For teams where design fidelity is a competitive advantage, this distinction outweighs almost every other platform trade-off.","The platform has expanded well beyond its visual builder origins. The CMS handles structured content at scale across blogs, landing pages, and marketing sites; Webflow AI generates page sections that inherit your existing design system; and the Webflow Cloud layer supports deployable web apps alongside static sites. Enterprise teams get publishing workflows, branching, approvals, AEO tooling, and granular permissions - while agencies manage multi-client workspaces with delegated billing backed by 2,000+ certified partners.","The main friction points are consistent across independent reviews: the editor has a real learning curve that requires understanding layout and CSS concepts before it clicks; pricing escalates quickly once you add e-commerce, the Optimize add-on, extra bandwidth, or workspace seats; and code export comes with meaningful limitations - forms stop working, CMS requires per-collection export, and exported code cannot be reimported.
