Read full review Webflow is great for designing pages and creating a really nice looking website, without needing to be a pro designer. However, trying to scale a company blog for SEO leaves a lot of room for desire. There are various SEO-related shortcomings (like how canonical tags are added to pages) and I also need to add a lot of custom code elements to blog posts to get the desired control. This means adding new posts and getting them looking the way we want takes way more time than it should do. Also doesn't support next-gen images, which is impacting our page speed scores and leaving us behind when it comes to Core Web Vitals update. Finally, the fact that only one person can enter the designer at one time is really annoying. I get that the Editor should be the solution to this, but it's so so so slow and jumpy that this is essentially unusable.
Read full review Pros Advanced designing features and using these advanced features very easily e.g. Bootstrap 3 support that makes flawless responsive templates. Encapsulated all the major designing trends with respect to particular CMS. Optimized code is produced for every theme/template as such the coding standards are perfectly followed by this software. All WordPress themes made with this software pass the Theme Check test. Because of W3C compliance it ensures consistency of websites over the web. HTML5 and CSS3 also ensure better look of designs on small screens. Apart from making web templates, one can make full fledged websites too. TemplateToaster allows making static websites with YouTube video inclusion. It has inbuilt FTP, so that user can easily move its website to the server. An amazing and exclusive feature it provides is the option to draw custom widget/module/ block area. Read full review Easy to use and customize CMS. Develop engaging CSS interactions and JavaScript animations visually. Several competitively priced hosting tiers are available and all use AWS servers and Fastly CDN. Code can be exported to be used with other CMS platforms such as WordPress, or E-Commerce platforms such as Shopify. Read full review Cons It is not available for MAC operating system. Read full review pricing is a little high pretty steep learning curve have to use 3rd party form vendor if you want to export and host yourself Read full review Usability It is extremely easy to use, especially with available templates and guides. It is used primarily by accounts and creative rather than dev. It is also easy to import/export projects or duplicate them for re-use and modification for another client. While it is rarely the end platform for a deliverable, it is often instrumental in pitching.
Read full review Reliability and Availability In my experience, their customer service is an absolute joke, I tried reaching out to them they took forever. I had to keep following up with them as if they never received it in the first place. It’s a new platform, so guidance is needed. Tried the university they offer, in my opinion, it is completely useless, I would just completely move on from this website.
Read full review Performance In my opinion, it is horrible, the rendering takes forever. I have the newest MacBook and the platform will still lag and slow down on me. I’m not a developer, I am a designer which makes it worst because I am using the features they are providing not extra coding features. In my opinion, it is a horrible platform really, stay away.
Read full review Support Rating We pay hundreds of dollars a month to Webflow, yet their support is worse than a typical free SaaS product. We were prevented from deploying changes to our site because of how Webflow structures its support. It delayed a product launch for the whole company. Support options? Beg for help on community forums, it took a threat to email the CEO to finally get movement. If there were easy alternatives, we would switch. But for now we just pray nothing breaks and that we don't need to interact with Webflow support.
Read full review Alternatives Considered No, I never used any other similar software, its completely a new experience
Read full review The code quality and speed can't even be compared to
Elementor ; Webflow is simply a much better tool.
Instapage has a cool feature for dynamic landing pages, which changes according to Google Ads Keyword, which I miss; however, amazing webflow community members recreated that functionality with a custom script. For the majority of users, it's a safer bet than
WordPress in terms of speed and code quality.
WordPress could provide amazing results if hosted properly (nginx, caching configuration) and requires best practices to maintain code quality. Webflow solves these issues out of the box at a fraction of cost.
Read full review Scalability I feel it doesn’t perform the way it’s supposed to and it doesn’t have any beneficial factors to it. In my opinion, there is no reason to use a platform like this when
Wix and Shopify, and WordPress exist. I believe Webflow is a platform that shouldn’t exist and it’s only popular because of the hype it received. I tried it and hate it completely.
Read full review Return on Investment TemplateToaster returns full value of money. It helps in finishing my projects ahead of time, hence I can finish more projects in less time. In other words, it helps in increasing my efficiency, which brings monetary benefits to me. Read full review It allowed us to go from earning hundreds to thousands We were able to expand our services The only negative would be that we cannot really use it as a Shopify substitute yet, nor a big blog site.
