What is Webflow?

A few years ago, when I was looking for a way to create websites quickly, qualitatively and without endless code debugging, I came across Webflow. Since then, I use it daily — both for smaller clients and larger projects. And more and more people are asking me, “Why Webflow? “

Webflow in a nutshell

Webflow is a tool that allows you to create full-featured responsive websites without coding — but at the same time, you can play with virtually everything under the hood. It combines the best of the design tools (Sketch, Figma) and the developer environment (HTML, CSS, JS), but all in one package.

What suits me the most about Webflow

Real-time design

You make up what you really see. No “previews”, no translation into development. You just build the website in its final form.

Responsiveness without pain

I used to spend hours tuning my mobile display. This is where you set breakpoints and you can instantly tweak the design for different devices. Simple — and especially without frustration.

A code that's worth something

Webflow generates Clean semantic code — ideal if you want to export or debug it. No mess like with some other builders.

Fast and secure hosting

Sites run on Fast servers with HTTPS, CDN and solid availability. I don't have to deal with WordPress hosting, plugins, hacks — and that's what I enjoy.

Webflow CMS

No more explaining to clients how to add an article in WordPress. Webflow CMS is simple, clear and anyone can handle it. This includes dynamic pages, filtering and linking to collections.

Who do I think it's for?

  • Designerswho want to keep the output under control
  • Developerswho don't want to deal with layouts manually
  • Agenciesthat need to commit a functional site quickly
  • Smaller companies and entrepreneurswho want to manage the site themselves


It's not for everyone — but if you want to build modern, responsive websites with your own design and don't want to depend on a developer or editorial system, Webflow is a really powerful tool. He convinced me -- and I think he might as well you.
