Hi guys,
I have a question concerning the pricing plans. I am just startung out as a web designer and webflow developer. I have set up my portfolio website with the free plan. I know that I have to sign up for a site plan. But in order to design websites for clients, do I have to sign up for an additional workspace plan?
Thank you in advance 
Hey Timur,
On the free âStarterâ workspace, the free âStarterâ sites are very limited. You can build, but you wonât have the features needed to build an actual full site for a client. Itâs enough to try out the features, but thatâs about it.
To be able to develop a real site, you need to EITHER setup a paid workspace ( Freelancer is great ), or you need to setup hosting for the site. Either way, youâll be able to get the features you need to do a real site build.
For the most part, Iâd recommend you go the Freelancer plan approach, because youâll almost certainly want to setup additional sites, and clone sites from Made in Webflow âcloneablesâ as part of your learning process. Without a paid workspace, youâll be very limited in the number of unhosted sites you can have, and youâll almost certainly run into problems there.
Once youâve built the site, and setup hosting for it, you can downgrade your plan to free if you want to. When the site is on a hosting plan, youâll have full access to that siteâs feature set.
Iâve made some notes here to help explain the differences;
Thank you for your detailed reply. So that means in order to work as a freelancer with a portfolio website hosted here on webflow, I would have to sign up for a site plan as well as for a workspace plan, right?
Iâm not sure what youâre describing, but each site you host with a custom domain will require a hosting plan. I have a freelancer plan, plus about 50 sites hosted on Webflow. If I was never going to build another one, and didnât need my unhosted test sites anymore, I could revert my workspace to a free plan, and still be able to work on my 50 hosted sites as usual.
