Platforms that lets you have a professional no-code design even with free version

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was once using Webflow in earlier organisation, then discontinued it, and I have started using it again, for my masters thesis project at Akkodis. I have incorporated various interesting tools including Webflow. There are a lot of new features like redesigned UI with simplified color palette, layout controls and I can also use site locales, country combos and translation workflows for the German language, which broadens the site reach.

Pros

  • Many free templates to get some ideas flowing
  • Multilingual support, like translation workflows
  • Flexibility with respect to editing with edit mode to build sites efficiently
  • Better control over layouts
  • Variety of simplified color palette

Cons

  • I would say the learning curve for people who used older UI is a little confusing because of many changes
  • Like i said, more control has brought more complexity and has no simpler menus
  • I read that the legacy editor will be deprecated by end of 2025 which will be replaced by new ones that may or may not be free

Likelihood to Recommend

Since the purpose in my case is to build a small professional looking site to present project outcomes and other research, I can create custom fields and design experimentations. Webflow builds sites that are super professional, with many amazing templates that don't look cheap. Additionally, I can test responsive layouts. Apart from this, I used 1-2 static pages to illustrate key findings for example what a multilingual site could look like with screenshots without needing CMS in free version, which are all the valuable skills to acquire. Compared to WordPress, Webflow is expensive with limited free features, although it has really cool additional features that will make the site I build stand out.

Comprehensive but with a learning curve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Webflow to manage and upkeep the webpage for my organization. We previously used another service, but Webflow enabled more cohesive upkeep while reducing the need for double-entry of content. The CMS within the program allows me to make a change once, and it updates everywhere. It saves me a lot of time.

Pros

  • Saves time- because I don't have to do double entry of content.
  • It saves money. I like that it is an all-in-one system, so I don't have to host elsewhere.
  • Flexibility - Webflow provides me with a lot of flexibility in my webpage design, allowing me to adjust pages as needed, depending on the content types.

Cons

  • Not intuitive- I've used a lot of content systems, but this one had a huge learning curve.
  • Custom blocks don't allow for easy reusing across the site. I've accidentally changed content on other pages many times because I was trying to use a design element that was tied to something else.
  • Double not intuitive- it can be really challenging to find things.

Likelihood to Recommend

The good outweighs the bad. I love how my webpage works, and it fulfills everything that I was trying to accomplish. The ability to tag and distribute content across the site saves a lot of time and energy. I just wish that custom elements were easier to reuse across pages and that it weren't so hard to figure out. This tool is better suited for someone who knows what they are doing, rather than a beginner.

Webflow turns design concepts into functional websites in a breeze

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow as the website development platform for our client facing webpages. While Wordpress has been a mainstay, it leaves much to be desired: many design limitations, hosting hassles and plugins to work around. Webflow solves all of that for us in the same place. We use it for everything from standalone landing pages to CMS content.

Pros

  • Allows to output clean HTML code
  • CMS is easy to update content
  • Pixel perfect websites without much code

Cons

  • Mobile responsiveness requires manual breakpoint adjustments
  • Third-party plugins are limited when compared to Wordpress

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow offers a level of design customization that used to be only possible with code. Its snug fit with Figma's design workflow is what we love the most. With native export plugins and common component libraries between the two, design concepts from Figma turn into fully functional Webflow websites in no time. We only find it unsuitable for scenarios involving heavy database integrations.

An ideal CMS platform for design agencies and corporate marketers

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow as our primary CMS platform for developing websites for our clients. After years of doing traditional, custom code work, we adopted it for it's no/low-code capabilities. We're able to deliver the highest possible quality in a fraction of the time, and at a lower cost than we were previously able to. As a designer-led agency, Webflow has also been a crucial tool for delivering pixel-perfect front-ends and empowering our design team to experiment in new ways.

Pros

  • Webflow provides the best-in-class interface for building websites without the use of code.
  • It has a flexible and scalable CMS with page-building capabilities that clients and marketers love.
  • The built in SEO and optimize tools give marketers an all-in-one solution for building, deploying, and optimizing content.

