Frequently Asked Questions
Webflow 在目錄方面擅長什麼？
設計。Webflow 製作美觀的目錄版面。對於設計優先的 500 個以下項目的小型精選目錄，Webflow 運作良好。
10K CMS 限制是什麼？
Webflow 將 CMS 集合上限設定為 10,000 個項目。如果您的目錄有 10,001 個清單，您無法添加更多。這是硬性架構限制，而不是計劃限制。
我可以使用 Zapier 進行使用者提交嗎？
從技術上講可以，但這是一個技巧。Zapier 增加延遲、成本高昂且容易中斷。Webflow 中沒有原生使用者提交或審核工作流程。
從 Webflow 遷移的成本是多少？
我們以 $10K-15K 的費用將 Webflow 目錄遷移到自訂平台，包括資料遷移和 SEO 重定向對應。
