How do we choose a platform for your website?
By three questions: who edits the site day to day, how much speed and search visibility matter, and how the site will grow. A marketing team that publishes every week needs a visual CMS. A site that lives or dies by speed and SEO needs lean static pages. A store needs Shopify. A logged-in product needs real code.
| Platform | Best when | Who edits it day to day | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Webflow | Marketing publishes often and wants a visual CMS | Your marketing team | Seat and localization costs grow with the team; complex logic needs custom code |
| Framer | A design-led site has to launch in weeks | Your marketing or design team | A simpler CMS; less suited to complex integrations |
| Astro | Speed and SEO come first | Content in a headless CMS; layout by a developer | Layout changes need a developer |
| Shopify | You sell products online | Your team, in the Shopify admin | Theme and checkout rules; app costs add up |
| React and Next.js | It is a product or web app, not a brochure | Your developers or ours | The most flexible option, and every change needs a developer |
How the website platforms compare on real sites

Mobile, all sites built on each technology: HTTP Archive Technology Report, September 2026, checked 31 October 2026. Medians describe each platform’s sites as a whole; how a site is built matters more than where.
Which platforms do we build websites on?
Webflow, Framer, Astro and Shopify. The same team designs and builds the site, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the live page, and every site launches with technical SEO, schema, analytics and fast Core Web Vitals.
Webflow
A visual CMS your marketing team runs on its own: new pages, case studies and posts without waiting on a developer.

What do we build products and apps with?
React and Next.js for web apps and dashboards, Node.js behind them, React Native for cross-platform apps and Swift or Kotlin when an app has to be native. When you have your own engineers, we design and hand over, and review the build with them.
React and Next.js
Web apps, dashboards and logged-in products, where the interface and the data logic grow together.

How is dixi.agency built?
On Astro, served by Cloudflare Workers. We moved our own site from Framer in October 2026: every page is rendered to static HTML, only the scripts a page needs load, and forms, booking and analytics run on our own Cloudflare Worker, with booking through the Cal.com API.
What runs behind the sites we build?
Cloudflare for hosting and edge logic, Node.js for APIs and integrations, and Supabase or Firebase when a new product needs sign-in, a database and storage fast. Every launch includes GA4 and Search Console, and booking runs on your site through Cal.com or Calendly.
Cloudflare
Hosting, edge functions, DNS and email routing. dixi.agency, its forms, booking and analytics run on Cloudflare Workers.

Supabase / Firebase
Sign-in, database and storage for MVPs and new products, so a first version ships without building a back end from scratch.

Work directly with the founder
I'm Ignat, and you work with me directly: no account managers and no handoffs, just a senior team that designs and builds your site.
Ignat · FounderWhich platform is best for a B2B SaaS website?
It depends on who edits the site and what matters most. Webflow suits marketing teams that publish every week. Framer suits a fast launch with a simple CMS. Astro suits sites where speed and SEO come first, with content in a headless CMS. We recommend one after the first call, based on your team, not our habits.
Can our marketing team edit the site without developers?
On Webflow and Framer, yes: pages, sections and CMS content. On Astro, content edits run through a headless CMS, and layout changes need a developer. On Shopify, your team manages products, collections and content in the admin.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. We design and build cross-platform apps in React Native, as with Mediator, our own music distribution app, and work in Swift and Kotlin when an app needs to be native. We also design apps that your own engineers build, as with Koyfin’s iOS and Android app.
Can you work with our existing stack?
Usually, yes. If your team already builds in React, Next.js or a native stack, we design for it and hand over components and specs, or build in it alongside your engineers. For websites we can take over an existing Webflow, Framer, Shopify or Astro site.
Who owns the code, the accounts and the files?
You do. Accounts are set up in your name, and code, Figma files and the design system are handed over in full. Our FAQ covers ownership and handover.
Can you move our site to another platform without losing SEO?
Yes, with every URL mapped and redirected and titles and structured data carried over. We moved our own site from Framer to Astro in October 2026. Our FAQ explains how we plan a migration.
