General questions about Webflow

What is Webflow?

Webflow is a browser-based website creation platform that enables users to design, develop and publish professional websites without programming knowledge. Webflow combines the advantages of a visual website builder with the flexibility of a full-fledged content management system (CMS). With Webflow, you can completely customize your website while the platform automatically generates the required HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code in the background. This makes Webflow ideal for designers, developers, freelancers and agencies such as redfreckles.de who are looking for a user-friendly and flexible solution for web development.

How does Webflow work?

With Webflow, you can build websites through visual design. That means you can drag and drop elements into the editor, customize layouts, and insert content — all without writing a line of code. Meanwhile, Webflow automatically generates the code in the background. The platform also provides a comprehensive CMS that allows you to easily manage content such as blog posts, product pages, or portfolio entries. Webflow also offers a variety of Webflow themes and templates to help you get started and get results fast.

What does Webflow do?

Webflow allows users to build fully responsive websites that look equally good on desktop and mobile devices. The platform is aimed at both professionals and beginners. Webflow combines design, development, and hosting in a single solution, so you can manage everything in one place. Thanks to the integration of the Webflow CMS, content is very easy to update without the need for technical expertise. Webflow agencies such as redfreckles.de use these features to develop individual websites for their customers and to enable them to easily manage their content.

How good is Webflow?

The Webflow platform is highly regarded for its flexibility and ease of use. Most Webflow experiences from users and designers are consistently positive, as the platform provides comprehensive design control without the need for programming. Webflow is great for people who want a visually appealing website with full control over the layout. Users praise the professional presentation, the many Webflow templates and the user-friendly editing. Webflow is ideal for anyone who needs a powerful and customizable website.

Who is Webflow for?

Webflow is suitable for beginners and professionals alike. It is aimed at designers who want to create a fully customizable web design without having to program for it. Freelancers, small businesses, Webflow agencies and start-ups can also benefit from the platform, as it allows them to develop professional websites that are both creative and functional. For large companies and agencies, Webflow offers specialized plans that enable them to efficiently manage their client projects and make a wide range of adjustments.

Is Webflow a construction kit?

Yes, Webflow is a type of website builder, but it offers significantly more features and flexibility than classic website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Unlike typical construction kits, Webflow gives users full control over the design and HTML code of the website. It's ideal for anyone looking for a balance between an easy-to-use drag-and-drop editor and the flexibility of a developer-friendly platform. Webflow themes and Webflow templates can be used to have a basic structure, which is then customized.

How hard is it to use Webflow?

Webflow offers a very user-friendly interface, but it also has a learning curve, particularly for people who have no previous experience with web design. However, with Webflow Learning, Webflow University, and extensive tutorials, you can quickly learn the basics of the platform. Getting started can take some time, but once you understand how to use the visual editor, it becomes easy to create professional Webflow sites.

Is it easy to build a website with Webflow?

With Webflow, creating a website is pretty easy, especially for designers and visually oriented people. The drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to place and adjust items. Webflow templates help you quickly create a beautiful basis that can be customized individually. Even users with little experience can use the platform to develop an impressive Webflow site. Many Webflow experiences show that compared to other platforms, it is a simple yet powerful solution that still offers extensive control over the design.

Language settings and usability

Can Webflow be converted to German?

The Webflow user interface is set to English by default. There is currently no direct way to convert the entire Webflow user interface to German. However, the created Webflow sites can of course be designed in any language, including German. Many Webflow agencies in Germany successfully use the platform for websites in German and thus ensure a localized and appealing presentation for the respective target groups.

Costs and usage

How much does Webflow cost?

Webflow costs vary depending on the plan you choose. There are several Webflow pricing models that are tailored to different needs, from free accounts to professional plans. The paid plans start at around €13 per month for basic usage and go up to higher tariffs for larger projects and companies.

Is Webflow free?

Yes, there is a free version of Webflow. With the free plan, users can create projects, try out designs, and test basic features. However, the options in the free version are limited, and using a custom domain and publishing a live website is only possible with a paid plan.

What can you do with Webflow for free?

With the free Webflow account, you can create two projects and test all basic features to get familiar with the platform. You can try out the visual editor, use Webflow themes, and use basic design tools. However, using a custom domain, advanced CMS features, and live publishing a website are only possible after upgrading to a paid plan.

Features and hosting

Is hosting included with Webflow?

Yes, hosting is included directly with Webflow. This means you don't have to worry about setting up external hosting. The hosting services offered by Webflow are based on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Fastly, which ensures fast loading times and high availability. Webflow takes care of security updates, backups and ensures that your website is stable and secure at all times. This is particularly attractive for users who don't want to deal with the technical side of hosting.

Where are Webflow pages hosted?

The Webflow pages are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Fastly. This means that your website is hosted on some of the most secure and reliable servers in the world, ensuring fast load times and high availability. With Webflow's hosting partnerships, you can be sure that your Webflow site is stable and securely accessible at all times.

How many websites can I build with Webflow?

With a free Webflow account, you can create up to two projects at the same time, but you can't publish them. With a paid plan, you can publish multiple websites. Webflow agencies and users who want to manage many projects can use team plans or special agency plans that offer a large number of projects and extended access.

Security and privacy

How secure is Webflow?

Webflow offers comprehensive security features, including SSL encryption for all hosted websites. The platform ensures that your Webflow site is secure by automatically integrating and updating security updates. Hosting via Amazon Web Services also ensures a high level of stability and protection against attacks.

Is Webflow GDPR-compliant?

Webflow can be used in a GDPR-compliant manner if you take the right steps. This includes the conclusion of a data processing agreement (DPA) with Webflow, which regulates the processing of personal data. The data is stored primarily in the USA, so appropriate measures such as standard contractual clauses are necessary to ensure that all data protection requirements are met. You must also ensure that all necessary consents, such as for cookies, are obtained from visitors to your site.
