Let me tell you about my worst website handoff ever.
This client came to us after their WordPress site got hacked for the third time. They'd spent months working with another agency, who built them this "custom" WordPress site that apparently needed seventeen different plugins just to add a button to a page.
The final straw? They needed to update their team page. Just add one new person. But due to all the unnecessary complexity added through a WordPress site, the agency quoted them a whole lot of money for a job that should take five minutes.
That's when they fired everyone and came to us.
Look, I'll be direct: WordPress served its purpose. It was great in 2010 when your only other option was learning how to code or selling both your kidneys to pay a developer. But it's 2024. Continuing to build websites in WordPress is like insisting on using a flip phone because "it still makes calls."
That's why we use Webflow. Not because it's trendy. Not because it's perfect (it isn't). But because I'm tired of watching clients get held hostage by their own websites.
Here's what I mean:
Remember that client I mentioned? Their new Webflow site has been live for six months. You know how many times they've needed our help to update it? Zero. They've added team members, updated services, even created new landing pages. All by themselves. No plugins. No security updates. No frantic "the site is down" calls at 2 AM.
"But wait," I hear the WordPress defenders say, "WordPress is more customizable!"
Is it though? Or does it just have 50,000 plugins because the core platform can't do what it needs to do?
Here's what clients actually want:
- To update their website without breaking it
- To not need a computer science degree to add a blog post
- To stop paying monthly fees for plugins they don't understand
- To never see the phrase "fatal error" ever again
Webflow does all of that out of the box. No plugins. No constant updates. No security nightmares.
Here's what sold me on Webflow: Watching a client's face when I showed them how to update their site. Instead of walking them through seventeen different screens and warning them not to touch anything that looks important, the conversation went like this:
"See this text? Click it and type. Want to change the image? Drag a new one in. Need a new page? Click 'Add Page.' That's it."
Their response? "That's it?"
That's it.
Because here's the thing about websites: They should work for you, not the other way around.
Want some real talk about what switching to Webflow means?
For your team:
- No more "wait for IT" to update basic content
- No more broken sites after WordPress updates
- No more plugin compatibility nightmares
- No more getting quoted hundreds of dollars for five-minute changes
For your business:
- Launch landing pages in days, not weeks
- Update content in real-time, not "whenever the developer is free"
- Stop paying for endless maintenance and plugins
- Actually own your website instead of renting it from your agency
Is Webflow perfect? Nah. Nothing is. But it's a hell of a lot better than watching clients suffer through another WordPress update gone wrong.Here's my challenge to you: Look at your current website. Count how many times in the last month you wanted to update something but couldn't. Or didn't because it was too much hassle. Or had to wait for someone else to do it.
That number? That's how many times your website worked against you instead of for you.
And maybe you're fine with that. Maybe you love calling your developer every time you need to change a phone number. Maybe you enjoy playing "which plugin broke the site this time?"
But if you're not? Well, that's why we use Webflow.
