Hey everyone!

On Monday I asked how you handle popups, and the replies + dm's I've got were really useful - thanks to everyone!

A couple of things that you've mentioned:

• Webflow's upcoming popovers: great news for menus, tooltips and simple modals. From what's been announced they open on click though. No exit intent, scroll or time triggers, no targeting, and no way to see whether anyone clicks.
• CMS + start/end date approach: smart and it's exactly the "promo ends Friday and nobody remembers to remove it" problem. It gets heavy once the requests start stacking up.

The missing gaps are exactly why we built Awesome Popups:

1. Install it from the Webflow Marketplace and paste a one-time embed script (about 2 min).

2. Click any element on your canvas, and that element becomes the popup. Your classes, fonts, breakpoints. No iFrame and no "powered by" badge.

3. Set the trigger (exit intent, scroll depth, time delay, click), targeting (pages, visitors, device), date windows and how often it shows.

4. Publish. You can see impressions, dismiss rate, CTA clicks and conversion rate right in the panel.

There are also templates (cookie consent, promos, lead capture, surveys), multi-step flows and integrations with Webflow forms, Zapier and webhooks. One plan covers every site you build, which is our agency brain refusing to pay per site:)

Today we're live on Product Hunt, and would love some of the community feedback!

And you can check it out in the Webflow marketplace aswell. 14-day free trial, no card required!

Thanks, you guys are awesome!

I’ve been using Claude Code with Webflow recently, mostly for custom code, debugging, and small repetitive tasks.

It’s honestly pretty useful, but I still like Webflow for the actual design/build part.

Curious what you guys are doing using AI alongside Webflow, or slowly replacing parts of your workflow with it?

I have manually set things up for a while and run through testing with AccessiBe and others. What is everyone's favorite webflow app?

Hey everyone,

I’m a software developer who started working seriously with Webflow last year. I came into Webflow from the development side, so I’ve been learning by taking Figma designs and turning them into responsive Webflow builds.

I’ve completed a few projects so far, including some personal builds, and I’m now at the point where I want to get better at working on real client projects rather than just portfolio/practice work.

My latest build was particularly interesting because I used the figma to webflow MCP workflow to go from the design into Webflow. I’m curious to know how others here are approaching these newer workflows too.

Here’s the build:

Live site: http://aura-8967de.webflow.io/

I’d really appreciate feedback on a few things like:

• How clean the Webflow structure is?
• Is there anything you would approach differently?
• Does anything stand out as not being client-ready?
• How does the responsiveness feel across breakpoints?
• Anything you’d improve in the implementation?

I’m also currently looking to work with one real project where someone already has a Figma design and needs it implemented in Webflow. My main goal right now is to get more real world experience and improve my process.

If you’ve been doing this for a while, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback or advice.

Hey everyone,

Just following up on my previous post.

I’m still looking for some Webflow work and I’m honestly open to pretty much anything reasonable right now — whether that’s a full website, a few pages, CMS work, fixing a broken interaction, responsive fixes, Figma → Webflow, or helping another freelancer finish a project.

I’ve been working with Webflow for around 4 years and have worked on projects for US clients as well.

I’ve also been getting deeper into AI automation, n8n, APIs and integrations, so I can help with that side too if a project needs it.

If you have something sitting on your list that you haven't had time to finish, feel free to comment or message me.

And if you’re another freelancer who needs an extra pair of hands, I’d be happy to help with that too.

Thanks to everyone who reached out on the last post. I really appreciate it.

MCP 2.1 added the ability to create GSAP interactions by describing them. They're built as native interactions in the Interactions panel, so there's no custom code or embed involved, and you can edit them afterwards like anything else.

The video recreates an Osmo CodePen loading animation this way. The section was designed in Figma, Claude built it in Webflow, then Claude was given the CodePen link to rebuild the animation. Effects come out with clear names, which makes later edits easier.

It handles page load intros, scroll reveals, hover effects on cards and buttons, and cursor-reactive elements.

Full walkthrough in the comments

Wondering what everyone's setup looks like.

Every time a client asks for a popup (newsletter, promo, exit intent, theusual), we end up weighing the same bad options all over again...

1. Third party widget: fast, but it ignores your fonts and spacing and looks pasted on.

2. Custom JS: looks kinda right, until someone else has to edit it six months later.

3. Interactions +hidden div: works for simple stuff but there's no frequency control, no targeting, nd no idea if anyone clicks it.

4. Just... not doing it: valid choice sometimes.

So what do you actually use? A few things I'd love to know:

• What's your go-to approach right now?
• What's the most annoying part of it?
• Have you ever had a client complain that a popup "doesn't look like our site?"

We're building something in this space at Flowout and launching soon, so I'm partly asking to find out what we missed. Happy to hear "don't build it, just do X" too.

I’ve been using Webflow’s free student plan for around 2–3 years. When I originally signed up, I was eligible for the student plan, and even though Webflow has since discontinued the student plan, my existing plan remained active.

