At Essential Downtime, we help businesses get online and grow. One of the best tools we use to do that is a platform called Webflow. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s okay! We’ll explain why it outperforms other platforms and how it helps you.

‍

The Benefits of Using Webflow

Looks Exactly How You Want It

With Webflow, we’re not stuck using pre-made templates. We design your site to match your brand, style, and goals without any guesswork. It is tailored for you!

‍

Faster Launch Times

Webflow helps us build websites quickly and efficiently. That means your site gets up and running faster

‍

No Need for Plugins or Extra Software

Everything your website needs like fast loading, mobile-friendly design, and security is already built in. You don’t need to worry about installing or updating anything.

‍

Easy to Edit Later

Want to change a photo or update text on your site? We empower our clients with Webflow’s editor role to be able to make changes with just a few clicks.

‍

Search Engine Friendly

Webflow allows us to design your site so that it loads quickly, works well on phones, and follows best practices for search engines—giving you a better chance to be found online organically.

Common Issues Building On Other Web Design Platforms

‍

WordPress vs Webflow

‍

Plugin Overload

WordPress relies on dozens of plugins that often break, conflict, or require constant updates. Webflow has everything built-in.

‍

Slower Turnaround

Setting up WordPress (themes, hosting, plugins, security) takes time. Webflow projects launch faster with fewer moving parts.

‍

Confusing for Clients

The WordPress dashboard is cluttered and risky to edit. Webflow’s Editor is simple & safe for clients to update content without stress.

‍

Wix & Squarespace vs Webflow

‍

Template Restrictions

You’re stuck working within a limited layout system. Webflow offers full creative freedom from the ground up.

‍

Not Built to Scale

Template based platforms work for some, but they are unable to seamlessly adapt when your needs grow. Webflow grows with you.

‍

Limited Screen Size Control

With Wix or Squarespace, mobile edits are clunky and restricted by the template’s cookie-cutter screen sizing. With Webflow, we craft fully custom tablet and mobile layouts tailored to your brand.

‍

Custom Code vs Webflow

‍

Takes Way Longer

Custom code builds are notoriously time consuming. Webflow gives us precisely the same control that comes from custom code with drastically faster delivery.

‍

Hard to Maintain

Sites built with custom code need a developer for every change. With Webflow, you and your team can make instantaneous updates on content, copy, & images.

‍

High Long-Term Costs

Every little fix requires a developer, which costs you every time. Webflow reduces dependency on a code developer without sacrificing performance, custom design, or scalability.

‍

If you can’t tell, we absolutely love Webflow!

Whether it’s a simple landing page or an elaborate site with custom animations, we can create something beautiful that highlights your brand and reaches your target audience. Webflow makes managing your content simple, fast, and hassle-free, allowing you more time to focus on growing your business.”
