Cons
Con Based on Bootstrap
Bootstrap is rather old technology
Con Design tool is web-based, not a proper application.
The site doesn't state this explicitly.
Con Can't export your site for deployment unless you pay.
Not unreasonable, but something users should know before investing their time.
Con Uses JavaScript
Webflow uses JavaScript on its websites. Website visitors can have JavaScript disabled and be unwilling to enable it for the website they want to view, which would put a website created with Webflow out of their reach.
Con No way to collaborate on designs with comments
Forum post here.
Con No version control
Forum post here.
Con Fixed media queries
Webflow has four fixed breakpoints (desktop, laptop, mobile landscape & mobile portrait). The inability to set your own media queries can be limiting. If your layout breaks outside of these four options, you have to export the code and write them yourself.
Con Free update is available only 1 year
Update version will be available only 1 year once you buy the license.
