Where you build
Webflow
Design visually inside Webflow, with its platform tools and project model.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
Build the main site in a regular Astro project. Use Aftercode for visual adjustments and content work.
AFTERCODE VS WEBFLOW
Visual decisions.
Your own working source.
Both workflows make room for a designer’s eye. Aftercode starts with a project built in your own development tools, then brings visual and content editing to it.
AFTERCODE IS IN DEVELOPMENT
Webflow is an established visual platform. Aftercode is in development and starts with static Astro projects built by a developer and their coding agent.
The CMS approach
Webflow
Work with a CMS modeled and managed inside the platform.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
Infer editing controls from supported source files, component usage, and existing schemas.
Code export
Webflow
Paid Workspace plans can export HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
Source: Webflow code export ↗The Astro project is the working source from the start; the product is designed around a self-contained repository.
CMS outside the platform
Webflow
Exported code does not include working CMS functionality. Collection data can be exported separately as CSV.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
Source: Webflow code export ↗Published content and media are intended to remain with the project so the site can build after you leave.
Client editing
Webflow
An established hosted platform for visual and content work.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
Planned browser workspaces with content, media, approved sections, preview, and publishing.
Development responsibility
Webflow
The platform manages much of the integrated building and hosting experience.
ASTRO + AFTERCODE
You own the Astro project, dependencies, integrations, and code review. An agent helps with the work; the developer still makes the decisions.
Choose where you want the project to live.
Aftercode is for teams that want their coding agent and visual editor to work around the same ordinary source project. That freedom also comes with development responsibilities.
