> I know what: let's use every fancy web-2k12 element we can think of in one incoherent jumble. All the cool kids do it.
Way too much going on. I cant really focus on anything. And after scrolling through it all, I still don't have a clue what it is all about.
If Boxxy were to design a website, this would be it.
[Edit] - just came across this website. That's the kind of scroll-website I like.
No reason to code your portfolio when Webflow can do everything you need. Anyways, you don’t need a flashy portfolio as a UX Designer. I switched over from Square and Wix because of my frustrations with how limited they are.
And you’re correct about the last part. Pay for the cheapest plan and add your domain on.
Check out this website clone of Apple’s IPad page that someone created through webflow here
Oh boy.
They're loading two different versions of jQuery (2.1.4 and 1.11.1). I'm tempted to email them and suggest loading at least four versions of jQuery. Two just doesn't suffice in this Web 2.0 era.
All the images are loading from uploads.webflow.com. Going to https://webflow.com/ brings up some completely different CMS thing. Seems legit.
They wrote "it's" instead of "its" and the font for their "learn about micro-apps" link is way too thin and looks ugly. You think with $31 million they could afford to check their grammar and use proper fonts. The fonts seem fine on retina screens, so thankfully the 5% of the world that use Apple hardware and no external screen will be able to read the text fine.
tl;dr: wat.
It's good except I really dislike the precedent of using a service like this. The price is pretty crazy too. https://webflow.com/pricing
> Cancellation and termination
> If you cancel the Service, your cancellation will take effect immediately. All published websites will be unpublished, however you will still be able to access the Webflow design tool for the remainder of the billing month. After the month is over, you will no longer have access to your web site and we may delete all information on your web site. We accept no liability for such deleted information or content.
There's a reason for that, and this website does an incredible job of tracing the path from cave paintings to that flat modernism you're talking about. Works way better on desktop than mobile.
Advantage of Behance is the audience of fellow creatives, but it heavily skews toward visual design and makes it harder to tell the stories we need in UX.
For a standalone site, Adobe portfolio is included in Creative Suite. https://webflow.com/ is an awesome paid option that will give you a lot more control and the ability to create a more dynamic and interesting design. In both cases you can use your own domain name.
Yes you'd export your images.
I liked Pitch's old website so much that I wanted to develop it in Webflow to learn, to give the project to others to learn too, and to show once again what Webflow is capable of - 100% visual development, no custom code was used.
Link to the project to clone it too: https://webflow.com/website/Pitch-Webflow-Rebuild
You can use webflow.com to make a landing page. You can also make a decent landing page on carrd.co and look for inspirations on makerpad.co
I use Webflow almost lovingly. It’s free the whole way to make a site until you launch it (but you will need to activate your subscription to embed your custom domain), and their non-ecomm plans are very affordable.
If you’ve got any questions about it too PM me, it’s a pretty advanced builder but it’s not hard either somehow.
Haven’t came across that and I’d like to see why people share but one good site for design inspiration in general is https://dribble.com
They have tags for all kinds of stuff, if you are looking for something as specific as “faq” id maybe suggest https://webflow.com/templates
I could write a novel on this topic. My company has been in the business of custom CMS'es for a decade, and we have moved from an in-house one that grew like a snowball and was not managed very well, to an open source one that we (try to) contribute back to, but mostly just customize for specific client needs, and finally ditched that for a variety of solutions depending on the client.
Reasons a custom CMS is stupid (custom or open source):
- We can never keep up with the features of something like https://webflow.com/
- Many changes require a programmer due to poor documentation or inflexibility of the system.
- Most web sites grow in complexity during development, and become spaghetti if you are not careful, resulting in a bad UX for the customer.
And the big one:
The final pages are fundamentally static, but served from a potentially exploitable web application that needs to be hosted, secured, patched and optimized. It is such a conceptual mismatch. IMO most CMS'es should be static site generators.
The best options these days are closer to being visual CSS builders as compared to what a lay person would think of a WYSIWYG application. You'll need to understand the basics of how code works and how the web is built but won't really need to fully code, if that makes sense. So it will require you to do some learning to get up to speed with any of these options.
