For years, WordPress has been the go-to website platform for businesses of all sizes. It’s flexible, widely used, and has a massive library of plugins. But in 2025, we’re seeing a growing trend: businesses are leaving WordPress behind in favour of Webflow.

And it’s not just a trend for trend’s sake. There are some serious reasons behind the shift—and if you’re a business owner, marketing manager, or someone tasked with keeping your website up to scratch, it’s worth paying attention.

At SLATE, we’ve helped businesses across industries make the switch from WordPress to Webflow—streamlining their web presence, cutting unnecessary costs, and unlocking creative freedom.

Come for a short stroll with our web developer, Mitchell, and see why companies are moving, and how we can help you do it too!

🔵 Constant plugin updates

🔵 Compatibility issues

🔵 Surprise security vulnerabilities

🔵 That sinking feeling when a plugin breaks… and takes your website with it

Webflow does away with all that. It’s an all-in-one platform, so things like SEO tools, responsive design, forms, and animations are baked in—no extra plugins needed. At SLATE, we’ve worked with clients who have shaved hours off their monthly website maintenance time just by switching to Webflow.

No more nervously waiting for your next plugin update to crash the site!

With WordPress, your site speed often depends on your hosting setup, bloated themes, and those ever-growing plugins.

Webflow sites are lightweight and fast, with hosting on a global CDN that’s optimised for speed right out of the box. One of our recent clients saw their site speed scores jump from 60 to 95+ on Google PageSpeed Insights the week after their migration.

Webflow gives you complete control over your website’s design—without the limitations of rigid themes or templates.

As Webflow developers, we love that we can prototype and build directly in the platform. No handoff issues, no disconnect between design and development. And if your team wants to make updates down the line, they’ll find the Editor Interface simple and intuitive—no confusing dashboards or messy backends.

Webflow takes care of security without you lifting a finger. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is automatic, Webflow’s infrastructure is secure, and there’s no back-end to hack. For businesses who need peace of mind (and who doesn’t?), it’s a no-brainer.

We handle the entire process:

🔵 Site audit

🔵 Content migration

🔵 Custom design & build

🔵 SEO redirects and setup

🔵 Launch and post-launch support

No downtime. No lost rankings. Just a sleek, fast, future-proof website.
