7 Things BCMS Can Do vs WebFlow

  • Integrations

    Unlike Webflow, headless BCMS offers out-of-the-box integrations with third parties. With its API-first approach, BCMS can act as a multichannel content delivery system, allowing users to use a single content source while adapting autonomously to their publishing environment.

  • Speed

    Webflow websites can perform well but not nearly as well as BCMS websites. The API-first approach makes BCMS content delivery speedy and beats Webflow site performance hands down.

  • User permissions

    BCMS offers built-in fine-grained user permissions. As you add teammates to BCMS, you'll be able to specify what they can see, create, edit, or delete. The content editor, for example, can only edit blog entries. The BCMS allows your team access to only relevant information, keeping data secure.

  • Multiple languages supported

    BCMS with multi-language features makes your business understandable to the whole world. There are 93 languages available for you to choose from.

  • Faster server response time

    BCMS helps you avoid cluttered user interfaces. With more content, Webflow becomes increasingly slow to navigate. You're losing SEO rankings and frustrating your users by having a poor-performing website.

  • Pricing & Costs

    BCMS's pricing plan is loud and clear, without hidden costs and limits. Not only does choosing BCMS result in lower costs, but you can also create the same website at a fraction of the Webflow price.

  • Full control over your code

    By using BCMS, you don't have to install 3rd-party plugins that you can't control. Instead, you can develop any functionality just by using powerful BCMS custom inputs, functions, plugins, events, etc.

As a platform that requires no coding, Webflow significantly simplifies the process of building websites. The Webflow no-code builder allows you to create visually appealing websites. While this can be useful for small projects, it can also lead to scalability issues down the road, bringing more complexity instead of simplicity. Low-code BCMS provides simplicity and scalability at the same time.

A no-code tool proved to be a good start for small and medium businesses that need to build simple websites with limited scope, security, and data governance risks. But how to deal with large projects designed to grow and evolve? It is simple to switch to a more cost-effective/scalable tool like a BCMS.
