And here we come to the heart of the matter; although Webflow does seem like a golden bullet solution to the design vs. front-end issue, it only is to a certain degree.
Tools like Webflow are enough to create simple landing pages without complicated features; You don't need to know HTML or CSS basics to make a simple website for yourself, friends, or a local pizza place.
However, if you want to create a commercial website with advanced objects and non-standard properties that more than one person will use daily, Webflow alone isn’t enough.
When working commercially, you need to know how the website and objects behave and what dependencies exist between them. You don't necessarily need to know how to program, but you definitely need to understand the basic logic of the code to know what is possible to reproduce when you’re designing.
It's about basic HTML and CSS issues such as knowledge of operators, font styling, or rules for scaling photos in closed containers.
If you learn this, you will save yourself and the programmer time and nerves, and above all, you will stand out from the 95% of designers who don’t understand those issues and are a pain for developers.
And, as a cherry on top, you will grab the most exciting and profitable projects on the market. And trust me on this one because this is exactly what we’re doing in OG. 🙂
