Great video Maddie. Def earned a subscriber. Webflow has definitely been something I’ve been thinking about learning for many of the reason you mention in this video
@@studiomadz Following up here. Do you do any Weflow consultation or would you be open to it? Something packaged or for time? I'm looking to continue learning it but sometimes it is much easier to ask direct questions on real projects to speed up the grasp
@@ryanjtolbert I've thought about offering it before but would love to test it out if you're needing more specific help! Shoot me an email with what you're needing & where you're getting stuck and we can figure out the best way to package it. maddie@studiomadz.com
You are so talented!! This video is so clear and helpful. I've been in the mist of website design research and been stuck on this for the past few weeks. Your video is a game changer and has made my life so much easier now. Webflow all the way! Thank you for sharing your experience and making such an amazing video. You rock.
Exceptional angles of presentation I didnot know about webflow. Currently assessing WF, this video helped me a lot and it was delightful to listen to. Thanks Maddie !
Lots of great points to consider here, thank you!! Wanted to see if you could clarify, are there situations where Squarespace actually might be the best fit for a client? Also, how does pricing work for Webflow from the client perspective... what will their ongoing cost be? If they want to use bluehost to host their site and it's built on Webflow, is that an option? Again, awesome video, thank you!! :D
Yes! My clients all pay for their own hosting via something like bluehost or godaddy. Then I build the site on Webflow, transfer it over to their account, and they are in charge of their monthly Webflow payments. It will vary depending on their features. Yes, there are situations where Squarespace would be a better fit. If they are already comfortable with the platform and want to stay. If they have a ton of content already over there and don't have the budget to make the switch (exporting can be tricky with Sqspace). Or if they want something that feels as manageable as possible for them to edit on their own, more than creative design/layout. All about what they value in the process and in their website in general.
Girl, this was SO good and exactly what I needed to see. You are extremely clear, relatable and know your shit. I'm so glad I stumbled onto your video today, I will be TH-cam stalking you now! 😂 I have a tiny bit of experience with Webflow and have been checking out all the different platforms. You just made my platform choice for me. Thanks for sharing!
Your video is motivating me to learn Webflow and build my own website. I'm a business founder without tech skills, I spent a lot of money on different web developers, but I couldn't get the satisfaction I wanted. Thank you very much Maddie!
I will agree with you 100% about the power of webflow. I have built $15k (yup... 3 zeros) sites with Webflow. There are some problems with it from developer standpoints... Memberships as Logic have been major disappointments. Hosting is expensive and not scaleable for people like me who also want to charge clients for hosting sites (with a service guarantee thrown in)... But there are some great stack services out there that can really help dial in your service provision and SEO performance of the site. But overall, I come from a hand coded website background to a visual builder with Webflow who can turn around sites very quickly. Your video was refreshing, fair and insightful. Thank you! New sub!
Yep, totally agree with you that Memberships and Logic haven't been helpful for me yet. Thankfully there are enough third party tools that get the job done in the instances where its needed. And for me, usually clients that are wanting custom solutions in the first place are fine with the added monthly subscriptions as they've built up a bit of an audience already. So glad you found it refreshing. That's my goal. Thanks for the kind words.
@@studiomadzWebflow APPS will change everything, but it won't curb the nickle-n-dime problem. Every plugin adds monthly cost. sigh. It's an expensive platform, but still the best to use in my opinion.
this was so valuable to me! I am currently trying to figure out which tool to use, because I want to step into webdesign for my own website and after that the ones of my clients and it makes so much sense now to invest time, energy and money into webflow 😊
I'm in :) I love your vibe and I definitely want to learn with you! I've been a web developer/designer for more than 20 years now. I started to develop custom websites when wordpress wasn't even a thing lol I'm a dinosaure of the industry lol But I'm tired of wordpress, I want to move to something more flexible visually, so I took all the lessons from Webflow University and pass the 3 exams, yay I'm certified. BUT I need to practice and I set out for myself to create my own redesign site on Webflow before the end of this year, let's see how that goes LOL Your videos are definitely motivating, thank you :)
haha idk about a dinosaur, but it does sound like you'll have a TON of useful knowledge to take into Webflow to hit the ground running. Excited to hear what you think of it. Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the content! Do you have a Webflow course?… I already went through Webflow Uni but looking for something that can teach best practices and workflows, etc.
Hello Maddie, I really like your pitch in this video. I am developing a private practice and i have not found examples of videos with people discussing the use of booking services, form building, and SOAP Notes with webflow. is this something you have designed for? Thanks!
Hey Maddie! How are you, I just found your channel. Have you stop making videos? I want to be a brand and web designer like you. I genuinely want to help people and their business while making money. I was thinking of starting with Squarespace but now you’re kinda changing my mind. I have no code or design skills
Hey there! Haha fair question, but more videos are on the way I promise. That's awesome you want to dive into brand & web. Its a super rewarding career. If you've never built a website before, I do think there is value in starting with more of a DIY tool (like Squarespace or Wix) just to understand some basics of web design, responsiveness, design principles, etc. and be able to start creating sooner. You may outgrow it quickly and then feel ready for a truly custom option like Webflow. Totally depends on your goals and where you are starting from.
@@studiomadz Thank you so much for the advice Maddie. I will start with the DIY stuff like you suggest. Can’t wait for your videos on brand and web design
“No desire to learn” and you bring people to webflow? Come on. Plus, Webflow definitely needs you to know and understand code even though you don’t use it. When clients don’t have time to learn, and want a quick website, Webflow is their worst enemy. When you change something on webflow, the whole site changes. Squarespace is the literal opposite. I do like Webflow a lot and for many reasons but your arguments are misleading.
Definitely understand your POV, and you're right, it isn't the right fit for every client. But in my experience, it's all about how you build the site, and more importantly, how you teach it to them. My clients typically come from Squarespace and are looking for elevation in their website's creativity and functionality while also maintaining editability of the content & components on their site. And they've been super happy with the switch :)

Totally get it, Caroline! I'm curious what fell short in the web development process for you?

I'm so glad you found this helpful. Definitely not an easy decision to make but I stand behind Webflow fully. You've got this!
The problem with Webflow, and Showit are that you have to convince the customers to switch and pay to Webflow, Showit, etc.

I'm so glad you found it helpful Kayla! Next video coming soon :)
@@studiomadz just wanted to let you know that I'm really excited for your next video! You got this girl!
Hello Maddie, I really like your pitch in this video. I am developing a private practice and i have not found examples of videos with people discussing the use of booking services, form building, and SOAP Notes with webflow. is this something you have designed for? Thanks!
great video! Now I now for sure that I will keep focusing on Webflow :)
I'm so glad! Years later and I don't regret it one bit.
One more question, lol... is there any reason someone would still use Showit for a client instead of Webflow?

Thanks for the insight! Subscribed!
But changing one thing like a background video or a page in webflow and I'm stuck for an hour lol.
Its a learning curve for sure. But once you get the hang of it then things start moving way faster. It def takes practice & patience.
“No desire to learn” and you bring people to webflow? Come on.
Plus, Webflow definitely needs you to know and understand code even though you don’t use it.
When clients don’t have time to learn, and want a quick website, Webflow is their worst enemy.

Squarespace is the literal opposite.
I do like Webflow a lot and for many reasons but your arguments are misleading.
Webflow is great for designers, not clients.
Definitely understand your POV, and you're right, it isn't the right fit for every client. But in my experience, it's all about how you build the site, and more importantly, how you teach it to them.

Can you please post more on here? Your videos are SO valuable. 🤍
Yes! Haha 2024 is gonna be my content year. Got a few uploads in the works for this month.
