Static sites look pretty, but they don't do much.
Webflow knows this, and they've continued to add basic functionality that gives us capabilities beyond what a static site can.
Currently, I describe these as Webflow's Subsystems, and they include;
- CMS - Database-like content management, which allows you to centralize and manage consistent content- blog articles, press releases, real estate property listings, staff listings, etc.
- Commerce - Online store functionality, including product, variants, and a checkout capability.
- Memberships - Member management and login capability, with the ability to "gate" content so that it is accessible only to specific access groups.
- Logic - Webflow's in-built automation solution.
Announced Nov-2022, Webflow is also building out;
- Library and Components, which can be added into your Webflow projects
- Multilingual - The ability to support multilingual translations directly within Webflow.
