Webflow gives you design freedom close to code, but getting started really only works if you're a designer. Vivlab keeps a free-form visual editor, built for French entrepreneurs, with e-commerce and analytics included.

Is Webflow too technical for me?
Webflow is very powerful, but its logic mirrors code (HTML, CSS, flexbox). Without a web design background, it takes a while to learn. Vivlab gives you a block-based visual editor that sticks to the essentials, with nothing from the designer's trade to pick up.
Are there fees on my sales?
Webflow's entry-level e-commerce plan charges a 2% transaction fee per sale, on top of payment fees · those disappear on the higher plans. Vivlab never adds a transaction fee.
Doesn't Webflow give you more design freedom?
For a designer who knows the tool, Webflow allows very fine control over the final look. Vivlab builds your pages from blocks, with a polished, responsive result, minus the learning effort.
Can I create my store right from the start?
Yes, e-commerce is included in every Vivlab plan, with no separate e-commerce plan and no transaction fees.
Get started for free in just a few minutes. Online store, statistics, translation and SEO are included in every plan, with no commission and a fixed price.
