@@MoinMeister-hz8bd It is simple. You can read the wordpress code play with apis and databases, scale unlimited, adding more features and functions. You can change hosting anytime. But in webflow, you can't do those things. It's very hard to change one technology to another.
That’s subjective and not always true. When you account for setup time/cost and maintenance cost, they could be equal in the long run.

One downside with Webflow is the missing email service, which you have when you set up your website with wordpress on some server. What solution do you recommend your clients who want to use webflow?
I like the open-source nature of wordpress and the ability to use any CMS and plugins that I like. I Can literally do more stuffs using code on the Elementor Pro plugin. Thanks for sharing your opinions on wordpress.
But Elementor has absolutely abysmal performance compared to Webflow. And 99% of the plugins for WordPress just introduce features that are standard on every other platform, with the added cost of introducing a bunch of security risks.

You're right. I'm so tired of all the errors when clents don't pay for maintenance than calling when their site crashes. After this year, I'm done. 🤦🏾♀️
Perhaps one of the issues with wordpress is that it has become so big and trying to be everything to everyone. High complexity = repairs and babysitting.

Hey, noy Ran, but I would really recommend you build in webflow from scratch, especially if you're just starting out. The figma plugin will work on simple layout, but on more complex layouts, you will have to build from scratch in webflow and use your figma design as referemce.

Great video Ran. Even when you ultimately end up doing a little technical stuff, it’s just so much more fun with Webflow. Also with Wordpress having a few troubles lately, maybe open source isn’t that cracked up to what it’s supposed to be.
My friend and I go after clients who are on WordPress because we’re developers and designers that have experience in marketing. Webflow gives us more time for other stuff like making social media content and ads for businesses instead of maintenance or paying someone for a website that doesn’t really help them grow.
WordPress offers greater flexibility and scalability with its vast ecosystem of plugins and themes, making it ideal for complex, customizable websites. Unlike Webflow, it supports full control over code and is more cost-effective for larger projects.
Your are right that's why I prefer Webflow and and Framer over WordPress and the other reason with WordPress. There seem to be a new argument every other week about something nothing is left another headache you have to deal with.
Framer has less overall functionality and possibility, but it’s catching up fast and it’s super easy to use. It’s basically Figma in a way. So the answer is the classic ‘it depends’. Even wix studio is pretty good now.
Webflow and WordPress are essentially totally different things. One is WYSIWYG editor, and the other is a proper CMS. BTW, if I had to recommend - Framer over Webflow, any day. Kirby CMS over WordPress.
Have created websites in both wordpress and webflow. And while there are some advantages to both systems, I never really felt that it gave me the flexibility I wanted to create a website. as good as psge builder is today with e.g. bricks and webflow, you just can't do quite the same thing as coding a page by hand. However, Wordpress is far too heavy and slow for this. so my choice fell on Statamic, which gives me the flexibility I wanted and can create a much more dynamic page than with webflow without it taking longer or requiring a lot of php code. However, it requires that you know html and css.
But i Love Framer. why ? fast to build, easy to learn and you don't have to pay to host site with framer domain you can host unlimited number of website with framer domain. also in my country webflow basic hosting plan = framer pro plan
@Sparksprint2023 if your client is OK with monthly payments go for webflow or they choose webflow but if they are miser or where you live coding and web design is less important or people don't know and you want to make a living go for WordPress. But webflow is not powerful as they advertise. They advertise because they need to earn money to pay for the servers and.... but WordPress team they let users advertise for them because they know how powerful it is
Dear Ran, You just started making videos based on a niche and you have to defend and like it, you couldn't get almost 1 milion followers if you started Wordpress tutorials since there is a lot of competition. That's all,
Try convincing an average client, that it's worth paying over $500 a year for a website they could have for $50 / year. If it works the same and achieve the same goals, why overpay x100 and not even own the website? And in my experience, the bigger company clients, pay more attention to cost than the "lower" clients who think paying more money, equals more value. Webflow is a tool for designers/developers, but clients don't care how the site is built, they need a site to be working, and at reasonable price. Webflow pricing has never been reasonable.
I primarely work in code and not low-code, however, i am a designer at heart and both are easy to use..webflow is basically figma so..maybe go for that if you know figma. Not really any issue with any of them, use whatever you are comfortable with. At the end of the day, that´s what matters. One thing must be said tho, the owner of one of those products seems a little..idk..let´s say triggerhappy.
A professional website can only be built using an open-source CMS or developed using a robust back-end framework. Otherwise, you lose critical control over essential aspects like CSS, database, and back-end language files (e.g., PHP). You also lack control over hosting and caching. And if the platform changes its pricing, forces you onto a more expensive plan, or suspends your account for violating one of their countless guidelines, you’re stuck with no way to migrate your website elsewhere. Basically, you don't truly own the website you think is yours. All these "no-code nice drag-and-drop UI" CMS platforms are just a Lego set for beginners, with severe consequences users often aren’t aware of when they decide to start using them. Cause they don't have knowledge to understand this. I’m not even mentioning the limitations when it comes to professional on-page SEO. Good for your mom's cooking blog. Nothing more.
@@FluxAcademy I'm aware of this. Don't know any really "huge" case though. Quite big - yes. I was even involved in optimizing couple of such websites.
