Webflow vs. Astro for SaaS Marketing Sites: When to Pick Which
Webflow or a code-first framework like Astro? An honest comparison of speed, SEO, editing experience and cost for SaaS and B2B marketing websites.
We build fast, pixel-accurate sites in Webflow and Framer, with a CMS structured around your content and a component system your marketers can use without calling a developer.
What you get
Every project is scoped to your goals, but these are the pieces you can count on.
Consistent naming and reusable components, so new pages stay on-brand and the project never turns into a pile of one-off styles.
Collections for posts, case studies, landing pages and resources, with fields that match how your team actually writes.
Native interactions, GSAP or Framer motion where it helps the story, tuned so animation never hurts performance.
HubSpot, Salesforce, Memberstack, Make, Zapier and analytics wired up and tested, so leads land where they should.
Semantic headings, metadata, schema, sitemaps, image optimisation and Core Web Vitals checked before launch.
Short videos for every editable section and an optional live session, so your team is confident on launch day.
A visual website builder only pays off if your team can actually use it. Plenty of Webflow and Framer sites end up as fragile as hand-coded ones: hundreds of one-off classes, CMS collections that do not match the content, and a single person who knows how anything works.
We build the other way round. Before styling a single element, we work out what your team will publish over the next year, which sections they will reuse, and which pages need a developer and which should not. The build follows from that.
Structure first. We map your content into CMS collections and reusable sections. A case study, a blog post, a landing page and a customer logo each get fields that match how they are written and displayed.
A system, not a collection of pages. Styles live in a documented class system with global tokens for colour, type and spacing. New pages built by your team inherit the same rules, so the site stays consistent after we leave.
Pixel accuracy where it shows. We match your designs closely across breakpoints and fill in the responsive states that were never drawn. If you do not have designs yet, our web design team handles that first.
Integrations tested end to end. Forms go to your CRM, events go to analytics, gated content works with your membership tool. We test each path with real submissions, not just a green tick in the settings.
Performance and SEO checked before launch. Images are sized and compressed, scripts are deferred, headings are semantic and every page has proper metadata and schema. We run the same checks we use in our SEO and AEO work.
We are not a single-platform shop, which means the recommendation is honest:
Already on another platform? Our migration process moves you across without losing rankings.
Every build includes 30 days of support for bugs and small tweaks, Loom videos for each editable section, and an optional live training session. After that you can move to a care plan or call us when you need something. Either way, the project, hosting and domain stay in your name.

A freelancer is a good fit for a single page or a quick fix. An agency brings design, development, SEO and QA under one roof, so a full marketing site launches on schedule, with a documented component system and CMS that survive after handover, and without a single point of failure if someone is away.
Yes. Every build ships with semantic headings, metadata, schema, clean URLs, sitemaps and Core Web Vitals checked before launch, whichever platform it is on. If you want ongoing growth, our SEO and AEO service covers content, technical audits and AI-search visibility on top of the build.
Webflow is the stronger choice when you have a lot of CMS content, need granular SEO control or want a mature ecosystem of integrations. Framer is faster for design-led sites with lighter content and teams who already live in Figma-style tools. We recommend one on the intro call based on who will maintain the site.
Yes. We build from your Figma files and match them closely, including responsive states your designer may not have drawn. If a detail will cause problems in production, we flag it before building rather than quietly changing it.
A focused landing page or small site takes 2–3 weeks. A full marketing site with CMS and integrations usually takes 6–8 weeks including design. You get a week-by-week timeline in the proposal.
That is the point of building on these platforms. We structure the CMS and components so editors can add pages, posts and sections without breaking layouts, and we record Loom walkthroughs for everything editable.
You do. The Webflow or Framer project, hosting plan, domain and all design files sit in your accounts from the start. We work as collaborators and hand over cleanly at the end.
Yes. Every build includes Loom walkthroughs, and we run optional live training sessions for teams who want to go further, from editing CMS items to building new pages from components.
