What is Webflow?
Webflow is a visual website builder that produces clean, custom-coded sites without needing a developer for every change.
Key benefits:
- Fast load speeds
- No plugins to maintain
- Easy for clients to edit content

According to Webflow's own data, over 3.5 million designers and teams use the platform globally.

- Marketing teams that need to update content regularly
- Companies that have outgrown template builders like Wix or Squarespace
Who should NOT use Webflow?
- Complex eCommerce stores (Shopify is better)
- Businesses needing heavy custom functionality
- Anyone who wants the cheapest option possible
What to look for in a Webflow agency
1. Webflow Partner status
Webflow has an official Partner Program. Agencies listed here have been vetted and trained directly by Webflow.
2. A strong Webflow portfolio
Ask to see live Webflow sites they've built — not mockups.
3. CMS setup experience
Webflow's CMS is powerful but needs to be set up correctly. Ask how they structure content for clients.
4. Hosting and handover process
Will they hand the site over to you? Will you be able to edit it yourself? Get this in writing.
