Webflow, once a popular choice for building dynamic websites, has recently made significant changes that have left many users, especially those who rely on membership features, feeling frustrated and uncertain about the platform’s future.
Key Changes:
- Deprecation of Logic and User Accounts: These essential features for creating membership sites will no longer be available after specific dates. Instead, Webflow is pushing users towards third-party integrations like Zapier, Make, Outseta, and Memberstack.
- Price Increases: Webflow has increased its pricing plans, making it more expensive for users to utilize the platform.
The Impact on Membership Sites
The deprecation of Logic and User Accounts, coupled with the price hikes, has significant implications for those who rely on Webflow to build membership sites:
- Increased Complexity: Relying on third-party integrations can add complexity to your website setup and maintenance.
- Additional Costs: These third-party integrations often come with additional costs, further increasing the overall expense of using Webflow.
- Limited Customization: Third-party integrations may not offer the same level of customization and flexibility as a native membership system.
- Potential for Technical Issues: Integrating multiple services can introduce potential technical issues and compatibility problems.
