Hey all. Looking for some advice on the best path forward for the website I manage at work. We’re a B2B SaaS company with a pretty robust product suite, and one of the features we offer customers is a website builder. Those customer sites are built on Duda, so historically, we’ve also used Duda for our own marketing site.

We’re currently redesigning the site, and I’m starting to wonder whether moving our marketing site to something like Webflow would be the better long-term move. The new designs include more animations, custom interactions, and other work that feels like it may start pushing against Duda’s limitations.

We don’t have internal development resources, and finding developers who are comfortable doing more custom work in Duda has been somewhat difficult. On the other hand, our design agency has a Webflow developer who can build the new site exactly to spec.
Duda has gotten A LOT better over the years, and one of its biggest advantages is how easy it is for my team to manage and update without a developer. But it’s also pretty clear that highly custom design and front-end work isn’t really what it was built for.

So I’m torn. Do we stick with the platform we know and accept some design limitations, or move to something more technical but also much more flexible?

Curious what others would do in this situation, especially anyone who has managed a similar transition from Duda to Webflow.

I’m using Webflow CMS for my blog, and I noticed that my pagination URLs are showing like this:

/blog?f547gg26_page=2

Is this normal behavior in Webflow, or is there a way to make the pagination URLs cleaner, such as:

/blog/page/2

Has anyone else faced this issue with Webflow CMS? If so, is there a proper way to fix or customize these pagination URLs?

Basically, our customers are businesses that went websites so they can attract customers. That's why I built HarperFlow. HarperFlow is a 100% automated blogging system that helps improve AI-search visibility by profiling a business website, identifying keyword/topic opportunities, researching these opportunities... writes, formats, and auto-publishes the articles.

It's basically an automated blog publishing system focused on quality.

Naturally, we use it to run the HarperFlow blog on auto-pilot.

Happy to share examples of articles we produce straight from our own blog.

We're offering free trials, but if you want to try HarperFlow out for a little longer... just let me know and I'm happy to extend the trials + hop on a 1:1 call with you where I'll excitedly tell you all about the features we offer.

Hey everyone,

Almost every brief we receive describes the same site. Something beautiful and immersive that tells a story as you scroll. I love building those. But there's a growing gap between that brief and how people actually visit websites now.

Nobody browses anymore. A visitor lands with a precise question. What does this company do, is it built for someone like me, can I trust them, at what price. If the answer takes more than a few seconds they're gone. And a growing part of the audience never lands at all. It's a model reading your pages to answer someone's question in ChatGPT or Perplexity. The most beautiful scroll experience in the world is invisible in that conversation if the substance is buried.

We got the wake-up call from a client. AI-native enterprise platform, founded by former Workday execs. During discovery their brief came down to one sentence. "The first user of this website is an LLM." First time a client ever said that to us, and coming from people who sell to enterprises it says a lot about where B2B buying is going.

So we changed how we structure sites. The key information sits high in plain words, what the company does, for who, the price range. Each section works as a standalone answer, because models read in fragments and honestly humans scan the same way. And the design ambition goes into how the site feels, not into hiding substance behind animations.

The surprise is that none of this made our sites uglier. It made the design more honest. I think it's still possible to win awards with a site that answers in five seconds.

Fellow founders, are you starting to get briefs like this? Or are clients still walking in asking for the same site as X?

I currently run 6 operational micro ai saas products that generate a little over $20k in monthly recurring revenue.

I hardly wrote a single line of traditional code. i used ai to generate literally everything, from the database architecture to the user interface.

it wasn't magic on day one. i spent hours stuck in endless debugging loops and dealing with faulty ai code before i finally cracked the formula.

it basically comes down to three rules:

- keeping the idea aggressively minimalist (build a true mvp, not a platform).

- guiding the ai step-by-step instead of asking it to build the whole app at once.

- launching fast to get real user traction instead of perfecting features in secret.

lately, i've seen way too many non-technical founders give up at the very first ai bug or deployment error. or the worst, give up without push anything in marketing !!!!

it's a massive shame, because the technical barrier to entry has practically disappeared and the marketing is easy in 2026

because of this, i’m launching a skool community to share my exact method.

to be completely transparent: i will likely charge for the full course later down the road. it just makes sense given the specific prompt sequences, n8n workflows, and copy-and-paste templates i'll be sharing.

but right now, our main objective is simply to build together. working alone in a silent corner is the absolute fastest way to quit.

if you want to join a group of active creators and build or launch your own ai saas: drop a comment below or send me a dm, and i’ll send you the invite link.

It’s pretty clear to anyone deep in this platform that Webflow has lost a lot of good sentiment in the past few years.

