Since the Webflow CMS is just one part of our larger website platform — versus a separate solution that only manages content — issues that engineering teams care about can be addressed holistically. Your team only has to support one tool that handles content, visual development, hosting, code deployment, and more — all in a single, end-to-end platform.
Meeting enterprise standards
Webflow checks the vital boxes for enterprise expectations around security, scalable performance, and hosting.
Security
The Webflow security program maps to industry standards like ISO 27001 and the CIS Critical Security Controls. Our platform is backed by SOC 2 Type II certification, and we comply with CCPA and GDPR regulations. Webflow is hosted primarily in AWS, and our application security features include two-factor authentication, SSO capabilities, role-based permissions, custom SSL certificates, and backups and versioning.
And since Webflow is fully integrated, unlike traditional CMS platforms like Wordpress, your development team won’t have to worry about vulnerabilities introduced by third-party plugins.
Performance
Webflow supports scalable performance during traffic spikes and surges with our AWS-powered hosting services and custom hosting clusters. Our website builder also supports .Webp images while automatically applying features like lazy-load photos and scalable responsive images — keeping page load times optimized while taking the burden off your content and engineering teams. We also provide enterprise customers with MSAs and SLAs to guarantee compliance and 99.99% uptime.
Hosting
Webflow can include fully managed hosting for your website, powered by the global infrastructure of AWS and Fastly CDN (content delivery network). All Webflow-hosted sites meet HTTP/2 standards to ensure fast load times. Our performance standards meet enterprise needs, with over 10 billion pageviews currently processed every month.
With this kind of infrastructure support in place, the CMS becomes a tightly integrated layer of the web tech stack that doesn’t add unnecessary complexity or burdens to engineering teams. This means less demand on in-house development resources, lower bills from outsourced engineers, and fewer bottlenecks.
Performance and scale are natively built into the Webflow platform:
- Manages hosting
- Manages local deployments
- Built-in functionality (no plugins or updates to manage)
- Fine-tunes database performance
- Scalable storage
- Performant
- Fast load times
Case study: How Virta Health built a faster, more secure site with Webflow
When healthcare brand Virta was in need of a rebrand, the marketing and design teams decided to re-platform their custom-built site and WordPress blog on a new CMS — and landed on Webflow as their preferred solution.
But since ensuring HIPAA compliance was a top priority for the healthcare organization, Virta’s security team needed to get involved. Webflow’s Enterprise team worked closely with security stakeholders to answer questions about their unique requirements. Ultimately, Virta’s leadership concluded that Webflow was indeed the best choice.
“The whole plugin ecosystem introduces so many vulnerabilities that moving away from WordPress worked out in our favor during the security discussion,” said Garrett Voorhees, Senior UX Design Manager. And for his design team, “It came down to that Webflow gives you all the design control you need without having to go deep into the code.”
I recommend Webflow to other companies, and I’m delighted to do it. Webflow provides both power and flexibility, and dramatically increases the speed of frequent and simple changes while optimizing our team’s resources.
The new website is performing at a higher standard than Virta’s previous custom-coded site. “Our site loaded literally twice as fast after switching to Webflow, even without rigorously optimizing every image,” said Garrett. The new site has maintained and improved on their SEO and keyword rankings as well.
Key takeaways
As a fully integrated website builder, Webflow supports enterprise engineering teams by:
- Providing security, performance, and hosting infrastructure
- Streamlining attention to one platform instead of multiple layers
- Reducing the need for development resources and budgets
Start building powerful web experiences with a visual-first CMS
As you look to the future of how content and end-to-end websites will be managed, it’s clear that the current approaches of relying on templates or writing custom code are falling — and will continue to fall — short. Modern marketers need to move fast and work independently, and engineering teams shouldn’t be wasting their time updating static content or managing overly siloed tech stacks.
Visual web development presents a better option: an integrated, scalable CMS that puts user experience at the center of how web content is created. Webflow can relieve the burden of reliance on programming fluency while giving creative and marketing teams the freedom they need to do their best work.
