Advantages of Webflow

Although the learning curve with Webflow is somewhat steeper than with Wix or Wordpress, Webflow is much more flexible in its use.

A significant advantage of Webflow is the short loading times of the websites. Several factors contribute to this. Firstly, the automatically generated source code is error-free and lean.

On the other hand, the Content Delivery Network ensures that the web pages are always called up from the user's nearest node.
An automatically installed SSL certificate ensures a high level of security. All security standards are adhered to. Webflow uses AWS servers, which are among the most secure in the world. They protect the website from hacker attacks and make outages virtually impossible.

Webflow is search engine optimised. SEO-friendliness was already a focus during the development of Webflow. Functions that are important for search engine optimisation are already integrated. These include 301 redirects, maintenance of titles, IMG tags and meta descriptions as well as control of the URL structure and automatically generated XML sitemaps.

The creation of a website with Webflow is responsive, which means that the website is optimally displayed on all end devices. This plays an important role, especially in view of Google's mobile-first ranking factor.

With other providers, additional plug-ins are usually required for search engine optimisation settings, which require continuous maintenance. These important functions are already integrated in Webflow and are constantly updated without downtime. Webflow is therefore independent of plug-ins. This ensures short loading times.

Webflow has an exceptionally easy-to-use content management system. Due to its clarity, the web designer does not necessarily have to be called in, but any employee can make the changes. Webflow is maintenance-free, as no updates are necessary. The cloud-based software automatically creates backups and saves different versions of the website.

If you want to be free in the design of your website, there are no limits with Webflow. Websites are not based on templates, but are unique in their design.

Webflow also allows certain content to be made accessible only to a defined group of people via password protection.

Webflow vs. Wordpress

In contrast to Wordpress, Webflow offers absolute freedom. Wordpress severely restricts design through its templates and plug-ins. Those who already have concrete ideas regarding the design and do not write codes themselves can let off steam with Webflow.

Because Wordpress is often bloated by the dependence on plug-ins, the performance of the website is impaired as a result. Webflow, on the other hand, generates a lean and error-free source code.

SEO settings can be easily adjusted in Wordpress with the help of a plug-in - usually for a fee. However, the plug-in must be configured. Webflow, on the other hand, allows fully customisable SEO settings. The websites are designed to be easily found by the search engines' algorithm.
Webflow also scores in terms of security. Although Wordpress also offers SSL certificates, it is also known for its security gaps due to lack of maintenance and faulty plug-ins. Webflow, on the other hand, has free SSL certificates for all websites that are constantly monitored.

Wordpress offers an extensive dashboard with which a large number of adjustments can be made. However, most of them are irrelevant for the user. Editing on the respective page is not possible. If the website is designed with Webflow, it can be edited directly on the respective website. The dashboard is therefore very clear.
