What do you like best about the product?

Webflow is a tool that I think should be in the toolbox of every marketing professional, designer or developer.

If you are constantly working on campaigns and want a platform that you and your clients can easily and reliably edit, you have found the perfect tool.

You can build your sites in a fully user-friendly environment. If you've used any Adobe software before, it will look very similar.

If you're into design from the ground up, you'll find it easy to implement your ideas with the help of the instructional videos provided by webflow, which are fun as well as educational.

What do you dislike about the product?

Although more and more integrations are possible, if you want to build not just a landing page or a simpler business site, but a more complex ecommerce site, you can only do it in the US market natively at the moment. In the Hungarian market, which we know is a really small sample size and has very strict tax rules, we can not use it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It can significantly reduce our development time when we had a concrete design and an fully thought ou concept. It is much easier to work on projects as a team. It's much easier to edit content and you don't have to burden the development team with it.

What do you like best about the product?

I always compare Wordpress to using Canva--you get some pretty pre-designed templates, but are stuck working within those. Webflow is like using the entire Adobe Suite, where you have total control over every pixel of your website.

That doesn't guarantee that your website will look good, though. Much like how it is easy to create a sh***y Photoshop design if you don't know what you're doign, the same is true for Webflow. But the ability to make beauitful, functional, and fully customized designs is just something that's possible with Webflow and not with Wordpress (unless you use expensive custom developers).

What do you dislike about the product?

Their pricing structure is confusing to a lot of people at first--you need to have a site plan and an account plan, and both have different levels and prices.

Also, the biggest challenge I've faced as a marketer pitching that my companies switch to Webflow is the fear of vendor lock-in. But, that's the same issue you have when your business starts using Salesforce as a CRM, ActiveCampaigns for email automation, and Marketo for marketing automation. It's the nature of the beast, and self-hosted and custom-built tools just will never do as good as a job as specialized tools that are always improving.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our websites have historically been custom-built Wordpress themes where our designer creates beautiful designs, than an (incredibly expensive) outside agency builds the theme in wordpress. For any changes beyond swapping out images and copy, we needed to submit a ticket and wait days for the developers to make updates.

With Webflow, we were able to get rid of a $10k/month bill from our agency and now my team works direclty with our designer to bring her designs to life on our website. Need a new CTA button? Two minutes. Need a completely new layout for a landing page? I can build a landing page based off the design files in a matter of hours and on my own without dev resources!

What do you like best about the product?

Webflow is a very flexible and deep platform. The Webflow University makes it easy to guide yourself in building your dream website.

What do you dislike about the product?

Webflow is deep with extensive functionality so it can feel overwhelming at time, especially if you're a beginner.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to design and build a website that could scale with our company. So we needed to be able to quickly edit it in-house.

What do you like best about the product?

Using Webflow has significantly increased the speed of my website builds and given me access to functionality that otherwise requires a significant time investment. The community and available resources to learn and clone solutions are incredible. Webflow is one of the most valuable tools my business pays for!

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve is noticeable, but the resources to get up to speed are some of the best online. My biggest challenge is getting clients onboard with a "new" service they are unfamiliar with. Typically, clients are more familiar with other services and hesitant to commit to Webflow. More resources to help convert clients would be nice, even though the benefits often speak for themselves.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can now build more functional websites without investing time in custom code or navigating the drag-and-drop website builder solutions that restrict design and functionality.

What do you like best about the product?

We made the transition to Webflow a year ago and will never go back! For us, it put the control of our website's design into the hands of our Creative department vs having to go through developers for advanced builds. We are able to dream and build without the limitations of plugins, templates, and site themes. We also love that important things like SEO, open graph settings, and audit checks are all native to the Webflow platform.

What do you dislike about the product?

Webflow is still adding on features as users suggest them, but we have not faced any huge dislikes about this platform so far!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest one is the ability to give other users easy access to edit their websites through Webflow editor and specifically collections. Collections are a game changer!

What do you like best about the product?

Stellar website builder. Fun and easy way to build out a site (from basic landing pages to complex, multilayered behemoths).

What do you dislike about the product?

Webflow is easy to use for those familiar with digital tools, but people who haven't used other no-code platforms might find the interface and customization options overwhelming.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about the product?

