“Site builders” like wix, Squarespace, etc. are basically all the same. They sandbox you into a selection of annoyingly rigid templates and a dumbed down UI and abstract the important stuff away.
Webflow is more of a “visual coding” platform. If you don’t know basic html/css you’ll have a hard time using it. It spits out static sites on the front end with proper readable html/css and SEO.
It’s a bit of a steep learning curve to get the hang of their UI but after a few hours, building things is insanely fast and you have control over everything.
I rebuilt my company’s entire site in it in about 4 hours and was blown away how easy it is to update things.
I’ve heard pretty much all YC companies are now using it to build their marketing sites because of this.
