You can learn it in 15 minutes, what takes longer is to figure out why your projects get messed up entirely out of nowhere, now this is called experience.
This is just an amazing tutorial.... I can't tell you how effective this was on me - simple and explains EVERYTHING. 45mins of my life spent on an amazing tutorial.
Great video. Before starting with Webflow I recommend people take a course on CSS to understand the concepts of positioning and layout. Those two concepts took awhile for me to grasp. Once you have that down Webflow becomes easier to learn.
I am a scientist, turned a teacher and tutor. I am a Web Design novice who has created and maintained two small business sites with another tool. Thank you for this great intro to Webflow!
I've been so frustrated for the past two days, working with another builder it was hindering my creativity. I prayed and God led me to this video. I stayed away from webflow because I'm in the beginning stages of web design but I know what I want my layouts to look like. This video has been so beneficial to me. I literally just put my son to sleep and am exhausted but found myself filled with excitement. This is exactly what I needed to let my creative juices flow. Thank God for you guys. I so appreciate your channel.
Finally, a video that actually teaches you Webflow. I wish I found this earlier still on this course learning to use figma before I go into Webflow. Thank you so much Payton! Love this Video
@@PaytonClarkSmith lol, yeah like the client really cares about how you created the site. Oh no, not Webflow, that's for retards! Build my site from scratch!! I want you to impress my friends!
As a professional developer I can say Webflow is the most transparent interface between you and your website code. Webflow outputs standardize website code (HTML, CSS, Javascript) with an interface that directly represents that code with no extra conceptual models between you and the output code. The conceptual models it does use, like sections, containers, and divs, etc come directly from the existing conventions that web developers already use themselves when coding by hand. In other words, it's an interface that is the closest tool I have seen that outputs the kind of web code a developer would do by hand, but you don't need to know code to make it work. If you do know how to code websites by hand it's the tool you have been waiting for your whole life because it's a great way of organizing an interface to help you code more quickly and in a more organized way.
That's a pretty impressive testimonial! I use Thrive Architect and have been trying to see what's worth changing tool for. I kept thinking, yeah well you can do that in Thrive. But I'm starting to see some advantages.
Great Video, thank you Payton. From your experience, how does Webflow compare to WordPress? is there much maintenance that you have to do on your Webflow site? any additional add-on or plugin you need to worry about ... that if get updated could break your site?
I wish I found this video 1 week ago. Now I know so if this 😭 But I learned one new thing, which is background overlay. I solved my issue by putting a different div block on top. Thank you for the tip!
Very informative and helpful tutorial. Please share more details about linking database to the webflow and how the text is uploaded? Is it from the excel file?
liked it before even watching the video! thanks payton! always quality content as a beginner with Webflow even after paying for classes I'm still dumbfounded by it all
Malcom you are too kind! I still have a lot to learn about Webflow still but it has been the greatest asset for my business! Hope this video does it justice!
Hi, great tutorial Payton. Quick question mate, If you have the basic plan with the 2 free workspaces, once you set up a site plan and the site goes live can you delete that site from your workspace to free up another space. (hope that makes sense) Pete
Thank you for this tutorial! I just started with webflow today and learning about this. You keep on clicking on tools at the lower left hand corner that I don't have like "guides" and everything else. Does anyone know how to get these?
Actually, if I wanted more templates I'd stick with WP, lol. This is what I need, real free flowing design material. Thank you Payton, please keep these free flowing, ex. the iphone website, coming by making this type of tutorial.
Thank you so much! After watching so many videos on the topic, found this one very helpful and gave me a good understanding how the boxing method works
Question; How do you get this website up into public domain, is the contact form functional, or do you have to import or export all the code to a different program to publish, is there animations to use? Thanks for your reply I don't expect one similar to most channels that are big, But nice tut.
@@PaytonClarkSmith thanks to you buddy for sharing these things. These are some really basic things which irritated me a lot when I started making my first website. Learnt a lot from your video. Please keep making such videos of further features. Thanks
Hello Mr Smith. I have enjoyed your tutorial on webflow here. I have one small doubt if you could help me with, i would appreciate it. How do you decide the element size?? Like when do you go with the min/max or just the normal width/height? Thanks! Keep up the good work!
I tried Divi for a month before and it's messy when you're doing responsive layouts coming from Desktop to Mobile. I have been using Elementor for the past month. It's just as frustrating as Divi when it comes to doing the responsive layout. I could be spending two days figuring out how something on Elementor and not finding any solution. I now realize that I cannot ever use Divi and Elementor again and ready to switch. How is Webflow with responsive. Is it better than the Divi and Elementor? If so, what makes it respond well when doing responsive layout?
Thanks for the video Payton. How does Webflow measure up to WordPress? And do they offer multiple domain pricing for deals for agencies? otherwise, they will charge the designer $29 - $74/month for each e-commerce site and that's expensive compared to WordPress-based solutions. I can have blazing fast cloud hosting running 10 e-commerce websites for $80/month with these server configurations: RAM 8GB Processor 4 Core Storage 160GB Bandwidth 5TB.
I'm 3 weeks new to all this. How do I add all my backend C# code to this? Just open it in visual studio and add or? How does that work with event listeners etc ?
Hey Alexander, I was struggling with this too. He adjusted the div block's width and height to auto from the 100px by 100px originally shown. Hope this helps!
Only reason for me doubting using webflow for my online business is the costs. It's just too expensive if you ask me when you use it for ecommerce. I need it for subscriptions and when I need the integration for that I have around 110 dollars fixed costs per month without making a dime yet.
Thanks for a straight to the point practical video. All this can be achieved with HTML and CSS, but it is obvious to me that Webflow is a time saver. Is it possible to export the HTML/CSS files to program in javascript and turn the website into a web App? Or perhaps the platform allows to do it. I don't know. I haven't use Webflow yet.
i know this is a year late, but the answer is you can, but to be able to export the code you need one of the more expensive descriptions. dont know the current price
hey there! Thanks for the tutorial! I have a small problem though, when I change the Hero Section display to flex lays, it doesn't fill out the whole width anymore.. its just a long pole then.. does anybody know what I did wrong?
When I add in a nav bar, it automatically sticks to the middle of the landing page. I'm not sure why I can't adjust it to be at the top. It seems like the box is above the section and below the body.
hey Payton I need your help Can you give me some tip on being productive and focus on getting work done once the work load increase on me i started to feel that im spending most of my day doing busy work that getting me nowhere im not able to get anything meaningful done and every single day i regret so hard Please i need some serious advice fast
it was enough when ive less projects but now business is growing and im getting slow , stressed and not able to get anything meaningful done my to do list is only of 3 taks but still cant able to knock it
I went through this exact same thing about a year ago. So I can totally understand what you were feeling! For me, my biggest problem was trying to work on multiple projects in the same day and every time I switched between projects I was wasting time trying to get fully focused on that project. What I did instead is dedicate an entire day to just one project and would put everything else out of my mind. This way I wouldn’t get feeling overwhelmed and I would be able to just push through on one project and try to make as much progress as possible. In our line of work we have to make sure that the stress is from each individual project don’t stack up on us and then take away from our individual clients. We need to do our best to compartmentalize and treat each client like it’s the only one we have. The other thing that I did to become more productive is I spend most of Monday just doing A weekly planning session where I sit down and plan out my entire week and plan out each hour of each day of the week and determine which clients I will be working on and what parts of their project I will get done. This way I don’t have to wake up each morning and feel like I have 1 million things to do but not know where to start. I will have a very specific schedule and I know that if I can complete everything on the schedule I can feel accomplished for the day and rest easy at night. Hopefully these things can come in handy for you as well!
@@PaytonClarkSmith thank you so much and yes im in this phase where ive 4 running projects , 5 clients in pipeline and meeting , emails , revisions im these day spending pretty much all my time doing nothing and ik im capable of doing 10X more what im doing right now now ill dedicate all my day on 1 project at a time thank you so much again
That’s great that you are so busy! As long as you keep the most important tasks for the morning you can always work on the less important ones at the end of the day! Best of luck!
@@PaytonClarkSmith I mean that the visitor can subscribe, like and dislike videos, share videos, activate notificaion, comment ... etc. Can we do that in Webflow? Thanks in advance
I just looked at the website for webflow and already I don’t like it. The pricing seems nickel and dimed, confusing and slightly predatory. And once you’re locked into it they can jack up the price to whatever they feel like a la elementor.

