Common FAQs
What is Webflow, and why should I consider it for my business website?
Webflow is an all-in-one web development platform. It's a good choice for businesses because it offers enterprise-grade hosting, design flexibility, responsive architecture, and a built-in content management system (CMS), making it easier to maintain your website without extensive coding knowledge.
Can I update and manage my website after it’s built in Webflow?
Yes, our Webflow sites include a user-friendly content management system (CMS) that will allow you to update and manage your site’s content, images, blog articles, educational videos and more without the aid of a developer.
Is it possible to integrate third-party tools and services into my Webflow site?
Yes, Webflow supports custom code integrations, which allows you to incorporate third-party tools like analytics, email marketing, CRM tools, donation software, and more. Third-party software must offer an embed code or iFrame in order to integrate it with your website.
Is Webflow a suitable option for e-commerce websites?
Webflow does support e-commerce functionality, making it a viable choice for smaller scale e-commerce setups with more basic requirements. It offers the ability to set up product listings, shopping carts, and secure payment processing through Stripe. For more complex e-commerce companies we recommend Shopify.
How much does hosting cost?
If you host on Webflow through H1, basic hosting costs $50 per month. As a part of your monthly hosting cost, you will get HTTP/2 ready, enterprise-grade hosting powered by AWS and the Webflow content management system at your fingertips. You’ll also get daily backups and H1 to be on-call if your website goes down or experiences a critical issue. Please note, if you require more than 3 CMS logins, PDF uploads, or e-commerce capabilities you will need upgraded hosting which will be quoted as a part of your website cost.
What if I want to self-host?
If you have your own servers or platform you’d prefer to host on, we can build the website then package the HTML, CSS and Javascript files and hand them over to you to host as you please. Please note, if you do self-host the site will not come with a content management system on the back-end.
Are there any limitations with Webflow?
There is a maximum of 40 collections and 10,000 fields in the Webflow content management system. The client will also not have direct access to the raw website code if hosting through H1.
Why should I choose Webflow over Wordpress?
We recommend Webflow over Wordpress for a variety of reasons, but here are the top three that we feel are the most compelling:
1) The platform allows for much faster and easier development of completely custom websites. So, we can give clients a 100% custom design (no templates used) with stunning animations, lots of functionality choices and beautiful page designs with very fast turnaround times.
2) Webflow does not use third-party plug-ins. Many of the functionalities and features you see on Wordpress sites are plug-ins created by developers from all over the world. While it might look clean on the front-end, code is actually being hacked together in the back-end which can cause a very chunky, poorly coded site. Since we code everything from scratch with Webflow, our website code is much cleaner, which offers faster load speeds, more security and better SEO.
3) From a client standpoint, Webflow's content management system (CMS) is much easier to use than Wordpress. Webflow uses a visual, on-page editor that allows clients to make edits and actually see them as they happen rather than through the eyes of a back-end dashboard. The CMS is more intuitive and offers an overall better user experience than Wordpress.
