I want to create a website to sell products using Figma and Webflow. The problem is that I've heard a lot of people say that these sites have limited capacity, especially if there are a lot of products and videos (a large site). Is this correct? How do I know the maximum site limit without any lagging? I want the user to have a smooth experience on the site

What I have tried:

I still learn webflow and figma

Keep in mind, I've never used Webflow. And it's going to be hard to find Webflow experts here as we're mostly programmers with no need for that.

As for me, I've dealt with Figma plenty from a programmer's perspective. I can tell you; however, with 100% certainty that you're much better off buying a template for a Shopify site unless you're willing to learn some programming. You can always hire a dev off of Fiverr to tweak the template. Maybe they'll know Webflow, or maybe you'll find a Webflow expert.

Unless... you want to get into development yourself. Forget the sales pitch. The reality is, you'll need to test your site. If there are problems, your customers will leave. You don't want to be the guy saying "oh well, oops". So, in that case, then you need to start thinking like a dev. Which is to say, the two most important skills a developer can have is communication (so far so good) and debugging. The latter being the focus of this reply...

So, to debug well, you have to use the scientific method. That is to assume nothing and test everything to empirically come to a conclusion. Which means, load up a test site yourself in Webflow with a ton of fake products. Forget what their sales team will say. Sales always lies.

Find out for yourself or hopefully you'll find a WebFlow expert... just know we're all devs here.
