The pricing is insane. I suggest starting to learn Nuxt 3 and use DatoCMS. Exporting Webflow website is the way to go!
You are right
I almost gave in to a small project, “just to see.”
But watch the video, in the end I don’t understand what I’m going to pay for! https://youtu.be/28wXMP1r6w8
Consequently, I gave up…

Hey guys, just chipping in but if you’re looking for less expensive prices that your smaller clients can actually afford I’ve linked 2 here: Polyflow and Linguana.
Let me know what you guys think of them for your specific use cases.
I agree, this localisation feature looks so great and I’d love to use it, but it’s far too expensive. It prices out a lot of businesses/organisations who need it. For example, I’m working with a social enterprise working globally to fight modern slavery. They need localisation to support people, but as a social enterprise there’s no way they can afford $100s per month to support multilanguage.

I’m putting together a website for a SMALL BUSINESS in a non-English speaking BILINGUAL region where BOTH local languages are expected, plus given that it’s a touristy region, it would be necessary to have an English version as well for the ‘outsiders’. So, no, it’s not some mega-multinational corporation doing crazy amounts of sales. It’s a small business, and that’s our customer base: three languages! Welcome to Europe!

So I convinced my client with localization to use webflow for the project. I thought with the essential plan for 9$ and “add up to 3 locales” means you get 3 languages for the price.
Am I the only one falling for this? Or is this highly misleading & confusing? Now I had to deliver the bad news of a huge cost raise… and now my client can’t even edit the translated pages in the editor?! Even with my little expectations I was not able to imagine this is not implemented.
Now I have to duplicate & translate 50 pages 3x times into 3 languages manually. The editor is essential for the project and it’s just madness to put these prices without features like this… a small business just can’t effort this and I feel like webflow forgets where it’s coming from.

For me, the egregious thing is that clients cannot edit the other languages via the Editor. My larger clients with translation teams have to send me Word documents with translation edits… which is hilariously archaic for Webflow.

Linguana doesn’t work with WebFlow’s eCommerce sites.
It breaks the Store.
I learned this the hard way…

I stopped suggesting Webflow to my clients.
It’s ridiculous that such a trivial feature is paid for. I don’t want to imagine what they’re going to charge when they start adding AI stuff or really complex stuff that involves an expense.
Not to mention the e-commerce features, they’re 10 years behind what the market is and what other platforms like Shopify offer.
So, if you have a Client with a decent budget that needs a fast & cool landing page: Webflow can be an option.
You have a client with e-commerce and multilingual needs: Anything but Webflow.

Same here. Now paying for 2 x locales which is way too expensive.
