Webflow CMS
Webflow CMS · San Francisco, California, United States · founded 2013
What it is
Webflow CMS is a hosted content management system for creating and managing dynamic websites on a visual canvas. Teams can edit content in context and see changes rendered in real time. CMS Collections group items under a shared template, such as blog posts or office locations. Editorial tools include draft previews, granular publishing controls, comments, and on-canvas editing, while SEO tools cover metadata and alt text. Webflow also supports localized site experiences and provides headless CMS APIs for serving content in and out of the platform. The free Starter plan includes a Webflow.io domain, limited CMS, two static pages, 1 GB bandwidth, and 50 form submissions. Paid plans start at $25 per month billed annually; the Premium plan includes 20,000 CMS items and 40 CMS Collections. Webflow runs in a browser rather than as a downloadable app and officially supports recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari versions, but not Internet Explorer. Code export can include HTML and CSS, but dynamic CMS items and pages cannot be exported.
