Webflow gives designers control over layout, typography, and interactions on a canvas, then exports a real site with semantic HTML and CSS rather than a proprietary runtime. It includes a CMS, e-commerce, and hosting with a CDN. The result is a marketing site that does not feel like a template.
Who it is for
A designer building a marketing site that must hold up to a code review.
Key features
- Visual CSS layout with real HTML output
- CMS collections with dynamic pages
- E-commerce with Stripe and PayPal
- Interactions and scroll animations
- Hosting with global CDN
- Free plan limited to two pages
Where it falls short
The learning curve is real because it exposes CSS concepts, and hosting pricing is not competitive with static hosts.
Pricing
Free Starter plan is limited to a webflow.io subdomain and two pages; site plans start around $14 a month, and CMS item limits plus form submissions are the gates.
