Managed platform
When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer
On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.
What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.
What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.
Where Webflow wins
- Design powerBespoke sites with custom animations and pixel-level control, if you have a designer who lives in it.
- Clean, fast outputClean code and fast pages, with hosting and a capable CMS built in.
- Cheap hosting if you already have the site$15–$25/mo billed annually is inexpensive hosting once the site is already built.

WorkspaceCMS vs Webflow: common questions
Is WorkspaceCMS cheaper than Webflow?
It depends what you count. Webflow's hosting plans are cheap (Basic is $15 a month and Premium $25 a month billed annually), but the plan doesn't build the site. Most business owners pay a Webflow designer or agency thousands of dollars for the build, then pay again for changes. WorkspaceCMS starts at $89 a month with the build included free and a team making your updates, so the total cost of a done, maintained website is usually lower.
Can I move my Webflow site to WorkspaceCMS?
Yes. We rebuild your site for free on WorkspaceCMS (your pages, your content, your branding) and plan the switchover so visitors never notice. Your domain stays yours, your old links keep working, and nothing goes live without your approval.
Do I need to know how to use Webflow to use WorkspaceCMS?
No, that's the point. You never log into a website tool, and there are no classes to take. You send update requests in plain English and our team designs, implements, and publishes the changes for you.
What happens if my Webflow designer disappears?
It's a common story: the site was built by a freelancer who has since moved on, and now no one on your team can safely touch it. With WorkspaceCMS there's no single person holding the keys. A staffed team at 1Digital, an agency working since 2012, builds and runs your site with fast response times by plan.
Is there a contract with WorkspaceCMS?
Plans start with a 12-month commitment (that's what funds the free build), then go month-to-month. Essentials, Growth, and Premium include a 30-day money-back guarantee that starts the day we deliver your first design. On any plan, cancel before we deliver your first design and you get every dollar back, with no time limit.
Who owns my content on WorkspaceCMS?
You do. If you ever leave, you can export all of your content as JSON and your redirects as a CSV. Your domain and your words stay yours.
Does WorkspaceCMS handle SEO like a Webflow agency would?
The SEO foundation is core to the product: WorkspaceCMS is built by an SEO agency, and every site is built so Google and assistants like ChatGPT understand and recommend your business. Ongoing growth campaigns (keyword strategy, content production, link building, AI recommendation growth) are a separate add-on run by our strategy team, like hiring a Webflow agency for growth work.
Your Webflow site looks great, but can AI find it?
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity only recommend sites they can read. Most small-business sites fail that test. Scan yours free and see exactly where you stand.
