Webflow, websites, and everything in between
We get these questions a lot — so we answered them all in one place. Learn how Webflow works, how to get better results from it, and how we help teams launch faster.
Webflow Basics
Webflow is a modern visual web development platform that lets you design, build, and launch websites without relying on traditional code. It combines design freedom with the power of a CMS (Content Management System), making it perfect for startups and enterprise teams that need scalability, speed, and full creative control.
Webflow brings design, CMS, and hosting together in one platform. You can create responsive layouts visually, add animations, manage content with a built-in CMS, and publish directly to Webflow’s global hosting network — no plugins, no patching, no downtime.
Yes. Webflow’s CMS lets you structure and manage dynamic content — like blogs, portfolios, resources, or case studies — without writing code. It’s flexible enough for marketing teams and powerful enough for developers.
Webflow is used to build marketing websites, product pages, landing pages, resource hubs, and even eCommerce experiences. Companies choose it because it’s fast, secure, scalable, and built for collaboration between designers, marketers, and developers.
Yes — Webflow integrates with backend tools and APIs to extend functionality. Using tools like Zapier, Make, or custom scripts, you can connect Webflow to CRMs, analytics dashboards, authentication systems, or databases. It’s how we help clients turn static websites into dynamic, data-driven systems.
Absolutely. Webflow gives you full control over SEO settings — titles, meta descriptions, alt text, structured data, and more. Combined with clean code and fast load times, it’s one of the most SEO-friendly site builders available.
Pricing & Hosting
Webflow offers different plans depending on your needs — from basic site plans to enterprise-level hosting. For most business websites, monthly costs range between $14–$50 for hosting, with custom enterprise pricing available for larger organizations.
Webflow hosting is built on Amazon's Cloudfront CDN and Fastly, offering enterprise-grade speed and security. You don’t need separate hosting or plugins — everything is managed automatically. That means no downtime, automatic SSL, and lightning-fast performance.
Yes. You can connect your existing domain (like yourcompany.com) directly in Webflow. The process is simple — update your DNS records, and your site will go live on your custom domain within minutes.
Building a Website
Start by defining your goals and target audience. Then, partner with a Webflow agency like 8020 to design, build, and launch a site that’s built for growth. We’ll guide you through strategy, design, development, and post-launch optimization — no guesswork, just results.
Most Webflow projects take 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. Smaller sites may launch in 4–6 weeks, while large-scale enterprise builds take longer.
It depends on your goals. A professionally built website with design, development, and SEO typically starts around $30,000 for small sites, while enterprise projects can be higher depending on complexity, sitemap, and integrations. Shoot us a message and we'll get you a quote.
Performance, SEO & Integrations
Definitely. Webflow integrates with tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics, and hundreds more. We can also set up automation using APIs, Zapier, or Make, so your Webflow site connects seamlessly to your marketing stack.
Webflow includes editable meta titles, descriptions, alt text, 301 redirects, structured data, and open graph tags. You can optimize pages individually or use Webflow’s CMS to manage SEO at scale.
Yes. We connect Webflow to CRMs (like HubSpot or Salesforce), email marketing tools (like Mailchimp or Klaviyo), analytics platforms, and automation tools like Zapier or Make. These integrations keep your marketing and sales workflows seamless.
Absolutely. Webflow allows for custom embeds, API connections, and JavaScript integrations. Whether it’s analytics, chatbots, payment processors, or dynamic content, we handle the technical setup to keep your site secure and scalable.
We commonly integrate Webflow with:
- Analytics tools like Webflow Analyze, GA4, Hotjar, and Mixpanel.
- Marketing platforms like HubSpot, Marketo, and Mailchimp.
- CRMs and automation tools like Salesforce, Zapier, and Make.
- AI and personalization tools like Webflow Optimize, Mutiny, and Segment.
Every integration is tested end-to-end to make sure data flows smoothly between systems.
Yes. Webflow supports multi-language websites through localization setups or third-party tools like Weglot. We implement hreflang tags, localized metadata, and region-specific SEO settings to help your site rank globally.
Yes. Webflow allows you to add JSON-LD schema for pages, blogs, and FAQs. At 8020, we handle schema setup for your business type, articles, FAQs, and breadcrumbs — improving your visibility and click-through rates in search results.
Webflow’s native redirect manager makes it easy to set up 301 redirects and preserve SEO value during migrations. When we handle migrations from WordPress or other CMSs, we map every URL and test it before launch to ensure a smooth transition and zero ranking loss.
We optimize image sizes, implement lazy loading, and minimize custom scripts to ensure lightning-fast load times. Webflow’s built-in CDN and automatic code optimization already handle most of the heavy lifting, so your site stays fast globally.
Webflow vs. Other Platforms
Webflow offers cleaner code, faster performance, and fewer security risks than WordPress. While WordPress relies heavily on plugins and manual updates, Webflow handles everything natively — design, CMS, and hosting — for a simpler, faster workflow.
Yes, if you’re tired of plugin maintenance, slow speeds, or dependency on developers. Webflow migrations streamline your site’s structure, improve page performance, and give your marketing team full autonomy to manage updates in real time.
Handled properly, migrations to Webflow maintain or even improve SEO performance. We preserve redirects, meta data, and structured content, while faster page speed and cleaner code often lead to better rankings post-launch.
Squarespace is a template-based builder for small businesses. Webflow, on the other hand, offers full design freedom, custom CMS collections, and enterprise-level scalability. It’s ideal for brands that want creative control and technical flexibility.
Wix is beginner-friendly but limited in scalability and customization. Webflow is built for designers and teams that want professional-grade visuals, responsive layouts, and performance optimization — without giving up ease of use.
In most cases, yes. Webflow supports custom code embeds, API integrations, and component-based frameworks that rival custom builds — at a fraction of the cost and maintenance. It’s a great choice for teams who need flexibility without a full dev stack.
Absolutely. Webflow’s Enterprise tier supports complex content structures, multi-language sites, and advanced integrations. Many global brands use Webflow to manage high-traffic, multi-team environments with full control and security.
For small to mid-size stores, yes. Webflow eCommerce offers full design flexibility, CMS-driven product pages, and Stripe or PayPal integration. Shopify remains stronger for large inventories or complex logistics, but Webflow wins on design and branding freedom.
