Part I : Webflow UI
I am a brand new webflow user that started using Webflow like 3 or 4 days ago. I had no problem at all with the Webflow UI, in fact, the first thing I always do for any program if I am not able to familiarize with it is to watch the tutorials.
And sure enough the tutorials go in-depth about the UI and what each function does in a way. So I am not too sure what’s wrong with the UI here, aside from it been really fluid and easy to use.
Part II : Pricing
For me, at least, the tables makes sense. Because it clearly states what each plan is. You have :
- Single site hosting + (Free Members)
Need just one site? Only pay for hosting.
Start building for free, then add hosting to go live.
- Regular Site creation (Pro members)
So you build a lot of sites?
Build sites for free, then charge clients for hosting with Client Billing. Or go with a paid plan to unlock more projects, export your code, or white label everything.
- Team Plans (For larger teams)
Part of a team?
Create a Webflow Team to work together on shared projects and style templates.
Maybe I am failing to notice what exactly is wrong with this, because when you click on each of them, you get more in-depth information of what it’s about. But here is one thing that I immediately felt could use some work on, and that was the icon illustration for each table. They do not clearly represent the context of the paragraphs at all.
Part III : The Message
For me, as I opened the site, the first thing I read and peeked my interest to scroll more was “Visual way to build for the web”
When it comes to Webflow though, we also have to keep in mind what kind of customers webflow is aiming for? Are they aiming for everyone, or specifically Designer. You mentioned that it’s hard to get an impression of what the tool is about when you first open it, but as a Designer, that immediately caught my attention.
Now is Webflow aiming for general users, or more specific group, whom is this for, for the"Designers" or “Front-end Developers” ?
Overall, I am not sure, but all of these points, for me was the opposite. Because I like the tool, it immediately caught my attention. I started researching about it, and started playing with it.
Perhaps there are better ways for UX, that in itself is a forever on going process. But that sums up my thoughts that came to mind after reading your post @uzzer
