How much does a Webflow website cost?

In this article, as a Webflow agency, we would like to address the question: “How much does a Webflow website cost?”. Before we present real examples of project costs for implementing websites for our customers (anonymously, of course), we would like to explain what makes the cost structure of a Webflow project special.

Important: Is Webflow cheaper or more expensive than alternatives like WordPress?

Webflow has established itself as one of the leading platforms and CMS for implementing tailor-made websites for startups and SMEs. As Webflow Experts with over 100 successfully implemented projects (--> Webflow page), we are confronted daily with the question of how much a Webflow website costs. And perhaps much more important: Is Webflow cheaper or more expensive than alternatives such as WordPress?

One thing in advance: There is no general answer to the “price comparison.” As always, it depends on the requirements.

Is Webflow cheap? Webflow is cost-effective!

Our experience shows that Webflow is always the more cost-effective choice in the following cases. We intentionally say cost-effective and not cheap. Because Webflow websites are generally not cheap - but with a good budget, impressive projects can be implemented much more efficiently. And that means:

Webflow is the more cost-effective choice if you...

... want a custom design for your website and not a ready-made template.

... do not have an internal, tech-savvy team to maintain and expand the website.

... want to expand your website regularly, whether due to growth or other requirements.

... need a “simple” web application with login and database.

If you fulfill one of the above cases, we would trust that Webflow is the best way for you to drive. Do you disagree and know a more efficient alternative? Enlighten us. It's no joke. We're really interested in real alternatives.

So what makes Webflow's cost structure different from traditional technology?

In summary, with Webflow projects, a much smaller part of your budget is spent on the technical implementation of your website. This leaves more for a convincing design and precise content.

In detail, this means you save time and money with Webflow because:

Lightning-fast and efficient development

With the graphical low-code tool Webflow, we develop your website up to 3 times faster than with conventional technologies. In addition, professional Webflow websites are built using so-called design systems. This means that every element does not have to be redesigned, but can be implemented in a very short time using the system.

User-friendly operation

Webflow websites can be managed without technical knowledge, which saves time and money for our customers in the long term.

No annual updates required

Webflow takes care of website maintenance, which makes annual updates unnecessary and reduces maintenance costs.

Real examples and their costs:

For clarification: For us, project costs always consist of the effort required for the following steps:

Strategy: Our projects always start with lots of questions. We love to listen and take time to understand your company, product, and users so we never lose focus throughout the project.

Design: Design must work. According to this motto, we create brands and web designs at the cutting edge with a lot of passion and experience. The focus is always on your target group and their demands on the website.

Development: By combining many years of experience and web flow, we develop complex websites in just a few weeks or days. We ensure good findability (SEO), fast loading times and smooth animations.

If required, our content creators will add text, photo, video and graphics to the entire project.

Here are a few real examples of Webflow website costs.

Annual Hosting — CMS Plan $276.00

First: Would you like to use Weblow's intuitive graphical editor to operate your website yourself with just a few clicks? If so, unfortunately, you will have to host your website yourself via Webflow. At first glance, this sounds like a disadvantage, but it is only partly true. The advantage: Webflow ensures smooth operation for its own websites. In particular, this means lightning-fast server, 99.9% uptime guarantee and no annoying maintenance. In the long term, this “more expensive” hosting saves a lot of money and time.

Webflow offers various hosting plans. In our experience, the $276 CMS plan covers 95% of our customers annually.

Conclusion:

Webflow websites cannot set a clear price tag. In terms of budget, however, you can start at 10,000.00 CHF for a high-quality, tailor-made website. For more demanding projects involving automation and complex design, the price can quickly rise to 30,000.00 CHF. In all cases, however, it can be said that with Webflow, you can use your budget much more efficiently for design and content than for the technical implementation of your website.
