What Happens After Launch?

Enterprise-Level Security

FinTech platforms handle sensitive customer and financial data, which makes security non-negotiable. Webflow sites are hosted on AWS with ISO 27001 compliance, SSL built-in, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection. This means your website benefits from the same infrastructure trusted by the world’s most secure organisations.

Fully Customisable Experiences

Every FinTech brand is unique – from challenger banks to payment processors. Webflow allows complete design flexibility without reliance on rigid templates or plugins. With bespoke CMS structures and custom code, we deliver scalable sites tailored precisely to your products, users, and regulatory requirements.

Lightning-Fast Performance

In financial services, speed translates directly to trust. Webflow’s global CDN ensures rapid load times across key markets, from London to Singapore. Optimised performance not only improves user confidence but also boosts SEO, helping your FinTech stand out in a competitive landscape.

Compliance-Ready Infrastructure

Whether your organisation must meet FCA guidelines, GDPR, or SOC2 standards, Webflow provides a solid foundation. Combined with our bespoke governance setup – from cookie compliance to secure user flows – your site is built to meet industry regulations without compromising experience.

Agile Development & Scaling

FinTech companies need to move fast. With Webflow, we can prototype, launch, and iterate at speed – no waiting on developer bottlenecks or fragile plugin stacks. As your product grows, we can scale features seamlessly, integrating dashboards, customer portals, and APIs without rebuilding your core platform.

What Happens After Launch in Webflow?

Website Maintenance, Hosting, SSL and CMS Updates Explained

You’ve launched your new Webflow site - the design looks great, everything works, and you're live to the world. But what happens next?

A common misconception is that a website is "done" once it goes live. In reality, post-launch support and maintenance are crucial to ensuring your site stays secure, performs well, and evolves with your business.

This guide breaks down what happens after launch and how Webflow handles hosting, security, content updates, and long-term site care.

‍

1. Hosting with Webflow: Fast, Secure and Reliable

Webflow’s hosting is powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and backed by Fastly and Cloudflare, giving your site world-class performance without needing external hosting platforms like cPanel or FTP.

Key Hosting Benefits:

Global CDN (Content Delivery Network) – Ensures fast loading from anywhere in the world
Automatic scaling – Handles traffic spikes without downtime
SSL Certificates included – Your site is secure from day one (HTTPS)
Zero maintenance required – No plugin or server updates to worry about

Unlike platforms like WordPress, there’s no need to manually update plugins or check for server issues. Everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

‍

2. Ongoing CMS and Content Updates

If your site uses Webflow CMS, you can easily update text, images, blog posts, and product listings without editing the layout.

Client Editing Options:

Use the Webflow Editor to update text, swap images, and publish blog posts.
Add new CMS items like testimonials, team members, or FAQs.
Collaborate with your team using role-based permissions.

Pro Tip: We recommend creating a monthly schedule to keep your site’s content fresh and SEO-friendly.

‍

3. Backups and Version Control

Webflow takes regular snapshots of your site, so you never have to worry about accidentally losing changes.

What You Get:

Automatic Backups – Webflow saves a new version whenever changes are made
Manual Save Points – You can create your own version at any time
One-Click Restore – Instantly roll back to any previous version

This built-in safety net gives peace of mind when updating live content or testing new layouts.

‍

4. Site Health and Security

Webflow takes care of all essential security protocols so you don’t have to:

Free SSL encryption
DDoS protection
No plugin vulnerabilities
Automated patching of backend systems

Unlike traditional CMSs like WordPress that rely on third-party plugins, Webflow's closed platform model means fewer entry points for attackers.

‍

5. Performance Monitoring and SEO Health

After launch, it’s important to monitor site performance and search rankings over time:

Set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console
Use tools like Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights to check performance
Monitor broken links and mobile usability regularly

Your Webflow partner can provide monthly health checks and suggest areas to improve performance or user experience.

‍

6. Who Handles Updates?

At 3SIX5 Digital, we typically offer post-launch support plans that include:

Monthly content updates
Bug fixes or tweaks
New page builds
Performance monitoring
Strategy sessions for growth

You’re never left in the dark or stuck figuring things out on your own. We stay with you for the long haul.

‍

7. When to Consider a Refresh

Websites are living tools. We recommend reviewing your site every 6 to 12 months to ensure:

The design and messaging still align with your goals
You’re making use of new Webflow features (like Logic or localization)
Performance remains high as content grows

Even simple visual tweaks or updated sections can extend your site’s relevance.

‍

Summary: Life After Launch

Launching a Webflow site is just the beginning. With powerful hosting, secure infrastructure, and easy content management, you're set up for success - but ongoing care keeps your site performing at its best.

With the right support, you can confidently scale your online presence, stay on brand, and ensure your visitors always have a top-tier experience.
