Webflows localization feature is the biggest pile of crap
Webflows localization feature is the biggest pile of crap Ive ever dealt with overhyped unreliable and a total waste of time. Setting it up is a nightmare with clunky editing locked to the Designer making team updates impossible. But the real kicker? Localized text shows perfectly in the builder preview lulling you into thinking everythings fine. Then you publish and poof half the translations vanish into thin air! URLs break SEO tanks and your site looks like a half finished mess.
That preview is straight up trash its so misleading it tricks users into believing their work is ready only to sabotage everything on launch. Ive lost hours fixing invisible bugs and support? Useless with days long delays and zero fixes. At premium prices this feature is a scam that cost me clients. Avoid this steaming heap at all costs Im beyond unsatisfied and furious! Zero stars.

Webflow system damaged a backup recovery, I can't access my website nor edit, in a critical moment for us. After more than 24h only support is through tickets and I've received no response nor has it been fixed.
way to expensive for mediocre hosting
way to expensive for mediocre hosting. pay 100+ per month for a site. 30,- translation avaiable in 10 language(free plugin elsewhere ,pay to see website stats: 10k views per month 30,- (unlimited else where) and ofcourse pay 30,- for mediocre hosting
that 30,- standard hosting u need topay 2% free for everything u sell, otherwise 0% fee costs u 75,- month
so to pay webflow for a website to sell things costs u 2% of ur sales!(if u pay100/month) or pay +-150/month for 0%)
you need to pay for everything that is not a thing u need to pay for else where, it is expensive, there is no quick support (other hosting have live chat this is 1 week later email kind of thing, if i need anything i need support right away especially if u ask to pay 100+ per month for some little website)
oh and this is for 1! website u have 2 sites? i think its 200/month, 3? 300 per month. so yeah not for anyone just starting or anyone who wants to be profitable.. ouch
When it works, great, when doesn't, useless
When webflow works it is fantastic. However it works only half the time.
I cannot believe how unreliable this platform. Half the time it just doesn't save or load.
I am happy paying their prices however most platforms boast a 99.99% up time. I would say Webflow is 50-55% in reality.
The most Complicated thing I have ever seen
Building a website with Webflow is so complicated and 90% of the time stuff is just unfixable for me and chatgpt and it seems like no one knows the solution its so horrible please don't use Webflow
Great platform to build on - just expensive and unreliable
I'm not sure who made the business decisions in recent years, but it's become remarkably expensive for a platform that is unstable.
Want to add a new user to your workspace? Just upgrade it to the Freelancer workspace ($192 per annum) AND $468 per annum for the extra seat.
Want to add a user to a website project, to ensure business contingency for a client? Just add an admin seat for $45 per month.
Cool, so as an agency, with a team of 2, I need to pay $700 per annum, to sell the Webflow product?
If something should befall me, and I am unable to transfer projects to a client, they will need to go through some magical and unknown process to get their website from my account to their name. If my client is also concerned about business contingency, they need to cough up $49 per month (on top of their $29 - $49 per month billing package) to ensure that things don't go wrong.
It adds up to quite a lot of money, to build a business around it.
The platform has also recently had quite a few down time errors, making it impossible to work on client sites. This week, there are rolling blackouts on client sites, which affect ads, SEO and client experiences.
If you're looking to become an agency who builds Webflow sites, consider the product VERY CAREFULLY and the costs involved in selling it to clients.
If you're a business owner, you will need to know HTML, CSS and purchase third party applications (like Zapier) to integrate with other systems.
This is a terrible tool to destroy…
This is a terrible tool to destroy every nerve. I went through their academy, I also took courses on Udemy, and I still encounter such stupid bugs on my way... no words - this is a dead product and all websites built on it are potential corps
Pretty promises, rotten reality
Webflow lures you in with the promise of no-code, design-perfect websites — but once you’re in, it’s a total time sink. The editor is painfully slow, even on a top-notch machine. One user mentioned that even with an M3 MacBook and fast internet, the designer responds at like 5% speed — scrolling stutters, and you’re basically watching a slideshow whenever you try to move something.
