Alternative to Webflow
Webflow is a popular website builder. Hoila is something else: an assistant that looks after your website. You write what should change — in the app, by e-mail or on WhatsApp — and Hoila makes the change as a draft, shows it to you and only publishes it when you say yes.
What Webflow is good at
Webflow is a visual website builder for designers: close to real HTML and CSS, with a content system and hosting included.
- Precise control over layout and animation without writing code.
- Clean results that designers and agencies like.
- A content system for blogs and lists of items.
When Webflow is the better choice
- You are a designer who wants full visual control.
- Your team has time to learn a professional design tool.
When Hoila is the better choice
- The website is finished, and the owner just needs to keep it up to date.
- Nobody in the business wants to learn a design tool.
- You want every change as a draft with a preview and one-click undo.

Moving from Webflow to Hoila
Hoila copies your Webflow website as it is — pages, images and forms. You confirm that it is yours with a link we send to an address of the website, look at the preview and publish. Your web address can stay the same.

Who makes the changes in Hoila?
An AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) does the work, and you decide what goes online. Every change is a draft first, and every earlier version is kept, so you can always go back.
