I don't open Webflow when I receive a Figma design.
Before building, I review the design system: typography, colors, spacing, components, and breakpoints. This defines how the site should be structured, not just how it looks.
Next, I assess feasibility: Webflow limitations, custom functionality, and CMS needs.
I look for gaps early—missing states, unclear mobile behavior, undocumented interactions, and expected CMS content volume. These are easier to solve before building.
My process starts with the design system: style guide, variables, and reusable components. CMS comes before templates. Desktop first, responsive after. Then interactions, custom work, QA, and optimization.
My design background helps. I’m not just building the design—I’m preserving the intent behind it.

I worked on the Dream Seven Paris website for a few months. I did both the design in Figma and the development in Webflow. It was a long journey with a lot of details, but I really love the result.
looks good
I’ve been seeing more and more projects asking for Framer lately, and a lot of designers are building some really stunning sites with it.
About 4 years ago I started learning Webflow, and since then I’ve stuck with it. Over the years many website builders popped up, but Webflow always felt like the most powerful option for building production-ready websites.
But lately… Framer looks really promising.
It almost feels like Figma and a website builder combined in one tool. The interface is very design-first and allows fast prototyping, real-time collaboration, and smooth animations directly in the canvas.
I’m curious what everyone here thinks.
Is Framer really better, or just the new shiny tool right now?
What are you using these days and why?

Amazing design!