I would look into these options:
https://www.coffeecup.com/designer/ (paid)
https://www.coffeecup.com/bootstrap-builder/ (paid)
https://webflow.com/ (monthly subscription)
Hey - I run the One Page Love website. I'm working on an article summarizing the best Single Page (online) website builders out there. Right now check ReadyMag and WebFlow for this more advanced kind of stuff (like this threads reference). If you need something simple, and free, definitely check out Carrd. Good luck!
I would just download a template, like http://html5up.net , but there's a lot of them.
It's passé now to do web design with photoshop because there are better suited tools for it.
OK, so it's an invite to demo a thing called "Webflow". I checked it out (webflow) and it seems like this is a "come learn our system where you don't have to write code". I happen to enjoy writing code.
But anyhow, nice to "meet" you!
Currently Sketch, Macaw, and Webflow are the best out there, BUT I'm still part of the camp that the best designs are coded by hand. These programs are excellent for rapid prototyping and getting designs down, but the few times I've used them i found myself spending a lot of time stripping down unnecessary code.
All WYSIWYG suck.
There are some nice tries with Macaw, Webflow and Adobe Edge, but they still suck. (Adobe Edge seems to have been split in 3, I don't even want to know about it).
Try Macaw. It seems to be the least sucking, and, please, report back with your findings :)
If you're like me and most other UI designers out there you'll probably never be happy with another developer doing your front-end work from .ai or .psd files. I had the same problem, they never got it right and I was routinely frustrated with the lack of attention to detail. You'll need to buckle down and learn to code or find an application that can help you make the jump to front-end development.
I'd recommend checking out Webflow (there's a free 14 day trial) which is a drag/drop website builder. It creates very good production ready code (not 100% perfect but I think that's expected). It has really helped me "jump" into front-end because as a visual learner it helped me visualize the components of a web page, how styling functions, etc.
After using webflow I've been a lot more motivated in the coding space.
Do you realize that to edit a template you need to know HTML and not just that right? You said they did not teach you that and that you are having problem following videos. Unfortunately this no easy task under your status.
There are options like WebFlow where you dont need to know how to code anything and you can start with a template and edit things to your liking.
Give that a try
It’s from webflow. It’s used as standard code for this type of scroll animation. If you go through well designed websites, you’ll find webflow is extremely popular.
A few cloneable examples in here like this with some different inputs or if you just wanted radio buttons.
Hey! Would be happy to lay it out.
For SEO audits we use a mixture of SEM Rush, Webflow's auditing feature, and a personal checklist of things we've learned to check over time. Using that, we provide PDF breakdown of changes that need to be made and give them a priority level. We try to go over that with the client via a call and convince them to partner with us long term!
For Class frameworks, we usually try to consolidate everything into the BEM framework as best we can. To do this a bit quicker we use Finsweet's chrome extension.
We've also been thinking about trying out Finsweet's client first framework, looks like an amazing structure!
I don't know about the design style itself, but you might get more info following the CSS
ramp - CSS points to Webflow, maybe it's one of their canned themes?
alloy - looks like it was done by a digital ad agency, probably a lot of obfuscated bootstrap stuff going on.
You should be able to clone this job board webflow template, and quickly modify it to be a directory instead. A job board is basically a directory of job listings.
It comes with a search engine and filters (jetboost).
Then, check out this video tutorial to setup PowerImporter to sync Airtable to Webflow. That video tutorial actually uses the job board template mentioned above, so you won't be too lost while following along.
All you'll have to do is figure out which of your Airtable fields to map to the Webflow fields provided, but it's basically a logo, a title, and a description, so that should be straight forward.
Disclaimer: I created PowerImporter, so if you get stuck, just email me (my email is in the footer of your PowerImporter dashboard) and I'll make sure you're up and running before your deadline.
Good luck!
Yes - if your purchase any Site Plan, you can apply site-wide or specific static page password protection: https://webflow.com/pricing#site
NB - I don't believe you can apply password protection to individual collection pages (if you purchase a CMS plan and use the CMS for your portfolio) without custom code.
Hey u/solchithan,
Controversial opinion alert - There's nothing wrong with considering the No-Code/Low-Code route with sites like webflow or bubble.
Many creative people that do not know how to code but have a great software product idea are building MVPs using these tools with great success.
Learning to code a full application yourself will take a long time and if I just wanted to get a product to market asap I would go this route.
