Webflow has some huge constraints when you’re trying to actually build a good marketing page.
Try framer instead, the fact that you can rely on React for anything that’s not possible to do in the visual editor is a life saver and actually enables you to build sites that are on-par with traditional headless CMS plus meta framework stacks while still being just as easy (if not easier) to maintain by non-technical users.
The only problem is the price-tag which means you’ll be outpriced for small personal projects but it’s still a good deal for startups and bigger companies.
- pembrook 3y agoI'm surprised you'd say Webflow has the constraints vs. Framer. Framer definitely seems promising but is way too limited and basic at the moment. They don't even have an API, and the CMS just feels super sandboxed. Good luck doing any of the programmatic SEO stuff you can do with Webflow. I'm confident they'll get there in a few years though.

Devs create content blocks as React components with inline visual editing and sidebar props, with constraints so that the design system cannot be broken. Content editors can use these Lego bricks of content with freedom, without breaking the design.
