If the Webflow website was built and designed using only Webflow, then I would be impressed.

(Co-founder here...) The Webflow.com website was mostly designed in Webflow, but we had some limitations at the time that required us to hand-code things. A new version is in the works that is completely created in Webflow, so it's only a matter of time :) Pretty much all of our other sites (e.g. [1][2]) are already built/hosted/managed on Webflow.

Really?

i think not - you can only go/do basic stuff with sites like this, at the end of the day some level of coding will be required

(Co-founder of Webflow here...) Would you say these are basic? (All created with Webflow.) http://artemis.com/ http://cmplain.com/ http://www.zombi.nl/ http://zombidemos.webflow.com/ https://webflow.com/gallery

did you notice i italicized "basic" on my comment, it depends on your view of "basic"

on HN level, i say they're all basic

Is it a web only tool?

For now, yes, it's a web-only tool. Though we may create a standalone app sometime in the future!

+1 As someone who has used webflow, I would love this.

I'm mostly a backend dev, who knows basic frontend stuff. If I need to build a marketing website should I choose WebFlow or Startup Design Framework? Does WebFlow uses Bootstrap 3?

"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…

Well, at that point, it's really just a matter of opinion. If a layout uses media queries to 'respond' to different screen sizes, it is by definition 'responsive'. Anything past that starts to be an aesthetic/no true scotsman type of argument.

Well, at that point, it's really just a matter of opinion.

I don't have much interest in a lengthy argument about this, but FYI, the term "Responsive Web Design" was coined by Ethan Marcotte in an article for A List Apart in May 2010[1]. What it means is only a No True Scotsman type of argument if you choose to ignore the original source, or maybe if you want to argue about whether "responsive web design" and "Responsive Web Design" mean different things, neither of which seems particularly constructive.

This is what we did with contentactivator.com. We wanted to promote our app through the sites we built. We even used it for our support site at help.contentactivator.com.
