I build websites for clients and I am trying to see if there is a huge SEO difference between these 2

Can I hear from actual wordpress users that have jumped ship and started to use webflow? What do you like most about it? Was it easy to switch and build? Has it streamlined any processes in your workflow? Is the pain of plugin updates worth the switch? Does webflow have plugins or are they more restrictive than wordpress?

Ideally, I'm really just curious to learn why you decided to switch. thanks for sharing!

I've got to give it to WordPress, for its simple interface it's a really great website especially for blogging. But right now, I really want to step up my design game (using the free plan rn) with Webflow. Either way, they'll both have that default domain thing, and I hear there's a steep learning curve on Webflow but I'm willing to take my time on it. Wordpress is really limited, but it's more well-known and it boosts your sites more (from what I've heard), however Webflow has more customization and doesn't need plugins for everything. In your opinion, which is better?

Looking for the best options to build out a website that's currently on Squarespace. The more I read into Webflow, the more intriguing it sounds. But, it sounds like the majority of sites are still based on Wordpress / Elementor. Is there a particular reason for that?

Most of my competitors use WP, but I just found someone ranked 2nd with his handyman business using webflow

My site currently runs in Squarespace and I am tired of the limitations. Budget is not an issue, as I am building the site myself. I am mostly looking towards improving my ranking (haven't done anything in exactly 1 year, still ranking 8th)

I see it's easy to make a good looking website in WebFlow. Is Wordpress really that hard?

And besides the stuff I find online like "Wordpress has more tools" what ACTUALLY does it do better, what do those tools do that I can't do in WebFlow. Is it a tool for analysis or is it like some secret potion

My company is beginning the process of a full website redesign based on a rebranding. I have taken over the project as the previous owner has left the company. We are looking to outsource the website development and are going to start seeking bids in the coming months.

I was hoping to gain input on a topic I'm sure is discusses frequently here. Could you provide input in the considerations I should think of in choosing Webflow or Wordpress? If there are post's already discussing this in detail apologies - feel free to point me to those if you could.

Some background that may help:

• With the outsourcing of the design, we do not have a team currently that will handle upkeep and with capacity concerns the upkeep with need to be fairly minimal.

• Major design changes will not be frequent but we hope to use the website to engage in sharing content (mostly blogs and video) on a frequent basis.

• We currently use HubSpot so integration to this for analytics is a major consideration.

• Hosting costs or service fees are not a major concern - we have healthy financials.

• We currently use Wordpress but have no internal knowledge as that person is no longer at the org.

Happy to answer any questions as well.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: adding in that we currently use wordpress.

Essentially, I'm looking for an alternative.

I've been using WordPress for several years and whilst it's done it's job, I'm tired of having to learn or decide between new plugins that do the same thing (I'm looking at you page builders). Ongoing maintenance of websites and overall, I feel like WordPress under the bonnet, even in the best circumstances is hella messy.

A lot of my dev friends also hate WordPress.

So I started using Webflow with the free trial and honestly I love it. How simple it is to spend little time with it and get amazing results. No need to worry about plugins or hosting, it's all in one box. Even the process of providing Web design and client services seems easier.

Still not entirely sure though.

Any ex-Wordpress guys or Webflowers in general wanna give me their experiences?

Thanks!

A client of mine wants to update their website, which is currently built in a custom theme in Wordpress and has a fair amount of Google ads and search term traffic. Absolutely shocking at conversion though as it’s not been designed very well.

What they want is something with a lot more creative freedom/slick customer journey and I think Webflow works for this, plus it’s the only thing I build in currently. However, I keep seeing posts about Wordpress being superior in terms of SEO. I’ve tried to do some research but I can’t work out what’s hyperbole or biased because the article/ view comes from a developer of either platform.

Are there any unbiased sources or even better, metrics, out there? I’m nervous of tanking any rankings.

I had built a couple of WordPress sites when I was in High school (about a decade ago). After learning the basics of HTML and CSS, I tried to get into web development during the lockdown. Soon I realized that it’s not sustainable to hand-code every single website from scratch since most of the websites required a CMS. I looked into some headless CMS like gatsby but found that it would be complex for the clients to manage and lacked a lot of integrations and SEO functionality. After looking through all the available options, I was confused between two - Webflow and WordPress.

When I dug a little deeper, there were a whole lot of people on youtube giving high praises to webflow like "webflow changed my life", "Webflow helped me charge 10X more". So I tried to give it a go. Since I knew the basics of HTML and CSS, it was not quite hard for me to pick up. Yes, we get granular control, clean code, and faster websites than WordPress. But the problem is, how does that translate to results for clients. How many clients would pay thrice the monthly subscription for a website that's marginally faster and a not-so-clunky CMS instead of the familiar one? I know for a fact that I would easily pick WordPress for one-third of the price if I'm just starting out.