Trying to do anything feels like a chore: editing a section means rummaging through endless panels and hidden options. And launching changes? Sometimes they won’t even appear unless you republish multiple times.
Exporting is even worse — you lose all the dynamic features, and the CMS is wrecked. It’s like hitting reset on your functionality if you need to move off-platform.
Support is minimal — slow, ticket-only — and help articles are often outdated. Migrating away from Webflow? Good luck. Sites break, features vanish, and you’re stuck trying to rebuild manually.
If you want something fast, stable, and setup-free — keep scrolling, because Webflow isn’t it.
Terrible Experience – Slow, Buggy, and Unreliable
I'm honestly shocked by how poor the service has been. If I could give one star, I would. The platform is painfully slow and constantly buggy. Every time we perform a backup, the site becomes problematic and we end up needing to contact support—who often take days to respond. It's a complete waste of time.
Even inside the editor, bugs are constant and processes are sluggish. Working with Webflow is simply inefficient. The main dashboard is also extremely slow; navigating it feels like a chore.
Overall, my experience with Webflow can be summed up in two words: slow and unreliable. For a service that charges this much—and keeps pushing add-ons and extra plans—you'd expect the basics to work. But they simply don’t. It's disappointing and unacceptable for a platform at this price point.
Log in crashes often
Log in crashes often, concerning reliability for a tool like this
Constantly crashing
Constantly crashing, bad gateway, inconsistent auto save. Performance is poor.
You have to log in to get support
You have to log in to get support. Their support email doesn't work, it tells you to log in.
That'd be great, if the issue wasn't the login itself. If you're getting 504 redirects and can't log in, theres no help to be had. They keep support tickets low by making sure you can't submit a ticket when you need it most.
Terrible company... RUN
Terrible company now. I just switched a client's site from another webflow developer to mine, and within two days, I got an email from billing saying 50% of bandwidth has been used on PAID plan. THERE IS NO WAY! This is a very small company and very little traffic. I responded to their email and it bounced back. WTH. Nope, I should be able to send an email for support. I had to log online, waste a lot of time going through their online system to figure out how to contact them. I saw my email I sent them in the support sections under "requests" and it was marked "closed".
All of this is unacceptable. I am going to highly encourage my customer to drop webflow IMMEDIATELY and I encourage everyone to RUN from them. Horrible customer service.
NOT for E-commerce
It's not suitable for e-commerce: Expensive and Crash
I constantly receive complaints that the e-commerce tool constantly crashes (when managing products, etc.).
It's expensive compared to the few tools they offer for e-commerce. They charge you for EVERYTHING! Want language support? Then pay. Want decent analytics? Then pay.
Summary: DO NOT use Webflow for e-commerce.
Worst support ever
This company has the worst support ever, please make the right choice and choose for a different platform.
Poor user interface
Poor user interface, prices are extreme, not intuitive.
I do not recommend.
Expensive
Expensive, difficult to realize full cost until after signing up and support is unwilling to refund subscriptions.

I have been using Webflow for years but I'm sick of paying for basic features that all other hosting plan included.... moving to Wordpress.
The last straw for me is that its $15 a month for a seat so a second person can edit the site content and additional $40 per month for a second person to have full control (admin).
Not worth your time - worst experience so far
Google refuses to index my websites and root domain does not work at all so you must put www. domain .com otherwise you get error...........
Slow, complex and unreliable interface with really bad design flaws like not being able to expand a sidebar to not cover content (that mean if you nest something more than 5-6 times you just cant edit it anymore...
The webflow AI is not AI in smallest its just different name for using templates...
DNS, SSL or even a backend management is absolutely unreliable and not well documented that makes it hard to work with.
Their website builder is worth only for having a blog where you put a little bit of text not a functional website.
Everything is made so that the…
Everything is made so that the cancelling of a subscription is unclear and hard to do.