Webflow's visual designer lets everyone see what is being produced in real-time. The content management system is also one of the greatest features of the tool.

What do you dislike about the product?

Occasionally Webflow will have a small bug on a certain feature or process which can become frustrating in the moment, however the team seems to remedy their bugs really quickly by constantly listening to customer feedback.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webflow allows my studio to create custom-designed websites for our clients. The versatile tool enables us to design without restriction on what we can achieve. Our clients also love using the software as they never have to worry about the design of their site.

What do you like best about the product?

Webflow gave me, a designer, the power to bring my website designs to life without having to conform to the templates and restrictions of other website builders. You have control over every aspect of the website and the amount of content that is out there by both the Webflow team and the community makes learning so much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is definitely a learning curve, especially for those without any prior HTML & CSS experience (NOT necessary, I personally was able to learn without this experience). Thankfully, there are many great learning resources, both paid and free. It can be frustrating at first, but it gets easier with time and practice!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Webflow allows me to quickly and consistently build whole sites, new pages, and content all on my own. As a designer, I don't have to worry about handing off my designs to a developer and waiting for them to get back to me. This saves my company and me so much time and opens up more opportunities to explore different ideas and less on execution.

What do you like best about the product?

Simplified CSS styling using the UI, high flexibility of animation, very easy and quick to implement and iterate design ideas. Updates and amendments are very easy and fast to make. The community is large and very helpful, its relatively easy to find a solution to a specific design issue since someone is bound to have ran into the same problem before. Webflow definately has a learning curve to it as a designer but the things you can create with it definately are worth the effort. Designs that were only possible to do with larger in house teams are within the reach of solo freelancers, so Im going to chalk it up as a pro instead of a con. The tutorials like the flex box game definately help and the videos are hillarious, someone give those guys (another) raise. I found myself just binge watching them instead of netflix.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some bugs are persisting even though they have been flagged for a long time by the community and continuously ignored by the developers. Pricing plans are overly complicated and hard to explain to a client that is not tech savy and dont have a background knowledge of industry jargon. Ecommerce needs more love and being able to set up custom payment processors besides paypal / stripe / apple pay. A lot of small businesses use other payment processors specific to their country and these rates are not viable. Breakpoints need to be expanded, 1080px being the largest is way too small where 1080 is basically the smallest resolution monitor you can get on the market. 2k and 4k are a must have in 2023. Better yet custom breakpoints should be available. It desperately needs multilanguage support (I understand it is in the works). Ecommerce emails are disastrously bad, cannot be customised besides some basic color styling and the product list is not properly padded. We need full HTML control over that. Some of the checkout fields need more options and custom fields, at the moment you can only add a custom string field and long string field. Regarding templates and #MadeInWebflow its decent but there needs to be a comment section that used to be there. I realise its not the most efficient way for someone providing templates to offer support but there needs to be a solution for some type of two-way conversation. On that note, the editor needs a lot more ways to debug your designs, the x-ray function is great, we would need something similar for the animation editor where things really get crazy and some of the interactions are not so easy to understand, maybe under the form of some type of simplified console where you can click an element under preview view and see what changes are applied to it, or possibly be able to reverse-search for animations by a specific element (click an element and see a list of interactions affecting it). Support for the platform is ok I guess, but I'm having trouble putting it down as a positive because its impossible to get in touch with a real person within a reasonable time in an agile environment and its only possible to get help regarding the most basic issues, if there is some bug with the editor like some images randomly resizing on screen without changing any of the CSS good luck having someone help you with it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to respond to design requests in fast paced agile environment. Clients want a website up and running in a matter of days but with more flexibility than a basic web builder like wiix or squarespace allow, we can achieve that with webflow. The CMS is simpler compared to wordpress which is very welcomed by our clients.

What do you like best about the product?

Maintenance is virtually non-existent. I can concentrate on design and build and making content updates, instead of updating plug-ins and themes. A perfect balance of no-code and code when and where I like.

What do you dislike about the product?

For the price, I would expect a better system of customer service, rather than depending on the community. That can take a considerable amount of time depending on the issue.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Constantly integrating new features, either native or through partners. Webflow takes a lot off my plate and allows me to do much more.
