No-code tools are gaining attention as tools that allow users to create sophisticated websites without programming expertise. Webflow and Studio are two of the most popular among them. Both have excellent features, so many people are wondering which one to choose.
In this article, we will thoroughly compare Webflow and STUDIO from various perspectives and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each in detail. At the end, we will also tell you how to decide which tool is right for you, so please read to the end.
What is Webflow?
Webflow is a no-code website builder released in 2013 and supported by designers and developers worldwide. It allows users to create high quality sites without programming knowledge and also allows direct export of HTML and CSS code.
The main features are as follows
- Seamless integration of design and code: You can create a website as detailed and precise as programming, just as if you were doing the design work.
- Advanced animations and interactions: Easily create advanced animations, such as click-and-scroll motion
- SEO optimization: Webflow is rich in SEO features, making it easy to create websites that rank highly in search engines
What is Studio?
Webflow vs Studio
Operability
Webflow has abundant functions and a very high degree of freedom, but it takes time to get used to its operation. On the other hand, STUDIO features a simple interface and intuitive operability, and its great appeal is that even beginners of no-code tools can start creating sites immediately.
We recommend choosing Webflow if freedom of design and detailed customization are important, and choosing STUDIO if you want to start using it easily.
Design Features
Webflow is the ideal tool for professional designers because it allows you to customize your design down to the smallest detail. Layouts can be constructed using grids and flexboxes, and animations and interactions can be freely configured.
Studio, on the other hand, allows you to quickly set up a site using templates for the Japanese market. Simply follow the template and fill in the necessary sections to complete a professional website.
Customizability
One of Webflow's strengths is the ability to export the code of your site. This means that a site created with Webflow can be run on other servers and further customized. In contrast, Studio does not allow code export, so site operation is limited to within Studio.
Webflow is suitable for more advanced customization and integration with existing infrastructure, but Studio is sufficient for those who simply want to build and publish a website.
Support System and Community
Because Webflow is used around the world, it has a very active community in addition to official support. There is a wealth of information available in English, and they respond quickly to questions.
Studio has excellent official support in Japanese, with extensive support materials and tutorials. In addition, Studio is a good choice for those who want to ask questions and receive support in Japanese because of the large number of users in Japan.
Plans
In terms of fees, Webflow is slightly more expensive, but its extensive features and wide customizability make it worth the price, while STUDO is relatively reasonably priced and is especially suited for smaller sites and landing pages.
