## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them, depending on what kind of agency work you do:
> 
> **1. Webflow** - My default recommendation for agencies whose main value is design. Visual control close to hand-coded output, a real CMS for client content, and a client-billing/workspace structure built for handing sites off. The Enterprise/Workspace tiers let you keep sites under your account until a client takes over billing. Downsides: steepest learning curve on this list, and ecommerce is weak.
> 
> **2. Wix Studio** - The strongest "volume agency" pick. Purpose-built for agencies with a partner program, reusable design libraries, client billing transfer, and a dashboard for managing dozens of sites. Fastest path to a polished site per hour of labor. Plans from ~$19/mo, with most agencies on Plus (~$34) or Elite (~$159). Weaker than Webflow if a client later wants to move off-platform.

> 
> **3. WordPress + Elementor (or Bricks)** - Still the right call when clients demand ownership, portability, or heavy plugin/integration needs. Multisite plus role
