SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Webflow announced its recognition as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Content Management Systems, Q1 2025 report. Webflow’s inclusion highlights a growing industry trend: marketing leaders are balancing tighter budgets, AI-driven shifts in organic traffic, and growing inefficiencies of overcomplicated tech stacks, all while being expected to deliver more impact than ever. Traditional open-source CMS platforms lack flexibility, digital experience platforms (DXPs) are complex and resource-intensive, and headless CMS solutions, while promising, often require significant developer support. As a result, companies are replatforming to modern solutions that deliver AI-powered capabilities without compromise.
“We believe Forrester’s research confirms what we hear from businesses every day: teams want more control over their websites without trade-offs,” said Rachel Wolan, Chief Product Officer at Webflow. “For too long, companies have had to choose between rigid, resource-heavy platforms or all-in-one suites that lack flexibility. Webflow brings the best of both worlds, giving businesses a powerful, scalable solution that empowers teams to build, manage, and optimize their websites with ease.”
A New Standard for CMS
Webflow attributes its recognition as a Strong Performer in the Forrester CMS Wave Report as a reflection of an industry-wide transformation. Enterprises are prioritizing CMS platforms that make it easier to create and manage digital experiences without relying on expansive resources for every update.
