Hi everyone!

Iā€™m new to this, HTML/CSS and all. I have a background in FLASH which I havenā€™t touched since ~2008.

Iā€™m a motion designer mainly working in After Effects. I thought I should finally have a website up for myself ā€¦ and was pretty kicked about being able to make an almost replica project id done in After Effects inside of Webflow. Its still a work in progress, but Iā€™m quite pleased with the results so far.
After Effects: Havmor - Showstopper Sundaes on Vimeo
Webflow: https://karlgonsalves.webflow.io

Let me know your thoughts/suggestions.

Thanks

Hello Webflow family!

Iā€™m a sales & marketing manager, and I started designing with Webflow a few month ago. I was working in the musical instruments industry (as a PM for Marshall Amplification) for many years and made my way into measurement technology in mid 2020.

Recently I decided to relaunch the cronologic website using Webflow as Iā€™ve never learned to code, but want to control my design more effectively than in the past when I was using custom CMS and TYPO3 for content management. I have to admit, that I also like the funny way in which the informative Webflow-Youtube tutorials are implemented.

I hope to learn from this forum and I am happy to help others if I can.

Hi all! Iā€™m really excited about getting going with Webflowā€”Iā€™ve been a designer for 15 years and I know the basics of code but have always relied on developers and visual builders (sticking with my strengths). Never really been happy with a) the need to explain everything perfectly in order for someone else to execute it perfectly or b) the restraints of most visual web builders.

Itā€™s really been a toss-up between Elementor w Wordpress and Webflow, but I think Webflow has won me over because of the ability to build what I want to build, without 4 million plugins. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll experience the limitations of Webflow as I go (no platform does everything perfectly), but Iā€™m looking forward to learning, and Iā€™ll be leaning into what yā€™all are posting here on the forum as I go!

Greetings from Canada! :slight_smile:

Welcome, @SarahB! Weā€™re thrilled youā€™re giving Webflow a shot, and weā€™re so excited as we scale our team (and the Webflow product itself!) to support you along the way.

If you havenā€™t already, check out Webflow University, where we have full courses that cover Webflow ā€” we usually recommend the 2021 Portfolio Course and the 101 Crash Course for designers getting started in Webflow (especially if youā€™re looking to fly through the basics and get to some of the more advanced stuff thatā€™ll surpass those restraints you mention of a lot of those other visual web builders!).

On that note, thatā€™s the biggest advantage for those of us who use Webflow every day: itā€™s a visual development platform, yes, but that visual interface is built to give you control over the same exact style and layout properties used by developers Apple, Google, Stripe, Awwards ā€” you name it. So much full control over CSS in the Style panelā€¦that sometimes it feels like magic. Except itā€™s not magic. Itā€™s CSS. In a visual interface.

Canā€™t wait to hear what you think ā€” welcome to the forum!

Time to introduce myself.

I am a Frontend Developer (often full stack) from Germany with over 5 years of experience ā€“ WordPress, React (Gatsby), Typo3, Neos, Ruby (on Rails), ApostropheCMS, among others. Iā€™ve tested a lot.

My passion is to help people, and I see that many users have little to no experience with the underlying technologies of Webflow. I read new posts everyday and am eager to help out as I learn Webflow too.

Low/no code fascinates me, because I like simple things and Webflow is perfect for minimalists: No server maintenance, no updates, not a quadrillion plugins, etc.

But to finally build production websites, Webflow needs to address the issues of European users more ā€“ especially GDPR and privacy shield (hosting location). Oh, and I need the option to craft mobile first sites.

These two issues are holding me back right now and I hope these will be tackled in 2021. See you to the Community Update in April!

Hey-lo

Iā€™m Nateā€¦
Iā€™m a designer from Texas (Austin-San Antonio). Recently I decided to leave the fun world of advertising to focus on small businesses in my community. I wanted to use Webflow to create more bespoke websites for my clients to they can stand out more. Itā€™s quite the learning curve haha because I want to make ā€œcoolā€ stuff. Hope I can get the hang of it and make myself and my clients some real functional and beautiful sites.

Hi, My name is Paul. I have worked as a full-time Front End Developer for a large law firm for the last 15 years, working on a team of several developers in an Amlaw award winning IT department of over 50 people. Projects include building custom software, websites and intranets including custom SharePoint design. I previously worked as a Front End Developer at Washington University. I am also an Ex-Head of Department in a UK prep school and I worked as a cruise ship pianist for many years and have travelled to over 100 counties. WF is amazing. I only wish it was around 30 years ago when I was building my first websites and dreaming of the day Adobe Pagemill 1.0 would be released.

Hello community!

Iā€™m Dave. Iā€™ve recently become a freelance digital design and user experience pro after working in agencies for about 20 years. Iā€™m now focused on website design, UX and full builds using Webflow and hopefully soon other no-code services. Iā€™ve been using Webflow for a while now and absolutely love it. Iā€™m not a developer but know HTML/CSS fairly well, so Webflow has enabled me to offer full website build to my clients. Great product, keep up the good work!

Iā€™m probably running before walking but Iā€™d like to learn more about how to expand what I can do with Webflow and third party services such as Zapier. If anyone has any recommendations for where I can ask for advice on general no-code/low-code, Iā€™d be very grateful.

Thanks