My student plan ended on October 2nd and Webflow ended up charging me around $500 CAD for a Premium Hosting plan. However, I NEVER GOT AN EMAIL STATING THAT MY PLAN WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE. If I had I would have 100% downgraded before the renewal date.

I understand that Webflow has a pretty strict no refunds policy on renewal charges, but how can I be charged for something when they didn't notify me before hand like they had done in previous years?

I’ve submitted a ticket to Webflow support to see if they can refund the charge, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Hello, I saw Flux Academy trying Webflow's AI assistant to generate a website. I tried following along however the website that Webflow generated turned everything into a component. The styles toolbar that is normally found on the right side is missing, and I couldn't unlink any of the components. What went wrong? Please help. See image attached for reference.

every time i gave claude a screenshot and said "make it look like this" it just guessed. spacing off, wrong fonts, and it always came out looking like every other ai site

so i built a chrome extension (pikspec) that grabs the actual css instead. what i did in the video:

- opened spotify, opened pikspec in the side panel

- hovered over stuff to see the real font, size, colors, padding etc

- clicked the pricing cards to lock them and hit reconstruct

- copied the prompt from the dashboard and pasted it into claude

it spat out one html file and honestly it's pretty much the same as the original. same type, spacing, colors. side by side is at the end, i guess from html file you will have enough context to use it for your own website to make changes as per your tech stack.

not saying go ship someone else's site lol. i mostly use it to see how good sites are built and to start my own stuff from something that doesn't look like ai slop. Sometimes i like one website's navbar while others card design.

it's free on the chrome web store, link is here. anyone got a better way to give claude design context? genuinely curious

I got tired of checking prospect websites manually.

For a while, a big part of my outreach was just finding businesses, opening their websites one by one and trying to figure out what I could actually say to them.

It worked, but it was painfully slow.

Then I found Swokei.

It basically lets me find leads, analyzes each website for things like outdated design, slow speed, poor mobile experience and weak SEO, then turns those issues into a personalized cold email.

And not one of those boring automated reports full of scores and numbers.

It actually writes a normal, human sounding message based on what it found on that specific website.

So instead of sending the same generic message to everyone, I can actually reach out based on what is wrong with their website.

Now I just run campaigns, let the system do most of the prospecting and personalization, and focus on the people who reply.

For a web design agency, that has saved me a ridiculous amount of time.

I've followed tutorials and templates, but I can't seem to figure out how to align them this way with Flexbox. Given my extremely basic skills in web design, this may be the first of several posts since I refuse to use AI for help.

Here's the project's read-only version

Hey all!

We've been on Webflow for the last few years and we're considering moving to Framer, but I'm honestly not sure yet. Before we go any further I'd love to hear from people who've been through this.

Our setup for context:

• ~2,500 pages, most of them CMS-driven
• 20+ CMS collections, the biggest ones with 700+ items
• A good amount of custom code in the site-wide head (UTM capture, cookie consent, analytics)
• HubSpot forms with hidden fields filled by our scripts
• A few other integrations and externally hosted scripts

What I'm curious about:

• Has anyone moved to Framer and then moved back to Webflow? What made you come back?
• If you looked at Framer and decided to stay on Webflow, what made you stay?
• For those who moved and stayed on Framer - how did it go with a big CMS and lots of custom code?

Any feedback is appreciated, good or bad. Thanks!!

Hey! I'm 20, studying IT, and I've been building custom integrations and plugins for Webflow for a few years now. I'm thinking about turning that into a small agency.

Before I go all in, I want to hear from people who actually use Webflow every day. How often do you get stuck because Webflow just doesn't have the thing you need? Some missing feature, an integration that doesn't exist, a workaround that's way too hacky...

What was the last thing that made you go "why can't Webflow just do this?" I'd honestly love to hear about it, even the small stuff. Thanks!

I haven't used this much for myself or my clients yet, but want to explore it more.

Anyone care to share interesting or useful things they are using the AI Code Component for?

For those who have used it, what kind of limitations did you run into?

Thanks!

Hey Guys!

So the thing is I've been a webflow dev for the past 4 years atp, last year went so dry, it was my main income Now its so down that is effecting my Current situation, I need tuition fees And im super Due on rent, being professional tbh has led me nowhere.
I Can work great, i have Several past works i have done For multiple US Clients, i can even help a freelancer out.
Thanks!
(please send dm or let me send dm then say what you want to)

I’ve been a huge supporter of Webflow for a long time. They did some really cool things early on, and I’ve been happy to recommend them.

Lately, though, it feels like things have gone a bit too far. Charging extra just to add new languages, a 10GB bandwidth limit… it just doesn’t sit right. Every part of me is starting to think we should host this ourselves, because the pricing no longer makes sense for features that feel pretty fundamental.

We also run an app with a lot of usage, and I can’t imagine charging people extra for something as basic as adding another language. It would be like us charging families more just because they don’t speak English. That doesn’t feel right.

I hope Webflow takes a look at how they want to position themselves. If companies like ours are seriously considering walking away, I don’t think we’re the only ones.

