A Better Way Forward for Developers and Clients Alike
At Gaslamp Village Media Inc., we’ve been around long enough to have seen just about every web development trend come and go. Over the years, we’ve worked with a wide range of technologies and content management systems... everything from hand-coded HTML websites to platforms like WordPress, Drupal, October CMS, ModX, and Statamic.
Each of these tools served a purpose at some point in time. They got the job done, but not without limitations. As the web evolved and client expectations became more sophisticated, we found ourselves asking hard questions about performance, ease of use, long-term maintainability, and security.
Eventually, those questions led us to one answer: Webflow. Today, we build exclusively in Webflow. Here's why.
WordPress and Drupal are the heavyweights of open-source CMS platforms. They’re popular for a reason... but popularity doesn't equal simplicity, security, or speed.
Here are some of the common issues we ran into:
We realized that these weren’t just developer headaches. They created real problems for our clients too.
Webflow takes a different approach. It combines the visual control of a design tool with the power of custom code and the simplicity of a hosted, all-in-one platform.
For us as developers, this means:
But the real win is what it offers our clients.
Most of our clients aren’t developers. They’re business owners, communications teams, and marketers who need to keep their websites up to date without having to call us every time they want to change a headline.
Webflow solves that beautifully.
Here’s a simplified comparison:
Hosting
Webflow: Built-in, managed
WordPress/Drupal: External setup required
Security & Updates
Webflow: Automatic
WordPress/Drupal: Manual and ongoing
Visual Design Control
Webflow: Full, real-time
WordPress/Drupal: Theme-based, limited
Client Editing Experience
Webflow: Simple, visual, safe
WordPress/Drupal: Complex, often risky
Plugin Reliance
Webflow: Minimal
WordPress/Drupal: Heavy
Page Speed & Performance
Webflow: Optimized, fast
WordPress/Drupal: Depends on setup/plugins.
The bottom line is this... Webflow reduces complexity on every level. It empowers us to focus on design and function without getting bogged down in patchwork workarounds. It gives our clients the confidence to use their website without fear.
Webflow also helps us future-proof your site:
As your business evolves, your website can grow with you... without needing to be rebuilt or restructured from scratch.
At Gaslamp Village, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We’ve supported legacy platforms long after they should have been retired. We’ve patched the plugins. We’ve fixed the white screens of death. We’ve dealt with hacked dashboards.
We’re done with all that.
We now build only with Webflow because it allows us to do better work... and deliver a better experience to our clients.
If you’re ready for a website that’s beautiful, functional, easy to manage, and secure by default, let’s talk.
We’re here to build it with Webflow.
We offer friendly, fanatical customer service when you need it (Unless we're asleep... but we'll get to you when we aren't!)!
If your site needs a content update and you're not able (or don't want to) tackle the chore of changing it yourself, we can help! Even if we didn't build it!
