Webflow's Workspaces have a rapidly growing set of capabilities, and there are a lot of different configurations you can run your workspaces under.
Here's a quick overview to guide you down the right path.
Use One FREE Workspace If...
You're just trying out Webflow, and...
- Your site is initially small, no more than 2 static pages
- You want to test out a range of features ( memberships, CMS, ECom ) in a limited capacity just to see if they'll work for you.
- You have 2 or less unhosted sites ( no paid Site plan ) in your Workspace
Use One Freelancer / Agency Workspace If...
You need to be able to export the site for upload to another hosting service, OR...
You are building sites for others, and...
- You want to be able to be invited into another Workspace as a designer guest
- You are building multiple sites at the same time
Use the Designer-centric approach if...
- You want to host these in your own Workspace, and bill clients for hosting
- You will be the only one working in the Designer
- If the site is localized, you will be the only one performing localized content updates
- You want complete control over the site
Use the Agency-centric approach if...
- You want to host sites in your client's workspace, with your client paying the monthly hosting fees directly to Webflow
- You want the client to also have access to the designer
- If the site is localized, you want the client to be able to update localized content themselves
- You want the client to have complete control over the site, while you have designer access as well.
