Hey Webflow devs, how’s work been for you lately? For me, inquiries have dropped a lot in the last few months. I just feel like the value of what we do has gone down, and most people now are happy with a basic AI-generated site and don’t see the need for anything more.
Is anyone thinking about switching to something else, or have you already made the jump? Would love to hear your stories.
Hey guys, have you also noticed a drop in Webflow dev work, or is it just me? I’ve been trying to find clients on Upwork, but the last few months it’s been dead quiet and the number of job posts has dropped a lot.
What channels are working for you right now?
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.
Hey everyone!
After spending several years building my Webflow template business, I'm exploring the possibility of selling it to someone interested in taking it to the next level.
The business is Nixar Studio, and you can check out the portfolio here:
https://webflow.com/templates/designers/nixar
A few things included in the business:
I think this could be a good opportunity for an existing Webflow agency, template creator, or digital product business looking to expand its portfolio without starting from scratch.
I'm open to discussing the numbers, revenue, and other details privately with genuinely interested buyers.
If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, feel free to DM me. Happy to share more details.
Thanks!
Hey everyone! I’m a Webflow developer with 5+ years of experience, looking for freelance projects.
I can help with Figma-to-Webflow builds, CMS websites, custom GSAP animations, and fixes to existing sites. I also build Next.js websites.
If you’re looking for a developer, DM me. Happy to share my work!
every time i gave claude a screenshot and said "make it look like this" it just guessed. spacing off, wrong fonts, and it always came out looking like every other ai site
so i built a chrome extension (pikspec) that grabs the actual css instead. what i did in the video:
- opened spotify, opened pikspec in the side panel
- hovered over stuff to see the real font, size, colors, padding etc
- clicked the pricing cards to lock them and hit reconstruct
- copied the prompt from the dashboard and pasted it into claude
it spat out one html file and honestly it's pretty much the same as the original. same type, spacing, colors. side by side is at the end, i guess from html file you will have enough context to use it for your own website to make changes as per your tech stack.
not saying go ship someone else's site lol. i mostly use it to see how good sites are built and to start my own stuff from something that doesn't look like ai slop. Sometimes i like one website's navbar while others card design.
it's free on the chrome web store, link is here. anyone got a better way to give claude design context? genuinely curious

I've followed tutorials and templates, but I can't seem to figure out how to align them this way with Flexbox. Given my extremely basic skills in web design, this may be the first of several posts since I refuse to use AI for help.
Hey all!
We've been on Webflow for the last few years and we're considering moving to Framer, but I'm honestly not sure yet. Before we go any further I'd love to hear from people who've been through this.
Our setup for context:
What I'm curious about:
Any feedback is appreciated, good or bad. Thanks!!
Hey! I'm 20, studying IT, and I've been building custom integrations and plugins for Webflow for a few years now. I'm thinking about turning that into a small agency.
Before I go all in, I want to hear from people who actually use Webflow every day. How often do you get stuck because Webflow just doesn't have the thing you need? Some missing feature, an integration that doesn't exist, a workaround that's way too hacky...
What was the last thing that made you go "why can't Webflow just do this?" I'd honestly love to hear about it, even the small stuff. Thanks!