Granted, I'd do plenty of research first to see if your product can even be built using these tools as there are some limitations.
All the best,
Paul
https://webflow.com/website/cards2
That’s a good overall framework that would at least illustrate the UI/Card type layout.. cards give you the ability to show a lot of different data on the same screen, it’s just a layer on top of a layer.. you can still see the background between the cards.
That UI guy will def do way better than I can describe.
There are some freebie templates that are useful with Webflow and it will hardly require any more web handling. Most likely you’ll need to compress your images and etc. But check out the freebies:
https://webflow.com/free-website-templates
Webflow is awesome. You might as well just start playing around with it, but if you’re serious I’ve seen Flux Academy for Webflow be absolutely thorough. Pricey though $$$ !
What are you looking to do? I had taught myself the basics, and was able to work up to this with the template www.drewroze.com
I wouldn't even call it a shortcut. If you're a knowledgable web developer, Wix can be annoying to work with since it's designed primarily for the inexperienced. I haven't tried it yet, but Webflow looks like a great tool for designers who also understand code. This is their own take on Webflow vs Wordpress: https://webflow.com/vs/wordpress.
I am in no way an expert on the matter, but a CDN can go a long way to helping you scale a simple site, like a webcomic for example.
So if you built your site using wordpress, you could use a CDN plugin (and pay for the service) which would mean people are not actually hitting your server when they just load text and images.
The video thing is a different matter. You can use Akamai or other providers, but it is expensive and there should be a really good reason why YouTube or Vimeo are not good enough for you.
Other folks brought up scaling your own servers, like using docker, but if you just have a static site, that is over kill.
Note: you need to decide what you need from your site, and how you will build it. One anti-programming way to go is to use something like https://webflow.com to design a static site, and host it on their servers which scale “infinitely.”
I would recommend that so you can focus on content creation and not web server/hosting hell.
you could try webflow + foxy cart:
I've used webflow for awhile and have integrated it with shopify in the past because that is what my clients used. However, the integration with foxy is more popular. And it is really easy to build a site in webflow.
Also, webflow is coming out with their own e-commerce service soon you would eventually be able to have everything on webflow.
Millä tavalla ohjelmointi kiinnostaa? Onko koodi se joka saa sykkimään, vai vasta valmis käytettävä lopputuote? Itse huomasin vasta jälkikäteen, että koodi itsessään on vain pakollinen paha siistiin hiplailtavaan lopputuotteeseen, eikä itse koodi oikeastaan juuri kiinnosta.
Ohjelmointiosaamisesta saa toki merkittävää hyötyä mm. UI/UX-puolella, tai projektipäällikön tai vastaavan hommissa, eikä osaamisesta ole oikeastaan mitään haittaakaan. Tehtäviä koodin ympärillä on kuitenkin paljon, vaikkei suoraan koodari olisikaan. Koitan itse parhaillaan siirtyä enemmän asiantuntijarooliin erilaisissa webbiprojekteissa ja välillä tuntuu että itse koodia pidetään välillä liikaakin keskiössä. Tekniikka taustalla harvemmin on se juttu mikä loppukäyttäjää kiinnostaa.
Verkkosivustojen osalta saletti tapa saada mm. mainos-/digitoimistopuolella hommia on osata vääntää graafikon layoutista (tai voihan sitä itsekkin leiskailla) hyvin toimiva teema (Wordpress / Drupal). Graafikot ei tosin osaa aina ottaa kantaa mm. hovereihin, elementtien animaatioihin, responsiivisuuteen tms. jolloin myös koodarilla olisi hyvä olla visuaalista silmää ja muutakin ymmärrystä kuin pelkkä koodi. Saittien opettelun osalta itse koen hyväksi esimerkiksi Webflowin, jonka avulla voit tehdä perussivuston front-endin aika kätsysti. Fronttipaketti alas ja vaikka Wordpressin funktiot paikallensa. Volá.
Jos kiinnostaa kokonaisvaltaisempi koodaaminen webbipuolella (eikä pelkästään CMS-teemoittaminen) niin varmaan lähtökohtaisesti JavaScriptin kautta lähtisin opiskelemaan. Vue.js, React, Angular tai vastaava ja jotain omaa tietokantaan tallentavaa todolistaa näpertelemään.
