Fear of breaking a site is real (ask any B2B marketer). This fear keeps you from experimenting and slows down your progress.

But what if you could maintain, scale, and experiment with your website without worrying about breaking it? You could build landing pages, experiment with different layouts, and push changes fast, without relying on your engineering team to do it for you.

Webflow is making it possible. Webflow is empowering B2B marketers to take control of their most important marketing asset, their website.

The recent features rolled out by Webflow make it super easy for marketers to build new pages and update things on their own, without causing any responsiveness disasters or weird complexities.

In this blog, we’ll see why Webflow is a great choice for B2B marketers and which new updates make it an even better platform for you.

Let’s dig in.

Recent Product updates that Webflow rolled out

Page templates & page-building mode

What is it?

‍Page templates allow you to create brand-consistent templates for the static pages you build often. This could be an event page, feature/product page or any other page. Your developer can standardize the structure of these pages, and you as a marketer can then build new pages starting from that structure.

With page templates and page-building mode, you can:

• Create Consistent Pages: Use standardized templates for event pages, product features, or any frequently used page types to ensure brand consistency.
• Save Time: Build new pages by starting with a pre-designed template, reducing the need for repetitive design work.
