Challenges with Kontent.ai
We've always been known to talk trash about WordPress, Framer and especially Prismic. It's fun and theraputic but truth be told Kontent.ai deserves it's fair share of aggro.
Pricing is hidden behind “book a demo” and their vague "price calculator". Basic features require developer elbow grease, and replacing a single image gives you a brand-new URL like it’s 2009. At scale, the API rate limits and bare-bones taxonomy start to feel less “enterprise” and more “please slow down, you’re scaring the CMS.”
If you’re absolutely set on using Kontent.ai, give us a shout. We’ll try to make it work… or find you something that won’t make your content team cry into their spreadsheets.
Key pain points
Hidden pricing model
Kontent.ai loves a “contact sales” button. Great if you're an enterprise with a procurement department, not so great if you're just trying to budget a project. Until you get a quote, you’re basically guessing.
Complex initial setup requirements
The platform is polished, but the setup isn’t plug-and-play. Getting projects wired correctly, especially when it comes to multi-channel setup, usually requires a developer, documentation, and a quiet room to scream into.
Missing out-of-box preview system
Unlike most modern CMS platforms, there's no native live preview. You have to build a custom preview pipeline, which adds effort, cost, and another item to the dev team’s already depressing backlog.
Asset replacement URL issues
Swap an image or file, and Kontent.ai generates a new URL, which means link rot and cleanup duties no one asked for. Publishing teams feel this pain the fastest.
API rate limiting constraints
API-first is great until you hit the rate limit. 100 requests per second is fine for small sites, but high-traffic apps need careful caching or extra infrastructure to avoid bottlenecks
Limited Management API coverage
The Management API doesn’t expose every UI action, so automation hits a ceiling. Some tasks still require clicking through the interface, which defeats half the point of going headless.
Benefits of Webflow
We're really trying to think of a good reason to love Webflow, and if you’re building a simple marketing site, a portfolio, or a 10-page brochure site, it works. Designers get pixel-perfect layouts without touching code, the HTML it spits out is clean, hosting is included, and nobody has to panic over plugin updates or random server outages. In that world, Webflow is for you.
One of the Reddit users who likes Webflow states that it has global CDN, SSL handling, and 99.99% uptime without touching a server or updating a single plugin. But to be real, Webflow isn't a platform to build on top of, it's a "one and done" kind of thing. Honestly just go to fiverr and find somebody who's designs don't suck.
But if you are dead set on it, connect with us, and we will try to develop the best solution for you.
Key advantages
Visual design without coding
Designers can build the site they see in their heads without waiting on a dev or translating Figma to HTML. You just drag, drop, animate, and publish. If you can design it, Webflow will render it.
Global CDN infrastructure
Your site gets served fast everywhere, without you configuring servers or worrying about uptime charts. Webflow handles delivery at scale, and pages load like they’ve had three shots of espresso.
Automatic SSL management
You don't need any certificates, renewals, or late-night expiration scares. SSL is handled out of the box, so security stops being a chore and starts being standard.
Clean semantic HTML output
Unlike many no-code builders, Webflow doesn’t produce spaghetti markup. The code it generates is tidy, semantic, and Google-friendly, which is why performance is generally strong.
Built-in SEO optimization
Webflow gives you proper SEO controls with meta titles, descriptions, alt text, structured data, and Open Graph. You don't need plugins or setup. It has native tools that keep your site search-friendly.
Plugin-free architecture
Webflow ships with most essentials built in, so you’re not babysitting 12 plugins just to keep the lights on. Fewer moving parts means fewer things blowing up.
