Webflow is favored by larger companies and high-traffic sites, indicating that it is a powerful and reliable CMS. As a dedicated no-code agency, we've seen significant interest from the US in recent years, and now we are observing a growing interest in the Scandinavian market. We anticipate that the next few years will be a turning point for no-code sites in Denmark.

Webflow is a relatively new player in the Content Management System (CMS) market, but it is quickly gaining popularity in the United States and globally. According to data from builtwith.com, Webflow is currently the 18th most popular CMS in the US and the 19th globally.

However, Webflow's market share is significantly smaller in Scandinavia compared to the US. Out of the 392,740 live Webflow websites detected worldwide on builtwith.com, only 1,642 sites in Denmark, 3,199 in Norway and 2,946 in Sweden are running on Webflow. This is in stark contrast to the 197,196 sites running on Webflow in the US.

WordPress, One.com, and Wix are still the main CMSs in Scandinavia, all of which are template-based systems. The major difference and benefit of Webflow is its no-code approach, which gives designers and organizations the freedom to create unique sites that are free of template restrictions, supporting and strengthening their brands.

Webflow boasts a higher amount of traffic

According to the data from W3Techs, Webflow has a smaller market reach compared to competitors such as Squarespace, but it boasts a higher amount of traffic on hosted sites. The chart from W3Techs shows that Webflow sites attract more traffic on average than sites built on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and even the biggest CMS of all, WordPress.

We assume this may be due to Webflow's ability to create unique and engaging user experiences compared to template-based system. In addition to being a reliable and powerful platform, Webflow is able to attract and retain a significant amount of traffic on its hosted sites.
