Webflow: A Powerful Website Builder That Gives You Control
More than templates, Webflow provides a platform with deep customization. In years past, I would have found myself creating websites within the Wordpress environment. Though there are advantages unique to Wordpress, the element of compatibility of plugins failing and never ending security exploits led me first to Squarespace and then to Webflow. The later offering superior granular controls as compared to Squarespace. Webflow became my core website service for a period of two years. No coding required, yet full access to CSS and Script customization.

HIGH PERFORMANCE HOSTING
Webflow utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a focus on reliability and speed. The results from my website GTmetrix report agrees with this, returning near perfect scores.
SUPPORT
Customer support is available Monday to Friday from 6 am to 6 pm PT. There is also a forum style support and an extensive knowledge base. I have to admit that I have not yet once needed to email their support. I have found every answer from either their Webflow University help pages or a simple Google Search. So as much as some may offer phone or 24/7 support, I have not found a shortcoming here as the product has been well documented and is stable.
WHO DO I USE NOW
As of 2024 I have moved my webhosting to their competitor SAAS, duda. My experience has been similar to Webflow. Both use Amazon AWS and return fantastic scores on GTmetrix. The deciding factor was that duda had a better turnkey solution that simplified the design process. In 2025, both services fully support complex custom code and easy no-code options. It's a win win for the consumer. A deeper dive in duda is on the way this summer.
