However, Webflow provides a plenty of support materials, including video lessons, articles, and a forum, to ensure that its users have the best possible start.
Visitor statistics You can integrate Google Analytics to keep track of your visitor statistics.
Languages The interface is available in English. A multilingual website is possible, although it takes a bit of technical work.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) The SEO options with Webflow are good. Aside from being able to edit title, URL and descriptions (and even insert dynamic text), you can also perform advanced functions such as set up 301 redirects, generate a sitemap, and edit your robots.txt file (more info here). For inexperienced users, adjusting these settings might be a bit difficult though.
Add HTML code Absolutely, yes! Users can add HTML code via the embed feature in the editor. But keep in mind that this is only available with a paid account.
Content management system (CMS) It’s possible to set up a blog with Webflow, but aside from creating the design, you’ll also have to manually integrate any additional features – media, comments, social sharing etc. In the end, this also gives you a lot of freedom regarding customizations, but it’s also some extra work and it cost more to host CMS website. Our company can help to manage your CMS website through BuildWeb and SpeedWeb service.
