I have been using Webflow Business - Enterprise for two years for my current company, Mobex, which is based in USA in Tampa, Florida. I built their website using Webflow Business - Enterprise because Mobex is a telecommunication provider in the USA and UK. They have expanded recently in the UK. The website was very comprehensive and detailed with multiple pricing pages, CMS elements, and various other components. We had to upgrade to the enterprise level around 1.5 years ago to accommodate these needs.

One of Mobex's web pages involved creating a comprehensive pricing page where we built multiple slider pages within one parent page displaying all their current pricing offerings to customers. This allows any user to visit, check out their pricing, and either contact or make payment via the website.

I can point to two measurable outcomes that have resulted from using Webflow Business - Enterprise. First, we experienced faster website deployment and increased leads. It is very easy to make changes and publish them before deploying to the main domain. You can also check it on the Webflow site to see what changes you made and how they are loading and appearing. After using Webflow, our bounce rate came down significantly. When we had the WordPress website, it was very dull and not a lot of content was rendering due to JavaScript issues. When people don't see an attractive website, they typically bounce off. Now we have many leads incoming, with many people filling our forms, checking out their pricing, and contacting us. We also checked our website using the LLMO Chrome extension that Adobe offers and saw that we have 100% readability for AI search engines or large language models, which is a very good score. All of this is credited to Webflow Business - Enterprise.

There are many aspects in which Webflow Business - Enterprise can improve because in an ideal world, everything would be perfect. Technology and humans are ever evolving, and after AI came, it made a difference in every aspect altogether. There are a few things that Webflow Business - Enterprise can improve on. Right now, everything runs very smoothly for me and my company, so there isn't anything particular that I could point out at the moment. Webflow is working on AI integration, and they could add more features to support this.

One of the main things that hinders me while working on Webflow is copying elements and copying page layouts from one page to another. When copying that structure from one page to another, the layout sometimes changes. If you were to visit the website that I created, many pages have the same header and footer with the same overall structure, but the elements, images, and specific layouts keep changing. I guess this might be purposely done on Webflow, but it does cause some problems for Webflow developers. Overall, Webflow is great if you have a good understanding of it. It is a learning curve, and we can keep learning and improving our understanding. Another issue I encountered almost six to eight months ago was that I laid out some elements on the page according to the sizing and padding that I wanted. When I published it on the main site, the layout was different or the alignment was not the same, even though in the backend it appeared correct. I faced this problem for a couple of months, but it resolved on its own. I assume that with every platform and every tech product, there are bugs, and agile development with continuous improvement is necessary. That is what Webflow did, which is why I give them a nine.

I have been using Webflow Business - Enterprise for two years.

When I started using Webflow two years ago, it was a very new concept for me, so I had to learn everything from scratch. My bosses provided me with a dedicated Webflow trainer whom I connected with on Upwork, and this person was my mentor for almost six months in the beginning. They helped me understand Webflow Business - Enterprise, how Webflow works, the elements, div containers, how to build everything from scratch, and understand the sizing, padding, layout, and formats. Now I am able to freely build pages on Webflow.

Webflow is very comprehensive in understanding the SEO part and geolocation features if you are a business wanting to work in multiple countries. The domain connection at the backend of Webflow also has forms where users can visit your website and fill out forms. You can check those forms at the backend and connect your email to receive notifications if anyone fills out a form. Webflow is a very large, supportive, and user-friendly platform that anyone can use to create their website and accomplish much more with it. I really hope that many more people start using Webflow because none of my peers have used it, and many people migrate towards Wix or WordPress, which are outdated. Overall, Webflow is very good if you want to tap into it and get started, and it is great for big businesses using Webflow Business - Enterprise. If your business is large scale with more employees or if you want to take it to the next level, Webflow Business - Enterprise is the right choice.

Some features include CMS elements and geolocation options. Those features come under the plan if you want more pages, such as 200 to 300 plus pages on your website. Webflow Business - Enterprise is great for that because many features are unlocked when using this tier. If you are a big business with many employees or want to advance to the next level and make a very comprehensive website with many features, you can unlock them using Webflow's enterprise offering.

For CMS, we use blogs because my company uses many blogs. We use that to create our blog content. Geolocation is important because we recently made advancement into the United Kingdom. Initially, our domain was mobex.biz or mobex.us, and entering any of those into the URL would direct you to mobex.biz, which was the US website of Mobex. We wanted to expand to the UK with a dedicated website that is similar in every way except for pricing in pounds due to UK requirements and UK-specific blogs. Webflow provided us with mobex.biz/uk as an add-on feature. This is how it worked for me personally.

When I was not part of the company, they were using WordPress, and the moment I joined, there was a migration to Webflow. This was a huge shift because WordPress is very outdated. Using Webflow unlocked new levels of creativity within the team. As the sole person dedicated to their social media, digital marketing, content marketing, and website creation, I initially faced a learning curve, but once I got the hang of it, it became very easy to use.

Webflow holds webinars that you can attend, and they are continuously evolving. I recently attended a webinar where they were integrating AI into Webflow, which is very beneficial. It helps you build websites more quickly and efficiently. Being in touch with the latest technology is something I have seen Webflow doing consistently. I have encountered very few problems in the two years, maybe two or three times. When I reached out to the team, they were very helpful and stayed in contact with us continuously, even checking in and following up after the issue was resolved. That support experience was excellent.

Initially we had the normal plan and the CMS plan, then we upgraded to the Business - Enterprise plan through Webflow. We connected it after contacting their support because Webflow Business - Enterprise is the final tier that requires you to purchase after contacting their support team.