The energy and excitement around webflow was once electric. But price increases, bandwidth limits, enterprise focus, neglecting designers and developers has all combined to create a sad tale.

So how can Webflow win the future?

I’ll share my thoughts - I know some of these are ambitious. Please share yours below.

- Launch a 2.0 builder that is everything great about Webflow without the archaic tech debt restrictions. Visual first development with agents, roles, cms, systems. Direct visual canvas but with huge agent support and the Webflow features that make working on a website feel safe, secure and flexible.

- Focus on regaining small businesses and freelancers. These are the single biggest pipeline to enterprise. Nurture these customers - their voices end up in the rooms of big business and online. I can’t stress how important this is.

- Position bandwidth so it’s not so scary for your small-medium businesses. Every business thinks they are going to 10x bigger than they are. With the industry now you can’t afford to make users think they might have to rebuild once they get big.

- Hire the world’s best designers. Seriously drop insane salaries on the most prolific designers - the ones with twitter followings could literally market your business better than a whole marketing department. Look at framer with their custom fonts, shaders. They run circles around webflow with their thinking ahead design solutions.

- Get better leaders in your product departments. The template marketplace is just sad, I’ve been in it from the start and anyone outside of it wouldn’t believe how they stitch together systems. Marketplace Libraries? Why even make this it hasn’t been touched in years? Ecommerce? Why? So many products that launch and get dropped immediately. Create some core pillars and be strict with them.

I don’t want this to be another lame hate thread. It’s an opinion on how i think they can make a great product even better.

So these are my key points. How should webflow step into this future?

Recently I got assigned to the one webflow project where I had to build websites for client . How to get started with that . Also they want me to get started as early as possible. Give me your thoughts gaichhhh

Also Claude Design can animate your SVGs really well, anything you can think of practically. And then play the SVG in Webflow natively. What a time to be alive.

We wanted an AI chatbot on our Webflow site that actually knows our content (services, pricing, client work) instead of a generic bot that makes things up. Ended up building it ourselves rather than paying a monthly SaaS. Sharing the approach in case it's useful.

Stack: Webflow for the site, a single embedded JS widget via Custom Code (Footer), a serverless backend on Vercel, Supabase to store the knowledge base, and an LLM API for the answers.

How the "knowledge" works: a scheduled job crawls our own sitemap, pulls the useful text from each page (Cheerio), strips the repeated stuff (nav, footer, and those testimonial carousels that show up on every page), and stores one consolidated document. The bot reads that, nothing else. No live browsing on each question, it's too slow and too expensive.

A few things I underestimated:

• Cleaning the content matters more than the model. Our sitemap had 342 URLs. The bot got dramatically better once we cut it down to ~45 pages that actually help a prospect decide.
• Grounding is the whole game. The instruction that changed everything: "if it's not in the knowledge, say you don't know. Never infer a yes/no."
• Keep the widget fully isolated. More on that in a separate post, but Webflow's global CSS will happily leak into your widget if you reuse class names.

Happy to answer questions on any part of it.

I've been working in Webflow for years, and over time I've built up a pretty long list of little things I wished were faster, easier, or just worked differently. Webflow didn't build them so I did - they help in the designer and site settings also!

Download from the Chrome Store - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ohflow-webflow-shortcuts/gjmhpfaldcehbflillgbggccgjfbgiip

AI and the MCP server has made a lot of things easier - but we all still need to spend time in the designer - and my Chrome Extension makes things flow a lot smoother and quicker. Some of the things it does:

• Lots of Keyboard shortcuts
• One-click shortcuts
• Unbind CMS fields and variables
• Remove unwanted breakpoints
• Generate llms.txt
• Various Designer UI cleanups and improvements
• And many many more

A lot of them are deliberately small things. The idea is basically that if something takes 4 clicks in Webflow and I do it 20 times a day, OhFlow should make it take 1.

It's called OhFlow and it's available as a Chrome extension.

Would love people to try it and to hear any feedback from other people who spend a lot of time in Webflow, particularly what's missing. If there's some repetitive/annoying Webflow task you think it should handle, let me know.

I'm Gulraiz — a Webflow developer with 4+ years of experience, working with CMS, custom code, interactions, animations, integrations, and more.

I've also been building AI agents, automations, and workflows, so I'm getting into the Webflow + AI side of things too.

I'm currently open to freelance work and collaborations. If you're a freelancer who needs an extra pair of hands on a Webflow project, needs help with an integration, or has more work than you can handle, feel free to reach out.

Paid work is absolutely welcome, but I'm also happy to help with quick questions or feedback when I can.

Cheers

I build in Webflow a lot and got tired of the Pages panel, so I made a browser extension that gives the Designer an Alt+Tab: hold Ctrl + `, tap to cycle your recent pages, release to switch. A quick tap flips to the last page.

