Who it's for
Built for the people who actually manage content
Whether you're a freelancer handing off a site, an agency managing dozens of clients, or a growing team hitting CMS limits — Trellis gives you a better content layer without leaving Webflow behind.
Freelancers & Webflow developers
Stop rebuilding the CMS from scratch on every project
You know the drill. New client, new site, three to five hours setting up collections, binding fields, explaining the Webflow Editor. For complex sites, it's a full day. Trellis turns that into a repeatable workflow you can run in minutes.
Repeatable CMS setup
Connect a Webflow site, map collections to Airtable bases, and hand the whole thing to your client. Every project follows the same flow — no more ad-hoc field naming or forgotten reference fields.
Clean client handoff
Your clients don't need Webflow access to update a case study. They work in Airtable — a tool they probably already know — and changes sync back to the live site automatically.
Audit before you ship
Trellis scans your CMS structure and flags missing alt text, orphaned references, and field-limit issues before your client ever sees them. Ship cleaner work, faster.
“Your clients don't need Webflow access to update a case study. They just need a spreadsheet they already understand.”
Agencies
One content interface across every client site
You manage ten, twenty, fifty Webflow sites — each with its own CMS conventions, its own field names, its own quirks. Content editors across client orgs shouldn't need to learn Webflow. They need one familiar interface.
No shared CMS conventions? No problem.
Each client site maps to its own Airtable base. Editors see friendly column names, dropdown options, and linked records — not Webflow's collection field IDs. You define the mapping once and Trellis maintains it.
Onboard new clients faster
Skip the “here's how the Webflow Editor works” walkthrough. Connect the site, generate an Airtable base, share the link. Your client's content team can start editing the same afternoon.
Agency-grade access controls
The Agency plan supports unlimited sites and team access. Grant per-site permissions to client editors without giving them the keys to your Webflow workspace.
Solo operators & site owners
You built the site. Now you need to manage content.
Maybe you built it yourself. Maybe a freelancer built it for you. Either way, you need to add blog posts, update testimonials, and swap out images — without learning Webflow or breaking something.
No Webflow login required
You never need to open the Webflow Editor. Every content update happens in Airtable — a spreadsheet-like interface you can learn in minutes. Edit a row, hit save, see it live.
Automatic publish
Updates in Airtable push to your live site automatically. No staging environments, no publish buttons, no waiting. Change your headline at 9 AM and it's live by 9:01.
Content you can actually see
Airtable gives you gallery views, kanban boards, and filtered tables. Organize blog posts by status, see all testimonials with photos attached, filter events by date. It's your content, your way.
Growing companies
Hitting Webflow CMS limits doesn't mean starting over
Webflow's CMS has hard ceilings: 60 fields per collection, 20 collections per site, 10,000 items max. When you hit those limits, most agencies will tell you to migrate to a headless CMS. That migration costs $15K–$60K per year — and it means rebuilding your site.
How Trellis extends the Webflow CMS lifecycle
Trellis doesn't replace the Webflow CMS — it adds a management layer on top. Your collections, fields, and items stay in Webflow. Trellis syncs them to Airtable, where you get unlimited views, richer field types, relational lookups, and automations. When you outgrow 60 fields, Trellis lets you split content across linked Airtable tables while keeping a single Webflow collection as the publishing target. You extend the lifecycle instead of abandoning it.
