I don't know what webflow is, but wouldn't touch WordPress with a barge pole unless I was cornered. And as much as detest WordPress I didn't know it could build static sites? Or am I misunderstanding "static", as in I though the term referred to plain HTML pages (none of that fan dangled JavaScript stuff 😉).

Same vibe here. But my latest experience is that Wordpress is taking over, is a performance killer and really messy but clients like it. Maybe because they don’t know how rigid it is. I always choose to code websites by hand because of customization, optimization and development experience.
