# B2B website redesign cost: Webflow or custom code?

The platform is rarely the expensive decision. Content, integrations, migration risk, and what the site must do after launch set the real number.

A serious B2B website redesign usually starts around $20,000 for a focused marketing site and can move past $150,000 when research, positioning, complex content, integrations, migration, or custom product behavior enter the scope. Webflow can reduce implementation cost for a marketing-led site. Custom code earns its price when the website must behave like software.

## Choose the operating burden you can support.

| Decision | Webflow | Custom code |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Best for | Marketing sites with structured content, controlled interactions, and a team that needs visual editing. | Sites with application behavior, unusual data, deep personalization, or product-grade integrations. |
| Cost pressure | Strategy, copy, design, CMS structure, migration, and platform limits. | Everything in Webflow plus engineering, testing, hosting, observability, and maintenance. |
| After launch | A trained marketing team can own most routine changes. | Someone must own the codebase, dependencies, deployment, and security. |
| Common mistake | Forcing product behavior into a marketing tool until every exception becomes a workaround. | Paying for engineering freedom the business will never use. |

## The proposal gets honest when these four things are named.

### How much content must move?

Twenty clean pages and 2,000 inconsistent pages are not the same migration, even if the new homepage looks identical.

### What must the site connect to?

CRM, product data, localization, gated resources, calculators, and account behavior can move the build out of brochure territory.

### Who owns it next year?

The right platform is the one your actual team can run after the launch crew leaves.

### What happens if migration fails?

Lost URLs, broken attribution, and missing forms can erase years of search equity and pipeline history in one afternoon.

### Price the truth

Inventory content, integrations, search equity, accessibility, analytics, and approval complexity before picking a platform.

### Choose the boring fit

Use Webflow when a marketing site is the job. Use custom code when software behavior is the job.

### Fund the handoff

Training, governance, monitoring, and a clean backlog belong in the scope. Launch is the start of ownership.

## Questions answered.

### Is Webflow cheaper than custom development?

Usually at implementation and maintenance. It stops being cheaper when the team keeps forcing unsupported product behavior into it.

### What is normally excluded from a website redesign estimate?

Positioning, net-new copy, photography, complex migration cleanup, CRM repair, localization, and post-launch optimization are often separate. Ask before comparing totals.

### How long should a B2B redesign take?

A focused site can ship in three to four months. Complex approvals, content migration, integrations, and late strategy decisions push that timeline much faster than the design itself.
