A powerful Contentful alternative
Discover why leading organizations are switching from Contentful to Webflow.
Build with the power of code — without writing any
Despite their popularity, headless CMSs like Contentful still have the same fundamental problem as older tools: you need engineers to build out and maintain the frontend experience — and all that code can take a long time to write. Webflow offers something better: a visual canvas that lets you build content-rich sites with the power of code — without writing any — so your teams can design, ship, and update faster.
Why Webflow wins
Webflow is less costly and helps you move faster by putting power back in the hands of your marketing and design teams.
Faster time to market
Build and launch websites faster with the power of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a visual canvas. Consolidate your web stack: Let us handle compiling, deploying, and hosting your site.
A visual-first, composable CMS
Webflow’s visual CMS enables anyone to create content at scale, while our headless CMS APIs allow you to programmatically serve content in and out of Webflow.
Marketing speed and safety
Marketers have the autonomy to build and launch quickly with role-based modes and built-in best practices for SEO, accessibility, branching, staging, and more.
Engineering savings
Avoid expensive, precious engineering time being spent on a never-ending backlog of website-related tickets.

Launch new sites and pages faster, without waiting on dev.
Empower teams across your org to make site updates — fast.
Free your tech team from the time and cost of ongoing updates.
“With Webflow, we can integrate third party tools through robust APIs and collect data to create a richer user experience on our website... that extensibility ultimately empowers us to meet our customers' needs faster.”
“We did our research and due diligence, and Webflow hit every checkmark. It was a powerful and flexible platform that enabled us to do what we wanted to do.”
“With Webflow, the speed of execution ; our ability to push things out ; has been dramatically better. And our ability to collaborate has improved ; everyone now has the ability to contribute to the site.”
“Before we moved to Webflow, updating an existing webpage or adding a new page would take a minimum of 3 weeks. That degree of rigidity was unsustainable.”
Frequently asked questions
Headless CMSs are a database and API-driven approach to content management. They allow you to store your content in a centralized place and connect that content to different websites, mobile apps, and digital products via API. This approach allows for flexible content distribution but requires heavy front-end development.
Webflow has a robust, scalable, and customizable CMS that lets you define the content structures you need for your site and build with that content visually — without engineering support. Webflow also has a CMS API that allows for hybrid flexibility so you can connect your Webflow CMS to other digital surfaces like apps and digital products.
Webflow offers a robust CMS and a visual development platform that allows you to build your websites without writing any code. Contentful is a headless CMS, which means there are no built-in tools or options for building out the frontend site experience — so all of that must be created by developers.