My bosses provided me with a dedicated Webflow trainer whom I connected with on Upwork, and this person was my mentor for almost six months in the beginning two years ago. They helped me understand Webflow Business - Enterprise, how Webflow works, the elements, div containers, how to build everything from scratch, and understand the sizing, padding, layout, and formats. Now I am able to freely build pages on Webflow.

I am very happy with how Webflow Business - Enterprise works. I have already mentioned the few nuances where I faced problems, but except for those, I am very happy with Webflow. I will continue using Webflow instead of migrating to other platforms, and I believe more people should too.

I would offer two pieces of advice. First, have patience because learning how to build pages and websites on Webflow is a learning curve, especially for someone who has not used it before. In my personal experience, when I started using Webflow two years ago, I had no prior experience. It was a definite learning curve for me, and only after receiving some guidance and learning on my own by experimenting with elements, containers, and layouts was I able to build pages efficiently.

Second, go for Webflow Business - Enterprise if you have a large business. When we started, our business was very small with only a few customers, so using the beginner levels of plans that Webflow offered was the most logical choice. As we moved forward and grew our customer base, we received many leads and customers, which allowed us to upgrade to the enterprise plan that Webflow offers. My overall rating for Webflow Business - Enterprise is nine out of ten.

My main use case for Webflow Business - Enterprise is to build websites using quick technologies rather than having to spin up an entire WordPress instance or having to utilize complex HTML wireframes.

I used Webflow Business - Enterprise to develop a website when I wanted to get a website off the ground quickly, and also, my friend had created the website in Webflow for me originally, so I saw no need to transfer out.

I created a website, caleb-miller.webflow.io, which is my personal music website, just as a hobby website. I intentionally did it in Webflow because the first person who did it built it in Webflow. In Webflow, I did the entire site in about three eight-hour days. If it was a WordPress site, to get the same front-end functionality, it would have been at least another day's worth of work to spin up the whole infrastructure and then probably another day to build it out in Elementor just because Elementor is more technically complex. Webflow is quick, so I would say it saved me about two days of development time for a standard six-page user website.

The best features Webflow Business - Enterprise offers is the ability to create web pages quickly without using customized code and to create web pages as if I were painting a picture or creating a diagram.

When I say it is like painting a picture or creating a diagram, I mean that I can come up with ideas in my head and I can put them down on the paper quicker, as long as they are not complex. I would not want to build an actual app in Webflow, but if I have an idea for a very simple design, something that does not utilize a bunch of elements jumping around the page, then I can do that easily using Webflow. I really would love to look into using it more in the future for quick builds; I work for somebody right now and might use it for them.

Webflow Business - Enterprise has impacted my organization positively by providing a tool that gives a quick alternative to using WordPress because the whole WordPress hosting and server setup, doing mail SMTP, getting all the core plugins installed, it is good, but it is just a lot. I feel that Wix is a little too basic. Webflow offers a nice intermediate value product where I do not feel like I am playing with Duplo bricks, but I am not building a 15,000 piece Lego set either.

I think Webflow Business - Enterprise could be improved by adding more visibility into whatever the equivalent of plugins are, so that if I wanted to build a map into my Webflow site, it would be super easy or it would be super nice if I just had something right there in the UI that was equivalent to a WordPress plugin. I do not know how it works, and I did not see anything in the Webflow builder that allowed me to put more complex front-end components in, but I could not do anything equivalent to a plugin that was immediately available to see, so that would be cool.

I have been using Webflow Business Enterprise for three months.

In my experience, Webflow Business - Enterprise is stable.

I find Webflow Business - Enterprise's scalability for my needs satisfactory.

Support is pretty important nowadays, because in the age of AI, for instance, I understand that this interview is helping you save time, but it really is not super professional or it does not make me view PeerSpot in a very good light. Just having good chat support, honestly, chat support or email support is fine. If somebody gets back to me in a day, that is totally fine; I do not need it right away and most people do not.

My experience with customer support for Webflow Business - Enterprise is that it was good even though I did not use them.

Negative

I previously used WordPress before Webflow Business - Enterprise.

I just use whatever is on Webflow; I do not pay for anything; I just use the free tier.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Webflow Business - Enterprise is that I use it for free, and honestly, the free version is pretty good. I just need to have .webflow.io at the end, but for a free website, that is really not bad.

My full name is Caleb Miller, I am a WordPress Architect and Full-stack Engineer, and I am self-employed and a contractor at Pearl Marketing.

I have not seen any return on investment because I created the website just to learn Webflow and also just to get my music out there; the point of my music is not to generate revenue. I have not really used it for any actual client sites; that is all WordPress.

Pricing is pretty standard, so nothing there.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Webflow Business - Enterprise.

The advice I would give to others looking into using Webflow Business - Enterprise is that if you are not a bonafide web developer, having not learned HTML, JavaScript, PHP, and other programming fundamentals, then go with Webflow. Honestly, it is fun, and you are going to have a fun time with it. Chances are, you are not really going to be able to make a super competitive site. One of the more important things that I have to say about it is that the version that I saw was not really competitive, in that it did not provide the same capabilities as other websites I saw. I see Webflow as a toy product still, just because it just has not reached that level. It is good; that is the angle. I do not want to give mixed signals here, but Webflow should not try to make another WordPress, another Shopify, or another Wix. They should do exactly what they are doing and just minutely hone it, because once you break into that A-list threshold doing your thing, then your product is really going to take off. It has already taken off, but it is not quite there for me yet; that would be my advice. I would give this product a rating of 8.
