminating constraints and lowering the learning curve and fixing various bugs, but in my experience this CMS is light years ahead of everyone else.
Webflow Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like their University videos, They are teaching Webflow with enjoyable and understandable language. I'm enjoying the class when I was in the video.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see an email campaign builder and custom email domain in Webflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My code knowledge is very low and I can't create my portfolio myself. I'm solving with Webflow.
Webflow changed the game for my business and for my clients
What do you like best about the product?
I love the CMS. Why it took so long for a web platform to build a CMS that's straightforward for both designers and clients to use is beyond me, but Webflow's is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside is the lack of more advanced features, such as form customizations (conditional forms). The interactions builder is also somewhat buggy sometimes. I also wish there were more hosting plans for power users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaborating with non-technical clients to create content quickly and efficiently is a breeze in Webflow.
Take matters to your own hand
What do you like best about the product?
Training videos are incredible. If you have a preliminary understanding of websites, you'll deliver something great yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure is a little hard. Hosting and projects might be a little confusing. Also, we need a better audit for publishing a project. Don't get me wrong, basics will get you a good website, but I think, having a great website (SEO, links, optimised images) is around the corner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many different programs which live on different websites, overall they are not really complicated, but Webflow gives us control. Also, our main website is always updated and publishing a change is really easy. With editors or collaborators, small bugs, typos can be gone in seconds.
Design a website without arguing with a developer!
What do you like best about the product?
1- Ease of use: I managed to learn it in almost ten days, via the UDEMY course and Webflow University, without zero knowledge of coding
2- Webflow University is very resourceful and easy to understand. And very creative and amusing.
3- The way it connects to PayPal without hassle
4- The fact that it is swift and respective

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I build a crowdfunding website to pre-sale our band's new album and could raise money.
Webflow is going from strength to strength
What do you like best about the product?
Webflow enables you to create custom websites fast. You get all the design flexibility you need to create unique interactive experiences on a system that just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the cost for individual team members quite high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Weblfow allows you to do more with fewer resources. It enables one to launch, iterate and evolve quicker than with traditional web development methods.
Highly Customizable Drag and Drop Builder
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Webflow has allowed me to launch my own business. The drag and drop interface is extremely easy to understand and customize, and I love having the ability to create custom interactions right in the interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Webflow does have some limitations that other builders don't have, and I frequently find that I have to pay for additional widgets in order to get functionality that you might have for free in Wordpress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webflow makes it easy for me to take an idea from concept to launch in an extremely quick amount of time. I've also realized that it's very easy to use other no-code solutions to create advanced integrations for my clients. This has allowed me to dramatically increase my revenue month over month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're interested in Web Design and Development but you're scared of learning how to code, Webflow is the tool for you!
Easy, clean, and affordable
What do you like best about the product?
Very customizable and easy to use. It's quick to pickup as a designer and I love that it offers a CMS
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes a little time to pickup and it isn't as customizeable to web standards as I would like.

Portfolio site
The Web Builder I've Been Looking For
What do you like best about the product?
The opportunities for customization are what drew me to Webflow and why I've never left. As a designer, I was able to build my portfolio and land a dream job in my favorite city with absolutely no coding experience. And if I ever need design help, Webflow offers an extensive catalogue of tutorials so I never feel stranded.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like I need a web design crash course to help me streamline my web building workflow. This is particularly relevant when I create new modules and neglect organizing the naming conventions. Additionally, I need some help standardizing web design across different device sizes (i.e. mobile, tablet) but after one year of Webflow, I already feel more confident. This has less to do with Webflow and more to do with web design in general.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary problem I am solving has to do with individuality and originality. Squarespace templates all look the same. I felt that my Squarespace site prevented recruiters and clients from seeing the real me. The benefit now that I've resolved this with Webflow is I have come to better understand my digital identity as a designer – if anything, Webflow has helped me discover this and refine it.
