Overall Satisfaction with Webflow
We use Webflow to design and host our website and to manage our content, forms and landing pages.
Pros
- Easy website builder
- Intuitive
Cons
- The Content Management System needs improvement. In my experience, it's very difficult to organise all our content at big volumes. We want to create a resources section where we can categorize our content but there isn't an easy or intuitive way to do it
- In my opinion, it's incredibly difficult to create tables in an article
- You have to do custom coding for anchor links within an article and it's time consuming and, in my opinion, super annoying
- Website designs are not responsive we need to keep designing a separate mobile version
- Changes to the nav bar on the homepage do not reflect universally, we needed to do the same changes all over again for our blog and mobile
- Content editors need to keep logging in every time they add content
- Positive impact on brand image since we can create a good looking web design easily
- We have saved money because we didn't need to hire a web developer to design it
- We waste a lot of time with the CMS because it creates inefficiencies in formatting, publishing and organising content
In my opinion, Webflow has the worst CMS I have used. All the other tools make it much easier to write, format, publish and organize content. There's a lot more flexibility and they have better UX. I would not choose Webflow if given the choice, I would only use it if the choice was out of my hands.
