Cyera’s story of growth: From “F*** Webflow” to Series F
How the fastest growing data security company in history runs on a platform they almost abandoned
A few weeks
became a few years
"Webflow sucks."
That's what Jason and Gala heard when they walked up to the Cyera booth at RSA in 2023.
When they asked for more explanation, Ari Weil, VP of Marketing at the time, explained that content was impossible for the team to get onto the site and the whole thing was a headache. Whoever had built it rushed the CMS without thinking it through – and Cyera blamed the tool.
Gala asked for a chance to fix it. Within a few weeks, Qontour was helping.
“We hate Webflow”
Once Qontour got a look at the Cyera build, it was easy to understand the frustration. The site wasn't structured for them to maintain and updating one thing often broke another.
Qontour rebuilt it on the Client-First framework and re-architected the CMS so the team could publish changes confidently. A few weeks of work kicked off a partnership that has lasted years.
Challenge
The site wasn't built for the team to maintain.
Approach
We rebuilt on Client-First and re-architected the CMS.
Success is only the beginning
Cyera is the fastest growing data security company in history – and one of the top 10 fastest-growing companies in any industry. Two rebrands, a team that has tripled, a product that keeps evolving, and a market that demands adaptation.
Through every shift, Qontour has improved the build to match their pace and meet them where they are. Providing consistent partnership through constant change.
Challenge
Being the fastest growing company in your industry means everything is always changing.
Approach
We match your pace and meet you where you are – consistent partnership through constant change.
The tool is only
as good as the team
Cyera differentiated themselves with a rebrand built on heavy interaction – Lottie files, animations, high-quality assets. Great for brand messaging but bad for page load times.
Webflow promises speed, flexibility, and performance, but those promises don't deliver themselves. Qontour continues to coordinate with Cyera's design vendors and internal teams to optimize those assets and develop systematic best practices that keep the brand vision intact without sacrificing performance.
Challenge
Webflow's potential depends entirely on how it's implemented.
Approach
We routinely develop best practices that keep the brand intact without sacrificing performance.
Earning trust,
not extracting value
When Cyera was a Series A company, the work was different. Smaller scope, faster cycles, fewer stakeholders. Now they're Series F and the engagement has evolved – but the pricing model hasn't inflated to match their valuation. We scope to what's actually needed, not what the market says we could charge.
We succeed when Cyera succeeds. Everything else follows from that.
Challenge
Partnerships should get better over time, not more expensive.
Approach
Our pricing adapts to scope and effort, not company valuation.
A partnership that
grows with you
Qontour works with companies, but more importantly, with the people running them.
Jolie Kessler started as a member of Cyera's marketing team and became Director of Demand Generation. As her responsibilities have grown, so has our work together. And we're excited for whatever comes next.
Challenge
Internal shifts risk losing the knowledge that took years to build – and starting over with partners who don't know your history.
Approach
We're here for the long run – supporting individual growth and company success alike.
What we delivered
Took a site the team wanted to abandon and rebuilt it on a framework they could maintain confidently.
Restructured collections and page references for scalability and ease of use.
Optimized Lottie files, animations, and high-quality assets to maintain brand vision without sacrificing page load times.
Created systematic workflows for running complex brand work in Webflow at scale.
Implemented answer engine optimization early – built from Qontour's own AEO practice, not outsourced.
Helped review and hire Cyera's current (and only) full-time Webflow developer.
Where Cyera is now
Evolving partnership
What started as a few weeks of work is still going strong – scope and cadence adapt based on what Cyera needs.
20% of Fortune 500
The site now serves one-fifth of the Fortune 500 as customers – built on the same foundation we put in place years ago.
$9 billion valuation
Partnered with Cyera as they became one of the top 10 fastest-growing companies in any industry.
Webflow confidence
The team makes changes without fear of breaking the build – the platform they wanted to abandon is now the foundation they build on.
"Qontour has been an essential partner during Cyera’s growth from Series A to Series F. As our brand and website needs have continued to evolve, they’ve remained highly adaptive – supporting us through multiple brand and website refresh cycles while maintaining continuity and momentum. We couldn’t have scaled our online presence the way we have without them. I highly recommend Qontour to any growth-stage company looking for a team that can keep pace."

Questions? Queries?
Yes. On Cyera's original Webflow build, pages wouldn't load and updates caused cascading issues. We rebuilt the site on the Client-First framework and re-architected the CMS so the team could maintain it confidently. Most growth-stage companies come to us with something that already exists.
We've supported Cyera through two full rebrands. Each time, we optimized assets, coordinated with design vendors, and developed best practices that kept the brand vision intact without sacrificing page performance. The approach is systematic – we protect what works while evolving what could be improved.
Absolutely. At Cyera, we coordinate with their internal marketing team, design vendors, and a full-time Webflow developer we helped them hire. We fit into your existing workflow rather than replacing it. The goal is making your team more effective, not more dependent.
Pricing adapts to scope and effort. Our partnership with Cyera has continued from Series A through Series F – the engagement evolves as their needs change. We scope work based on what's needed now, not what your last funding round was.
Client-First is a Webflow development framework that creates clean, maintainable code. We use it because it lets marketing teams make changes confidently. It's how we ensure Webflow delivers on its promise of speed and flexibility.
