Webflow is often confused for other WYSIWIG website builders that rely on dragging and dropping elements on a webpage. While those platforms come with their own design limitations, Webflow does not. With Webflow can create custom designed websites while leveraging the power of CSS, HTML and Javascript within an intuitive visual canvas that shortens development time. 

Webflow focuses on outputting clean code, for search engine crawlers this enables them the ability to scan Webflow websites easily while giving them the ability to understand content and rank indexed pages accordingly. 

Webflow has been around since 2013 and with roughly 450,000 websites that have decided to use their platform. As of January 2021 they were valued at $2.1 billion and are poised for further growth while being well funded for further investment in R&D. 

Once the site is built, marketers and designers have complete control of copy, imagery, and CMS content via the Webflow Editor, no code required. We've built complex resource libraries with hundreds of blog posts, case studies, ebooks, videos, and podcasts, all being maintained by marketers without the need for a developer. And if (or when) the time come for structural/dynamic changes, like a refreshed page design or making room for more CMS content, those updates can be made in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take with code.

Webflow uses a wide range of modern technology in order to optimize webpages for maximum performance. Webflow uses the Amazon S3 content delivery network, Amazon cloudfront, Openresty, NGINX, JS Query CDN, CDN JS and one of the best web application accelerators called Varnish. This along with the ability to output clean code helps to ensure sitespeed scores and performance remain optimal.
