Website builders
Cliux vs Webflow
Pick Cliux if you want a drag-anywhere canvas, eleven built-in apps on every site and an agency console with per-site client access at a flat monthly price. Pick Webflow if you want a CMS with collections, code export, a large template market and hosting features such as staging and redirects.
In Webflow’s own words: “Webflow gives every team the tools to build, manage, and grow a website that drives real revenue.”

Moving over
How a move from Webflow works
There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.
There is no import tool, and Webflow's code export is not something Cliux reads. Open the old site beside a new Cliux site and rebuild each page on the canvas; text and images copy across, the layout is redrawn.
Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old site live until you are happy.
Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.
