What is Webflow?

Webflow is a visual web development platform that lets teams design, build and host websites without hand-writing code. Its designer exposes the underlying HTML and CSS box model, its CMS handles structured content in collections, and sites are published to Webflow hosting with SSL and content delivery included.

How Webflow works

Layouts are built with the same concepts as CSS: classes, flexbox, grid and the box model, set through panels rather than typed. That gives fine control, and it rewards people who already think in web standards.

Structured content lives in CMS collections, with a template page that renders each item.

Webflow and Framer

Both are visual builders with a CMS and hosting. Webflow leans towards a developer's mental model with class-based styling; Framer leans towards a designer's canvas. The Framer vs Webflow comparison goes through the differences in detail.

When teams move on

Teams leave Webflow when plan costs, CMS limits or the need for a custom front end outgrow the platform. A move needs a full URL map and 301 redirects so search rankings carry over.
