Users have to go through a very simplified setup process
The tool could have some built-in support for a wide variety of frameworks. I have seen that the tool is majorly biased towards Next.js because it is one of Vercel's products. If Vercel can expand that to many other back-end frameworks as well and maybe somehow delve into the deployment and DevOps for Android and iOS apps, it would be good. I don't know the nuances behind deploying an Android or iOS app, but maybe if Vercel could figure that out, then it would be good. What I have experienced is that even if I coded an Android app, it is kind of very complex and difficult to get it live on the Google Play Store and deal with all the complexities that come with such a platform. In one of my projects, I was implementing the ChatGPT API to function like a chatbot on a client's website. I saw that the APIs need serverless functions, and these are supposed to be deployed on Vercel. When it comes to serverless edge functions, Vercel sometimes kind of messes up. If there is one chatbot and 100 users are trying to chat with it at once, it gets messed up, even if it is a small number. The above-mentioned area in Vercel could be improved. I know the tool will improve because it covers a lot of space in the front-end development domain.

Enhanced flexibility and design capabilities attract new clients
The best features Webflow offers are the design features, so we can build whatever we want in terms of coding, and also the ready features that are included, which we can guide easily. It's not only drag and drop, it also makes us build our own designs for example on Figma ( /products/figma-reviews ) and then code the same on Webflow where it provides us more flexibility in terms of applying what we want to apply, where we didn't have these options or features in the previous platform that we were using.The flexibility Webflow has offered has helped my team apply whatever they wanted, which was important for us. This flexibility allowed us to build a better website, and it allowed our clients or prospective clients to find us easier on Google, understand from our website what we do, and reach out to us while on our previous platform that we were using, which was Wix. We were not getting any reach outs or forms filled in, but in Webflow, lots of clients reach out to us and we converted them into clients. In terms of the numbers, while we were getting zero reach outs from clients on Wix, here we got around 100 messages in these two years. While some were spam too, the important thing was people started to fill these forms and from here we converted three clients. So from zero to three converted clients minimum. The CMS in Webflow has been built by my team, and because we have the clear CMS, we can go in at the blogs as much as we want. Everything is fixed over there. The only thing that we need to do is add the right text on the CMS, and this is getting published directly on the website, which is friendly with our web design, and everything has been planned beforehand. Webflow has positively impacted my organization in terms of branding. We can really reflect what our brand is, company values, and how much we give importance to brand. The second is time efficiency in terms of moving forward quickly with the CMS and updating the content we want. With a better branding that we can reflect on Webflow, this helps us showcase more of our professional look and also our creativity. Webflow has helped me save time by allowing us to update content and launch new pages efficiently. Before, we were not giving importance to uploading case studies or blogs because it was not SEO friendly. So from nothing, we started to update regularly our case studies, build case studies, and also regularly update blogs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is pretty stable. I haven't found any bugs."
"Vercel provides hands-on experience they provide for hosting services. Initially, we started with hosting, and I found it impressive that Vercel identifies even minor issues in your project that might prevent your website from being hosted correctly. For example, if there is a small problem in your front end, Vercel will notify you that your site hasn’t been hosted yet and provide the specific file and line number where the issue is occurring. It is definitely an easy tool to use. It provides clear instructions on how to handle everything, even if you're not very familiar with coding. It has a seamless integration with GitHub. We connected our private repository to Vercel, and it directly indicates any issues with the website whenever we commit code. Even if we've done all the changes and committed to the repo, Vercel lets us know about any flaws that would prevent the website from functioning fully. Once the final commit happens, Vercel gives a green tick, indicating no issues. It was a very easy and good experience, with great integration with other tools."
"I think the speed of the tool is good."
"It provides continuous integration and continuous deployment capabilities."
"I like Vercel the most for its ease of use, especially with Next.js. Its UI is user-friendly, and the solution is easy to learn. I was a beginner when I created my portfolio website with the tool."
"It is easy to learn. If you want to deploy your site, it's easy to do."
"I like most that whatever you make in GitHub is directly linked. It does CI/CD, continuous integration and continuous deployment."
"What I like most about Vercel is that it's easy to set up CI/CD. I can get my site running and sharing with just a few clicks. It automatically builds and deploys new code when I commit to my repository. It provides temporary domains for each deployment, making sharing and previewing changes easy. I get three subdomains under the tool that I can use to share my site. I can easily view logs, too. It's great for starting projects, as I can use it for free as an individual. I find it simple to share repositories and deployments with anyone worldwide."
"Webflow has positively impacted my organization in terms of branding."
 

Cons

"I've been using the solution for a while now, and while I haven't encountered major issues, there is room for improvement. The main problem I've noticed is with the error logs. They often lack information and only indicate that a file is missing without specifying the actual cause of the error. This makes troubleshooting difficult, as running the app locally might show the error in the console, but on Vercel, it just crashes without providing useful details."
"The product's build time needs enhancement. It currently takes up to four minutes to build my projects for every deployment, which is lengthy."
"If I could add a feature to Vercel to make my life easier, I would add a user journey feature for new users. This would guide them with tips on exploring the platform, showing them the routes for deployment and functions they can use. This way, users can understand all the features without upgrading to premium to see their benefits."
"Due to RBI guidelines, we're facing issues with billing in India. Credit card payments often get declined even when we try to pay from the backend. Another problem is paying 20 dollars for each new project, even under one account. This seems odd since we already pay for one project with multiple hosts."
"If you're not using Edge Functions, Vercel only allows 20 seconds of streaming from the backend. They should allow more time for backend streaming without Edge Functions. This is one thing that Vercel can improve."
"What I could feel is that it should have some work for when we commit some type of error."
"I encountered an error in Vercel's routing in the React.js projects."
"Initially, Vercel was great for hosting projects built with frameworks like Next.js or React.js, with NPM or Node.js as the backend. Now, they seem to be expanding into offering templates and ready-made front-end and back-end setups, making it possible to host a website without writing any code. Personally, I don't like this shift because it reduces scalability and the ability to create unique, customized experiences. Code is essential, and moving towards more user-friendly, code-free tools might limit deeper development possibilities."
"I find that Webflow could be improved, as the dashboard design could be more user-friendly in terms of colors and brands."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I haven't paid for the solution yet. You need to pay to invite team members."
"It's quite expensive for enterprise use, but it's worth the price."
"As a DevOps person who has to consider the commercial aspects, I find it odd that we must pay $20 per user for each new project under a pro account. That's not what I expected. Additionally, there are charges based on bandwidth usage. We incur additional charges if we go beyond 1 TB or 2 TB. However, we can choose plans based on our specific requirements. So, while the per-project pricing and bandwidth-based charges can add up, we have some flexibility in selecting plans that fit our needs."
"If I cross the free version, I have heard from some people that the billing can be expensive."
"I use the solution's free version."
"Most of the product features are free, which is quite advantageous."
"Vercel is a bit costlier than other solutions like AWS."
"For most use cases requiring a small amount of storage, Vercel has a storage cap. Once you exceed that, they charge a nominal amount. I don’t think the storage is insufficient; you can use it for a long time."