TLDR; I find it hard to convince clients (and even myself) to use webflow over WordPress.

If I want to sell web design and web development to clients, which platform should I drill down to?

The problem is, from a client's perspective, webflow doesn't bring anything new to the table. It just makes the experience a little bit better.

And about security, really for a small business, If I'm using the right security plugins, actively updating them, and following all the best practices, How likely am I to get hacked while using WordPress?

Hi all, I am the only marketing employee of a Fintech with about 150 employees.

I wanted your thoughts on Webflow and whether it could be an appropriate replacement for Wordpress (what we have now) or if we stick with Wordpress…

Basically, we have a site with about 30 “main” pages, a few pages dedicated to only forms (forms made with Formassembly), and about 200 blog posts.

The Webflow agency obviously stated how great Webflow is for all these things but we currently use Wordpress and it works fine, our site is just ugly.

I am familiar with Wordpress but no idea on Webflow. We would likely get a retainer from the agency for the first 6 months for any edits. What would you do?

I don’t want Webflow to have 1,000 problems and my direct boss ( the CEO) be furious.

Is it generally better to use Webflow or Wordpress for SEO? Is one objectively better for structural reasons, is it personal preference, or is there more nuance to the answer?

Im trying to gather perspectives on using Wordpress vs. Webflow for a website I have to rebuild.

My personal choice for this circumstance would be Wordpress as I think it will be more intuitive for the organization to learn how to operate and keep up after i'm gone. As most have little to no web design/ development experience mind you.

As I was looking up different opinions and perspectives on the matter I found this exact question but id like to ask it again with this situation in mind. Ive asked this on the Wordpress page as well but id like to be as fair and impartial as possible. Thus, if I could get some opinions from this sub to gather a range of qualitative data that is more accurate, that would be amazing!

Thoughts on Wordpress Vs Webflow?

Any & all greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm in the process of appointing an agency to look after SEO and adwords for my business.

Agency 1 says they want me to migrate my current website from webflow to wordpress. They say it is a much better platform and will get better SEO results than if I am on webflow.

Agency 2 says I can stay on webflow and that they will get great results with it. When I asked them if wordpress was a better option that webflow for SEO they said there were pros and cons of each, but not enough to warrant migrating the site to wordpress.

I'm finding it tricky deciding which agency to go with in part because the wordpress vs webflow conversation has thrown me.

Thoughts?

I've been following the SEO industry for some time, and now I decided to learn it by doing it, so I'm planning to make a website for a niche that I'm interested in, my plan was to use WordPress until recently I learned about Webflow, so I got confused, could you advise me which platform is better for my requirements (learning SEO, and building a niche website), and explain your reasoning behind your recommendation. And is any platform of these is better than the other for SEO in general? Thanks a lot.

Hi all, I work for a company that creates enterprise social networks and intranets and we’re in the process of changing our website. I want something that looks too notch just like the websites of companies like Stripe, Intercom, Segment… I believe Webflow might be a solution but I still have doubts.

Does anyone here uses Webflow for their website?

How good is it for SEO, especially in terms of speed? Does it offer more design freedom than Wordpress? Does it require a lot of training for a professional designer?

Also if possible, if some of you built their startup website on Webflow, may I see the result?

Thanks a lot!

Intro:

I got very basic Web design knowledge and can put up a simple Wordpress website. Not much of a coder/designer but can alter the template to match the needs. I want to start a Web Agency that helps people with their websites and marketing, run Google Ads to get more traffic, and help people sell more products and such (Big vision but I am willing to put the effort with time and even get help from others like freelancers to get this going).

Since recently Webflow has been popping up on my feeds. I guess the Digital Marketing is at it best. And, I checked some of the YT videos and many say it's best for design, has it's advantages, future-proof and all. But, I would like to get your opinions on this; the practical and real-user opinions.

1. Is Webflow Worth learning compared to learning Wordpress?

2. Is Webflow worth the price? Compared to WP which only needs hosting and a domain after you make the initial purchases for the theme and plugins.

3. How scalable is Webflow? Make static websites, Blogs, shopping websites, commercial websites etc?

4. What are some of the limitations you found with Webflow?

5. Does the Website speed actually better compared to Wordpress sites because of the clean code and AWS hosting?

6. Have you experienced better SEO or comparatively easy SEO with WF or WP?

7. Is there something you can do with WF or can't do with WF, when compared to WP?

8. Webdesign, websites change now to Mobile-first approach because of the billions of mobile users and I want to actually focus on this aspect for the designs compared to Traditional Desktop designs. Is this doable or should we mainly focus on Desktop design and then do Mobile as responsive?

I know it's too much questions but these are some of the questions I got in mind. It's like the FB slogan, Go Big or Go Home. So, many questions and thought I could get your honest ideas and explanations on this.

Thanks in Advance!
