"beautiful" and "responsive" have become two of the biggest "buzzword bingo" words of the web these last few years. So many people telling you that their stuff is beautiful that the word starts to lose value.

"Responsive" is pretty factual - something either is or it isn't responsive.

"Beautiful" and "awesome", however, I could do without seeing everywhere for a few months. Especially "awesome".

1000 form submissions per site and month in the top plan ($840 per year) and $0.01 for each after reaching the limit? They don't mean clicking on the submit button of a HTML form, do they? That would mean that a bot submitting a form every second for 24 hours would add $864 to the bill.

I love Webflow, and have used it for multiple projects, but I personally feel like it's way too expensive. As a student, I could literarily get the entire adobe creative suite for cheaper than the Webflow plan I would need would cost. And, as I only create a few static web pages a year, there's no way I can justify paying for Webflow.

Prices are way too high for me as well. I hope they are noticing these comments and can come up with better pricing plans.

I agree also.

That UI Kit is nice. Anyone know if it is open source or if there is something similar to it out there?

Don't forget "delightful". I've even seen a networking library described as delightful. Needless to say, it wasn't.

But it's not always a necessity to be responsive.

I'm a designer and know about them for some time, but I really dislike the pay-every-month plan. That's not how it works for me with design jobs. I might need several projects at once and have no (webdesign)projects after that. I'd rahter see a pay-as-you-go plan. Also: bugfixing. I think I still need someone to do that for me with a service like this.

I have never used webflow, but it seems to me that you could create a project and then when you are happy with it, you could "export" the site. This gives you the css/html/js necessary. Then you could put the site on your own hosting and then cancel your plan. That way you would only pay the months that you are actually using it.

"Responsive" is pretty factual - something either is or it isn't responsive.

But unfortunately the original meaning of "responsive" as Marcotte coined the term has been diluted by people who apply the term to any site that uses media queries to change its layout on a mobile device. There is more to responsive web design than media queries, and there are plenty of ways to use media queries to adapt a site to different devices that aren't responsive web design.
