SiteFyd vs Hiring a Webflow Agency
Both deliver a custom-looking site. The differences are in who owns it and what it costs over time.
Webflow agencies build beautiful, editable sites on the Webflow platform. SiteFyd builds custom-coded sites you fully own. Both are valid choices — the right one depends on how often non-technical staff need to edit pages.
Our methodology
We compared 5-year total cost (including Webflow hosting), performance, and editing flexibility.
SiteFyd
Best for: Brands that want owned, fast, custom-coded sites without platform fees.
Pricing: $999-$4,999 one-time + $29/mo optional support.
Pros
- Fully owned source code
- No platform fees
- Lighthouse 95+
- Lifetime support
- Wide stack flexibility
Cons
- Edits require a developer
- Less ideal for content-heavy CMS work
Right answer when ownership and performance are top priorities.
Webflow agency
Best for: Marketing-led teams that need non-technical staff to edit pages daily.
Pricing: $3,500-$15,000 build + $29-$235/mo Webflow fees.
Pros
- Visual editor for non-developers
- Strong CMS
- Good ecosystem
- Easy interactions
Cons
- Webflow hosting fees forever
- Some custom code limited to embeds
- Quality varies between partners
Worth the lock-in if your team genuinely needs the visual editor.
The visual editor question
Webflow's killer feature is the visual editor. If your marketing team needs to publish 5 new landing pages a month without a developer, Webflow is hard to beat. If they only edit copy a few times a year, the platform fees are not justified.
Where SiteFyd fits
Webflow if you genuinely need the visual editor. SiteFyd if you want owned, performant code without ongoing platform fees.

Can SiteFyd build on Webflow if we want?
Yes. We build on Webflow when the visual editor is a real requirement. Otherwise we recommend custom code for ownership, performance, and zero platform fees.
Will I lose Webflow's CMS if we go custom?
No. We can pair a custom-coded site with a headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful, giving non-technical staff the same editing experience without Webflow's monthly fees.