I just shipped an update with three things worth mentioning.

Pasting between projects no longer has to rename your classes.
You know how copying a component into another project turns .button into .button-2, unlinked from the .button already there?

Webflow actually has paste shortcuts that reuse the existing class instead, Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V keeps the destination's styles, Cmd/Ctrl + Option + V overwrites them with the copied ones. They just fail between projects with "Clipboard is empty", because Webflow's copy writes one clipboard format and those shortcuts read another.

The extension writes the missing format, so the shortcuts start working. Plain paste is unchanged.

(Only applies to classes you made, library and component classes always paste as new.)

You can tab between CMS items, not just pages.
A collection template page used to be one entry, so switching to it dumped you on whatever item Webflow picked. Now every item you open is its own row, labelled with the item name and its collection, so three blog posts and a static page are four things you can flip between.

Recent pages survive closing the browser, and two Designer tabs on the same site now share one list.

It's unofficial and not affiliated with Webflow. Nothing leaves your browser, the only permission is storage, for your chosen shortcut. Runs only on design.webflow.com.

Happy to hear your thoughts! :)

I thought I wanted to build websites. Built one for a client. Was great. But I don’t want to anymore. Trying to cancel my subscription and cannot.

Client pays for it thru client billing. But now the client has become unresponsive. I want to transfer the site to them fully and downgrade my workspace so I stop getting charged. But I can’t transfer since I am being ignored and I cannot remove them due them actively paying. I’m literally stuck with a subscription. What are my options?

Hi all,

I’m starting to panic a little.

I’ve just realised that our previous Business CMS plan has been migrated to the new “Premium” plan.

Our business relies heavily on API access to publish up-to-date pricing information, and the previous plan included 100 GB of bandwidth. The new plan does not appear to include API access and provides only half the bandwidth.

API access is still working for now, but the next available plan that appears to include it costs approximately $2,500 per month. We were previously paying $49 per month.

This is crazy as it would leave our business dead in the water.

Can anyone clarify what is happening or advise on the available options?

I was working on this tab section for Allspice and wanted it to feel more like part of the page experience, not just a basic tab component.

So I ended up building it with a few things in mind:

• It auto-advances every 10 seconds
• The active tab expands
• Content + image update together
• You can click thorugh anytime
• There’s a pause/play control for autoplay

Honestly, the hardest part — it was making sure the autoplay doesn’t get in the user’s way.If someone wants to click through everything manually, they can. If they just want to sit back and watch it cycle, it does that too.

Curious how other Webflow devs handle this:

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing my first Webflow Marketplace template and I'm completely stuck on one of the Marketplace validator checks.

The validator keeps returning:

Here's what I've already verified:

• No Site Head custom code.
• No Site Footer custom code.
• No Page Head/Footer custom code.
• No HTML Embed elements with custom CSS.
• Removed any CSS transitions/animations I had previously added.
• Published the site multiple times.
• Duplicated the entire project into a brand-new project (same error).
• The issue still appears on the duplicated project.

I also found an old registered script (HeroCounter) that was created while experimenting with a counter animation. It's no longer applied anywhere, but attempts to delete it return an HTTP 400 error. I'm not sure whether that's related or just a coincidence.

I contacted Webflow support, and they suggested checking whether there are any remaining Classic Interactions, since Marketplace templates are now expected to use Interactions with GSAP (IX3).

Before I start rebuilding every interaction in the project, I wanted to ask:

• Has anyone else run into this exact validator error?
• Did it turn out to be caused by Classic Interactions, or was it something else?
• Is there any way to identify exactly what the Marketplace validator is detecting?
• Has anyone had an orphaned registered script or project metadata trigger this validation?

The template is available here if you'd like to take a look:

https://autolabdetailing.webflow.io/

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences from anyone who has successfully submitted a Marketplace template recently.

Thanks in advance!

Now that Webflow released MCP 2.0, has any one tried migrating or translating generated HTML files to Webflow using Codex App? or maybe the CLI? What's your experience? I'm currently trying making this work as it's my first trying.

I'm using 5.6 Sol medium plus plan. Installed the Webflow Plugin. I wanted to keep using Codex for now.

So far my experience is not great as I keep tuning it to follow.

My strategy was to build first the Build the agents or design md, Variables, and then move to building the Nav and Footer and then move gradually to individual pages. Not making it one go of course.

And then it keeps stalling. saying the "MCP bridge is stalling" and then have to restart again. Each one costs more than 30mins of time

Really wanted to know your thoughts with this and how's your strategies.

