Not a sponsored opinion. A practical breakdown of why Webflow consistently outperforms WordPress, Squarespace and custom builds for practices of 5–100 people.

WordPress requires ongoing maintenance, plugin updates and a developer on call for anything non-trivial. Squarespace limits what you can build and makes it hard to migrate away. Custom builds are expensive upfront and expensive to maintain. Webflow sits in a different position: it gives a practice genuine control over content, genuine design flexibility, and a CMS that non-technical team members can actually use.

For built environment practices specifically, Webflow's CMS structure allows for the kind of multi-field project records, sector, programme, scale, material palette, planning authority, that make filtering systems genuinely useful rather than decorative.