I suspect your premises are right: self-service tech will eat the low-end price points, in-house and large agencies will continue to dominate the high-end.
I'm sure there will be a sizeable mid-price market (5-6 figures per year) for at least another decade, but I'm not sure how large after that. I'm already seeing some tools that are reducing or eliminating the need for designers and engineers.
For example, millions of small businesses already just use Wordpress and themes like Divi or Avada, with sometimes small customizations. Webflow creates responsive front-end code from mockups. It has a somewhat steep learning curve for now but in ten years, I don't think it's far-fetched to believe someone like my mom could use AR, VR, voice interfaces, and other intuitive tools to build a full-stack website by herself.
Homestead let anyone build a simple website during the dot-com boom and was bought by Intuit for $170 million. Wix let anyone build more dynamic websites and is now publicly valued at $2.7 billion. What could the next-generation website builder do?
I honestly think that's a more interesting question than how to be a next-gen agency. I suspect that as creation tools become more intuitive and powerful, the need for agencies and independent contractors will shrink. Not to zero, but maybe to more of a niche market, like travel agents after Expedia.
I think the job growth in creative careers is more likely to be on new platforms, like AR, VR, 3D printers, and wearables. There will be marketplaces that connect consumers with creatives to customize all kinds of products and experiences. It will be a renaissance. When everything is a canvas, creatives will be powerful.
If you're great at developing products for clients, I think it's worth asking, why not develop one yourself? :)
GO with webflow: https://webflow.com/ Best tool ever for easy and great design. - No hassle with updating (like WP, Drupal and other CMS) - Hosting included or you can export the code and upload to your own webspace - Awesome Interactions 2.0 https://webflow.com/ix2 (Don't be scared away by the looks of the 2.0 site, they are just making fun of the old times, and its all made in webflow w/o any coding)
I would look at adding Webflow too. It offers a lot of different plans depending on what you want to achieve. I've used the free service and from what I can tell it's relatively solid, I could see myself using it in the future.
Another, albeit limited to macOS, is Blocs. Seems nice for drumming up something relatively quickly in a visual manner.
edit: As for this site itself, it's nice, clean and clear. Thank you for not obscuring the information behind preloaders and bullshit animations :-)
Try out Webflow It has awesome designer tools that will let you build stylish, responsive, and dynamic sites with or without a client CMS. There are templates, tutorials and you can make a free user account and try it out.
Most important and best 2017 web design trends are :
Design that type of layouts which let content shine more than it
More SVGs
Use of brighter color
Virtual Reality
Big Typography

There are a few visual builders these days but they all rely on the basic building blocks of the web so it really helps to have a basic understanding of how web pages are actually built using different elements. That being said, you could look into:
Responsive Foundation Framer $79 http://www.coffeecup.com/foundation-framer/
Bootstrap Builder (still in beta) $79 https://www.coffeecup.com/bootstrap-builder/
Webflow - subscription (free to try but $35/mo to be able to export your site) https://webflow.com/
I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology who eventually got into design after college. I didn't really know code when I first started, and I totally regret not taking a formal class in web design to save me a ton of time on figuring out the stupidest things.
The very first websites I made were with a visual website designer called Webflow (think, Photoshop, but with puzzle pieces), and I was really stubborn on not using templates, and through a bunch of trial and error I figured out how code works, in an osmosis sort of way. It's visual, but its tools are intuitive with how HTML and CSS work, so I highly recommend playing with it while taking your web design class. Alternatives include Muse and Pinegrow, just choose one.
In that time, I got referred to a couple businesses who needed help with their existing WordPress websites, which basically meant figuring out how to use themes and plugins after installing them. Just getting familiar with them helped tremendously. On rare occasions, I would actually go into the code editor and play around, but mostly with what I was already comfortable with in Webflow (adjusting margins, changing font sizes, colors, etc.)
It's pretty easy to get into web design now, because a lot people have older websites that aren't mobile friendly. This experience eventually got me a job at an agency, so yeah, if it helps, this is how I started.
Webflow is what I've used and I love it for getting a simple setup ready (If I have a design in mind). https://webflow.com/ The free version only lets you download up to a certain amount of code (copy and paste instead of export), but pretty much every layout I've made has been simple enough to get the entire thing for. Hope this helps! :)
That was my first reaction too, but there's a pricing link at the bottom. It looks like it's possible to freely design (It should be made clearer) and just keep the code.
