5 pretty good reasons why you should develop your website with Webflow

Introduction - What is Webflow?

Webflow is the world's most advanced website builder that develops responsive websites directly in the browser. The corresponding HTML, CSS and JavaScript code is generated compactly and cleanly in the background. Webflow is thus positioning itself as a groundbreaking no-code tool.

The special feature of Webflow compared to other page builders is that it does not set any technical limits due to its special approach to creativity.

Do you want a website like Apple's? That's exactly what you get with Webflow. The platform is therefore particularly popular with companies that want to inspire their visitors with an impressive web experience.

1. Unrestricted design freedom

To understand what makes Webflow so powerful in the area of design, let's first take a look at other page builders such as Framer, WIX, or WordPress Elementor. Thanks to the user-friendly drag-and-drop approach, these page builders don't need much previous knowledge to set up a website on your own (whether that's a good idea remains to be seen). If you want to go deeper into the comparison, I recommend our articles on Framer or wordpress.

The ease of use is of course a big advantage. However, this quickly brings you to the technical limits that the respective page builder offers you. Certainly enough in many cases. But if you want to break out of 0815 uniformity with your website, you have to start thinking creatively and break new ground.

That's where Webflow comes in. Even though, strictly speaking, it also markets itself as a drag-and-drop tool, I wouldn't describe it as such. Rather, it builds on the classic concepts of web development and transports them into a visual development environment.

Anyone who has nothing to do with web development will quickly be overwhelmed with Webflow. However, if you throw an experienced web designer or web developer into the wondrous world of Webflow, you can really create extremely impressive web experiences.

2. Animations like Apple

If you really want to captivate your visitors, you need a certain WOW factor on your website. This can be an unusual concept, exciting visuals or even impressive animations. Ideally, everything comes together.

Regardless of whether it's scroll animations, 3D interactions with Spline (more about this in this article) or mouse interactions. Webflow is also setting new standards in this area and offers an endless variety of possibilities.

I have linked a few examples at the end of the article that wonderfully show what is possible with Webflow Interactions. It's worth taking a look!
