The power of CSS grid — in a completely visual canvas. Start building with grid in Webflow today.
CSS filters
Create beautiful effects by adding one or more of 8 CSS filters to any element of your Webflow websites inside the Designer.
Clean, W3C compliant HTML and CSS
Webflow writes clean, W3C compliant, semantic code for you. Without all the messy inline classes you've come to expect from drag-and-drop site builders. You can even export your HTML, CSS, and images in a handy ZIP file you can use however you like.
Custom CSS properties and values
Explore Webflow's latest update: targeted expansion of supported CSS properties and values to empower richer designs and smoother workflows.
Custom code
Need to do something Webflow doesn't support out of the box? You can easily add custom code for the entire site, a specific page, or a specific part of a page.
Detect repetitive IDs within the elements of your website
You can now use the audit panel to detect ID duplications within symbol instances to avoid potential bugs.
Display code on your website without writing code & updates to ordered lists
Easier ways to display code in rich text elements or fields and updates to ordered lists.
Flexbox (CSS3 flexible boxes)
Webflow gives you a more powerful and intuitive way to build flexible, responsive layouts with CSS3’s flexible boxes.
Global swatches
Now you can define key colors as global, so every instance of that color will update whenever you change it. It’s like Symbols, but for colors.
Introducing the custom element
Add any HTML tag or custom attribute to an element — and unlock all of the power of HTML.
Over 2,000 web font families
Use any font from Google and Typekit’s vast collections, or just upload any font you own or have the right to use.
Prevent unwanted click and touch interactions with pointer events
You can now set pointer events to none to better manage overlapping elements on your website.
Responsive images
Webflow automatically scales and optimizes inline images for every device size, at every resolution.
Responsive web design
Webflow sites are responsive by default, so they display and perform beautifully on every device.
Responsive website templates
Kickstart your design process with a free or premium responsive website template built by us or one of our trusted designers.
Reusable and editable Symbols
Turn repeating design elements (like buttons) into Symbols you can place with a click. Need to make a change? Just edit the Symbol once, and it'll update across your site.
Shortcuts to duplicate or remove the last class
Manage classes without leaving your keyboard.
Tons of CSS properties at your fingertips
Enjoy total design freedom with access to many CSS styling properties from the latest specs, from alpha to Z-index.
Total creative control
Webflow's the only responsive website builder that lets you design anything. It's a blank canvas for your creativity.
Variable fonts support now in beta
Now you can utilize a range of font styles within a single typeface for greater precision over your site typography. Available in open beta.
Visual development
Webflow translates every design choice you make into clean, standards-compliant code. So you're not just designing or prototyping your website — you're building it.
X & Y offsets for shadows & variable support
Angle and distance shadow properties are now X & Y offsets and all shadow properties now support variables.
Motion design
3D transforms and animations
Add a whole new dimension to your website designs with the first tool that lets you create 3D CSS transforms — without writing code.
Design interactions without code
Easily add complex interactions and animations to your site, without even looking at JavaScript.
CMS (Content management system)
CMS API
The Webflow CMS REST API is open for business! Now you can add, update, and delete Items from Collections programmatically, right from your terminal.
Create CMS items with Zapier
Now you can push content to Webflow CMS from your favorite apps via Zapier — without writing code.
Dynamic SEO and Open Graph (OG) settings
Forget writing meta titles and descriptions for every one of your blog posts. With Webflow, you just create a template for your SEO tags to follow, and we'll automatically generate search engine-friendly titles, descriptions, and Open Graph content.
Dynamic content filtering and sorting
Easily filter dynamic content to display featured content or all blog posts on a particular topic. Or use sorting to display content from a specific date range, by alpha, and more.
Dynamic content templates
When you create a Collection, Webflow automatically generates a template page so you can design how that content displays. Then that template gets applied to every item in the Collection — letting you create hundreds or even thousands of pages — at once.
Easier collaboration with clients
Add your client as a content editor so they can update text and images while you work on the design.
Export CMS content as a CSV
Now you can export your CMS Collections as CSVs to move content between sites or — if you must — between platforms.
Form submissions in the Editor
If you have Webflow CMS hosting, you, your clients, and other Collaborators can now review incoming submissions from your website's forms right inside the Editor panel—plus download the whole list in a handy CSV file.
Fully customizable content structures
Webflow CMS gives you the power to define your content and its structure however you'd like with over a dozen field types.
Intuitive website editor for clients and teams
With Webflow CMS, there's no need to learn a complex backend. Just open your website, log in to the CMS, and start updating text and images — right on the live website.
Paginate Collection Lists
Now you can paginate collection lists, control how many items display per page, and style your own “previous” and “next” buttons.
Powerful related content tools
Easily create "related posts" modules for your blog, guide users through in-depth tutorials, surface related help content and documentation, and build modular pages that highlight content from across your site.
RSS feeds for CMS Collections
Create an RSS 2.0 feed for any of your dynamic content Collections so people can subscribe to your content via reader apps like Feedly. You can also automate your email newsletter via MailChimp or set up RSS "zaps" with Zapier using your RSS feed URL.
