Webflow
A no-code visual web design platform that allows designers to build responsive websites with semantic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without writing any code.
Price: Freemium
Description
Webflow empowers designers and marketers to create professional, custom websites directly in a visual canvas, eliminating the need for traditional coding. It provides the power and flexibility of a code editor with the ease of a drag-and-drop interface, allowing for highly customized designs, complex animations, and responsive layouts. Unlike template-based website builders, Webflow gives granular control over every aspect of a site's structure and styling, making it suitable for agencies, freelancers, and businesses that require unique, high-performance websites. It also includes an integrated CMS and hosting, streamlining the entire website development and management process, with emerging AI capabilities for layout generation and content assistance.
