What are the differences between Site plans and Account plans in Webflow? Can I have multiple projects with their own domains under an Account plan, and can I give clients Editor access? Is CMS and collections available in an Account plan? Are client billing options possible under Site plans? How are bills delivered to clients - digitally or through the mail?
Site plans and Account plans in Webflow serve different purposes and come with their own features and capabilities.
Site plans are designed for individual websites or projects. They include features such as hosting, custom domains, SSL certificates, and generally cater to the development, design, and management of a single website. Site plans are purchased on a per-site basis, which means you need a separate plan for each individual website you want to host on Webflow.
On the other hand, Account plans are meant to manage multiple projects and provide additional tools for collaboration and workflow management. With an Account plan, you can have multiple projects under a single account. Each project can have its own custom domain and be associated with different billing plans. Account plans come with features like team collaboration, client billing, and client access control.
Under an Account plan, you can give clients Editor access, which allows them to make content updates on their website without granting them full access to the entire Webflow account. This is a great way to involve clients in the website management process while retaining control over the design and development aspects.
Account plans also include CMS (Content Management System) and collections functionality. This means you can create dynamic content-driven websites with the ability to manage and update content easily using Webflow's CMS features. Collections allow you to define structured content models and create templates to power your dynamic pages.
When it comes to client billing, Webflow provides options to bill clients directly. With an Account plan, you can create client billing projects and associate them with a specific client for transparent billing and invoicing. This feature is not available in Site plans.
As for bill delivery, Webflow delivers billing information digitally. Clients will receive invoices and statements directly through electronic means such as emails. Webflow does not send bills through traditional mail.
In summary, Site plans are for individual websites and provide hosting and domain management features, while Account plans are meant for managing multiple projects, offer collaboration tools, and allow for client billing and access control. Account plans also include CMS and collections functionality for content-driven websites. Bills are delivered digitally, and you can give clients Editor access for content updates.
