Which Webflow subscription would be the most suitable for a hosting and development service that plans to have separate website plans for each customer in the workspace?
TL;DR
- Use a Freelancer or Agency Workspace plan to manage team collaboration and development.
- Add a separate Site Plan to each client project for hosting, custom domains, and CMS features.
If you're offering hosting and development services and plan to create separate standalone websites (with separate billing, domains, and CMS collections) for each customer, the most suitable Webflow subscription is a Workspace plan combined with individual Site plans for each website.
1. Choose the Right Workspace Plan
- For a team providing web services, go with a Freelancer or Agency Workspace.
- Freelancer Plan supports up to 3 seats (team members).
- Agency Plan supports unlimited team members.
- These plans allow transferring, collaborating, and managing multiple sites in one Workspace.
- They also include unhosted staging sites, useful during development before purchasing a Site plan.
2. Use Individual Site Plans for Each Client
- Each customer you serve will need their own Site Plan once the site is ready to go live.
- Available options include Basic, CMS, Business, or Enterprise, depending on the client's needs.
- These Site Plans provide hosting, custom domain support, and CMS/database capabilities.
3. Assign Ownership Appropriately (Optional)
- If your clients need full control, you can transfer the project to their own Webflow Workspace.
- Alternatively, retain ownership and use the Workspace to manage all client projects internally while billing them separately.
Summary
Use a Freelancer or Agency Workspace plan to manage team access and development, then add a Site Plan to each project to launch a live website per client. This setup allows clean separation, keeps billing modular, and offers professional management of multiple client sites.
