## 1. Webflow needs to attract new users to the platform.

It's essential to remember that Webflow still represents only:

- 1% market share (CMS only)
- 0.7% of websites (across all technologies)

This new interface presents a valuable opportunity to: 

- Share more visual demos on how to develop with Webflow
- Lower the entry barriers with a more intuitive interface

- and thus **convince or attract** marketing teams, designers, and new developers **to choose this CMS platform for their websites.**

## 2. This change is data-driven and researched.

The Webflow product team has shared with us that this **new panel was tested with a user panel** that included:

- Designers
- Developers
- Webflow Experts

We must therefore trust that this decision is based on data and that they obviously didn't opt for a choice that lacks logic for their goal of growth.

> 💡Important note: This change has also been well-received by professional Webflow users - who have seen their development workflows improved!

## 3. Webflow's "Pro Users" approve.

Change is never easy. However, the fact is that in our team ([Webflow agency](/services/webflow-agency)):

- Webflow developers prefer it,
- Designers love this update,

So, "according to our panel" [composed of professional Webflow developers and designers](/team/digidop-team), this change seems aligned with the findings from the research conducted by the Webflow product team. Therefore, in conclusion...

## In conclusion 💙

Yes, not all choices are solely (and directly) for the experienced Webflow developers, but also for **Webflow's marketing efforts to attract new clients**. This is a significant cause, as **if the number of Webflow users grows, the entire ecosystem will benefit.**
