Because our sites are 100% custom, there are no extra plugin fees to deal with Yoast for SEO (built into Webflow), Jetpack for monitoring, and CDN (built into Webflow), plus a site builder like Elementor. I’m sure someone has made a comparison demonstrating all the factors that go into site costs. People complain about the price, but it’s honestly the same, if not cheaper in some instances. With these, your sites have fixed specs, set storage amounts, and a host (pun intended?) of other details to keep in mind and bog you down. I cannot imagine dealing with a hosting provider. Speaking of cache and servers, hosting with Webflow has to be the easiest solution available. Everything just, for lack of a better word, works. With Webflow, this problem doesn’t exist. The cache builds up, servers overload, there’s not enough bandwidth, et cetera. I’ve witnessed countless times: one plugin causes others to crash. When you have a site built with, for example, WordPress, you have plugins upon plugins in order to make everything function how it should. And with this knowledge, and Webflow's visual nature, you can do more with greater ease. You don't have to be fluent, that's true, but it helps to know how to structure your content. Even small instances of code usage like this are helpful though. Remember MySpace pages? I had mine decked out with a Mario theme. Sure, I've dabbled in writing HTML or CSS. So it helped me to learn code by seeing it being built out visually. I started my design career with graphics and motion design. That’s what drew me toward Webflow in the first place. While they’re certainly making progress towards this, I think of them more as a visual web builder. Webflow pushes themselves as a “no-code” solution for the web. Since time is so valuable, let's do more with less. This allows us to set up styles, default layouts, reusable elements, and more. Not only because it’s visual building, but the way everything is structured. Webflow allows us to build and build quickly. You owe me for the years, not the minutes. I’m sure you’ve heard of this expression: If I do a job in 30 minutes, it's because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You often pay more depending on how quickly the job is completed, right? In this case, it’s not the time you’re paying for, but the skills involved. If a mechanic repairs your car or a carpenter builds onto your house, you’re paying for materials, but you’re also paying for labor (their time). In any profession, time is worth something. The more time a project takes, the more it will cost. We’ve had several startups partner up with us this past year to do just this. What if you could move faster without them?
