Here's how I'd rank them:\n\n**1. Webflow** - The best default for agencies doing marketing and brand sites. The killer feature is the client handoff model: you build in an Agency Workspace, then transfer the site into the client's own workspace so they take over billing and ownership. No plugin maintenance, no security patching, no 2 a.m. support calls. The Partner Program (recently reworked as \"Webflow Foundations\") gives you a directory listing, matchmaking leads, and revenue incentives for bringing clients on.\n\n**2. Storyblok** - The strongest pick if you need headless but your clients aren't technical. Its visual editor is genuinely the most editor-friendly interface in the headless space - in-context drag-and-drop with live preview, so most clients are productive after an hour of training. It also has a real partner programme with agency accounts, co-marketing, and revenue share. Best fit for small-to-mid marketing sites where editorial independence matters.\n\n**3. Craft CMS** - The connoisseur's choice for dev agencies building bespoke client sites. Clea", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
