Many Swedish companies are beginning to recognize the limitations and risks of WordPress. Whether you run a fast-growing small business or an established company with big ambitions, security and maintenance issues in WordPress can feel like a maze where the slightest mistake can create unwanted problems. But what if there was an easier way? A system where your website not only acts as a digital destination but reflects the company's vision and strengthens your digital security? This is where Webflow steps in — a platform that offers ease of use, security and creative possibilities.

Webflow vs. WordPress: Pros and Cons for Swedish Companies

Many Swedish companies are faced with the question: “Should we continue with WordPress or is there something that better matches our ambition and our needs?” Here's a closer look at how Webflow and WordPress compare, and why Webflow might be the perfect option.

• Security — Digital security at its core: For businesses that prioritize security, WordPress has become a headache. Recently reported vulnerabilities, such as the risks of the WPML plugin and over 5 million sites affected by a serious LiteSpeed Cache vulnerability, clearly demonstrate that the platform's reliance on external plugins is a weak link. In Webflow, you don't have to worry about this — security is built in, without relying on third-party solutions. This means less time spent on fire brigade responses and more time building up your business.

Maintenance — Forget the plugin carousel: For many businesses, WordPress feels like a digital toolbox where plugins need to be updated and controlled, requiring both technical knowledge and time. With Webflow you can say goodbye to this plugin carousel. Webflow is like a tailor-made outfit where everything fits perfectly from the start, and the platform does not require any external add-ons to be functional. For companies that value simplicity and efficiency, this means less technical hassle and more focus on the core of the business.

• Creative Freedom and Ease of Use — Design your unique vision: While WordPress can feel like building in modules, Webflow offers a drawing board where creativity can flow freely. Without the need for code or complicated integrations, you get the opportunity to create a page that exactly matches the brand's vision. This is where LAPS AB, with our expertise in Webflow, can help you highlight your company's unique identity with frictionless design and ease of use.

• Scalability — Grow with ease and without limitations: For Swedish companies planning growth and change over time, Webflow is a reliable partner. The platform handles large amounts of traffic and content without affecting performance. With WordPress, optimizations and extensions are often required to be able to scale in the same way. Webflow allows you to grow in line with your business needs, without getting bogged down in a complex infrastructure.

Why Businesses Like Yours Can Feel Safer With Webflow

For those businesses today stuck in WordPress dealing with security flaws, server-based injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), or even authentication bypass, this can feel like constantly walking on eggshells. A recent example is the critical vulnerability of the WPML plugin (CVE-2024-6386), which allows remote code execution and which affected over one million websites.

With Webflow, you can avoid this risky everyday life. The platform is built with security in mind, which makes it particularly appealing to companies in Sweden who want to avoid the constant maintenance that WordPress requires. For Swedish companies, this is not just a question of technology — it is a question of security and efficiency.

Webflow: A modern and scalable option for those who are growing.

For companies looking to build a stable and future-proof digital presence, especially with a view to international expansion, Webflow offers powerful built-in tools. The platform supports multiple languages directly in the system — you can easily create language layers both manually and with the help of AI, without the need for external plugins. This makes it possible to reach different markets in a smooth and efficient way.

In addition, Webflow has a built-in Content Delivery Network (CDN), which ensures that your website loads at lightning speed no matter where in the world the user is.

This combination of technical solutions makes Webflow at least as scalable as WordPress for most users, and with us at LAPS AB as your guide, you can maximize the platform's full potential to support your global growth and digital strategy.
