Our review
Webflow is a visual web design tool that outputs clean code. You design in a visual editor and get a proper CMS and hosting. No coding is required for basic use but the learning curve is steeper than Wix or Squarespace. Developers can export code or use Webflow as a CMS. Ecommerce is available on higher plans. Best for designers who want control without writing code and for content-driven sites.
We recommend Webflow when design control and code-quality output matter. For simpler sites, Wix or Squarespace. For ecommerce-first, Shopify.
