Just want a place to chat, share and meet. Everything is about social bragging or having to checkout the latest AI achievement. It’s exhausting. Going to give this another try.
Variable modes now out for webflow. This means we can finally do responsive text sizes through variables. Also you can create custom modes for use in say light and dark mode. So many possibilities. Hopefully modes as props will come soon for components. #webflow #webdesign
I miss Skeuomorphism. was a big of
Mikael Eidenberg back in the day. I live tactile feeling design that has texture and the feeling you can reach out and grab it.
There are a few principles were guided by when it comes to platform design.
1. Never drill down through navigation but bubble content to the surface when the use calls.
2. Remove noise only surface what is needed at onetime. As focus changes remove previous views.
3. Have clear purposeful zones
Goals for 2025.
Create more content which can help teams:
Storytell through value proposition to engage customers and convert like crazy.
Increase awareness of Webflow in the UK and dispel misconceptions.
Techniques to get past the tension of creating content and leveraging branding .
Organisers would vet the budget and maybe someone can mentor and provide guidance. What do we think? Any flaws in the idea?
Collaborate in groups on the projects running over a few days with the goal that the business walks away with a team to continue all paid.
Have guests with high experience walk through approach showcasing to those wanting to learn.
Invite businesses who are looking for a service and live scope a project. Walk through needs & expectations, what the goals are.
The final 3D animation turned out fantastic. Exported into After Effects then out to Lottie as a png sequence and controlled by webflow.
Wavelr website concept
Planning out the story for interactivity doesn’t need to be a work of art, just get across the principle idea. Wireframes don’t really add much value but a rough sketch is worth its weight.
All of our branding starts with words, we gather all internal collateral and find common words. From there we extract the sentiment, building the foundation for the story.
By using the existing material we don’t reinvent the story but reform making it more organic and reduce friction to adoption.
Was looking back a some of photography shoots we did in the past. Always so much fun, planning and sketching the idea, the team doing make up. With AI we wonder how much we’ll be able to do this in the future?
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you’re all having a great time with family and loved ones. To our #webflow friends thank you for an incredible year love you all immensely.
No work this week, it’s time to focus on family and taking time to be with those people who matter and reflect on all of the things we’re grateful for.
Might be pulling out the board games tomorrow for an uncompetitive game of cluedo then if we survive trivial pursuit.
It’s coming along, lots of styling still to do but now with map and wayfinding and a node system which needs work, it’s rendering in the canvas so styling is tricky. #webflow #interface #futuristic
Each of these stages requires thought behind the content and where you direct them.
The first is to sell the value prop and pitch. The second is to prove and show evidence.
The last is simple do we save you money and/or make you money.
Understanding this flow helps to define content strategy.
Hope this is helpful to someone. When building any b2b website we first try to understand the sales cycle.
Stage 1: first print, that person looking for a solution on hehalf of the company/directors.
Stage 2: second pass. The validation team so tech team, cto
Stage 3: CEO approval
Memories of designing this funky brand and app, the shop which was video shopping for independent product companies. Created as a platform/tool to build on influence.

Some more healthcare brand work. This time for remote patient monitoring in a the US. Based in NY.
Defiantly on it. Going to do something soonish.
So @fry.design was spot on. They’re describing an offering with a mild benefit hint. What is better is Value proposition, tell them the actual outcomes as either monetary, perception or retention to the business, team or customer.
Yeah 100% @chrisabra.co did a solid job of pointing out poor structure.
This is the closest one yet. 100% the message doesn’t say what the actual outcome is to the business, staff or customers. Simply saying streamline operations doesn’t mean anything. What is better is “We reduce operational cost while allowing your team to focus on delivering increased revenue. boom”
More on the futuristic interface in Webflow. Modelled in blender then imported to spline added materials and animated. More to do lots of little details to add then make it all functional. Maps are coming.
100% we had this discussion with a client and got deep on the power of words.
Definitely better structure to this and easier to read. So many good suggestions so far. It’s so interesting to see everyone’s take.
Almost there. There is definitely a vagueness about the message btw this actually marketing message from a real client competitor website.
