Overall Satisfaction with Webflow

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 and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Better SEO so people find my page better organically.
Saving time for overworked staff.
A bit hard to use, so training interns to be able to do it isn't really a thing.

Usability

I like how Webflow looks and works, and it only continues to get better. When I first started using it, there were two editors that could be confusing. Now there is only one. Once you get used to where you need to look to find things, it also starts to get easier to use. I just think Webflow has a big learning curve because it is different than other tools.

Alternatives Considered

WordPress

Webflow is more comprehensive, so it is also a little bit harder to use. I selected Webflow because its component-based approach allows me to change content once, and it updates across multiple pages, which has saved me a significant amount of time. Sometimes, it can be challenging to locate the components, though.

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.

Comprehensive but with a learning curve.
