Unlocking Accessibility: Navigating the Webflow Advantage
For many, developing websites is a maze-like endeavour, full of complicated code, features and things that only make it more challenging. But what if there was a solution to reduce complexity and make the whole process a lot more accessible? Webflow's popularity has been making headway recently, and we too are convinced.

Understanding Webflow
Let's break something down: Webflow is a game-changer for you as a web designer and developer. Say goodbye to endless coding marathons and hello to a world where you bring design ideas to life effortlessly.
No need for a translator between design and development. Webflow gives you as a designer the chance to see your creative vision transformed into responsive websites without needing a lot of development experience. Obviously, the platform is not entirely aimed at completely replacing that traditional coding. It bridges the gap between design and development. Thanks to that collaborative spirit, traditional methods remain intact while embracing the convenience of modern design.
Navigating Webflow and Alternatives for Optimal Solutions
So do we always choose Webflow? No. To make that choice, several key elements play an important role, and therefore need to be carefully considered. Webflow and, for example, Strapi both offer different features for different aspects of web development and content management. We make that decision based on various factors such as functionality, ease of use, customisation and specific requirements.
In making that choice between Webflow and other alternatives, it is essential to assess the nature of the project, and our customers are of course central in this process. We will work together to determine the focus of the project, its size, type of experience,...
Seamless Experience Across All Devices
Responsive design is everything. By making your website as responsive as possible, you ensure that people, on any medium, enjoy a seamless experience. Webflow's intuitive tools enable you as a designer to create those responsive layouts with finesse. Thanks to a real-time preview, you assess during design how your final creation will look on those different devices.
Unlocking Global Reach
Those who are internationally known and want to be able to service their entire audience need to create a website that is available in multiple languages. Insert: Webflow. Thanks to a variety of third-party tools, your website becomes available in your languages of choice in a matter of hours or minutes. Weblow also hinted some time ago that they plan to include this option native to their tool as well, to make the development process even more efficient. Something we will jump on immediately, when the time comes!
Effortless Content Creation and Collaboration
In addition, Webflow is also a Content Management System, making the creation and organisation of your content effortless. From blog posts to product overviews, the whole process is streamlined so you have time to offer quality content. Moreover, a CMS also facilitates collaboration within your team. It allows you to work together at any time, in any place, without friction.
Interactions, animations and inclusiveness
Let's all be honest, somewhere deep down we love some animation on a website. But, there is of course a fine line between cute, appropriate animation and a true cartoon on your website.
If you set up your website in Webflow, you have the option to add illustrations and animations to your heart's content. Only Webflow will let you know in good time when you might be going a bit overboard. The platform does this by giving you a little notification.
Today, you cannot afford not to create an inclusive website. We therefore recommend everyone to offer a seamless experience for all. Think of people who are visually impaired and are using a tool that reads your website to them. In that case, though, it is important that your images also have a description. Webflow also points this out to you by indicating that you should definitely bear certain things in mind.
