Design and build your agency website, part 1: Laying the foundations

Webflow offers a powerful and user-friendly platform for designing and building agency websites, even for those without coding skills. Unlike traditional WYSIWYG editors or cumbersome design tools, Webflow provides a visual interface that exposes all CSS attributes, allowing users to create clean and efficient code. The platform is ideal for designers who want to maintain control over their projects without relying on developers, as well as for developers seeking a faster and more reliable alternative to existing frameworks. The blog post series guides users through the process of building a site with Webflow, covering key aspects such as creating a CMS, using design systems, implementing responsive design with flexbox, and integrating APIs, while emphasizing the importance of starting with a baseline design to streamline the creative process. The author shares personal insights and strategies, highlighting the benefits of defining default styles and creating a style guide to ensure consistency and efficiency, particularly when working with larger teams or evolving projects.
