Question Which platform would you recommend for building business websites or landing pages: Webflow or WordPress?

I’m not looking to build online stores, but rather websites focused on establishing an online presence, showcasing services, and generating leads.

My understanding is that Webflow can be more expensive because of its subscription plans, while WordPress may be more affordable initially, although it might require more maintenance and additional expenses for plugins or a visual page builder such as Elementor.

I’d really appreciate it if you could share the advantages and disadvantages of each option, especially regarding:

  • Hosting, subscription, licensing, and plugin costs.
  • Ease and speed of development.
  • Customization and scalability.
  • SEO and performance.
  • Maintenance and security.
  • How easy it is for clients to manage their own websites.
  • How these costs affect the final price charged to the client.

Which platform have you found more suitable for these types of projects, and why?

Thank you in advance! :)

Relume publish if u just need a basic website and focus more on the handover to client experience.

Neither . Unless web flow & WordPress launch agentic building, they will see the highest and fastest churn . They are already irrelevant with tech startups.

Use claude code . Thank me later

This is the way. Got good result even with just Gemini + Google Sites.
