Is it worth hiring a specialized Webflow development agency over a traditional dev shop?
-
Yo folks! I run digital campaigns for a mid-sized retail brand and I've been doing so for about 4 years. This year, we experienced a gigantic obstacle when it came to our old custom website. Every time marketing wanted to make a new landing page or changed positioning on existing content we had to open a ticket to engineering and wait a two-week sprint deployment.
In the last quarter leadership finally greenlit our site migration. We chose a dedicated webflow development agency, and I can confidently say that it's completely transformed our daily operations.
Working with a webflow design agency has revolutionized our approach to web production. We went from getting stuck in dev cycles for weeks to having a modular component system built in Webflow. The design team can now just drop in styled sections, quickly make copy changes, and launch the page in less than an hour without breaking global styles and without developer support.
The thing that blew me away the most was the clean code that the agency created. Our old system was so bloated, but the agency created a very visual CMS architecture that our first-time copywriters could pick up within a few hours. Page load speeds also decreased by close to 50%, and our search performance increased dramatically after the go-live period.
If your team faces hiccups caused by your dev pipeline, bringing on a webflow agency to handle the migration project is absolutely worth the cost. Has anyone else been through a migration recently? Would love to hear how it sped up your internal deployment!
