Welcome to the Webflow Forum, introduce yourself!

Thanks for the warm welcome @PixelGeek

The webflow buzz became so loud that I had to finally check it out for myself.

Found myself helping a startup with some light web/ word press management earlier this year. Lots of experience with Adobe programs and need more flexibility than what Wordpress themes can deliver.

Looking to find help and offer help with my experiences as I dig deeper into webflow.

Webflow tutorial videos are great, it’s also amazing to see live building of a page/site and the hurdles that even experienced users hit when developing/designing.

Cheers

Hello everybody,

My name is Sérgio, I am a Brazilian Graphic and Digital Designer based in Amsterdam. I’ve discovered Webflow about a year ago and I have instantly felt in love with this tool, because it is something I’ve always wanted, a way to design, built and launch without knowing how to code.

I’m here looking for inspiration and to learn from professionals from all around the globe.

Salut, Nelson and everyone.

I’m new, just starting out with webflow and it seems super promising!

I’m a freelance full-stack art director and designer, born and raised in Los Angeles, but now living in France. Most of my clients are based in the US, and the majority have some kind of web component that is a part of their project. I would love to know more about webflow for building smaller sites, landing pages, etc.

I created my first post in the forum, but it was over the July 4th weekend, and I think it got buried. I haven’t had any replies for a couple of weeks : (

If anyone would care to check-out my first post, and particularly if you’ve had luck customizing sliders/carousels, I would love the input. Here it is:

Thanks so much everyone!

Hello World!

I’m the co-founder of a small agency called Clade Design in Asheville, NC. I used to work as a designer at Adobe in SF with my husband before we started our agency together, and now we work from the beautiful smoky mountains.

I used to dabble in front-end development, but Webflow makes it super easy for me to handle fun animations and hand off websites for our clients. It’s been great so far, and I’m hoping to use it more!

Hey all :fox_face:

Thanks @PixelGeek for giving us a chance to introduce ourselves.

My name is Andrew, I’m a design apprentice living in Paris. I work for a company called VOD Factory, and am completing a master’s program in Digital Art Direction.

I’m new to webflow (as well as web design, I’ve mostly done print work) and will be using it to redo my company’s website.

Here’s where I’m at so far.

Here’s my company’s current site

I actually had a question and needed some help, I tried to create a thread following the community guidelines but it got flagged as spam by Akismet, guess I’m too new of a user. :upside_down_face:

Looking forward to learning with you all!

:fr: Et s’il y a des français parmi vous, hâte de collaborer ! Y a-t-il des meetups qui s’organisent sur la capitale parfois ?

@akearns welcome to the forum! I know there’s several people here from France. I’m from Belgium myself but my French is as rusty as anything :smile: .
Have you tried posting another topic about your issue?

@sarahfrison Thanks for saying hi :blush:
I have not yet tried to post a second topic, I was afraid it would be flagged as spam if I reposted the same thing.

Hi Family,

Born and raised in Tucson Arizona.

After success and failure from previous ventures, I was having trouble honing in on what it is exactly I wanted to do. Started with Amazon FBA, but to do it right, the barrier of entry was too high. Then “drop shipping”, but don’t like the idea of having to rely on 3rd parties to handle QC, Branding and Shipping. As my options were running out, I discovered affiliate marketing. I love the idea of providing great content and value then being able to monetize your hard work!

I knew that I needed a website and as I felt in the past, it needs to stand out. “Website Building” research here I come.

When I had my Music Production Store back in 2006 I was using eCommerce solutions like Andale and Zoovy and was trying to build sites with tables, using Dreamweaver. :open_mouth: Didn’t have time for the complexity as I was running the store. Then I tried Wix and hated the limitations. I didn’t like the limitations then and I don’t like them now! Wow, I would have thought Wix would have been way more advanced by now.

