Webflow is a great idea — design without code, a simple CMS, the ability to export code and host it externally, support for variables, and a big community with lots of tutorials and learning resources. These were all the things I liked — and why I started paying for Webflow.

I was really excited about all the features and have used Webflow intensively over the past six months to build my portfolio. As a UX/UI designer with over 20 years of experience using design, video, and 3D software, I can say that very few tools have frustrated me as much. Maybe only Maya for 3D compares in complexity.

I wonder — has Webflow ever conducted usability testing with real users? If yes, when was the last time you tested your top 5 most-used features?

New features keep rolling out, yet for basic tasks — like placing text over an image — I still have to search for a tutorial, and the shortest is often at least five minutes long. That’s just not acceptable in 2025.

I don’t know if anyone at Webflow reads these reviews, but I genuinely wonder how you plan to stay competitive. Framer is easier. Figma is entering the market with serious momentum. I’d hate to see Webflow end up like QuarkXPress when InDesign took over.

If you're building a no-code tool for engineers, that’s fine — but then adjust your marketing. If you’re building for designers, listen to us. Ask for feedback. That’s what will make your product shine — and more profitable in the long run.
