@@DarioVillirilli Well, every platform has its downsides. Webflow is very designer-friendly but has limitations, too. Ecommerce is not as feature-rich as some competitors, multilingual websites are a huge handicap, it lacks some flexibility for custom code or design. There are probably more. It's always a tradeoff. WordPress has its advantages (super-flexible, plethora of plugins) and its disadvantages (bloated code with themes and plugins, security issues). And the same goes for any other platform, be it Drupal, static site generators, or just writing the code yourself. I think it's good to be aware of the limitations and understand that each project requires a thoughtful approach when it comes to choosing the right platform.
@@bartderuyck woah that was an awesome answer. Thanks for sharing your perspective. It doesn't concern me specifically but it's good to be aware of it.
@@bartderuyck That was some great Info. If you don't mind, could you name some websites/ services you could recommend & are worth to check out (maybe even why - if you got a spare minute)? You seem quite knowledgable in this field, and I'd gladly take your advice, as I just got started in this industry! Thanks in advance, Mr Ruyck! :)
Obviously a good web designer, but you sir have a gift for teaching as well. The 'boxes within boxes' explanation was the most concise description of web design as a whole I've ever heard. Kudos!
Awesome as usual! I'm a web developer and an designer and know these things quite well but still your explanation and teaching leaves me speechless everytime. Wish I had an awesome teacher like you when I was learning design and development!
alot of people in webflow use pixels to give certain objects size propertys, but the problem here is that on differend screen resolutions, pixel size defined objects appear smaller/bigger, so you actually need to define parent boxes with viewport height and viewport width, and child elements with percentage. That way you keep content responsive.
@@thepinwale the best way I've came up with it is downloading the chrome extension finsweet, it enables a few extra options in webflow, one of them beeing a REM-calculation tool that re-scales the REM sizing unit automatically depending on the breakpoint you view the project from. This way you define font sizes always in REM and the CSS calculation will automatically resize it to the desired format. If you're a non-coder this can take a few hours to become comfortable with, but once you get the hang if it you can adjust responsive designs in seconds for every breakpoint. I transitioned to defining everything in REM, besides global parent containers that inherit the body ofc.
I'm upskilling by learning Webflow and your tutorial is a great introduction without getting bogged down by minute details. You've even given me some ideas on how to design my protfolio. Cheers!
I already know the html and css and after watching this video, I am able to make my portfolio using web flow .. Thanks a lot.. You are a great teacher.. God bless you
I have been making website for 10 years, and found this video very inspiring. Not only you can do all the things we normally do visually, but it also can do things really quick. Which means it gives more time to do other creative stuff.
As someone who started coding using Visual Studio, I have to say, Webflow looks so much easier to use since I am not planning on being a web developer. I just want it for personal use. This is great! Thank you!
I just finished watching and doing this tutorial and created and my first website in 16 mins! Had a lot of trial and error because I was having some weird things happen so I just kept pressing Ctrl-Z and rewound the video over and over and finally got it! Super awesome! A somewhat complicated tool to use but I did it! Looking to get into the Webflow Masterclass after watching this brief tutorial!
Exellent Ran! Starting to build my personal photography website, exactly the basics to get me started. Hopefully I will become familiar enough with the webflow tool to take your master class. COVID has forced me to seek a home-based business right about the time I was getting the retire within 2 years... Your timing is impeccable, thanks again!
Thanks a lot bro for saving me! I have webflow dev interview today and I reacted what the heck is webflow?? Your video gave me an idea and made me realize that my entire Html,css clases are waste!! DAAm ! this webflow is timesaver!!
I have recently entered the digital marketing world and web designing is something that I am more focused on because of the excitement I feel while designing a webpage. Designing using webflow is a totally new topic to me and starting this topic with your video is definitely a boost for learning more of designing skills. Thank you so much for this amazing video. I hope to learn a lot from your channel and enhance my skills like yours. Respect 🔥
Watched this tutorial for 1 issue that I have: repositioning a picture. And boom, his picture positions itself. God damn it. I'm just a beginner, don't blame me. Haha Great tutorial btw!
Amazing video. Planning to make my own portfolio website using webflow and this video helps me alot. I was confusingly clicking on everything and now that I watch this video, I have a better understanding on what to do. Thank you!
From what I understand, If you have some knowledge of HTML/CSS it makes it more easy to understand what those words mean in more details, thank you for this amazing tutorial!
wow your opening simplified some things very quickly. I'm designing my own website for the first time. I've watched a few other videos of yours, which has convinced me to use Webflow as I've been discovering the best website builders to use for a number of days now. I think I'm going to be watching a lot of your videos over the next few days and possibly weeks to get combatable with it.
This is absolutely brilliant ... WOW! that is fast :) As I only used the Adobe Illustrator, I am trying to learn this Webflow as a friend of mine asked be to build a new website for them as they use Webflow ... Thanks a million for this introduction
This is such a too the point video - explains what webflow is, shows how to build a quick design and tailored in such a way that a newbie with no experience could understand! 😮 I had to subscribe.
Thank you so much! Very Helpful! I was having such a hard time trying to figure out webflow and your videos have made it so easy to learn the basics. Thanks Ran! Best of luck
Why is your channel so amazing? Why are you so amazing Ran?? I mean I literally have no words than Love your channel and content. I mean i just dont have any words. Ran really you are so amazing i cant stress this enough. Your channel is helping designers who are not that great in their financial background, students who cant go to online schools or offline wher heavy fee is demanded. For students like those your content is Bible. Thanks man.
Amazing! The only two things would make this even more more perfect: How to keep building in a scroll, and how this will look on mobile + how to edit that one. But regardless, one of the best Webflow introduction videos I've seen. Thank you
Love this comment because this is exactly what clients forget, all the time off screen thinking about the design and all the research that goes in to their project
@@vesakoskelainen fun fact: he didn’t say it takes 16 hours to become a good designer, he said he does 16 hours of research prior to beginning to design
Im a developer and i just discovered webflow (based on your vids also lol). Now im sooo pissed that i dont discover it sooner. This page would take me a day to code from scratch :')
Learned Html and CSS for a few months now, so I'm quite familiar with some of the functions mentioned. This is the first time I knew about webflow and wow, it's like Photoshop exclusively for web design.
Nice tut Ran!! I like this. I still haven't pulled the trigger on Webflow, checking some things out before I do, but this shows how powerful WF is and how creative you can get with it. Thank you!
Wow...This was a really helpful and informative tutorial. A great way to make the app feel accessible for someone who hasn't ever worked on web. I love the box model explanation... and then following up with DIVs and the GRID container. Thanks! Gonna watch more. :)
I just learned how to use Webflow in 16 minutes... For real, I just began working on Webflow to experiment and this totally works!
Yey!! Success 💪
Ye❤ same here@@FluxAcademy
The 30-second box model explanation was rad. Breaks it down and takes the mystery that tends to over-complicate web basics.
Appreciate it 🙏
@@FluxAcademy loved your box model explaination!!!
yes
Say what you want about Webflow but seeing something like this come together in just 16 minutes is simply amazing. Great little showcase, Ran!
What are the criticisms about Webflow? So far I can only see the positive.

