Webflow combines a visual canvas, CMS, hosting, and interactions tooling so teams can ship marketing sites and web apps without traditional hand-coded frontends. Designers and marketers use it to control layout, content models, and publishing workflows in one environment.
The platform competes with no-code app builders by focusing on production-grade websites, design systems, and CMS-driven content rather than full application logic and database backends.

Webflow is a visual web development platform for designing, building, and hosting responsive websites and web applications.
