i am keen to hear why you are thinking/contemplating to move from Webflow to custom stack?

Currently using custom + WP as cms, exploring if there is any downside with Webflow

following

Some of the limitations that I hear from our developer : • 100 Static Pages limit • 10K CMS Records with a Limit of 30 Data Fields in Each • Reverse Proxy ❌ • Lack of on demand customer support. • Ridiculous pricing jump between business plans and enterprise plan (which you need for dedicated CSM and Reverse proxy, 10K+ CMS Items) Business: 45$ Enterprise: ~65000$ • Downtime during transition, etc.. Most companies might not hit these limits or there could be workarounds. Also they are constantly improving and the community is SOLID. But imo their pricing plans have always been confusing. Hope they get this sorted or its gonna be a huge problem after a company has scaled enough with Webflow.

65000 😱

Thanks @Vishal S Krishna, this is helpful!

I witnessed a Webflow to wordpress migration recently. The main reason - Webflow is unnecessary for most startups. I'm all for WordPress and with their latest update of full site editing or FSE as they call it (still beta), it's all you need. The main limitation of WordPress for me was -- lack of site customization. What the theme has set, was all you could get without code. That is no longer an issue now. + No limits to CMS items, pages, visits per month, or cost based on visits and CMS items. I do a lot of programmatic SEO and the limited CMS items would've gotten used up PRETTYYYYY quickly.

We moved from custom stack to WF, best decision we made honestly. WF is very costly though 😞 In most cases, unless you are creating programmatic content pages, you won't hit their limits. WF takes away all the hassle of SEO and website maintenance. Having said that, you can also look at framer. It has lesser fidelity compared to webflow but time to production is super low. It worked out for us - nowstackit.com is built on framer.
