Design in the browser easily
What do you like best about the product?
Webflow's user interface is very similar to Photoshop so it's an easy transition for designers with basic HTML and CSS web knowledge to make.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with divs and containers can sometimes be cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Webflow to mockup basic wireframes and test them. It's been helpful for us and clients to visualize them on sites and devices.
Easy to build websites
What do you like best about the product?
It is a fast way to build websites without knowing too much coding; but it is also helpful to learn web coding.
What do you dislike about the product?
For beginners, they need to take some tutoirals to understand different containers, and then they can build websites properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
web design and development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Imrove the UI.
Webflow is Almost the Perfect Web Design Software
What do you like best about the product?
The great thing about Webflow is it is perhaps one of smartest layouts I have ever seen for web design software. It is easy to do just about anything from animations to simple div formatting. It also, in my opinion, has about the lowest learning curve out there (with an exception being Muse). But, what I really love about Webflow is how quickly we can get a website built, and how easy it is to go behind others and make changes.
I also love how powerful it is - without sacrificing its simplicity in use.

What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with Webflow is their pricing model and their attempt to monopolize your business. In addition to this, they haven't always been very good with communicating changes to accounts and other features. For instance, we have a lot of clients that pay us for Online Advertising. Using Webflow for landing pages was great. But, then they made a decision that their forms weren't going to work if the code was exported and hosted elsewhere. This resulted in us missing out on hundreds and hundreds of leads for our clients because we weren't made aware the forms stopped working.
Now, that's not to say that they didn't own up to their mistake They did. And that is great and worth considering.
But, the other issue I have is that they want you to build and host on their website. And they do give you the ability to invoice your clients from their site (with white labeling), but this kind of makes everything we do dependent on their platform. I also take issue with this because all of our clients are on our own fast servers. Why pay Webflow to host when we have servers already? Furthermore, why limit the capabilities of websites that are hosted elsewhere? In this sense, I think they are targeting the "amateur" web designers and not the pros.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Webflow to quickly prototype a website. It makes for quick work and from a speed standpoint - prototyping a website on Webflow can be quicker than doing a traditional wireframe.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Webflow offers a free plan which would be great for anyone wanting to try it out. I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love with Webflow.
Webflow Web Designer Review
What do you like best about the product?
The quick ability to design landing pages in a responsive format.
What do you dislike about the product?
CSS style sheets are not compiled. Instead of breaking out each style, combine them to make it easier to search and manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and easy implementation of code. I am also able to focus on layout and interactions and not on if it's fully responsive or not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compile the CSS when exported.
Easy to use, but limited functionality
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy webflows ease of use and simple simple interface. They also have helpful customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times webflow can be glich-ey, and they have limited functionality, for example, posting downloadable files such as pdfs, onto their websites need to be hosted somewhere else such as dropbox, which is a hassle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Webflow is a great resource for creating simpler one page sites and landing pages.
Easy to use responsive design
What do you like best about the product?
Ease and speed of use make this product great
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations in what you are able to hard code
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can quickly mock up sites and show different screen sizes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Practice, practice, practice
Like desktop design software for the web
What do you like best about the product?
Super intuitive UI, builds clean code, built for designers
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't used it enough to find anything I don't like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving away from Wordpress. Very much looking forward to not having to use dozens of plugins anymore.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's everything you want from a WYSIWYG website builder, and more. I love that it produces clean, usable code.
Great tool for high fidelity prototypes
What do you like best about the product?
Quickly able to design a beautiful interface in a short amount of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve if you are new to development.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many times we need to build a high fidelity prototype, fast and this tool really helps us get there and leaves our clients saying 'wow!'
Hit and Sometimes Miss
What do you like best about the product?
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Webflow. As a designer, I LOVE that the interface allows me to create websites without requiring me to write code (my coding skills are more basic).
