2021 — done.
We can’t believe it, either. 2021 has been full of advancements in and connections with the Webflow community. Here’s a look at what we’re grateful for from 2021.
480,000+ sites were #MadeInWebflow in 2021.
Webflow sites now get over 10,000,000,000 visits a month.
...and we love each and every one of them <3
We now have
500+ Partners in our Webflow Experts network.
It’s really never been easier to bring your dream projects to life through Webflow, by working with Experts who know their stuff.
To celebrate this, we launched our first annual Partner Awards. Winners and finalists wowed us with work covering four categories: Excellent Aesthetics, Inclusivity and Social Impact, Innovation and Originality, and Surprise and Delight.

Design for everyone’s eyes
Vision Preview mode allows you to see how color-blind and visually impaired people experience your site, so that you can design responsibly.
