Challenges with Webflow

Key pain points

Now for the part that Webflow doesn’t put on their homepage. The pricing escalates fast. $29/month for a basic CMS plan is already painful, but enterprise plans running into $60,000+ a year for high-traffic sites? The CMS editor is the other pain point everyone loves to hate. Tiny text fields, clunky formatting, random quirks, and in some cases, hitting “save” has accidentally unpublished live articles. Yes, really. Not exactly the confidence you want from a content platform.

Then there are the technical walls. Only one designer can edit at a time. No repeater fields. CMS reference limits that force weird workarounds. And if you ever want to leave Webflow? Good luck. The exported code loses CMS features and animations, so your “no-code” site suddenly needs… code. Everywhere.

Expensive pricing tiers

Webflow starts cheap, but the moment you need CMS items, traffic, or team features, the bill jumps fast. If you want just 10 pages, go ahead. But if you need an enterprise website, we suggest reconsidering.

Outdated CMS editor interface

For all the design polish, the CMS editor feels stuck in another decade. Tiny text fields, formatting quirks, and the occasional “why did that unpublish my live page?” moment doesn't help content teams move fast.

CMS reference limitations

Complex content models often require hacks, workarounds, or custom code anyway, which defeats the “no-code” dream. It doesn't have repeaters or shallow reference depth, and collection limits add friction to what should be simple tasks.

Single-designer collaboration limit

Only one designer can work in the Webflow canvas at a time. On larger projects, this turns teamwork into a queue.

Third-party integration dependency

If you need advanced features, prepare to stitch in custom code or third-party services. The plugin ecosystem is small, so extending Webflow usually means bolting on tools outside the platform.

Limited export functionality

You can export your site, but you lose CMS features, interactions, and animations the moment you do. It’s more like a one-way door than a portable build.

Benefits of Kontent.ai

Key advantages

Calling your CMS “Kontent dot ai” is a brilliant way to convince people you’ve built an AI-powered future. And to be fair, the platform does have a clean editor, strong workflow tools, and a respectable multi-channel setup.

It's perfect for the kind of company that has more infosec members than it does have devs. But calling yourself an AI platform doesn’t mean you’re built like one.

Real AI-driven CMS platforms start at the foundation with structured content, flexible modeling, real-time indexing, and an architecture that doesn’t panic the moment you try something complex. Sanity doesn’t even market itself as “AI-first,” but it’s been ahead of the curve for years. They shipped an embedding index before “AI CMS” was a pitch deck buzzword. We even built one of the first AI search tools on top of it.

So yes, Kontent.ai is great. If you want a polished interface and enterprise workflows, go for it. And if you’re dead-set on building your website there, talk to us first. We’ll walk you through it and maybe even find a better way before you spend six months discovering the limits yourself.

Intuitive content management

You shouldn’t need a week of onboarding to publish a paragraph. Kontent.ai nails this with a clean interface that doesn’t punish you for being a marketer instead of a developer.

Flexible content modeling

Build content the way your brain works. Modular, structured, reusable. No dev intervention every time marketing decides “we need one more field.”

Strong API-first architecture

The APIs are predictable, well-documented, and don’t require wild workarounds. Everything connects the way it should and developers stay happy too.

Tech stack integration

React, Vue, Angular, or whatever framework you’re obsessed with this week, Kontent.ai plays nice with all of them and keeps deployments smooth.

Advanced image transformations

You can resize, crop, and optimize visuals without leaving the CMS. Think of it as an in-house designer that doesn’t complain about aspect ratios.

Real-time collaboration

Writers, editors, and developers can work together without stepping on each other’s commits. Instant updates, fewer Slack messages, and zero “who overwrote my draft?” moments.