I knew it was time to crack down and learn code. After realizing this was going to take years of implementation, which I don’t mind, but my living conditions require that I figure out a faster way, I thought I’d give Wix another try and yeah… no go. So I started digging and got caught up in CommerceHQ and the “Drag and Drop” app was horrible! Finally during my full fledged research, I stumbled onto Webflow. This is when things started to change for the better.

Yes, I understand there are limitations with Webflow as well; however, things feel different here. I’ve always said that companies are so concerned about training for the job and its duties… forgetting psychology and human behavior. I believe a large portion of training for all companies SHOULD include training on human behavior. I believe Webflow understands that. They are ecstatically involved with the community. They understand the needs of our clients’ client and us. They are systematically launching these upgrades and updates in the order of importance, but rest assured they will build our dream app.

I’m sure it took time for technology to catch up in order for a product like Webflow to exist, and rather than putting out a product that only fulfilled half of what’s needed, they waited till technology caught up, but built the community first. Brilliant. Now with these web browsers providing a lot more capabilities, we are starting to see Webflow flourish.

There’s a lot more work to be done, but I’m glad I’m on board with Webflow and its community. With all the opportunities Webflow is going to provide, I’m 100% confidence I’m in the right place.

Past Accomplishments:

  • Owned a Music Production Store for 10 Years
  • Music Producer and Engineer (Point Blank Music School Graduate)
  • Music on Jersey Shore, Dog Whisperer, What Not to Wear and More…

I also love kids. I guess it’s because they are so nonjudgmental and funny. If I could hang with a couple of known artists it would have to be Neelix and Boris Brejcha. :stuck_out_tongue:

I created a separate thread, but wanted to say hi here as well :wave:

Thanks for setting this up @PixelGeek and for everything else you do for the Webflow community!

A little about me:
Hi, I’m Bryan… currently living on an island off the coast of Maine.

I’ve been using Webflow for a few years now, but recently decided to double down and get more involved in the amazing community here (ironically, this decision happened like 2 days before they shared the huge round of funding they just received). My background is more in product and UI/UX design rather than web design, so most of my day-to-day work happens in Sketch/Figma/InVision. I’ve been using Webflow for my portfolio and other personal projects though, and it’s the first visual editor that I actually believe in!

I’ve previously helped nearly 3000 designers improve their user interface animation skills with my course on InVision Studio, and now I’m hoping to redirect some of that knowledge and effort toward Webflow.

Glad to be here!

Cheers,
Bryan

Howdy y’all, I made a post yesterday after signing up on the Forums but didn’t see there was an introduction thread!

So anyway, my name is Josh, I’m from Houston, TX, working at a small creative agency down here by NASA. I’m somewhat new to the web development world, having built a couple tiny Wordpress sites before coming onboard here back in April. Since starting my new job I’ve done a site in WP, as well as a single-page in Wix. During that second project was when my higher-ups and I started digging into this “new” platform called Webflow.

I’d heard the name before but never did too much research. However, with a new contract involving a pretty hefty web redesign planned, we figured Webflow would be the way to go! All of this to say, I’ve never actually used the platform before (as I’m truthfully a graphic designer / animator) so I figured as I begin working through this contract, signing up and getting involved here in the Forums would be a pretty smart idea!

I think that about sums it up. Graphic designer-turned-web dev excited to join the community and make some exciting projects with Webflow (and y’all’s help :sweat_smile:)!

Hi guys!

My name is Nicolas, I’m French and co-founder of Naker.io, a webapp & a community to make the web cool again!

We believe that real-time 3D / WebGL allow us creating interactive and immersive digital experiences and give life to websites! Unfortunately, it’s still quite complicated to masterize from scratch, so we’re building a no-code platform to create and embed cool interactive stuff.

Apart from that, I’m a big fan of football (Allez l’OM) and music (I sing and rap)!

@Naker_Make_the_web_c looks cool, welcome to the forum. Just so you know, we don’t allow people to simply post about their product all the time. You’ve got to come and play too :slight_smile:

Thanks for creating this!
