We use a combination of Netlify + Webflow + Hugo for our website (www.facetdev.com). With that we get a global CDN and our website will never go down.

Netlify has been awesome and it made it stupid easy to combine our www site on Webflow with a hugo static blog in a subfolder (/blog). This might be my favorite web publishing workflow ever.

If you haven't tried Netlify yet, definitely give it a look.

Does the webflow save to a git repo?

Yes. It also provides a really nice UI for building our www site which we like to rev frequently. Webflow is the bomb if you are familiar with HTML and CSS. Super clean HTML, total control over all the css attributes, drag and drop builder.

Is it a completely hosted service? It looks cool, but I'd be reluctant to use it if it's a subscription to an online tool where I have to pay forever. Is there a standalone version of that editor?

It is hosted, but you can use it free forever if you have Netlify in front of it and use your free sitename.webflow.io URL as your origin server. You can also export your site as static html if you want.

looking at webflow, i have flashbacks (not sure if the good kind) of macromedia fireworks in the 2000's.
