If you're considering Webflow, it's likely because you want great web design and performance without the high costs of building and maintaining a custom technology stack. That said, Webflow does introduce additional complexity over website builders that optimize for ease of use, such as Wix and Squarespace.
In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about Webflow pricing, including two crucial concepts to understand: Workspace and Site Plan.
When you create a Webflow account, you begin with a no-cost Starter Workspace. A Workspace is a home base for all your Webflow websites. You may only need a single website, but if the time comes when you want to add a second, third, or more, your Workspace is where you create and manage them.
A Workspace is also a collaborative environment. The Starter Workspace permits you to invite up to two Agency or Freelancer guests. If you found a great Webflow developer, invite them to your Workspace at no additional cost to create and update your new site.
If you need in-house team members to access your Workspace or more unhosted websites, then Webflow requires you to upgrade your Workspace.
Additionally, if you're a Freelancer or Agency, to gain access to client workspaces as a guest, Webflow requires you to upgrade your Workspace as well.
You must first add a Site Plan to publish an unhosted website on a custom domain. Site Plans are delineated based on whether it is a General or Ecommerce website.
If you don't plan to take advantage of Webflow's Ecommerce capabilities, then you'll have four options when selecting a paid plan:
If you're looking to set up an online store and sell products, then Webflow gives your three options:
Webflow offers a variety of options to get high-powered custom user experiences published on the web. It aims to be a solution for high-growth companies with multiple products and small businesses with more limited needs.
You may not need the seats and features of Webflow's advanced options, and if that's the case, you can launch a site at rates comparable to Wix and Squarespace. The difference is, Webflow is a platform that supports your growth rather than puts a ceiling on it.
It's worth a little time understanding why Webflow does things the way it does. I hope this article helps! If you need a more personalized recommendation on how to proceed with Webflow, please get in touch with me.
