What is Backend?
The Backend is the technical foundation that powers the website's functionality. It includes the server, the database (where data is stored), and the application logic that processes requests. While Webflow handles much of the complexity, integrating external services or custom web applications (like user authentication or complex database querying) requires custom Backend solutions.
Why the Backend Matters in Webflow?
For complex marketing sites and custom solutions built with Wized, a strong backend is essential for functionality and scale.
- Integration and Automation: The backend is necessary for managing intricate API Integration to services like CRMs, ensuring data flows correctly and securely.
- Dynamic Content: It enables truly Dynamic Content and application features that go beyond the native CMS (Content Management System) capabilities, allowing for personalized experiences and user-specific dashboards.
- Security: All critical data storage and transaction logic must be handled securely on the backend to protect user information.
Example from Flowtrix Projects
While we build the entire Frontend Development on Webflow, our specialized web-apps built with Wized often require robust Backend solutions for managing user authentication and large volumes of Dynamic Content. We design the Webflow frontend to interact seamlessly and securely with the backend via custom API calls, ensuring powerful, scalable applications are delivered wwiithout writing traditional frontend code.