I don't think I want to use that kind of tools but their usage conditions wouldn't probably be a problem.
That's awesome! I think the colors of the hero image threw me off. It's this one if you're interested. I personally design and code everything myself and not a fan of wysiwyg website builders.
Its a good excuse to go into the post houses and try and talk to reception, who sometimes have some influence over some individuals in the building. Also - try and get a website set up? then you can host your blog, profile, cv etc there and present yourself as professionally as possible.
This service has some nice templates which always look creative and kinda slick https://webflow.com/discover/popular#recent
Get a business card? Good service: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/
Then make sure your details, number, email, URL all on there!
I highly recommend you check out webflow https://webflow.com/ or macaw http://macaw.co/ I've only used Webflow but they're both pretty similar. They're great tools if you want to make something quick and aren't really into programming.
There may be a chart widget that could be embeded. I didn't find one on a quick search though.
For custom code: Chartjs is a open source javascript charting script. Here is some simple examples. https://www.w3schools.com/ai/ai_chartjs.asp It should take minimal javscript coding and a some css styling to make the chart result look like the picture above.
Here is an example of chartjs and webflow working together: https://webflow.com/website/Chartjs-X-Webflow-Integration
Check out Webflow.com! In my opinion, its the best way to build websites today and it doesn't require any coding knowledge. (Although it's helpful to have some background in CSS styling). There are plenty of goldmine tutorials on YouTube and Webflow has its own Webflow university, where they teach you just about everything you can do with their software. There's a learning curve, but once you've put in the time, you can build amazing complex and customizable sites. I love Ran Segall's videos on YouTube. He also has his own course here: https://www.flux-academy.com
Looks like they're using Webflows.
But I gotta say... that site is terrible. What (and why!?!!) the hell is that thing following my cursor? And those gradient backgrounds... sheesh...
There is no elegant solution for 1. You just need an artist/graphic designer.
For 2. I'd be surprised if shopify is not working on something inhouse, possibly can get soon through an app. There are also other platforms built on/for web3 but you would likely then have to custom build the ecom on top of it, they may have it already. Something like https://webflow.com/
I can relate to no-code having a whiff of less flexibility, and I think it's true. However, the real question is, how much flexibility do you need?
Webflow has a very extensive no-code animation system, try and take a look at their animation showcase section. Everything you see is made without a line of code.
A word of warning though - Webflow is most likely not something you sit down and use from the first minute. They do have a great "Academy", and the speaker is entertaining, but what's really going on is that you're soft-learning how to code - just with no lines of code written.
They exist, personally I like https://webflow.com/ (never had the pleasure of working with Dreamweaver).
Reason they are not popular is Front-end is complex and the web was not designed to be what it is today. HTLM + CSS were designed for sharing articles between academics, so now you have layers and layers of 'hacks' on top of each other and with very complex interactions between HTML, CSS and JS.
One day the mainstream FE dev may be back to WYSIWYG like the Dreamweaver days, but probably not within the next year or three.
It works with images, but those lottie files tend to get pretty big. You can compress a lottie file now with dotlottie). I'm using image-based Lotties in this webflow template
Yeah. Googling it gives nothing related to the company except the press release from today. The website is just a lightly edited version of this template. Kwikana.com had an "office address" listed a few minutes ago that was a suburban house, but that appears to have just been removed from the site.
Edit: I'm pretty sure that Garin is a child.
Hey, first day back of the year here, so I apologize that I don't have time to explain it in detail. But, this template utilizes what you're talking about on their 'Process' page - http://splash-template.webflow.io/process
You could open the template in the designer to see how they did it and try to recreate it with you're own spin. https://webflow.com/templates/html/splash-ui-kit-website-template
You should check out Webflow if you do want to put a simple portfolio site together. All the basic building tools are free and you can publish it and link it from LinkedIn to better show your work at full resolution.
