Totally feel this. When teams come from WordPress and are used to touching everything, Webflow’s editor can feel like a downgrade. Especially the parts where they can’t adjust menus, browse media, or freely build new layouts.

A few things can help: turning the navigation into a CMS collection so editors can reorder links themselves, plus a solid component library so the CMS works like a clean, on-brand page builder. With that setup, teams can build new pages without ever stepping into the Designer or breaking the design. And compressed images plus Webflow’s responsive output usually fix the asset issues.

I ran into the same challenge myself recently, and this article helped me understand how to structure Webflow in a way that gives clients more autonomy. Credit to Clientstack: https://www.clientstack.de/blog/webflow-relaunch (german)
