About The Webflow Website Development System

‍

Aimed at website designers and website development specialists, Webflow is a no-code website design and development tool.

It can be used for making mobile ready, fluid responsive websites such as business websites, landing pages, eCommerce sites, blogs, and more.

It also has a CMS (content management system) - for easy website data and content management - and it's also a AWS hosting platform. This gives you the option to be able to make routine updates to your website from your own computer.

Pennine Website Development now exclusively make websites using Webflow.

I use the Relume component library system in conjunction with Webflow. Relume provides client-first, standardised CSS (A layout and design language that provides your web browser information about the design of your website).

Being client-first it means that your website can be easily managed and expanded in the future by myself.

I can make your website for you without you having to do anything other than provide some information about your business and products or services.

Webflow vs Wordpress

There are a few reasons why someone might choose to use Webflow instead of WordPress for building a website:

Design flexibility: Webflow allows you to design and build your website visually, without having to write any code.

Performance: Webflow sites are typically faster and more lightweight than WordPress sites, because they are built with cleaner code and don't have to load as many third-party plugins and resources.

Ease of use: Webflow has a more intuitive interface than WordPress, which can make it easier for non-technical users to manage their websites.

Advanced features: Webflow offers features like animations, interactions, and e-commerce integration that can be difficult or impossible to achieve with WordPress without writing custom code.

That being said, WordPress is a very powerful and popular platform, and it may be the best choice for certain types of websites or for users with specific needs. It's worth considering both options and deciding which one is the best fit for your project.

History of Webflow

Webflow was founded in 2013 by designers Vlad Magdalin, Sergie Magdalin, and Bryant Chou.

Webflow was initially created as a tool for designers to prototype and design websites, but it has since evolved into a full-featured platform that includes features such as e-commerce functionality and the ability to build custom websites.

Webflow has gained popularity among designers and developers for its intuitive interface and ability to quickly build and publish websites. It has also been recognised for its focus on responsive design and the use of modern web design technologies such as CSS Grid and Flexbox.

Webflow is headquartered in San Francisco, California and has a team of over 200 employees.
