After wasting a year trying to make my new website within Wordpress and a programmer, I finally did it myself using Webflow. I am a graphic designer but this was my first time to create a website all by myself. It took me a while to understand Webflow. I had basically zero knowledge of web design. I just have an eye for design and typography and communication.
Here is my new website:

Please if you have some feedback, let me know!
Awesome? How was your experience learning Webflow vs. learning Wordpress + code?
Hi @rafdesign
Some great work in there! I like your illustrative style, and especially the āprocessā page animations!
One issue the footer āaboutā button gives me a 404 error, dead link, but the main mobile nav āaboutā button worked fine. Iām using a mobile device right now, so havenāt used it on desktop.
Hope this helps 
Oh and welcome to Webflow, isnāt it amazing!!!

Nice work!
Lovely use of animation & interactions. Plus you get a huge bonus point for using Sofia Pro - works really well with your illustrative style 
Gorgeous site @rafdesign !
Love the menu animations on each page and particularly love the type choice. But love your work even more, its absolutely class!
Only points would be to include a favicon on your site and I noticed that you have a link to your āAboutā section at the bottom of your homepage but not in the navigation, I would put the link in the nav as well.
Great work and welcome to Webflow, good to see people sacking off Wordpress and coming over to WF.
Ta,
Jamie
I used to be a big fan of Wordpress. And My two previous websites were done with Wordpress. I would design and hire a programmer. I would choose an existing theme and within it modify a few simple things such as typography, colors.
But my last one turned into a nightmare. The first one hit a wall due to lack of knowledge and gave up. The second one was a real coder, he was one of the programmers of the theme that I had bought. But the coding was sloppy with design. dimensions were off, typography wasnāt aligned.
So I decided to move on, and to start from scratch with Webflow.
Webflow has a lot of great capabilities. I even didnāt try yet the CMS function, which seems quite powerful.
A few years ago, I wrote on a forum that at some point, programming would become useless for some web designers. People really didnāt agreeā¦
I also admire programmers who push further the overall web experience and create new things. But for most of us, designers, Webflow can do a great job and save time.
Thanks for checking it. I noticed that one of my links in the hamburger menu was dead, but it wasnāt the āAboutā. Could you double check if it still the same problem? thanks.
I had my eyes on some lineto typefacesā¦ but a little too pricey and I was worried about the self-hosting versus Adobe typekit servers. Maybe Iām wrong.