Components
"Symbols" evolved to "Components"
We’ve introduced a handful of key improvements to Symbols and renamed them to Components to reflect their new power and set the stage for what’s to come.
Contact and lead-generation forms
Our forms contain all the elements you need, and they're infinitely customizabile. Plus, they're easy to integrate with MailChimp and Zapier to help you automate your list building.
Dropdown menu
Add long lists of links or options to your website with a double-click.
Group your component properties
You can now create groups within component properties making it more convenient to navigate the properties panel.

Webflow's tabs component offers an easy and elegant way to build navigation, compactly display content, and much more.
HTML embeds

Share your work
Every Webflow account comes with a public design portfolio and profile where you can highlight your latest and greatest work, list your skills, and link to a personal website.
Showcase your designs
Build your personal brand and reputation in the Webflow community by sharing your latest and greatest websites.
Website management
Custom 404 (page not found) error page
Helping your customers recover from a 404 (page not found) error is key to creating a good user experience. That's why we let you create a custom 404 page design. Just create a page with the slug "404" to get started!
Custom favicon and webclip
Upload your own custom design for your site's favicon (the little icon that shows in browser tabs) and webclip (the icon smartphone users will see when they add a shortcut to your site to their homescreen).
Dashboard folders
The more projects you're working on, the harder it gets to find the right one in your dashboard. So we made it easier to organize everything, with folders.
Export clean HTML5 and CSS3
Not everyone can host with Webflow — that's why we let users with a Lite plan and above export Webflow's clean, standards-compliant code to use whenever, wherever, and however they'd like.
Password protection
Don't want the world to see your next beautiful website just yet — or even just a single page? Set up password protection on your entire Webflow site, or a single page, with a single click. Then design your password page to match your site to a T.
Protect projects in team accounts from deletion
Now Team owners can lock projects from being deleted (or transferred) by their teammates to make sure important sites don’t get accidentally — or maliciously — removed.
Website backups and versioning
Webflow automatically creates backups of your website you can restore with a click. Plus, we save the current version of your website whenever you restore a previous version.
Custom branding
CMS whitelabeling
Replace the Webflow logo in the CMS with your logo, or your client's if you have a Professional or Team plan.
Whitelabel form submission emails
Put your brand — or your client's — front and center in form submission notification emails.
Marketing & SEO
Alt tags for images
Alt tags on images improve your site's SEO, UX, and accessibility. That's why we let you easily add alt tags to images in both our design tool, and our CMS.
Auto-generated XML sitemap
When the search spiders start crawling, they like to have a sitemap. You know, so they know where they're going. That's why Webflow automatically builds one for you.
Open Graph (OG) settings
Improve your content's performance on social media by defining your page's Open Graph title, description, and image.
SEO meta title and description
Customize your pages' meta titles and descriptions (the key ingredients in optimizing your site for search—aka, a person's journey from Google to your website).
Search engine optimized
Webflow gives search engines everything they love: clean, semantic code; super-fast page loads; and mobile-friendliness, right out of the box. The only missing ingredient? Your amazing content.
Integrations
Google Analytics integration
Easily integrate with Google Analytics so you can track how people get to your site, what they do once they get there, and so much more.
Google Domains in Webflow
Need a custom domain for your website? Now you can buy one directly within Webflow, thanks to our friends at Google Domains. No need to mess with DNS, CNAMES, A-Records, or any of that technical stuff.
Google Optimize integration
Paste your Google Optimize container ID into the integrations section of your project settings to run A/B and multivariate tests on your pages with Google Optimize.
MailChimp integration
Our MailChimp integration lets you automatically build your email subscription list.
Zapier integration
Webflow's integration with Zapier lets you connect your website's forms with tons of other apps designers use every day, including Slack, MailChimp, and Asana.
Hosting
Blazing-fast website load times
When a website's slow to load, visitors bounce. That's why Webflow offers the fastest hosting on the internet via our Tier 1 Content Delivery Network, Amazon Cloudfront, and Fastly.
Custom 301 redirects
Every time you change a page's URL, it's vital that you redirect the old URL to the new one. That way, you get to keep the old URL's SEO juice (and don't have to hit users with a 404 page). And Webflow makes it easy.
Daily website backups/versioning
There's nothing worse than spending weeks on a website only to lose your work — or have the client say they want to go back to V2. That's why Webflow automatically saves backups of your website that you can restore with a click.
Instant software and website upgrades
At Webflow, we're constantly updating, improving, and bug-fixing — and you'll instantly and painlessly benefit from every update, without doing a thing. Unlike certain other CMSs we know.
Per-page password protection
All sites with a hosting subscription can now set passwords for static pages and folders — and you can customize the design of your password page too!
Site search release
Now you can add search, customize your search results page, and even control the content in your search engine — all in Webflow.
Staging and production databases
When it comes to web publishing, the last thing you want to do is launch unapproved content, or functionality that breaks your site. That's why we give you a staging site on webflow.io. Publish with confidence. Design without fear.
Upload files to forms
Add a file upload button to your forms to collect documents, images, media files, and more from your visitors. And of course, style that upload experience however you want. Now available for all sites with Business hosting.
Your own custom domain name
Easily get your website up and running on your own personal URL.
