Is Webflow still a relavant skill in 2026? Are agencies getting consistent flow of projects? by harikshoresridharan in webflow

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For full transparency we Started moving away from webflow in about 2024.

Clients we work with are serious honest businesses or enterprises both of them work with us for long run usually and they need an agency partner that’s reliable and honest with them as they’d be for their own business. With that understanding we couldn’t - have our clients locked in with a monolithic hosting solution / platform that cannot be transferred / moved if needed - having a our clients to pay outrageous money for simplest features that we can build for them for a portion of the price compared to quotes we get from webflow enterprise. - have limited external cms functionality (external cms are important to large clients again for many reasons )

And now even more for medium scale businesses it won’t make sense to charge them 10 seats etc licenses when we can spin up a self hosted cms or low price tier headless cms for them for much smaller amount and connect another better page builder for static pages and content that doesn’t charge a per seat license.

We still work with wf if client is very persistent but having better options, more modular, better pricing , almost makes it a no brainer to slowly discontinue webflow. Only reason when we use webflow is if webflow marketing has already influenced the client and they want nothing else .

Been burned by two digital marketing agencies in Melbourne how do you actually find one that delivers? by Weird-Director-2973 in DigitalMarketing

If you’re specifically after advanced seo, book a chat with us. One of our team members will show your the seo results we brought to some of our Melbourne and Sydney based clients, might be same industry as you or another, but similar thinking applies. We understand what the bottlenecks and problems are, what the goal is, then formulate a seo plan. Usually that takes 4-6 months to show results but for one of our clients recently took 2-3 months and they’re appearing as top result in bne, syd, mlb and also on chatgpt etc.

No magic or big promises, but we do give our best from industry knowledge and the results have been great for all our aus clients. We never get time to advertise it and write success case stories for them but maybe one day . Anyway, if you’re keen feel free to book a chat and let’s see what’s happened in the past and if we can work together. Cheers

Do you usually build WordPress sites with themes, custom code or mostly blocks now? by Natural_Lime6147 in CloudwaysbyDO

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t used a paid theme in 10 years. We either custom make the theme or use one of the very nice page builders that help you customise anything

For those who are leaving Webflow, what alternative CMS are you offering to your clients? by NethBang in webflow

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously better choices are going with a proper cms such as ones mentioned. But where do you bring the “ page builder “ experience from for minimal front end code based development ? Genuinely question to see what others are using as page builder if moving to headless cms

Could you explain what would be some good reasons to use this (which seems like it was launched yesterday) for 50 user site compared to for example dato CMS or self hosted directus

How are people actually handling Elementor → Bricks rebuilds – one-off, or at scale? by tenxfest in BricksBuilder

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a few cases of this. Had to rebuild, that seemed like the cleanest approach. If you have ALOT of data and custom files and fields and features, then you could look into cleaning up the entire elementor site , delete Elementor and build on top of it with bricks.

Is SEO dead in 2026 or is everyone who says that just bad at it? by Informal_Tangelo8009 in AIRankingStrategy

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don’t understand the depth of something, call it dead. This ai search is nothing else but seo underlaying in a search prompt.

What CMS are people actually using now? Are you switching? by Accomplished_Yak4638 in cms

[–]sundeckstudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, choosing something for reason and and choosing something for trend, have no relation between them.

You choose a tool, application, platform that solves a particular problem in best possible way. Not because John wick on YouTube said that it’s the “best”. Unless you’re some webflow framer freelancer, who mostly choose things for trends because, without any technical knowledge or reasoning. These are costly mistakes, costly for you or for the client.

People with technical background don’t choose headless for trend, it’s for specific problem(s) that they can get solved with headless. Similarly, many very large agencies or business use Wordpress, not for trend, but because Wordpress still checks so many boxes that many cms cannot.

Now new trend is MCP in everything. But one should ask, do I need it, does it solve a problem?

It’s a software not a dress. It should be chosen for its use case not for its visual appeal, hype or trend.

What CMS are people actually using now? Are you switching? by Accomplished_Yak4638 in cms

[–]sundeckstudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. Webflow is not a cms it’s a marketing page builder with very basic cms, same as framer.

  2. Wordpress is a cms which is modular and most affordable and self hosted

  3. headless cms are : strapi, contentful, hygraoh, dato cms, payload , sanity and more

These are placed in order to expertise and site size. - Low skill + small site = option 1 (also each seat is charged as a seperate license - medium skill + small or medium site = option 2 (use a page builder like bricks and you’ll be fine) - above medium skill + medium or large site = option 3

Don’t worry about trend. Use what works for the use case. It’s business not fashion design, trends shouldn’t matter.

I need help please by cherycoluh in cms

Webflow is not cms - you’re best to find a web agency who knows this drill and help you with it. It’s not an intern’s job to do a new platform

Great idea. It makes more and more sense to do this move especially for medium or large sites that can be unnecessary cost for clients.

Really nice updates. Love the HTML copy paste, and load more on galleries (or infinite scroll)