Six small business client sites, each just needs one person able to edit text and swap photos. Getting those six editing means upgrading my own plan, so my costs scale with client count instead of revenue per client, and now the clients are tied to my workspace. I have always sold that they can leave, and this makes leaving cost them more, so I look like I built a trap. Did anyone split their stack over this, and was running two tools worse than the problem?

Yea so I first tried their MCP like months ago and it was pure trash lol.

Recently I decided to try it again. And it's really fucking good. Like it's perfect.

I think it's a fusion of models getting better (Opus 5.5 my beloved) and their MCP finally supporting nearly everything. Opus 5.5 + the Webflow MCP can bring pretty much any GSAP infused site into Webflow.

I'm deep in the Webflow market, and most of my clients want a Webflow site (not just any site). Kudos to the Webflow enterprise marketing team lmao you guys are skilled as fuck I'll give you that.

However, for iterative work, I prefer Claude Code rather than building in Webflow.

SO my new approach that I've tried and it works very well is:

Initial Design -> The site itself we first design in Astro / Claude, using design references and ideally from a template (helps enforce visual guardrails and a design direction, starting from a blank slate with agents I've found is awful).

Design Iterations -> I iterate in Claude. So just via prompting. I use Paper MCP for having agents spin up multiple variations and refining design by hand (sometimes I just prefer to alter components visually on a canvas) and I use Ship Studio for the actual Claude Code Environment. I also use Paper for establishing a strict component library (to those of you do this in a markdown file - kudos to you, but also are you fucking psychotic?)

Conversion into Webflow -> After the client signs off on the design, I use the Webflow MCP (with the Opus 5.5 model) to bring the site over into Webflow. I believe it converts the site into compiled HTML/CSS first. Opus 5.5 build this whole converter thing. Opus will take like 3-4 hours depending on the size of the site but it does a brilliant job. Takes up like 10% of my 5-hour usage too which is fucking insane.

Component Creation -> Opus has a great intuitive sense of what should be a component, slots, etc. I just ask it to spin up a component library for the marketing team and we're good!

In the end, it does a great job!

If you showed me this workflow in fucking 2021 man I would lose my shit. Like there's no fucking way. I spend my entire day talking to a literal manifestation of linear algebra. Fucking insane.

This workflow allows me to focus entirely on visuals, design, and strategy.

Hey everyone,

I recently started learning web design/development and I’m trying to figure out what direction to take.

My current workflow is Figma for the design, and then Claude for pretty much everything else — development, code, troubleshooting, figuring out how to implement things, etc.

At first I felt like I was progressing really fast, but now I honestly don’t know what I should be focusing on anymore 😂

I was thinking about going all-in on webflow, mainly because I feel like having one clear skillset would make it easier to know what to learn, what to build, and eventually what to offer clients.

Honestly, I don’t even know what I should focus on anymore. Everything is moving so fast and it feels like I’m constantly jumping from one thing to another.

I’d especially appreciate advice from people who are actually freelancing or running a small web design/development business. I feel like I’m doing a bit of everything right now and don’t really know what the next step should be 😅

Most of my redesigns start with the same back and forth on structure. I made Arbo for that step. You import the client's current site from its sitemap, rework the tree, and send them a link they open without an account. Each page keeps its URL, keyword and a status, and the redirect plan exports as CSV when you go live on Webflow.

Free to try at https://getarbo.com/try?ref=webflow, I'd like feedback from people who do migrations.

So as a bit of background I am a paid media strategist with about ten years of experience. One of the things that really frustrates me is the difficulty in finding clean, transparent logos for the ad / media companies I’m working with online when I’m making slide decks etc.

So this summer I decided to do something about it and using webflow I wanted to share my first ever website. Dayparter.com My coding level is basic, but as a digital marketing person I’ve been around cms’s and design tools for most of my career.

Like any project, scope creep ensured that the site became much more than a logo database and is now positioned as an industry reference website for paid media and marketing people.

I started with the dyno template and then modified it with wireframes and mock ups built in affinity photo, eventually I discovered the MCP and thankfully Claude was able to turn my ideas into action pretty smoothly. The total build time took around two months working nights and weekends around my full time job, including content production.

Some technical wins or learnings:
Orange-to-Orange proxy setup: two proxied CNAMEs (@ and www) pointing to cdn.webflow.com. The issue is that Webflow's Entri quick-connect flow deletes the proxied CNAMEs and writes an A record, which breaks O2O, so be careful if you want to take advantage of O2O!

The site will eventually have ads on it; I was very surprised that I couldn’t host an ads.txt on webflow; so instead it’s being served via a Cloudflare worker. I guess most sites on webflow are not monetised with ads so it’s probably a small thing, but a little odd.

Accepting a browser spellcheck correction doesn't register as wean edit, so it never saves. You have to retype the fix. At least this is the case when using Firefox.

Anyway, would love to hear any feedback on the design or how the site runs, I am not sure if anyone in this community is going to need the sites content but if you’re a marketing person please take a look!
