The options

The best Webflow alternatives, ranked.

Ranked for B2B marketing sites that have outgrown Webflow.

The short answer

Move to Astro. Run it with no CMS if your site changes a few times a month, or add Sanity if your team publishes every week.

  1. 01 Our pick We build this

    Astro, no CMS

    Best for marketing sites that change a few times a month.

    Astro builds plain, fast pages from code you own. With no CMS, your content lives right alongside that code, and changes ship when you ask for them: tell us, or type the change into an AI tool connected to your site. No dashboard to log into and no seats to pay for.

    How our AI-native sites work

    Why it’s good

    • The fastest pages of anything on this list
    • Hosting costs next to nothing
    • No seat fees and no plan limits
    • Every change reviewed and versioned

    Watch out for

    • No editing dashboard
    • Edits go through a request or an AI prompt
  2. 02 We build this

    Astro + Sanity

    Best for teams that publish every week.

    The same Astro site, with Sanity as the CMS. Your team gets a proper editing dashboard with drafts, previews and roles, and the site stays just as fast.

    Why it’s good

    • A real editor for blogs, case studies and resources
    • Content shaped around your business, not a template
    • Still as fast as plain Astro

    Watch out for

    • Sanity is another bill as your team grows
    • The content model needs a developer to set up
  3. 03 We build this

    Next.js + Sanity

    Best for sites that are turning into apps.

    When your site needs logins, dashboards or personalized pages, Next.js runs the website and the app from one codebase, with Sanity handling the content.

    Our apps and internal tools

    Why it’s good

    • Website and app in one place
    • Handles logins, accounts and live data
    • A huge ecosystem of tools

    Watch out for

    • Heavier than Astro for a plain marketing site
    • More to host and maintain
  4. 04 We build this

    Framer

    Best for small, design-led sites.

    The closest thing to Webflow: a visual builder designers pick up quickly, with great animation tools built in.

    Why it’s good

    • Very fast to design and publish
    • Great animations out of the box

    Watch out for

    • The same lock-in as Webflow
    • Plan and CMS limits, like Webflow
  5. 05 We build this

    WordPress

    Best for teams that need a specific plugin or already run WordPress.

    Runs a huge share of the web, with a plugin for almost everything. It’s open source, so you can host it anywhere and take it with you.

    Why it’s good

    • A plugin for almost anything
    • Open source, host it anywhere

    Watch out for

    • Plugins and updates need constant upkeep
    • Gets slow and insecure without care
  6. 06 We build this

    Stay on Webflow

    Best for teams whose designers live in the Webflow Designer.

    If your site fits inside Webflow’s limits and your team loves the visual editor, moving may not be worth it. We still design, build and support Webflow sites.

    Our Webflow services

    Why it’s good

    • Visual editing for designers
    • Hosting, forms and CMS in one place

    Watch out for

    • Costs grow with seats, locales and CMS items
    • Harder to leave the bigger you get

Why teams leave

Where Webflow starts to pinch.

Webflow is great until your site, team or content grows past it. These are the reasons we hear most.

Costs that grow with your team

Editor seats, extra locales and more CMS items each push you up a plan. The bill tracks your headcount, not your traffic.

CMS limits

Caps on items, collections and fields mean bigger content sites eventually hit a wall.

A site you can’t take with you

You can export the HTML and CSS, but not a working CMS. Your site only really runs on Webflow.

Extra weight on every page

Webflow loads its own scripts on every page, which makes a perfect speed score hard to reach.

No real developer workflow

No Git and no pull requests. Custom code lives in embed boxes, where it’s hard to review or test.

AI tools work best on code

The best AI coding tools edit code in a repo. A site that lives inside the Designer gets less out of them.

How we move you

Leaving Webflow, step by step.

Every page, CMS item and URL accounted for.

1. Map everything

We crawl your Webflow site and list every page, CMS item, form, script and redirect, so nothing gets left behind.

2. Rebuild and move

Your design is rebuilt in Astro as clean components, or redesigned while we’re at it. CMS content moves into the code or into Sanity.

3. Redirect and launch

Every old URL points to its new home, titles and meta tags carry over, and we watch Search Console after launch.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

What is the best alternative to Webflow?

For most B2B marketing sites, Astro. It’s faster, cheaper to run and you own the code. Add Sanity as the CMS if your team publishes every week. If you want another visual builder, Framer is the closest match to Webflow.

Is Astro better than Webflow?

For speed, running costs and owning your site, yes. Webflow is better if your designers want to build visually and never touch code. With Astro, you change the site by asking for what you want, or through Sanity, instead of dragging boxes around.

Can we edit an Astro site without a CMS?

Yes. Your content lives with the code, and changes ship when you ask for them: tell us, or type the change into an AI tool connected to your site. Every change is reviewed and versioned. If your team would rather have a dashboard, add Sanity.

When do we need Sanity?

When several people publish often: a blog, case studies, docs or a resource library. Sanity gives them a dashboard with drafts, previews and roles, and the site stays just as fast.

Will we lose our SEO rankings if we leave Webflow?

A careful move shouldn’t cost you rankings. We keep your URLs where we can, redirect every one that changes, carry over titles, descriptions and structured data, and watch Search Console after launch.

Can we export our site from Webflow?

Partly. Paid plans can export HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but not a working CMS. CMS collections export separately as CSV files. That’s why most moves off Webflow are a rebuild rather than a copy.

How long does it take to move off Webflow?

It depends on how many pages and CMS items you have. We’ll map your site and give you a clear timeline on the call.

Do you still build on Webflow?

Yes. If Webflow is the right fit for your team, we’ll tell you, and we still design, build and support Webflow sites.