That said, saying that Webflow requires no coding is a bit of a misnomer. True, you don't have to code or know code to use Webflow, but if you don't have a pretty solid understanding of HTML5/CSS/structure/lingo, you're going to be, frankly, screwed. Sure, you can go into the interface, and with only minimal review of their info materials (eg. tutorials), create a website from scratch. But, if you don't know what you're doing (eg. say, you typically do graphic design and work with Adobe photoshop or InDesign) - you'll be duped into thinking the beautiful site you made (that looks great on your screen) will look just like it looks on your screen everywhere else - and you'll be WRONG. I had to spend a lot of time really learning about how to use px vs. % vs. VH vs. em's and things like that to really be able to make my websites responsive. Now, that said, they really do have a TON of tutorials and videos and webinars out there to help you, so if you are willing to put in the time, you can learn what you need to know. One of my favourite features is that you can go into the editor of other sites and see how they are built. It's a really cool way to learn more (in a reverse engineering kind of way). I really, really love this feature and appreciate that they decided to make this available.
The bit of "hate" part of my relationship with Webflow stems from 2 things: the time required to really learn the system (to find some of the subtle design techniques that are really critical to responsiveness, you have to hunt and peck - there's no one tool I found that really goes into this in detail from A to Z), as well as some issues I've had with their support. But I've updated that part of my review (see below). All in all, I don't see myself not using Webflow anytime soon. It's one of those situations where you have to take a bit of bad with the good, because it's worth it.

What do you dislike about the product?
This is an update... I'd had an experience with support where I hadn't gotten a response to an issue for some time (and if you read on the forums, you'll see I'm not alone in that experience). However, I was able to get through to them via an alternate route, and from that point on, it was like I was a VIP. They were really timely with their responses, and I had a fantastic phone conversation with support - which was uber helpful (and uncovered a bug on their end which may have been impacting other users). So, I'm going to recommend them more strongly, but with the caveat that customer service can be an issue (I was told they are hiring more people, so this may be alleviated soon), so you just have to be persistent and try reaching out by other means if at first you don't succeed with the support email.
One other important point: they have had a lot of changes in pricing structure in the past year which has upset the community (see many forum posts) and left designers hanging about future price changes/competitiveness of using the platform. I don't do web design full-time, but I understand why this is a significant issue. In fact, I just built a website for a company who is most likely not going to host with webflow because of the high price. It's still a great platform, and it's easy to export static sites, but if you're going with CMS, then just know your clients will be paying a more premium price.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great tool to make custom websites from scratch. It's not "idiot proof" like Wix or other web editors, but there's a lot you can do with Webflow that you can't do with those if you take the time to learn it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch out for the pricing changes that are going on now. Webflow used to be $5 for hosting a static site, and $10 for CMS. They went through several changes last year - to both designer plans and hosting - and are set to increase hosting in April: static site for $12 and CMS for $20. That puts them above industry competition (eg. hosting a WP site on Blue Host or other hosting platform). While you can always export your code and host yourself, that obviously won't work with sites that are CMS. Just a heads up.
Webflow Review
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy that Webflow is a visual representation of coding. I've used a few other in browser editors like Wix and SquareSpace but I think Webflow hits a good spot of being extremely flexible while still being closely tied to actual code.
I think it's a really great solution for web designers because of the ability to host through webflow and charge the client as necessary. It's flexible enough that depending how much the client needs from me I can reflect that through the bill that goes through Webflow.
I think the UI is really great as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
For those who are unfamiliar with HTML and CSS this will have a difficult learning curve. The tutorials that Webflow has put together aren't the worst but they aren't my favorite either.
I haven't found a great way to do ecommerce through Webflow yet but there may be a some ways I'm just don't know about.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been building some very simple websites or landing pages. It's a great way to create something unique in a world full of templates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to build very simple sites Webflow is a great way to get into front end work visually. I think it's definitely a more face value editor that has similar capabilities as Square Space or Wix. If you are looking at getting into Webflow make sure you are already familiar with HTML and CSS.
