Ease of Use
ChilledSites is incredibly easy to use. You can generate a complete website in minutes with a single prompt. No design experience required, no settings to learn, no visual editor to master. If you can write a few sentences about your business, you can use ChilledSites.
Webflow has one of the steepest learning curves of any website builder. It is designed for people who understand CSS, layout systems, and web design principles. The Webflow University learning library exists because the tool requires significant study to use effectively. For a non-developer, Webflow is genuinely difficult.
Pricing
ChilledSites Pro costs £29/year and includes hosting, analytics, forms, SSL, and custom domain. Everything is bundled — there are no per-feature upsells.
Webflow's Basic plan starts at £14/month (£168/year) and goes up to £39/month (£468/year) for the Business plan. E-commerce plans are priced separately and can cost significantly more. Hosting is included, but many integrations and CMS features require higher-tier plans.
For a small business, ChilledSites costs 3 to 16 times less per year than Webflow, depending on the plan comparison.
