Webflow and WordPress development

Which platform, and why it matters

For most small businesses the choice comes down to Webflow or WordPress. Webflow gives you a fast, secure site with a visual editor and no plugins to keep patched. WordPress gives you the largest ecosystem and a dashboard many people already know, and suits sites that need memberships, complex booking or plugins you rely on today.

We build on both, so the recommendation is based on your business and budget, not on what we prefer. If selling online is the main job, we will point you to Shopify and say so.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Webflow or WordPress, which should I choose?

Webflow if you want speed, security and a clean editor with nothing to patch. WordPress if you need specific plugins, memberships or a team that already knows the dashboard. We recommend one on the call and tell you why.

Why don't you show prices?

Because the number depends on how many pages you need, whether we are writing the copy, and features like booking or ecommerce. A short call gives us enough to send a fixed quote, and it costs you nothing.

Can you move my existing site to Webflow or WordPress?

Yes. We rebuild the design on the new platform and keep your URLs, or redirect them, so you do not lose your Google rankings in the move.

Will I be able to update the site myself?

Yes. Webflow's Editor and WordPress's dashboard both let you change text, images and blog posts. We record a walkthrough and stay available if you get stuck.

What about hosting and ongoing costs?

Webflow includes hosting in its plan. WordPress needs a host, which we can set up and manage for you. We set out the ongoing costs before you commit so there are no surprises.
