What is Webflow?
Webflow is a website platform that offers designers almost unlimited possibilities to implement visually impressive and fast websites.
In Webflow, security, SEO, CMS experiments, responsive design for different devices, hosting, etc., are all included in one package.
Webflow is a closed system whose source code is hidden and is updated automatically in the background.
With Webflow, updating content and maintaining your site is easy, giving you full control and quick response as the page owner.
You can also build completely new landing pages with Webflow's page templates and components. Read more in my Webflow blog!
How much does a Webflow website cost?
The price of websites made by a professional can range from hundreds of euros to tens of thousands of euros.
The price is determined by the scope and content of the website.
Online stores and websites with complex structures are more expensive.
Outsourcing graphic design, content production, digital marketing, etc., takes the price easily into the tens of thousands.
My prices start at 3000€ for the design and implementation of a website.

Webflow Hosting Prices

On top of that, a few dozens a year go to managing the domain - the web address of your pages.
You don't need expensive maintenance contracts to manage updated add-ons, etc., because Webflow does not require them.

When is it time remake your company's website?
-If the layout and design of your site seems outdated or does not match the current look of your company's brand, it's time to consider an overhaul.
-When your business has expanded, changed its format, etc. and the old website no longer meets it's requirements.
-If your site is not responsive, meaning it doesn't provide a good user experience on mobile devices, it should have been updated a long time ago. Today, more than half of all browsing is done on the phone.
-Slow loading of your site affects the user experience and search engine visibility, which may be a sign of the need to revamp the site.
-When the security of your site is compromised or does not meet current security standards, an overhaul is necessary. If a "Not secure" text is next to your address in the bowser, it is worth acting immediately.
Keeping up with the competition sometimes requires refreshing the website to reflect the latest trends and technologies.
It's a bad thing if a visitor has to wonder if your business even exists anymore.
One time a client of mine wanted a new website because their old one was “just so Shi**y”.
So that, too, is a good reason to revamp the website if it makes your life difficult.
A website should make your life easier and provide new opportunities.
How long does it take to build a website?
I design and build a new website for your company in 3-5 weeks, depending on what you want to include.
Material for the website must be available to. me before the agreed start date for the project. Otherwise, we will not stay on schedule. Of course, you can edit the content of the finished website whenever you want.
Not all texts and images need to be in their final form, but without content we can't see what kind of website we are making.
I start building the website on the agreed date and it takes three to five weeks depending on the scope of the project.
Can I update the content of my website myself?
Yes.
With Webflow updating the content of your website is really easy for you.
Most of the content can be edited just by clicking on the text, image, link, etc.
CMS collections can be made to manage a blog, news, references and other frequently updated content. With its help, stuff stays in order and visually uniform.
I will personally guide you through the use of your website and show you how to update content.
From there, you can take care of everything yourself. You don't need me or expensive maintenance contracts
What are roles in Webflow?
Roles determine what each of your team members can do in Webflow. There are three different roles to choose from:
A Marketer can build pages using components and page templates, and update texts, images and CMS content.
A Content Editor can update texts, images and CMS content.
A Reviewer can view sites and leave comments.So depending on your role, you can add, edit and remove content with just a few clicks while seeing the changes in real time.
Webflow works even for those who consider themselves not very tech-savvy. You can't accidentally break your website.
If you can read emails and buy shoes online — you can use Webflow.
What are Webflow components and page templates?
Today's websites can be built so that you (the user) can create completely new pages yourself — without the design or technical side suffering.
In practice, here's how it works: In addition to regular pages, I build you ready-made page templates with a pre-built structure including navigation and footer. In between there's an empty space (component slot) that you fill yourself with ready-made building blocks that match your brand (components) — hero image, CTA box, contact form, text section, team presentation, whatever you want.
Then you simply add the text and image content you want to your chosen building blocks!

Is Webflow fast?
Yes.
Webflow generates efficient and optimized code, which helps improve site performance.
Webflow uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute site resources such as images and code to various servers worldwide. This reduces loading times and improves the responsiveness of the site.
On the other hand, the website must also be built to be fast and designed to ensure the most seamless user experience for the visitor.
How is Webflow's security?
Webflow ensures security with SSL encryption, DDoS attack protection and automatic backups of sites.
Webflow is responsible for hosting services, which means that it contributes to the security of websites and the security of the servers.
Any add-ons (Webflow Apps) are monitored and kept up-to-date and safe for you.
In addition, Webflow offers secure payment solutions for online stores.
Webflow users can improve their own security with strong passwords, two-step authentication, and up-to-date user permissions.
