Why is Webflow better than Wordpress?

Webflow allows you to build fully custom, scalable websites. Webflow is your builder and hosting in one. It also has many features that would require plugins when using Wordpress.

That means you get the cleanest semantic code we have ever seen. Pages load incredibly fast and your SEO will be far better than other platforms. Ask us about it.

Webflow components allow you to design a Nav bar/footer/etc once and place it anywhere else on your website. This means you can build pages incredibly fast.

What is a Webflow CMS collection?

A Webflow CMS collection holds all of your CMS items. Let's say you had a blog, this would be one CMS collection with a CMS item for each blog. Let's say you had an employee/team collection. Each team member would be a CMS item within the team collection. Let's go one step further. For each team member you have an image, job title, bio and fun fact. Each of these would be a field within each CMS item. They would of course be different for each team member. It may be helpful to think of it like a spreadsheet. To recap: A Webflow CMS collection holds CMS items with hold CMS fields.

Can Webflow integrate with Shopify?

Yes and no. The simplest solution is to use the Shopify Buy Button, but that isn't always a great solution. Another solution is to build a custom integration and pass data back and forth for every product. This again would be incredibly difficult to manage. For most businesses it wouldn't be worth the cost to setup. A simple solution would be to simply link to your Shopify product pages. This causes a poor UX and could have a severe impact on conversions. Another option is to just use Webflow e-commerce. This comes with it's own set of limitations. Need to come up with a solution for this? Ask us about how we can help!