Cons

  • Brand recognition is still behind WordPress, which can make it a challenging sell for clients looking to play it safe in their CMS decision.
  • The CMS is ideal for smaller datasets, but higher content sites introduce some minor challenges.
  • Alignment between designers and developers is key prior to implementation. The flexibility of the platform requires careful planning to avoid over-engineering.

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow is a game-changer for agencies who service a wide range of clients, and an ideal platform for organizations with strong marketing teams. When marketers need to react quickly to changing industry conditions, or the release of new products, they can leverage the platform to rapidly design and deploy landing pages and new website sections.

Webflow makes growing fast and easy.

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Webflow to develop websites for ourselves and for our clients. Webflow allows us to have a digital presence where we can communicate our brand.

Pros

  • Great for prototyping
  • Great CMS capabilities
  • Great visual web designer
  • Great marketing tool

Cons

  • Partners program should be free, and not so hard to enter.
  • Recent pricing changes should be simplified
  • Webflow should reduce the price of its bandwith pricing

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow, in my opinion, is the best web builder for companies aiming to grow significantly over time. Webflow allows you to start small but with many tools that will allow you to grow a business. Webflow's CMS and page building functionalities allows marketing teams to work seamlessly with the design and development teams.

In the other hand for small businesses that don't really have a budget for a fully functional website, Webflow tends to be too expensive, as there are more affordable options.

Easy lego-like no-code builder for websites

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've used it to build websites and landing pages for clients, all without coding through its easy no-code lego-like setup ✨ It not only lets you build beautiful custom designs but also gives you an easy to add interaction setup. Thus making the desired output quicker for both the client and us.

Pros

  • Lego like blocks to build or develop custom designs.
  • Easy to connect interactions panel
  • Easy basic SEO setup

Cons

  • Webflow mobile App for on the go content edits
  • Ability to limit CMS variably across breakpoints
  • Advanced slider

Likelihood to Recommend

It is totally excellent for landing pages and websites, especially when you are looking for something custom, yet quick!✨ It is less appropriate for websites that need user accounts, as it is has discontinued this feature recently. External plugins are available but that is just an added cost.

Best option for simple visual websites

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Webflow is our primary tool for websites requiring more than a landing page and no direct integration with a database app like Airtable. We love its CMS features for our blog and selling digital products. It offers the perfect balance of a GUI and developer accommodations.

Pros

  • Websites focused on visuals rather than heavy technical functionality
  • Blog management
  • E-commerce for digital products

Cons

  • User management
  • Better organization of classes (styles)
  • More control of subscription sold as digital product

Likelihood to Recommend

Webflow is well suited for sites focused on appearance over heavy technological needs. It's blog and e-commerce features. For sites needing to integrate with database apps or host user accounts, it's not a great option.

We Love Webflow

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a web agency that builds elegant and high-performing websites for various clients in the Pacific Northwest. Webflow is our preferred platform because it allows our team to create beautiful websites without sacrificing functionality and user experience. Often, we bring clients on who are frustrated with their current website provider, and in general, all of our clients have been very happy with the switch.

Pros

  • Customer Support - you can email them and a real human will respond in 24 hours
  • Launching New Features - Webflow is always working on something and it's great to see them answering the requests of their users.
  • Partnerships - Webflow partners with a lot of incredible businesses that make integrations a breeze.

Cons

  • Building for smaller businesses - a lot of Webflow's decisions are made with large businesses in mind which sometimes is not attainable for smaller businesses
  • Since Webflow is a newer tool, there's still a lot of growth to be done

Likelihood to Recommend

I've worked with many website-building platforms, and I genuinely believe that Webflow is the superior option. It's abilities are bar none compared to other tools out there. It is more of a learning curve when compared to a drag-and-drop builder. Still, the Webflow University education platform is unmatched and allows anyone to get the hang of Webflow development.
