8 Biggest Webflow Mistakes I Made When I Started Using Webflow (And Still Make Sometimes)
1 Article, 1 Podcast, 3 Inspo Websites & 3 Webflow Jobs. Let's go!
Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack.
A fellow Webflower, a bloke called Harry, just started Webflowing and wants to join a Webflow agency. He’s been rejected from a few agency jobs because of his lack of Webflow experience so he messaged me for some advice.
‘How am I meant to get Webflow experience without getting a webflow job?’ he lamented to me.
But do you really need a Webflow job to get Webflow experience?
The answer is, of course, no! Of course not!
The great Chris Do says something along the lines of:
To get the work you want to receive, you must show the work you want to make
Want to make websites for NFT companies? Make one up or redesign one that already exists but you think could be improved.
Want to make websites for dog charities? Make one up or redesign one that already exists but you think could be improved.
You get my point.
Also, it’s likely that when you start out with Webflow and apply to agencies, you may get more rejections at this point than you will ever have in your Webflow career.
Basically, it’s hardest at the start. So all you have to do is keep going! Don’t be disheartened by rejection. Just show them what they’re missing out on by making epic work.
If you’re like Harry, crack on.

Not compressing Images, not having a build system, not utilising symbols, overdoing Animations - you name it, I’ve fucked it up.
Luckily, you don’t have to make all the mistakes I made.

The Power Of Connecting With The Webflow Community | With Matt Evans
For episode 15, my Webflail guest is Matt Evans, Webflow Developer & UI Designer for 8020, a global no-code agency. Before this, Matt ran a subscription based coffee company and then blagged his way in to a project manager role in advertising. Fascinating story in to Webflow.
The three failures Matt talks about in this episode are:
1) Failing to appreciate that DONE is almost always better than PERFECT.
2) Failing to appoint "admin experts".
3) Failing to make time to speak with other professionals in the Webflow world.
Great episode this one!
