Will pay to help with my identity crisis with starting agency
Hi all, hope everyone is winning. Posting in a few different threads so apologies if you see cross-posting.
In an extremely weird position, essentially came out with a degree I have no interest in, have been teaching myself web design for 2 years. Essentially at a point where it’s easier to chase dreams than get a job.
I fell in love with web design because of the award farming webflow sites using GSAP and Linus and since then have been trying to learn as much as I can. Problem is unless you’re essentially top 5% in the space I don’t think you’re going to be getting much work, along with this I am terrible with managing my time.
Amidst a crisis on what I want to do moving forward, I spoke to my mentor who has suggested I look deep into building sites with ai in a tasteful way. He said he works with someone who is extremely similar to me a designer turned ‘dev’ though I can barely say that and is now managing clients on a $0 down, x amount monthly structure in which he uses grok bots, cursor and a headless csm (I can just wrap my head around it) called sanity.
I guess im just looking to connect with anyone who is a designer as I love nothing more than webflows GSAP ui and just curious to hear about peoples TASTEFUL ai workflows that you think I could assimilate to whether it be wire framing on Figma and feeding that to grok bots or how to go about it as I don’t really understand how you’d manage GSAP animations without a UI to play around with. I know people can manage it but I realise im far from the smartest in the bunch and definitely don’t think I could manage GSAP without a UI.
I use the Webflow MCP but it doesn’t seem good enough to build out full projects more so debugging and filling in boxes etc (I could be wrong).
I guess TLDR wondering if anyone could help me who may be in a similar boat and is now streamlining their work with ai and understands what I mean coming from a webflow background.
Worst comes to worst im thinking just doing rough wireframes in webflow and exporting code into headless CMS for clients I manage so I don’t have to get charged outrageous amounts by webflow.
Truly anything is appreciate and needless to say happy to pay for anyone to send me in the right direction.
