5 Webflow features for entrepreneurs
CMSs (content management systems) often divide website designers and users. There is no shortage of options, from WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify and Wix to Webflow, and the list can get very long.
We picked 5 Webflow features that should convince entrepreneurs to choose Webflow to build an exceptional website.
Webflow is built for the end user
When you own a website, the time spent editing content, adding photos or writing new articles can be considerable. Webflow has completely rethought the user experience and put it at the heart of how it works. With the Editor, you make visual changes and create content directly on your live web pages.
This changes everything. To edit an element on the page, you just click on it. You can add text, images, navigation elements, videos or almost any other type of content.
The Webflow Editor puts the user back at the center. Editing your site becomes a pleasure, and you watch it evolve with each update.
No more endless plugins to update
Most website building CMSs need many plugins to add features. Webflow chose a native approach. You need no extra plugins, and you do not have to handle their near-daily maintenance or the security holes they can open.
Adding plugins also often increases response and loading times, which clearly degrades the experience on your website.
The power of dynamic CMS management
With Webflow, you manage your content dynamically with custom CMS collections, built to match your business exactly. No more tinkering with the WordPress blog section. The Webflow CMS is feature-rich, fast and easy to learn.
In a few clicks, you manage all your content, such as event listings, news, product pages or your blog.
Ultra-fast hosting and stronger security
Webflow makes hosting simple and affordable, at about €170 per year for a showcase site. Thanks to tier-1 CloudFront hosting, your site is hosted to some of the highest standards on the market. Tier-1 CloudFront is the solution used by most large companies, such as Amazon, Dropbox or Adobe. It delivers world-class speed and reliability, with 99.9% uptime and the fastest CDN in the world. Webflow runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Fastly. AWS supports millions of sites, and the Fastly global CDN delivers your content in milliseconds, wherever you are.
The HTTP/2 protocol, active with no setup, makes sure your site loads as fast as possible. Webflow constantly updates its infrastructure to raise these standards.
Webflow also provides SSL certificates that secure your website and spare your users worrying security warnings.
Webflow is optimized for organic search
When it comes to organic search (SEO), Webflow is among the best tools, if not the best. Its many native features give you access to all SEO best practices. You get clean code, fast loading times, semantic URL structures and editable alt tags, title tags and meta descriptions.
Webflow also generates your sitemap automatically and lets you easily set up 301 redirects if you change a URL slug or delete a page.
