When Shopify goes down, your entire storefront, checkout, and admin access go offline — you can't process orders, update inventory, or communicate with customers through the platform. The Cyber Monday 2025 outage lasted several hours during one of the year's biggest sales days. You can't control Shopify's infrastructure — you can control how you respond when it fails.

Webflow's all-in pricing (~$21–41/month CAD per site) eliminates plugin fees, security patching, and server management. WordPress starts free but adds hosting ($14–140+/month CAD), premium themes ($80–275), essential plugins ($140–685/year CAD), developer maintenance ($70–205/hour CAD), and security monitoring. Total cost of ownership over 3 years: Webflow averages $2,100–3,800 CAD vs WordPress $4,400–11,500+ CAD for comparable functionality.
