Visit Webflow →About Webflow
Webflow is a visual builder that lets designers produce production-grade HTML, CSS and JavaScript without writing code, backed by a built-in CMS and hosting. That visual designer remains the core of the product.
There are no numbered versions. As of October 2026 Webflow's homepage still describes it as 'the agentic web platform for modern businesses.' Recent updates include the MCP server now working inside Google Gemini, agents gaining access to Analyze, Optimize and AEO Analytics data, a new Box element with global tag selectors, shared global tag styles in Libraries, and agentic translation added to Localize. The Legacy Editor was fully deprecated on October 5, 2026, so all page editing now requires a Workspace seat. At Webflow Conf 2026 the company also previewed Source, a limited research-preview tool that connects a codebase and martech stack to run always-on agents, along with a beta 'Campaigns' tool for generating landing pages and ad variants and a beta 'Assets' tool for on-brand creative built on the acquired Vidoso.
Core capabilities remain the visual designer with clean code output, a CMS that scales up to 20,000 items and 40 Collections on the Premium plan, built-in hosting, and an MCP server available even on the free tier for connecting AI tools to a site.
Pricing is split across site plans, platform plans, and separate Ecommerce and Workspace plans. The Starter site plan is free, running on a webflow.io subdomain with limited CMS and 2 static pages. Basic is $15/mo billed yearly ($25/mo billed monthly) for a custom domain, and Premium is $25/mo billed yearly ($39/mo billed monthly) for the full CMS, code components, and site search. The Team platform plan starts at $2,500/mo and requires an annual contract, with Enterprise available on custom quote. Add-on tools include Optimize from $299/mo, Analyze from $9/mo, and Localize from $9/mo (Essential) or $29/mo (Advanced). Webflow also offers a free Starter Workspace and paid Workspace tiers that bundle AI credits, and separate Ecommerce plans, but current pricing for those tiers was not independently verified.
The main trade-offs are a steep learning curve for the visual designer, costs that stack once a site plan is combined with a paid Workspace plan, AI credits that are metered and can run out on heavier use, and several of the newest agentic features (Source, Campaigns, Assets) still being in limited research preview or beta rather than generally available. The Legacy Editor's deprecation also means every editor now needs a paid Workspace seat.
