Your first post on Webflow

Create a CMS collection and its fields
Design a template page and bind each field
Build and style a collection list for the index
Check each breakpoint, then write the post

Your first post on Typoza

Open the editor
Write the post
Publish it
The index, tag pages and feeds already exist

Setting up the first post, on each side. Webflow's steps happen once: after them, a new post takes little more than writing it.

Webflow is a professional design tool. It draws the HTML and CSS a front-end developer would write, with breakpoints, interactions and a CMS underneath, and designers use it to ship sites that match their drawings.

On Webflow, a blog is a CMS project. You create a collection and its fields, design a template page, bind each field to it, then build and style the list that shows the posts. Once that works, a new post is one more item in the collection.

Typoza starts from the post. There is no canvas and no template to build: you open the editor, write and publish, and the theme sets the layout of the post, the index, the tag pages and the feeds.

Point by point

Typoza and Webflow, point by point
What we compare	Typoza	Webflow
What you start with	An editor; Typoza builds the site around what you publish.	A canvas that draws real HTML and CSS, with a CMS behind it.
The first post	Write it and publish. Index, tags and feeds are already there.	A collection, a template page, a collection list and the bindings between them.
Learning it	Nothing to set up before you write.	A model to learn: collections, fields, references, lists.
Design	One theme, with your colours, fonts and text width.	Anything you can draw, at every breakpoint, with interactions.
What you pay for	One subscription per workspace, hosting included; your domain from Collective.	Site plans for hosting, and Workspace plans for the people who build.
Search engines	Per-post title and description, structured data, sitemap and share image, filled in for you.	Detailed settings per page and per collection, which you configure.
Newsletter	The Letter, built in.	Through a separate email service.
Export	Markdown and JSON at any time, with every image's address.	A CSV per CMS collection, and the site's static code on some plans.

What Webflow does better

Every comparison has this section, and it is never empty. We lose on these points:

Design. Webflow draws what a front-end developer would write; on Typoza you adjust colours, fonts and width, and that is the limit.
Interactions and animation, built visually, with no JavaScript to write.
A real CMS. Collections, fields, references and filters can model structures Typoza does not have: we offer posts, pages, categories and tags.
Client sites drawn to a brand. An agency can design each client's site from scratch; on Typoza, every workspace uses the same theme with its own colours and fonts.
It goes beyond a blog: landing pages, localised sites, an online shop.

Moving from Webflow

Webflow exports CMS content as CSV files, which our importer does not read. You move each post by copying it from its published page; the design and the CMS model stay in Webflow.

What comes across

Each post's words and structure. Headings, lists, quotes and links survive the copy from the published page.
Your slugs. Webflow shows the slug on each collection item; type the same one into Typoza.
Your domain, or a subdomain of it such as blog.yourdomain.com, served by Typoza from the Collective plan.
The rest of the Webflow site, if you keep it. Marketing pages can stay on Webflow while the blog moves to a subdomain.

What does not

The design. Nothing in Typoza reproduces a Webflow layout.
The CMS model: reference fields, multi-references, filters and sorts. On Typoza, a post has a category and tags.
Interactions and animations.
Images. The CSV lists their addresses, and you upload each one again.
Anything built on the Webflow API or on integrations around it.

So, which one?

Pick Webflow if…

Webflow earns its place when the design is the deliverable, when you build sites for clients, or when the blog is one section of a larger marketing site.

Pick Typoza if…

Typoza earns its place when the posts are the point, and you would rather write the next one than maintain a template.

Questions people ask next

Is Typoza a Webflow competitor?

Only for the blog. Webflow builds whole websites and Typoza publishes writing, so this page compares the one part they share.

Can I design my Typoza site?

Within one theme. You choose the colours, the fonts, the corner radius and the width of the text; you cannot move elements, add sections or write CSS. Coming from Webflow, that is a real loss of control.

What does a blog on Webflow cost?

Look at two lines on Webflow's pricing page: the Site plan that includes the CMS, and the Workspace plan for the people who edit. On Typoza, one subscription per workspace covers hosting and, from Collective, your domain.

Can I keep my Webflow site and add Typoza?

Yes. Leave the marketing site on Webflow, put the blog on a subdomain served by Typoza, and link the two. A subdomain is also the simplest kind of domain to connect.

Do I need technical skills?

No. There is little to learn because there is little model: posts, pages, categories and tags. The same simplicity sets the limit of what you can build.
