It needs to be said more, that these are vanity metrics and have no bearing on SEO. Google has essentially confirmed this.
It’s frightening how many developers are confusing clients by telling them that lighthouse scores are important.

So I think I'm going to throw my hat into the

It's more of an approach to building in Webflow than a CSS framework as such, meaning it's fairly class naming agnostic.

One thing we take for granted with

is that when we inherit a project, the builder is the same.
Inheriting a WordPress project means any number of builders/custom themes or god forbid, the block editor.

The direction

This might be game changing...

So this means you can change pretty much any styling within a component (if you pre-define it) and even

I didn’t realise Framer is considerably more expensive than Webflow, if you need to match what a Webflow business plan offers 😮
In Framer you’d need:

$100 bandwidth upgrade
$220 per month.
Is this right?

One problem with parts of the WordPress community/ecosystem is the attitude to pricing.
Bricks is probably appropriately priced for the WordPress audience, but it could be three times the cost and it’d still be an absolute bargain.

I love Webflow, but it isn’t the right tool for every client. A few reasons would be:

ACF is more powerful than Webflow CMS collections
No limitation on CMS items
No limitations with reference fields
