FAQ

What's the difference between webflow & wordpress?

WordPress is an open-source blogging platform with an extensive library of plugins. Moreover, because WordPress doesn’t include integrated hosting, developers must provision, secure, and deploy to their own hosting environments, which adds an additional resourcing burden.

Webflow is a website experience platform that gives teams the power to build, manage, and optimize websites in a visual-first canvas. On top of a composable CMS, Webflow offers optimization tools, managed hosting, native integrations, and more

why switch from wordpress to webflow?

WordPress websites require significant engineering time to maintain and neither marketing or design have the autonomy or agility to build their own designs, experiments, or personalize content.

Webflow customers experience faster time-to-market, the ability to build more engaging and better-performing websites, and much-improved collaboration

is webflow like wordpress with elementor plugins?

Beyond the common issue where excess plugins create bloated sites, resulting in performance and security issues, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Oxygen and other simplified versions of Webflow’s visual editor still face the same fundamental problem of any WordPress implementation: making adjustments to components or themes still requires writing code.

‍With Webflow, marketing and design can import from Figma or create their own variables, components, templates, and even full atomic design systems that scale across your entire site.

What's included in your Webflow development services?

We can support you by building landing pages, full websites, e-commerce projects, interactions, optimize for responsiveness, integrate any CMS you want, maintain your website and add custom code to your Webflow.

Can you fix or improve our already existing website?

Yes, we can fix or improve your website to reach better performance and more conversions. Our team can easily revive abandoned projects, poorly constructed websites or messy site builds.

Can our in-house team take over once the project is done?

Yes, absolutely. Your in-house team can take over as soon as we deliver the project. We will transfer you an easily maintainable website that has the potential to scale and convert more.

Do you offer maintenance services for websites?

Yes, we offer maintenance services for Webflow sites. A lot of our clients don't have their own in-house development teams or just want to allocate resources differently, so we can support you as the extension of your team.

Can you integrate third-party tools and custom solutions into Webflow?

Yes, we have enough capabilities and expertise to connect your Webflow site with any CRM, API, or other third-party software that will help you streamline your business operations.