Clone a free Webflow template like Grit as one of your free starter projects. It already has multiple pages included. You can also sign up for a new Webflow account (you do happen to have another email address, right :)
Might be able to use something like this, but set it to affect the logo rather than a background image.
https://webflow.com/website/Random-image-on-reload
Dunno how you'd do that, but that'd be where I'd start :)
Here is an example of something close to what I mean. Just looking for something with possibly more options.
https://webflow.com/website/neomorphism-elements?ref=showcase-search&searchValue=neomorphism
Hey, you could do it with custom JavaScript if you are able to use Coinmarketcap’s API: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMsrFzoZYr0
Webflow also has an API allowing you to store data in the CMS: https://developers.webflow.com/#cms-api-reference
Keep in mind the CMS has a limit of 10000 records though (even on the enterprise plan): https://webflow.com/pricing
Certo. É bem a mesma dificuldade que tenho. O que vc precisa procurar estudar é web design.
O Material.io anda me ajudando bem, recomendo totalmente.
Essa matéria do Webflow tbm me ajudou bem, o básico de design não deve ser subestimado, algumas pequenas coisas fazem uma boa diferença.
It is possible.
Webflow is working on their own native Membership solution, but it is not out yet.
Currently you would have to use integrations like Memberstack and possible additional AirTable.
First up - inspite of you getting positive feedback for the idea from your connections, put together a concept page using any of the template based site builders like a umso.com, webflow.com etc. and run a simple experiment to see how many of your target audience signs up to get an early bird access to your biz/product. You can also use this to build your initial subscriber/mailing list.
Once you get validation for the concept, you can then build on the functional MVP (Minimum 'Valuable' Product) -- where the value of the product is evident to the TG. The MVP build is something you need to plan well - get the UX team you build/contract to interact closely with your engineering team to align strictly to your product vision (which means you need to have a working product description/reqmt document) --- which brings you to where you need to start today, before you spend time on a prototype.
You product vision document will inform the details of the Product Roadmap and the various 'projects' you will define along the way towards feature builds.
- What does the product do and for who?
- Why will they use it?
- How will they use it ? --- (user journey and user stories come here)
- How will it grow/scale and why? --- (engagement thesis and marketing strategy comes here)
- Revenue Model -- road to profitability
- Failsafe -- support/moat, etc.
Hope this 30K view helps. All the best!
>It was clearly built in webflow since it was featured on their blog here: https://webflow.com/blog/maximalism-web-design
If you look at the source code, it seems like it was built in Wordpress. The featured websites on the blog explicitly name the ones built with Webflow. Not all of them are.
Thanks so much for this, I cloned both the projects in the web flow forum, and played around with the jQuery inputs, and managed to change the date format, but it still seems to let me post a date that's years in advance, any ideas?

Webflow has a cloneable you can use as a starting point if you don't want to click out to a PDF
The pdf is a great idea. We are now 18 months into our Airbnb. As u/OakIsland2015 says your list of rules will get bigger over times, our first set of rules were simply "Treat our house as you would your own", this after the first guest was quickly scrapped and advice from others were to spell out things to people. Our list of "rules" is one A4 Page, it is personally things that I would not do in my home anyway, like please take your shoes off, as not everyone does.
However as you say not everyone uses the physical manual/guide. I now have an online version too, made with https://webflow.com/ (no referal link), which is free for most templates and you get your own custom domain (eg; yourname.webflow.io) it's also very easy to use, it automatically changes your design to be dynamic for different size screen (desktop, tablet, phone etc....) I've also made a webpage with directions on it that I send people a bit.ly link to guests, which tells me if people use the link or not, which I find useful.
I also have gone to the length of using an old mobile phone in my place that has a copy/link to the house manual/guide on, it also controls some the of the smart lighting, google speakers etc.... very handy personally.
Feel free to copy it and use it however you like.

I actually designed a template for real estate businesses over on the Webflow Template store. I'd be happy to help fit it for your client.
I couldn’t find one specifically for the SE page but people often make clones of Apple pages in Webflow like this one for the 12 Pro https://webflow.com/website/iPhone-12-Pro-Rebuild. There are also video tutorials you can probably learn a lot from.
You need to buy the CMS plan, its the cheapest that allows you to use a custom domain and CMS items. It's pretty easy to make a blog, this is well documented in lots of webflow's tutorials, or you can watch some youtube videos about this subject as well just search for "webflow blog cms"
This isn't a page builder solution like you see on other platforms, but realistically that sort of thing is rarely what people actually need. From my experience if you give someone a page builder setup they keep coming back for more modules and tweaks and alsort of other nonsense.
