I made a video on Webflow's recent updates (from July 1st to August 14th). What are your thoughts?

I’ve been tracking every single Webflow update for a while now, and the sheer volume of changes since July 1st has been relentless.

I just did a deep dive into the latest ones, and honestly? It’s a bit of a mixed bag. I’m curious how you guys are handling this. Does anyone else feel like we’re being forced to learn "AI: Claude, Gemini, Chat GPT.etc" just to keep up with basic dev tasks, rather than focusing on actual design and code?

TLDR (lol)

  • CMS Field Grouping: Finally here, and it's a 9/10 update imo.
  • ChatGPT/MCP 2.0 Integration: Powerful, but keep an eye on those AI credit costs—it’s getting sneaky. Like when Webflow just made auto-generation of Alt text, Title tags, or Schema use AI credits when it used to be 100% free... sneaky.
  • Bulk Form Options: Huge time saver for forms, especially with AI help.
  • Data Attributes: You can now paste in the name + value together - nifty.
  • The "Enterprise Pivot": Feels like every other Webflow change is optimizing for massive teams, not us solo freelancers (as in it's mostly non-applicable).
  • The MCP 2.0 and CHAT GPT integration: This is by far the biggest update, and it actually works lol!

If you enjoyed this video I made a playlist of all previous updates

What are your thoughts on the latest updates?

Thoughts on the recent retirement of the Legacy Editor :(

What are your guys' thoughts on the Legacy Editor being retired (as of August 4th, 2026)?

Honestly, it was one of the biggest selling points (at least even for me) when I started using Webflow back in the day. We can all agree that Webflow has a high learning curve and the UI can be straight-up confusing for new users or clients. The Legacy Editor was the perfect "safe space" for clients to make content updates without the risk of accidentally breaking the structure or messing up CSS classes.

It feels like the end of an era.

I’ve put together some thoughts on why I’m going to miss it, and more importantly, a guide for how to handle client handoffs now that it’s officially gone.

Curious to hear how you all are adapting your client workflows! Are you finding the new preview/marketer roles to be a good enough replacement, or are you feeling the loss of that ultra simple, focused UI?

Cause I'm definitely feeling the loss because while the new roles are good - it's most often not needed for "smaller" clients.

My thoughts on the native Webflow AI builder (NOT MCP!)

I've been a Webflow developer for around 6 years, so I was there PRE-AI (boy do i miss those days ayyy).

But I'm a bit late to the party (but better late then never). I used Webflow AI the other day and honestly it is very reminisce of Relume (which I made a video review here).

Like the UI is very similar lol (makes me question if they had a close door meeting / partnership). Anyways my thoughts on the AI builder:

The good:

  • Instant Wireframing: Generates functional baseline page layouts in seconds, giving you a quick visual starting point.
  • Streamlined Prototyping: Helps present quick structural concepts to clients before diving into detailed visual styling.

The "bad":

  • Basic Layouts: Seems like it's pulling from a library pool
  • Dynamic CMS Integrations: Linking date blocking, inventory systems, or custom Webflow CMS collections requires manual relational setup.
  • It's clearly not vibe code = pro website: You can't just prompt something and boom there is an awwwwards winning site (it's simply not there yet - not even close).
  • It's still pretty technical: like webflow made it the best it can following its UI but like someone wanting to build an AI website themselves still needs technical knowledge of (HTML / CSS)

You can see the full breakdown via my Youtube video here:

What are your thoughts?

ps. Will be testing the MCP integration soon and hopefully sharing my thoughts there.

Is it just me? OR IS WEBFLOW DASHBOARD always loading super slow

Anyone or just me? I'm very sure I have:

  • Decent internet connection (50mps)
  • Updated Chrome Browser
  • Refreshed Cache and hard refreshed browser

This use to rarely happen in the past (been using WF for almost 7 years) and now i notice it more and more. It's really annoying.

Anyone?
