WordPress vs Webflow
WordPress vs Webflow — which, and how we help you move
Webflow is a hosted visual builder with a polished authoring experience; WordPress is the open-source CMS the rest of the web is built on. We build on WordPress, not Webflow — this page is the service offer for brands that have decided WordPress is the right call, or that are still on Webflow and want a short, side-by-side read. If you want to stay on Webflow, we will say so.
Side by side
| Dimension | WordPress | Webflow |
|---|---|---|
| Per-month platform fee | None (GPL-2.0+) | ₹4K–1.5L / month on Webflow |
| Source code ownership | Yours, on your infrastructure | Webflow, on Webflow's cloud |
| Hosting | Your infrastructure (Hetzner / AWS / on-prem) | Webflow's hosting |
| Custom code / integrations | PHP, JavaScript, REST — first-class | Limited to Webflow's logic + custom code embeds |
| Editorial workflow | WordPress roles, custom workflows, editorial plugins | Built-in, polished |
| Build cost (marketing site, Indian mid-market operator) | ₹3–8 lakh | ₹2–6 lakh |
The case for moving
If you are a brand in India on Webflow and asking the question, the most useful reframe is: Webflow is a hosted, polished, opinionated CMS; WordPress is the open-source CMS the rest of the web is built on. Webflow is faster to author; WordPress is more flexible, owns the source code, and runs on your infrastructure. The 3-year TCO difference is the platform fee. If your team has outgrown Webflow's limits — custom integrations, complex editorial workflows, multi-region deployments — the move to WordPress pays back. If Webflow's authoring experience is the right fit for your team and the platform fee is sustainable, stay on Webflow.
How we help
We deliver fresh WordPress builds for marketing and content sites. We do not migrate from Webflow to WordPress as a service — the migration cost rarely pays back, and we will tell you that in discovery. The WordPress build covers the CMS, the custom design, the editorial workflow, the integrations, and the hosting setup. Most marketing-site builds are 4–8 weeks; sites with custom configurators or dealer-locator integrations run 8–12 weeks.
Engagement shape — Fixed-scope engagement. Indicative cost band for a marketing site or content hub: ₹3–8 lakh. Sites with custom configurators or dealer-locator integrations: ₹5–12 lakh. The range is on our pricing hub.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a WordPress build take?
Most marketing-site builds are 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch; sites with custom configurators or dealer-locator integrations run 8–12 weeks. We will give you a tighter range once we have seen the design and the integration scope in discovery.
What does a WordPress build cost in India?
A marketing site or content hub typically runs ₹3–8 lakh. Sites with custom configurators or dealer-locator integrations: ₹5–12 lakh. The full range is on our pricing hub.
Do you migrate from Webflow to WordPress?
Not as a service — the migration cost rarely pays back, and the Webflow authoring experience is genuinely good. We will tell you in discovery if the move makes sense for your case; usually the answer is to stay on Webflow and invest the migration cost in the next site.
Should we stay on Webflow instead?
Possibly — if your team values Webflow's authoring experience, if the platform fee is sustainable over the 3-year horizon, and if you do not need the custom integrations and editorial workflows WordPress supports. The decision is not about WordPress being better; it is about which authoring model and which data-ownership posture fits your team.
