What is Webflow?
Webflow is an innovative tool that allows you to complete the entire process from website creation to publication on the Internet without the need for coding.
It is widely used for corporate websites, landing pages, blog sites, etc., because its intuitive design operation allows not only designers and developers, but also beginners to easily create high quality websites.
Webflow Basics
Webflow is a no-code tool, so you can create websites without writing HTML/CSS/JavaScript or other code.
In addition, Webflow provides a unique Graphic User Interface (GUI) that allows users to make detailed settings similar to coding with just drag-and-drop operations.
Therefore, Webflow can create higher quality websites than other no-code tools.
Why Webflow is the Superior Option
- Quick and easy to post articles and update pages
- Create well-designed websites with lots of animations
- Easy to create a responsive design
- Strong SEO and easy to get your site found in search engines
- No dependence on plug-ins for security
How to operate Webflow
Compared to other no-code tools, Webflow tends to look difficult because it is more like coding and the operation screen is in English.
The Webflow operation screen looks like this.
You mainly set HTML (elements) in the left panel and CSS (element decorations) in the right panel.
Since you can work based on the structure of [HTML/CSS] the most among the no-code tools, there is no “limit of what you can do,” which is the weakness of no-code tools, and you can create a high quality website with a high design quality by continuing to learn.
