I published an article that compares Webflow and Webstudio. I think I was pretty fair. Let me know if you'd like to see any changes to it.

Webstudio is the best alternative to Webflow, but it has some growth to do before it is truly better.

That's what we're here for! 💪

Thanks for writing this thoughtful article John!

btw here is our repo with design assets https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio-design/blob/main/brand/logo-icon-color.svg

the logo in the hero image looks off

Use pretty much all CSS properties

actually if you consider all CSS properties vs webflow style panel, its by far not all, probably not even half, but majority of what people use 80% of the time
OOleg Isonen
we are still no better at Webstudio, worse even, but we have a plan to solve it with CSS editor that would allow to use all other properties using text notation while still staying in sync with style panel, so when one changes the other changes too

Tokens section image seems to have bad url

Tags – Which let you style global tags like H1s and links

Nice, but we still haven't added those 🙈

I like your idea of defining 3 categories of site builders in terms of layouts!
OOleg Isonen
might want to link that the concept of design tokens is based off an official standard that is in draft phase https://second-editors-draft.tr.designtokens.org/format/
OOleg Isonen
so that the design tokens concept doesn't sound like something invented by us

"Pricing model is pretty good for what you get!"

Actually gets very expensive with certain features and is not allowing people to learn properly for free by experimenting

Webflow is feature rich, it even has Logic which lets you define automations natively in Webflow like sending contact form submissions to your email marketing software.

just in case we got this too

So they aren't recreating a CMS but just letting you connect to platforms such as WordPress.

maybe also mention some others to not let someone think ts about WordPress, e.g. sanity, strapi

good job!

A great read! Well done @John Siciliano 🚀
JJohn Siciliano
Ah very cool I like this idea
JJohn Siciliano
Thanks this is fixed... it was because I have a Cloudlfare worker that modifies Webflow asset urls to use Cloudflare's compression and delivery service and that image was a GIF which isn't supported. Damn Webflow workarounds 😉
JJohn Siciliano
Ha yeah... I just added coming soon for now
JJohn Siciliano
Can you clarify what you mean by this?
OOleg Isonen

Webflow is feature rich, it even has Logic which lets you define automations natively in Webflow like sending contact form submissions to your email marketing software.

Webstudio form sends by default to your email, but you can setup n8n and other tools to receive the form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeJVpfemwj0
and then forward it to anything e.g. email or something else, tons of integrations there
JJohn Siciliano
Ah gotcha. The main point was that Logic is native so you don't need to manage or pay for a third party tool. 100% you can accomplish similar stuff, just through a third party tool