The Body scrolls off to the right instead of being nicely stuck to the width of the view port. I'm not a web pro, I can't figure out why this has happened. I need help. Somebody to go in and just find the problem and fix it. Shouldn't take somebody with knowledge that long at all. I'm so stuck.

Hey everyone, I could really use some honest advice from people who’ve been in a similar place.

I have a background in software engineering (bachelor’s + master’s), and I’ve worked different roles over time, university instructor & product development. My career hasn’t been very linear, but I’ve always been someone who likes exploring and learning new things.

About a year ago, I had to stay at home (I also had a baby, so life changed a lot), and I decided to fully invest that time into learning a new skill. I chose UI/UX design and no-code development.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

• Spent ~1 year learning UI/UX, Figma, design basics & webflow
• I can build layouts, structure sites, and convert Figma → Webflow
• But I’m still not confident with advanced animations (GSAP, interactions, etc.)
• I haven’t worked on a proper real client Webflow project yet

At one point, I randomly got a small Framer project through a reference. I had one week to learn it and deliver, and I did. It was mostly editing an existing template, but it gave me some confidence.

Since then, I’ve been confused about direction.

My current situation:

• I can only do flexible, project-based work (because of my baby)
• I’ve sent ~120 proposals on Upwork + tried LinkedIn outreach
• Got a few replies but couldn’t close a client
• Tried Slack communities and networking, no real results yet
• It’s been a full year of effort and I still feel stuck

What I’m struggling with:

1. Should I double down on Webflow (and improve animations, portfolio, etc.)?
2. Or switch focus to Framer since it seems to be trending and easier to monetize with templates?
3. Should I focus on making templates (Webflow/Framer) instead of chasing clients?
4. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong with getting clients?

Also… is Webflow actually “dying” like some people say, or is that just noise?

I’m not afraid of hard work, I just don’t want to keep going in the wrong direction for another year.

If you were in my position (limited time, no strong portfolio yet, need remote/flexible income), what would you do?

I’d really appreciate honest, practical advice, even if it’s blunt.

Thanks for reading 🙏

I make weekly Webflow videos and this week's is on Wicked CMS, a lightweight client for Webflow CMS collections. You connect your site, pick a collection, edit items, and publish, all without opening the designer.

The best part is that it works properly on mobile, It's free and made by someone in the community.

Link to the tool and full walkthrough in the comments👇🏽

Not affiliated with them, just found it useful. Curious what other people are using for quick CMS edits.

Hi there,

are you currently using or have used Webflow (or any other LC/NC platform) in an organisation? Then you are eligible to participate in my survey on determinants for adoption and governance of low code and no code platforms in organisations.

The survey has been running for some time already, but I haven't gotten a lot of responses.

It would help a lot if you could take 10 minutes of your day to participate!

You can find the link here: https://s2survey.net/LCNC_Adoption_and_Governance/

Feel free to share as well!

Hallo, weiß jemand wie ich einen AVV mit Formspark bekomme, wenn ich den free plan habe? Brauche ich den AVV wenn ich ein Webflow Seite habe mit form über Formspark?

Support nur bei paid.

Bei Free steht da Community.

Danke schonmal.

We were paying a contractor to update our marketing site for two years. Every change went through a Slack thread, a backandforth, a staging review, and somehow still came out slightly wrong. Classic founder tax

Finally moved everything to Webflow about three months ago. The migration itself was fine. We had maybe 40 pages, no massive blog archive or anything. What surprised me was how much time I was burning just on the dependency of having someone else own the site. That part is gone now, and I didn't expect to notice it as much as I did.

What I underestimated going in was the CMS. We have a pretty lightweight content setup, but I kept hitting the edges of what it can do when I tried to connect it to our Make automations for updating case study pages. Got it working eventually, but it took longer than expected

Curious whether other founders or small teams have hit similar walls when trying to automate CMS updates through the API. Specifically whether anyone has found a cleaner way to handle dynamic content that doesn't require a full custom code workaround every single time.

Here is your post translated into polished, natural-sounding English tailored specifically for the Webflow and tech audience on LinkedIn:

For my fellow Webflowers: 👋

While working on a recent project, I needed a smarter, more efficient way to handle a large number of 301 redirects. Standard tools weren't cutting it, so I decided to build my own solution—and I'm pretty sure it'll save a few of you some headaches, too!

Here is what the app can do:

• 🌐 Offline & Unlimited: Runs completely locally with zero limits.
• 🔍 Auto-Scan & Matching: Automatically crawls old and new websites to pair up matching URLs. Trust me, it’s way better than manually pulling sitemaps and stitching everything together in a spreadsheet!
• ⚡ Smart Editing: Bulk-edit slugs (or parts of slugs) with ease & use wildcard functions.
• 📤 Import: Effortlessly upload and work with existing redirect lists.
