Blogs aren’t just another Y2K trend that’s coming back around – they’re a powerful tool for companies, marketing teams, and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Despite some speculation over the last few years that blogging has gone the way of cable tv and department stores, blogging isn’t dead – far from it! But if you want to carve out a niche for your blog and get your content in front of readers, you’re going to need the right tools for the job.

Enter Webflow.

Webflow’s no-code-required websites have exploded in popularity since the company launched in 2013, and there’s a reason so many people and companies turn to the platform to create professional portfolios, ecommerce stores, and yes – blogs. Here are a few reasons why we think Webflow wins out over the other website builders out there.

1. Intuitive Content Management System

Keep Blog Posts, Author Bios, Categories, and More Organized

For bloggers, content is king. And that means having an easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) is essential.

Webflow’s CMS allows you to create custom “collections” to store all of your content. You can start with preset templates for blogs, categories, authors, and anything else you might need to keep organized – or start from scratch. Then, just fill in the blanks.

We’re also obsessed with Webflow’s rich text editor. Most website builders make it simple to add basic formatting – like making text bold or italic, or adding headings – but more advanced formatting like embedding videos or adding lists can be a pain to figure out. It may not seem like much, but those little time drains really add up as you keep adding content week after week.

In Webflow, it just takes a couple of clicks.

2. Responsive Templates

You Don’t Have to Be a Web Developer to Build a Beautiful Blog!

Ready to get writing? Then there’s no need to waste time dusting off your HTML skills from customizing your old Tumblr page. Webflow offers a ton of responsive blog templates that work out of the box – all you need to do is customize.

3. No Coding Required, But Custom Code Supported

Make It Your Own or Keep It Simple – The Choice Is Yours

Customizing your site is a great way to make it stand out if you have the technical know-how. In Webflow, you can add custom header or footer code across the whole site in site settings or to a specific page or page template in the designer.

4. Create an RSS Feed with the Flip of a Switch

Help Readers Keep Up with Your Content

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (yes, really!) – and readers can use it to gather the updates from all their favorite sites in one dashboard. Setting it up in Webflow is easy as flipping a switch – then you can update your channel’s description, set a template for item names and descriptions, and more.

Pro tip: RSS feeds aren’t just helpful for readers – you can also use your feed to trigger events like automatically posting to social media using tools like Zapier.

5. Easy Integrations

Supercharge Your Site with Third-Party Tools

Wanna make the images on your blog pinnable to get those sweet, sweet Pinterest follows? Or maybe you need a way to add new sign ups to your newsletter list? Don’t worry – there’s an integration for that with plenty of documentation to help you get started.

6. Customizable Meta Tags + Descriptions

SEO is Baked Right Into Webflow Blogs

SEO – or Search Engine Optimization – is a powerful tool for bloggers. As an organic marketing channel, it doesn’t require a financial investment but can still do wonders for increasing traffic to your blog.

Title tags and meta descriptions are fundamental to setting your site up for SEO success. In Webflow, they can easily be updated from the settings on any page or page template.

7. Free and Paid Options

You Don’t Need a Big Budget to Build a Blog

Need some time to figure out what your blog’s all about? Or maybe you just want to test run how blogging fits into your busy schedule before you commit to the project? No need to burn your budget on weeks of hosting while you get settled.

Webflow automatically scans your site for several common accessibility bugaboos and flags them so that you can fix before you go live.

13. Automatic Backups + Version History

Wouldn’t it be nice if life came with an undo button? Well at least when it comes to publishing your blog, there is one. Webflow keeps a log of old published versions of your site (on top of backups created every 50th autosave) so you can turn back the clock if you need to.

14. Collaboration
