Visual web design tool that writes real HTML and CSS as you work, with a CMS, hosting, code export and an AI section builder.
Webflow is a visual web design tool that writes HTML, CSS and JavaScript as you work. Designers lay out pages with real web concepts such as boxes, classes and breakpoints, and Webflow either hosts the result or lets you export the code. Its CMS handles blogs and other repeating content, and its AI features can generate page sections and help with copy.
It suits freelancers, agencies and in-house marketing teams who want full control over design without hand-coding, and who are willing to learn how web layout works. A common pattern is to design in Figma, build in Webflow, then hand the CMS to editors who update content without touching the layout.
The learning curve is steeper than a template builder. Plans are split between site plans and workspace plans, so check which one covers what you need. Exported code does not keep CMS pages working, so if hosting elsewhere matters, plan for that before you build.