i dont think ive seen such an informative 40 minute video in my life. This is amazing
Thanks for this video Payton! I've been using Wix but want to learn and transition to using Webflow. This tutorial was really great
Glad you found it helpful! I cane form Wix too and I am so glad I did!
hi i am using wix now and thinking whether to use webflow.
what made you decide to use webflow? is it worth the switch?
ACTUALLY very good information:
👍 No annoying background “music”
👍 No presenter head in the way
👍 No jibber jabber

Make sure when you are setting your flex settings that you are adding them to the section and not the container in the section
When I add in a nav bar, it automatically sticks to the middle of the landing page. I'm not sure why I can't adjust it to be at the top. It seems like the box is above the section and below the body.
go to the navigator to bring it up to body
Can you enable full screen for this?

can you build and publish your own website for free if you already have domain or you have to pay for one of the plans?

HOW TO MAKE THE WEBSITE RLT
I just looked at the website for webflow and already I don’t like it. The pricing seems nickel and dimed, confusing and slightly predatory. And once you’re locked into it they can jack up the price to whatever they feel like a la elementor.
Can you learn graphic design in 45:00?
Can you learn copy-writing in 45:00?
The idea that anyone can learn to do what requires a modicum of talent is just wrong.
But, I will say that WebFlow is a pretty nifty tool for someone with vision and talent.
That message seems to get lost somewhere. Eh?
