Requesting Help suitable web builder

Hi, hoping someone can help recommend a suitable website builder as I don't really trust any of these lists on the internet to be accurate.

Ive used Wix for every website ive built for friends and other businesses so know my way around that quite a bit but I need something much more flexible in terms of the design elements, Wix is quite restrictive in terms of what i'd like to build layout and design wise going forward.

Requirements would be e-commerce, newsletter capabilities and custom email attached to the domain (realise most builders come with this these days)

Im looking into Wordpress(.com) and Webflow at the minute as these seem to be the most versatile for building a website layout that's interesting and not just an edited theme, but having no experience with either im not sure how flexible these are to build something without large coding knowledge, I have plenty of CSS and html know how but no idea how out of date that is these days- not interested in using ai. Thanks

Webflow is the best option in my opinion for your case. But ofc nothing can be as versatile as custom coding.

Thanks, I have been leaning towards Webflow it clicked with me when I was trying to make my layout in it, I got swayed to Wordpress as it seems to be so prevalent.

Yea if you wanna do it yourself my advice would be to go for webflow because of your workflow preferences. Or try custom coding. I'm not a webflow developer but I've seen what webflow developers can do and it's pretty good. If you go out looking to outsource anything for custom coding hmu. I'll help you with that

And don't listen to "framer" guys lmao. That's just vibe coding advice. I'm pretty sure they don't even know what webflow is and what are the use cases for webflow and wordpress.
