Considered Both Products
inkFrog
Chose inkFrog
We looked at Sellbrite. We really liked Sellbrite in view of its glowing reviews and integration with Etsy. However we didn't fully trial the program so I am not able to comment here more than to say that Inkfrog is by far the most economical option. We currently pay around $10 …
Chose inkFrog
We have not used any other products like inkFrog so unfortunately, I do not have anything to compare against. I do know that even with its faults, inkFrog is invaluable to us simply because of the amount of time it has freed up from managing eBay listings individually. And from …
Chose inkFrog
We used to use the eBay store and turbolister in the past for our eBay listings. InkFrog stacks much better than just the basic eBay store, which opened up our business to save a large amount of time as our eBay store keeps growing. We have also used quite a few other inventory …
Webflow
Chose Webflow
Framer is Webflow's closest competitor and has some advantages in the animation department, but Webflow has a bit more brand recognition among clients. WordPress is old-fashioned in its approach, and despite offering site-builder themes and plugins, still doesn't have native …
Chose Webflow
Webflow, in my opinion, is a better tool because it gives you more granular control over tools like Framer and Wix Studio.
Chose Webflow
Webflow is a great replacement for simple websites like WIX & Squarespace. Webflow, in its current incarnation, will never be able to overtake the ubiquity of WordPress pages, it lacks the automation & tooling of Supernova, the design capabilities of Figma, and the design -> …
Chose Webflow
Framer is for designers with no underlying knowledge of how a website works. It's more like designing a website in Figma. Webflow offers a better balance of design features and true website configurations.
Chose Webflow
Webflow is simply more powerful without getting bogged down like other platforms.
Chose Webflow
In my opinion, Webflow has the worst CMS I have used. All the other tools make it much easier to write, format, publish and organize content. There's a lot more flexibility and they have better UX. I would not choose Webflow if given the choice, I would only use it if the …
Chose Webflow
The UI and UX is definitely better. The flexibility on the design is also better. Webflow is more powerful than these tools.
Chose Webflow
It does not compare at all to WIX, in my opinion, it is an insult to them even comparing them side by side. No doubt WIX is 100 times better than Webflow. Wix has features that Webflow lacks and has extra help when needed. In my opinion, WIX customer service is astonishing …
Chose Webflow
We loved the feature set and extensibility. It's a little pricey but when we have the time to devote to a project it shows why Webflow is such a good fit. Of course there are lots of other things you can use it for, but it's been working for us for one-off marketing projects.
Chose Webflow
The code quality and speed can't even be compared to Elementor; Webflow is simply a much better tool. Instapage has a cool feature for dynamic landing pages, which changes according to Google Ads Keyword, which I miss; however, amazing webflow community members recreated that …
Chose Webflow
I would not say it has substitutes for all features of the other platforms, but overall it is better to use and implement. I would like to see Wix's user management, Shopify and WooCommerce's shop features, and WordPress' ability to host big enterprise blog management. The …
Chose Webflow
A lot more design control and easier to create a custom site, and then also to scale that site going forward. There's a lot about WordPress I miss, though, when it comes to managing a blog—user permissions, SEO control, edit HTML version of posts.
Chose Webflow
Compared to other closed platforms like Squarespace or Shopify, Webflow is much more developer friendly and customizable. The CMS is easier to use and much more flexible to design and develop in. Price points between the 3 are similar. Most of the 3rd party integrations for …
Chose Webflow
Webflow falls somewhere in between Wordpress as a most basic theme-based platform and HubSpot CMS Hub, which has nearly unlimited capabilities. The ease and pricing are a win for HubSpot but we still use and host sites using Wordpress as that is often a client's desire for …
Chose Webflow
Webflow is unmatched in its design customization and code output quality.
Chose Webflow
So, Webflow gave me the freedom that other platforms didn't in terms of not needing to code (in comparison to WordPress), and the site looks like a professional page rather than a generic average one, and then in terms of having more than just writing key findings (in …
Chose Webflow
Webflow is more comprehensive, so it is also a little bit harder to use. I selected Webflow because its component-based approach allows me to change content once, and it updates across multiple pages, which has saved me a significant amount of time. Sometimes, it can be …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
inkFrog really helps us out with eBay and reduces our overhead with it since it is nowhere near as labor-intensive as it used to be. It tracks our inventory from BigCommerce which really helps because it prevents us from over-selling items. However, sometimes it is a bit lacking. The user interface does take some getting used to and as stated before it can be a bit buggy.

The good outweighs the bad. I love how my webpage works, and it fulfills everything that I was trying to accomplish. The ability to tag and distribute content across the site saves a lot of time and energy. I just wish that custom elements were easier to reuse across pages and that it weren't so hard to figure out. This tool is better suited for someone who knows what they are doing, rather than a beginner.

