Overall Satisfaction with Webflow

I was testing it out as a POC for an internally-built design system documentation site.

Pros

  • Templates
  • Pre-made designs
  • Relative ease

Cons

  • Pricing
  • Paid features
  • Too much manual work
  • 0% ROI
  • 100% Switched to Another Platform
Webflow is very easy to use for simple designs and has a bevy of free templates and themes for users to explore.
Webflow is a great replacement for simple websites like WIX & Squarespace. Webflow, in its current incarnation, will never be able to overtake the ubiquity of WordPress pages, it lacks the automation & tooling of Supernova, the design capabilities of Figma, and the design -> code of Framer. Its brightest future is probably as the future default WYSIWYG editor for GoDaddy sites.

Do you think Webflow delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Webflow's feature set?

No

Did Webflow live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Webflow go as expected?

No

Would you buy Webflow again?

No

I would recommend Webflow for use as a personal portfolio site or an MVP of a company marketing site but nothing more complex than those two use cases.
