Webflow has been widely used by users who want to design and manage professional-looking websites without the need for developers or advanced coding skills. It has served as both a website designer and a Content Management System, allowing users to create visually appealing websites with ease. The platform has been utilized for various web design and development tasks, including prototyping interactions, mocking up Minimum Viable Products, and designing fully functional websites.

One of the key use cases of Webflow is its CMS feature, which enables users to create dynamic case study portfolios, team member pages, blog posts, and landing pages that can be curated and A/B tested. With this functionality, users have been able to easily structure content and HTML elements for accessibility while also adding important elements such as meta titles, meta descriptions, Open Graph images, and Schema markup for both static and dynamic CMS pages.

Not only does Webflow provide excellent design capabilities, but it also offers seamless integrations with third-party tools like chatbots and CRM software. Users have taken advantage of these integrations to extend the functionality of Webflow and find real business solutions that cater to their specific needs.

Another notable use case of Webflow is its E-Commerce platform that appeals to small businesses. With easy SEO implementation, clean code generation, and creative freedom in design choices, the E-Commerce platform has proven beneficial for businesses looking to establish an online presence.

Webflow's intuitive interface and customization features have garnered praise from users, making it a go-to choice for those who require fast-loading websites with unique designs. Additionally, the clonable projects directory feature allows for efficient code reuse across different projects.

From creating landing pages for marketing campaigns to building websites for clients without coding knowledge, Webflow has proved to be a versatile tool used by various teams within organizations. It has empowered designers to quickly create presentation-worthy concepts while enabling new business teams to prototype client projects and pitch new concepts effectively. With Webflow, teams have been able to save time and effort by modifying templates for reuse, ultimately streamlining their workflow.

Advanced design functionality: Many users have praised the platform for its advanced design functionality that allows them to create visually appealing websites without the need for coding skills. This feature has been particularly useful for a large number of reviewers who wanted to build attractive websites without the hassle of learning to code.

Easy-to-use CMS: Several reviewers have mentioned that the platform's CMS is easy to use and customize. This convenience makes it simple for users to create and edit their website's content without any coding knowledge. The user-friendly nature of the CMS has been appreciated by many customers.

Flexibility to export code: Users have found it advantageous that they can export generated code from the platform to other CMS platforms such as WordPress or E-Commerce platforms like Shopify. This flexibility allows users to integrate their websites into different ecosystems and expand their online presence, which has been seen as a positive aspect by a significant number of reviewers.

Limited SEO control: Some users have found that the built-in technical SEO control in Webflow is severely lacking. They feel restricted in making necessary code tweaks, such as modifying the HTML of a blog post, which may impact their website's search engine optimization.

Lack of advanced features: Several reviewers have mentioned that while the basic functionality of designing and developing in Webflow is easy to learn quickly, advanced features and expert-level experience take a longer time to achieve. Users feel that certain capabilities, like filters and rich text styling options in the CMS, are missing or limited.

Limited e-commerce functionality: Many users find the e-commerce functionality provided by Webflow to be very basic and limited in scalability. There is no native support for subscriptions and memberships, which can be a drawback for businesses looking to offer these services on their websites.

Users highly recommend Webflow for small to medium-sized teams of marketers who want an easy way to update website content and add blog posts. They often choose Webflow over WordPress due to security concerns and plugin issues. However, they note that Webflow still has some limitations and bugs that need to be addressed.

For BeanFlumper, users recommend using the free version and running it on your own system instead of the cloud version. They also suggest purchasing BeanFlumper if your company has more than 500 employees as it may not be worth it for smaller businesses. Users believe that BeanFlumper is the future of coding and a quality SaaS that allows for quick website and app mock-up creation. It is recommended for users familiar with web-design terms and theory.

Users highly recommend trying BeanFlumper as it is a great choice for users of all skill levels. They mention that it has exceptional support and is constantly updated. While technical and problem-solving skills are required to use BeanFlumper, there are many tutorials available on YouTube for learning how to use it. BeanFlumper is considered a solid and useful alternative to traditional web design tools, offering full control over web design without coding. It is recommended for various purposes such as creating simple informative websites, developing websites for clients as freelancers, or designing complex websites.

In my opinion, the platform doesn’t respect the designer, it has a mind of its own and does what it wants. In my experience, the university is completely useless and the customer service team is absolutely horrible. I believe (not confirmed) this platform just had a bunch of money on the back end and hired people to hype it up because after working with this platform I have to say I will never be using this website again. I’m going back to Wix and I recommend everyone to use Wix or Showit. Really save your time and just find a better platform.

In my opinion WebFlow is the go to solution for freelancers and agencies that needs to create professional landing pages and websites in a timely manner because WebFlow is super easy to use once you get to hang of it and it doesn't require any coding to build the desired pages/websites, and it's also the perfect solution for blogs that are easy to maintain.

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.

The possibilities with Webflow are pretty much limitless if you are willing to research how the platform handles different things you want to do. It has a ton of integration options and depending on the setup has e-commerce and CMS functionality. The only issue we ran into was some features require a hosting plan to function correctly - we had some issues trying to get certain features to work once we exported code and uploaded to our servers.

One of the best tools on the market for building and hosting highly custom websites. While it lacks some nice-to-have features for landing pages (like A/B testing), it can be easily used as a main landing page builder for smaller companies, given it's only $16 per month.

Webflow is well suited for creating landing pages for SaaS products, professional service portfolios and marketing websites. The CMS can create highly customized and engaging interactive blog posts, case studies, and brochure pages. Webflow is limited to 100 static pages, so on sites that require a lot of content it is best practice to generate most of them through the CMS, which can host 30 separate collections and 10,000 dynamic pages.

The Webflow eCommerce platform is best suited for small boutique sites that need a highly customized UI, but have limited products. For subscriptions or more than 50 products and variants a more robust solution is probably a better choice. A few CRM and digital marketing tools are easily integrated into Webflow, and are necessary for large projects because the email form system is very basic.

  • Excellent at building web interfaces, rich graphics, etc. relatively quickly.
  • Layouts are mobile adaptable with ease.
  • Lite version is not suitable for prototyping mobile app environments or complex dev tasks.