Pros
  • Flexibility - there are a huge number of options for how to design your eBay store and display, price, list and sell your items on eBay. If you like having options for every eventuality, then Inkfrog is good with that! However, for us this is a double-edged sword - more about this on the next question.
  • Inkfrog sits within the admin area of my website, I like not having to leave my website to attend to eBay. And although it doesn't at all feel like it's part of my website, and ultimately I would have preferred a direct integration, this is a good next-best option.
  • Fabulous bulk upload options - you really can upload ALL of your inventory to eBay with just a few clicks. Such a time saver.
  • Good price point.

  • Easy to use and customize CMS.
  • Develop engaging CSS interactions and JavaScript animations visually.
  • Several competitively priced hosting tiers are available and all use AWS servers and Fastly CDN.
  • Code can be exported to be used with other CMS platforms such as WordPress, or E-Commerce platforms such as Shopify.

Cons
  • inkFrog can be a little buggy, however. Sometimes orders will not import into BigCommerce correctly and only show up in our BigCommerce store as a customer called 'Not Available' with no shipping or contact information. This is not common but it does happen enough to be a bit of an annoyance.
  • We would like to see the ability to offer the 'make an offer' functionality on items with variants. Currently, if it is an item that we want to use the 'make an offer' functionality we have to create a separate listing for each variant of that product.
  • Sometimes the customer service is a bit lacking. It is only done through email and you end up just getting a lot of automated responses. It would be really nice to talk to an actual person to describe issues as they can somewhat complex.

  • The Content Management System needs improvement. In my experience, it's very difficult to organise all our content at big volumes. We want to create a resources section where we can categorize our content but there isn't an easy or intuitive way to do it
  • In my opinion, it's incredibly difficult to create tables in an article
  • You have to do custom coding for anchor links within an article and it's time consuming and, in my opinion, super annoying
  • Website designs are not responsive we need to keep designing a separate mobile version
  • In my opinion, Formatting content in articles is annoying compared to other CMSs like Wordpress, Shopify, Wix, Blogger, etc. Worst experience I've had.
  • Changes to the nav bar on the homepage do not reflect universally, we needed to do the same changes all over again for our blog and mobile
  • Content editors need to keep logging in every time they add content

With a little education, I find Webflow incredibly easy to use. As previously mentioned, the Webflow University video library is amazing so anything you need help with is already available. That said, I do feel like it is a relatively steep learning curve and would be even steeper for someone who is completely new to Web Development, which is why I gave it the score I did.

In my experience, their customer service is an absolute joke, I tried reaching out to them they took forever. I had to keep following up with them as if they never received it in the first place. It’s a new platform, so guidance is needed. Tried the university they offer, in my opinion, it is completely useless, I would just completely move on from this website.

Performance
No answers on this topic
In my opinion, it is horrible, the rendering takes forever. I have the newest MacBook and the platform will still lag and slow down on me. I’m not a developer, I am a designer which makes it worst because I am using the features they are providing not extra coding features. In my opinion, it is a horrible platform really, stay away.

I haven't had to engage them from a support perspective; however, there is a considerable user community for tips/ideas/troubleshooting and the like. I believe the Pro plan supports additional resources but we didn't find that the cost justified the outcome. Overall the need for support has been relatively minor.

We looked at Sellbrite. We really liked Sellbrite in view of its glowing reviews and integration with Etsy. However we didn't fully trial the program so I am not able to comment here more than to say that Inkfrog is by far the most economical option. We currently pay around $10 per month, whereas Sellbrite is nearly $50.

So, Webflow gave me the freedom that other platforms didn't in terms of not needing to code (in comparison to WordPress), and the site looks like a professional page rather than a generic average one, and then in terms of having more than just writing key findings (in comparison to medium) like a site that feels unique and sophisticated. Finally, all in all, Webflow is harder at start but the results are eye pleasing and its totally worth the time.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
I feel it doesn’t perform the way it’s supposed to and it doesn’t have any beneficial factors to it. In my opinion, there is no reason to use a platform like this when Wix and Shopify, and WordPress exist. I believe Webflow is a platform that shouldn’t exist and it’s only popular because of the hype it received. I tried it and hate it completely.

Return on Investment
  • InkFrog had a positive effect on our management of eBay, which was a large hassle to deal with via just their eBay store.
  • InkFrog also gave us a good ROI in terms of its pricing structure, which is very affordable
  • InkFrog has given us the freedom that comes with scheduling listings for future dates. That way we don't have to be glued to eBay all day.

  • Work quality output has improved as Webflow helps bridge the gap between design and development.
  • Lower overall development costs mean more client budget can be allocated to strategy and creative.
  • Faster turnarounds result in shorter billing cycles, which improve agency cashflow.
