What I Learned Building My First Webflow Project as a Developer


Coming from a Next + Tailwind background, I wanted to explore the power of no-code tools.
So, I built this:
🔗 Social Flow Lab, my first Webflow site, created without writing a single line of code
Focus Points:
Layout & structure
Visual hierarchy
CTA placements
Built natively in Webflow
Takeaways for Devs:
Your logic & design experience carry over
Webflow isn't just for designers; it's fast, structured, and surprisingly powerful
It doesn’t replace code, but it speeds up mockups and MVPs
Final Thought:
This is just the beginning. I’ll be documenting more about how no-code and dev workflows can intersect.
Let’s connect if you’re exploring the same.