@@bartderuyck Can you take your code out after the initial design?
Obviously a good web designer, but you sir have a gift for teaching as well.
The 'boxes within boxes' explanation was the most concise description of web design as a whole I've ever heard.

dude, thats like the most used explanation lmao
Awesome as usual!
I'm a web developer and an designer and know these things quite well but still your explanation and teaching leaves me speechless everytime.
Wish I had an awesome teacher like you when I was learning design and development!
Thanks for the kind words!
Do you still do web design?
@@saylormilan6693 I do if you still need help
Been using a few website builders but still searching for 'the one'. Anyone tried Kraft Builder? Heard it's great for pros."

What the best way to make the font size responsive as well?

16 minutes and this is by far my favorite tutorial so far! Thanks so much or putting this together Flux! Just what I needed as a first time WF user!
This is by far the shortest tutorial I have ever seen with precise and amazing impact.
yes
This is the best video on UA-cam about learning a skill , like bro thanks so much ! A person who actually understands what it is to not be slow
Glad you liked it!
So clear, so fast but not too fast to comprehend. Just fantastic.

With 10 YOE it should take you almost the same amount of time and make it responsive.
Best 16min tutorial I have ever seen on web design or webapps.
This was super useful and consice. Thank you!!

Am I the only one who really loves the colors of the bottle Ran has?😂🤩

Bro after tearing my hair sorting through lines of css and html, this brought tears of joy to my eyes.
Nice brother. Your videos are helping me get better at web design!
Let it be known that THIS was the video that convinced me to use webflow!
One of my favorite channels on UA-cam. BIG SHOUT OUT TO FLUX!!!!
Squarespace could never. It's so limiting. I really appreciate the creative freedom Webflow allows.
Just watched this video to get a taster of Webflow and it was such a great introduction. Thanks!
My first Web flow tutorial , easily understandable !
Great quick video for basics! Btw I loooove the CLS!
Fun Fact: You need 16 hours of research before you start designing 😀
Thanks for the 500+ votes ✅
lolol
Haha no u dont lol

It took me more time finding images than staying with tutorial.
Come One man Share a drive link or something in description.
Loved the tutorial.
Many years ago I failed at making websites using Dreamweaver. This seems more logical, thanks for the video.
Im a developer and i just discovered webflow (based on your vids also lol). Now im sooo pissed that i dont discover it sooner. This page would take me a day to code from scratch :')
Check out Bootstrap Studio, they charge you for a one-time payment instead of monthly like Webflow.
Noob
Learned Html and CSS for a few months now, so I'm quite familiar with some of the functions mentioned. This is the first time I knew about webflow and wow, it's like Photoshop exclusively for web design.
I'm familiar with HTML and CSS, and have used both so this is fun for me.
So glad I came across this! An apprenticeship I’m doing uses Webflow and this is helpful.
We need more videos like this one to explain a tool. Wanted a quick intro to Webflow, this video nails it. Thanks!
I'm trying to learn web development and designing I'm a beginner and I think I'm gona go along with this channel for web designing