We use a setup like I described for a couple of different clients including our own website, and it works quite well and give you a very custom solution. You have to make sure you label everything well and have thought out the design beforehand but it is a viable solution. Webflow use something similar themselves here. In all honesty you probably don't want non designers building custom layouts restricting that will give you a much more cohesive site.
Here's the link to the rebuild.
And the link to clone it.
Almost no custom code was used. I used just a little for insignificant stuff.
Likely wouldn't work identically to this, but one idea would be to replicate something like this in the background:
https://webflow.com/website/Horizontal-Scroll-Layout-Example-with-Active-Menu
Instead of using a navbar as shown in the example, create an absolutely positioned div that sits in front of everything and holds the grid/block controller. Have the link blocks correspond to the different sections that would 'scroll' horizontally to the correct section in the background.
Our team at Flowout just released a new Webflow cloneable. Saturn is an easy-to-use, free SaaS template with a clean, modern design. Feel free to copy it and use it however you like.

yes! these were examples I provided him with. just 2 different kinds of horizontal scrolling, products horizontal scroll, hero section w/ images that horizontal scroll.

This kind of content is sometimes called 'scrollytelling'. This guide has a number of different tutorials that might help you get started:
I'm very intrested about ultra stellar, but I will be waiting still for more confirmation / info about them. Ultra stellar is still fairly new and hopefully everything will be great success!
Ultra stellar sounds almost too good to be true, that's why I'm little bit skeptic.
​
I will make a small list, which made me little bit cautious:
-The website is built with <em>https://webflow.com/</em> :
I'm not sure is it me, but I feel like why would any company use somekind of prebuilt "base" for the website? Isn't those pre built websites something, you would use when you do "website" for your mom's bakery business, where she is earning 20$ a month.. but not for actual companys?
-Can't find company number or actual faces, who are runnin the company?
-What if something goes south to whom we can turn to get help?
​
Can some official facet actually confirm that Ultra stellar is legit company?
Not to sound rude but perhaps you ought to use a website template instead and insert your pics there, as the templates are normally created by professionals with years of CSS and Javascript experience, and when visiting such a webpage you just psychologically feel a higher quality than from CSS website created by someone just getting started.
I can recommend this one: https://webflow.com/free-website-templates
>nks! Mackenzie's tutorial is great. That was sort of my go-to flow, but then I realized that Webflow has a limit of 100 pages per project
I think the 100-page-limit doesn't mean the actual 100 pages. If you design the user profile page as a template and you have 100 users, all these templated pages count one page. The real limitation is CMS Collection Items: CMS Plan up to 2000, and business up to 10000. See their Pricing page
There are, however, cases where a carrousel is good, like in web shops, app stores or like you said on netflix (to show lots of content in a more compact area). A carrousel is awful when you put it there on a landing page because you have too much content you don’t know to prioritise (or management thinks it’s important).
There’s a good article by Webflow where they describe most do’s and don’ts.
Rather than typing out a full guide on how to accomplish this, here’s a great cloneable site similar to what you’re attempting to create. Open it up in Webflow and you’ll be able to dive into the layout and interactions used to build it, as well as access the custom code that makes it possible.
Vu que tu n’as pas l'air de faire exprès.
- Le business model actuel est une création de site web + hosting contre un abonnement. Ce n'est pas du SaaS mais du simple dév + TMA.
- En SaaS, tu paierais un abonnement mensuel pour pouvoir accéder à une plateforme qui te crée autant de site web que tu le souhaites et s'occupe de l'hébergement. Ex:
Si on suivait ta définition du SaaS, ça voudrait dire qu'à peu près 80% des petites ESN qui développent pour leurs clients font du SaaS, ce qui est bien évidemment complètement faux.
