Webflow operates a visual web development platform that enables users to design, build, and launch websites without writing code. The company was founded in 2013 by Vlad Magdalin, Sergie Magdalin, and Bryant Chou and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
The platform combines visual design tools with content management system capabilities and hosting services. Users can create responsive websites through a drag-and-drop interface that generates clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. The platform serves designers, agencies, and businesses ranging from startups to enterprises, with customers including Dell, Dropbox, and Zendesk.
Webflow raised $4 million in Series A funding led by Khosla Ventures in 2019, followed by a $72 million Series A extension round led by Silversmith Capital Partners in 2021. The company has grown to over 500 employees and serves more than 3.5 million registered users. In 2022, Webflow launched Webflow University, an educational platform for web design and development training.

1 product reviewed on TopReviewedPrimarily a UI/UX design and prototyping tool rather than a publishing platform, though its Sites feature increasingly overlaps with Webflow for simple published designs.
Open-source, plugin-extensible CMS with a massive ecosystem and self-hosting option, contrasting with Webflow's closed, hosted visual-development approach.
