6 Reasons Why You Should Consider Building Your Website in Webflow

1. Productivity

In the past, our team built numerous WordPress websites. We have gained a great deal of expertise in this platform and have launched a number of impressive sites with complex structures and custom connections. While many of these projects have been profitable, we have also experienced instances where we were not efficient enough and ended up losing money, even with decent budgets. Simple changes to the site could sometimes become a nightmare, as they could cause conflicts with installed plugins or generate uncontrolled style classes. This was frustrating not only for us, but also for our clients, as our senior developers had to invest a significant amount of time to resolve these issues. Overall, working with WordPress was not always an enjoyable experience.

Webflow has greatly improved our development process. Its clean and minimal code, real-time frontend editor, and ability to complete tasks faster has increased profits and made clients happy. Even those without developer knowledge can make small content changes using the editor, while developers can focus on more advanced tasks. It's a win-win for all.

2. Hosting

Webflow has teamed up with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide high-speed and reliable hosting in the cloud. To deliver content quickly, they use Fastly and Amazon Cloudfront and load websites with HTTP/2 through over 100 datacenters. AWS, the largest cloud provider worldwide, offers secure and scalable servers, so you don't have to worry about hardware maintenance or replacements. This ensures the best and fastest result possible for your website.

3. Advanced CMS

Webflow's advanced content management system (CMS) makes it easy to create and organize new areas for your website, such as a blog or a directory of team members. The CMS allows you to handle information that fits within the same content structure and is very flexible, allowing you to connect different categories and display dynamic content. For example, you can show the different services offered by each team member or the latest blog posts by authors. With Webflow, you can develop your pages efficiently and have a well-structured website with dynamic content in the right place.

4. Design freedom

One of the biggest benefits of Webflow is that it gives you complete control over the design of your website. Unlike other platforms that offer pre-built templates or sections, Webflow allows you to customize every pixel of your site. However, it's important to remember that with this level of control comes the responsibility to use the tool correctly in order to create a responsive website with high quality standards. Webflow offers multiple screen sizing options to ensure that your website looks great on all devices.

5. SEO

Webflow is highly SEO-friendly, with the ability to edit page information directly in the native page panel without the need for additional plugins. The sitemap is generated automatically. Additionally, Webflow offers options to clean and compress the code for improved page speed and better SEO positioning. Our team saw a significant increase in traffic for one of our clients after updating their website to Webflow and improving the code hierarchy. Traffic doubled within a year of the relaunch.

6. Third Party connections

Webflow's integration with tools like Make.com and Zapier allows for the creation of custom features. It's even possible to build a complete SaaS software using the platform. The scalability is endless with the ability to connect via API, webhook, or custom code.
