- rchaud 5y agoBoth have vendor lock-in though. A WordPress site is portable, it runs on anything with PHP and MySQL. SQspace and Webflow only run on their own servers.
- pembrook 5y agoWebflow has zero lock-in. It spits out static sites with standard semantic HTML/CSS and you can take the code anywhere. They also have an API, so you can export collections. Squarespace, yes, you're locked in. Re: the portability of Wordpress, I'm not sure how many Wordpress site migrations you've done...but I wouldn't use the word "portable" to describe the process.
- rchaud 5y agoWebflow HTML on its own is useless because it is not dynamic. You still have to set up code snippets inside the markup so it can display the menu, or post and page information stored in the database or flat files of whatever CMS you're using. Webflow CMS solves that problem, but with vendor lock-in.
- michelb 5y agoWebflow is ok, but you still need to customise a ton by hand and it gets slow really quickly for a decent site. Squarespace is way too locked in.
