What is Webflow?

Webflow, Inc. is a SaaS company based in San Francisco, USA. It was founded in 2013 by Vlad Magdalin, Sergie Magdalin, and Bryant Chou.

Webflow Designer is a No-Code tool for developing websites visually. In the Designer’s Canvas, visual developers manually add the building blocks of a website, and Webflow automatically generates HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript in the background - this clean, semantic code is immediately ready to be published on the web, or to be exported. The Designer is Webflow’s core product.

Webflow has engineered a lot of features that’s built on top of the Designer. Each one takes the static page builder to the next level.
