If you're a Webflow pro, you're all set here.
If you're new to Webflow, you have a little bit of groundwork to do.
Webflow is not Wordpress.
Wordpress is a blogging platform that already has a CMS and article views designed specifically for blogs.
Webflow is a general-purpose site-building platform. It can do all those things and much more, but you design it from the ground-up, the way you want.
Is Webflow the Right Tool for my blog?
If you're planning a large & complex blog, and you're not familiar with both Webflow and Wordpress, it's worth comparing.
Jeff (@webdev) in the Webflow forums has a few excellent points here;
- Webflow's rich text editor has limitations vs. WP's block editor
- You cannot do conditional blocks on a per-blog-entry basis easily in Webflow
- Responsive images inside of Webflow's rich text fields are weak
What You Need to Know, First
The most central things...
- The CMS and dynamic content
