Webflow Interactive Demo
Explore a demo of Webflow, a web design, CMS, and hosting platform that allows users to design, build, and launch responsive websites.
What is Webflow?
Webflow is a visual website builder and CMS that lets designers and developers create professional websites without writing code — while generating clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript under the hood. Founded in 2013 by Vlad Magdalin, Webflow serves over 3.5 million designers and teams who need the power of custom code with the speed of a visual builder.
Unlike drag-and-drop builders that produce messy markup, Webflow's visual canvas maps directly to CSS Box Model concepts — designers work with flexbox, grid, padding, and margins visually, and the output is production-quality code. This makes it uniquely powerful for design-forward teams.
Webflow's CMS lets teams manage blog posts, product pages, and other dynamic content through a structured data model. The Webflow Editor allows non-technical stakeholders to update content without touching the design. Webflow also offers an ecommerce solution and recently launched Webflow Apps for extending functionality.
How to get started with Webflow
- 1
Start with a template or blank
Sign up at webflow.com and choose a template from Webflow's marketplace or start with a blank project. The free plan includes 2 projects with a webflow.io subdomain. Hosting plans start at $14/month for custom domains.

Build your layout visually
Use the Designer to build your page structure with divs, sections, flexbox, and grid layouts. Style elements with the right panel — the CSS properties map directly to standard web CSS. Changes are previewed live on the canvas.
- 3
Set up your CMS collections
For dynamic content (blog posts, team members, case studies), create CMS Collections with custom fields (text, images, references). Design templates that automatically render for each item in the collection.
- 4
Connect your domain and publish
Connect your custom domain in Webflow's hosting settings. Add an SSL certificate (included). Click Publish to deploy your site to Webflow's global CDN. Changes publish instantly.
- 5
Enable the Editor for content updates
Share the Webflow Editor link with your clients or content team. The Editor provides a simplified interface for updating text and images without access to the Designer — perfect for non-technical stakeholders.

FAQs on Webflow
Commonly asked questions about Webflow. Have more? Reach out and our team will be happy to help.
Is Webflow free?
Yes. Webflow's free Starter plan lets you build 2 projects with 50 CMS items and a webflow.io subdomain. Paid hosting plans (Basic at $14/month) add custom domains, form submissions, and more pages.
Does Webflow require coding?
No coding is required to build fully functional websites in Webflow. However, designers who understand HTML/CSS can work more effectively because Webflow's interface directly maps to CSS concepts. Custom code embeds are supported for advanced functionality.
Can non-designers update content in Webflow?
Yes. Webflow's Editor provides a simplified, click-to-edit interface for non-designers to update text, images, and CMS content. They never see the Designer or interact with the layout — only the content fields.
Is Webflow good for SEO?
Yes. Webflow generates clean semantic HTML, supports meta tags and Open Graph fields per page, auto-generates sitemaps, and has built-in SSL and CDN hosting. Its performance scores typically outperform WordPress sites built with page builders.
Can Webflow host ecommerce?
Yes. Webflow Ecommerce lets you build custom online stores with product pages, shopping carts, and Stripe/PayPal payment processing. It's best for design-forward stores with limited SKUs — platforms like Shopify are better for high-volume retail.
How does Webflow compare to WordPress for agencies?
Webflow has lower maintenance overhead (no plugins to update, no security patches), faster design iteration, and cleaner output. WordPress has a larger plugin ecosystem and lower entry-level client cost. Many agencies are transitioning to Webflow for marketing sites.
