Webflow
Webflow is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides a visual web design tool allowing users to build responsive websites using a drag-and-drop interface. It abstracts away much of the traditional coding required in web development, enabling designers and developers to create custom websites without needing to write code directly in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, although custom code can be integrated for advanced functionality.
Webflow generates clean, semantic code in the background, which users can export. It combines design, content management, and hosting into a single platform. The design interface allows for visual manipulation of elements, including styling properties like typography, layout, and interactions.
The platform includes a Content Management System (CMS) allowing users to create and manage dynamic content such as blog posts, portfolios, and e-commerce products. This CMS is integrated directly into the visual design environment.
Webflow also offers hosting services optimized for websites built on the platform. This hosting is typically delivered through a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for faster load times globally.
Webflow targets a range of users, from freelancers and designers to agencies and larger organizations, seeking a streamlined process for building and managing websites.
