Iโ€™ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

Poor CMS structure. Unnecessary interactions. Messy class naming. Slow animations. Non responsive sections. Hard to maintain components. And sometimesโ€ฆ a website that looks great but does absolutely nothing for conversions.
For me, a good Webflow build starts with the structure, not the animation.
I like thinking about:

The goal isnโ€™t to make Webflow โ€œlook like the design.โ€
The goal is to turn the design into a scalable, responsive and maintainable website that actually works.
Thatโ€™s the part of Webflow development I enjoy most.
Iโ€™m curious to hear from other Webflow designers and developers here:
Whatโ€™s one Webflow mistake you see repeatedly in client projects?
Could be technical, design related, CMS related, or even something clients commonly ask for.
Letโ€™s compare notes ๐Ÿ‘‡