I had this exact issue MANY times.. So rather than wait for a fix from webflow, I fixed it myself.. Install the StyleBot extension for chrome.. then add "https://webflow.com/design" as a site style... Then input ".media-xxl, .media-xl, .media-medium, .media-small, .media-tiny {border: 2px solid red;}" into the style editor... now, any time you switch from the standard view, your work area will have a red outline around it without interfering with your work, and without needing to worry about changing background colors when you're done.. it's subtle but it seems to stand out enough to me to catch my attention... hope it helps
i think about 60% of YCombinator companies use WebFlow.com to build their MVP
​
suggest you start there...could be done within 1 week depending on complexity....then use that just to see if people want to sign up...collect email addresses...use google and FB ads ($5-10/day ad spend) to get potential users to signup...iterate on the ads to improve response rate over a few weeks....then after you get some reasonable number of signups (500? 5,000?) use that to get angel/venture funding to build out your product.
Haven't actually used webflow before but they keep advertising this to me https://webflow.com/interactions-animations
Lottie is great for illustrations etc. Basically you can animate an illustration in Adobe After Effects and export to Lottie (or find one online someone else has made!). There's ways you can code the animation to respond to user action https://lottiefiles.com/interactivity and didn't know until looking it up to answer your question but looks like webflow is compatible with Lottie!
It will trigger on page load/refresh but you should also be able to set it to trigger on a button, this clonable project is probably pretty simalar to what you're looking for link
I might work on it first then buy it lol the template tbh I'm using the prisma template, in which if you take a quick look at it, it seems pretty easy to work with I think https://webflow.com/templates/html/prisma-portfolio-website-template
There are a few ways to go about this, here are some:
- The best method I've seen to make this work is to use the collection elements on a static page and change whatever you need on them individually (given you don't need to generate a ton of similar pages like blog posts).
- If you have a ton of pages you need to generate with different buttons leading somewhere else use filtering. Example: in a collection you're using have a 'prototype ID' (001 through n prototypes). Then filter to only display the button associated with that ID.
- If you're a little technical, here's another solution using ajax: https://webflow.com/website/ajax-content-load
I think Webflow is a great tool for landing pages. https://webflow.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=general-paid-branded&utm_term=keyword-targeting&utm_content=branded-ads&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2uH-BRCCARIsAEeef3lWX3UcHxz7wSH79mBPrl0kGlAuG5MOj1mOlMhS3XaKcmIhwZ4pbeA...
It is very powerful (perhaps too powerful), and may require someone with knowledge of it to help build it. Squarespace is another suggestion and you could easily use that without prior experience.
And finally, This sounds like a pretty simple landing page. Maybe you don’t need a tool at all??
Webflow and Webflow University is a great platform with great videos for visual learning. You can also clone templates of webflow pages and checkout the code, which helps you to understand how to structure! The above book (dummy guide to html/css and their other javascript/jquery) are also great resources. Learn more below!
Frankly you should move away from Wordpress altogether.
We use a website builder called webflow.com. It's easy to get started with, quite customisable and no-code.
You may find greater flexibility in the future as your needs for more integration arise.
PS: I am not affiliated with webflow whatsoever. Just a satisfied customer. We started on Wix.com, and quickly ran into issues of website loading speed and performance (desktop and mobile) + some dodgy plugins that would crash most of the time. Made the switch to webflow in a matter of 3 days (replicating our website from scratch). Performances of the website were without comparison.
When you use something like web flow you do not own any of the assets. They provide a free platform to create websites but you can’t download them and host them yourself. They make money by people hosting on their platform and paying a subscription fee. That means they own all the assets. I am creating my own site and want to own all of my assets
Here's something similar to what you're looking to do that was built in Webflow.
https://dreamlife.webflow.io/ - you could look at the source code to see how this was built or perhaps check the comments here as you may be able to email them and purchase the template - https://webflow.com/website/Beat-Store-Prototype
I'm late, but there is a few choices.
- Use No-Code tools! Like Webflow, SquareSpace, etc. Some websites made without coding.
- Learn to code.
- Learn enough code to get by.^[1]
1: This is probably the faster way. Learn how to google for what you want to make. You can cheat the coding process if you gain enough understanding to be able to skim code and get a general idea of what is going on.
Programming can be absolutely overwhelming for people with zero background experience, so I can see why you'd want to avoid it. With enough understanding, you can tweak files manually, learn to optimize SEO, rework simple scripts/js calculators into basic tools to do what you need.
I'd swear by Webflow as a no-code tool.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.

I've worked on several. Legal should absolutely drive the drafting, but you should work with them to make them digestible as possible.
