Webflow CMS or a headless CMS like Sanity or Contentful?
Webflow CMS fits when:
→ The content lives on one website
→ Your marketing team wants to edit visually
→ You don't want another service to maintain
Headless fits when:
→ The same content feeds a website, an app and other channels
→ You need structured content, custom workflows or many locales
→ You have developers to build and maintain the front end
Check the plan limits either way. CMS item limits are often the first thing a growing team hits.
What's your content stack right now?
Clean decision framework. The plan limits note is the most overlooked part, since teams discover CMS item ceilings way too late, usually mid migration. The one-website test for Webflow is honest too. Have you ever had a client outgrow Webflow CMS mid project and need the headless jump?
The warning signs usually show up before the build, so I ask about item counts and content growth in the first call. When a team gets close to the ceiling, splitting collections or moving the heaviest content to a headless source often buys time before a full rebuild.

This is the kind of work I want to do more of.
A strong visual direction and plenty of room to get creative with the development. Built in Webflow, animated with GSAP.
Here’s a look around.
Outstanding Work❤️
Just completed this Webflow website project for Skin Engineering, a specialist skin and laser clinic in London.
The goal was to make the site feel premium and calming while still clearly explaining the treatments, practitioner expertise, pricing, and consultation process.
I focused on clean treatment discovery, strong trust signals, responsive design, and a simple booking journey that helps visitors move from researching a concern to feeling confident enough to book.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, does the website feel like the right balance between clinical credibility and a premium beauty experience?

Introducing Nexus Analytics, a self-directed SaaS website concept bringing custom branding and CMS-driven Webflow development together.
I transformed Atelier Axiom, a cultural-platform project from Flux Academy’s “Scaling Up / Big Websites” class, into a marketing website for an e-commerce analytics brand.
My work included:
• Custom brand identity and logo design.
• SaaS-focused messaging and visual direction.
• Adapted CMS content for resources, events, and company information.
• Responsive layouts and product imagery.
• A transparent-to-solid navbar transition.
The goal was to go beyond changing colors and content to create a cohesive experience for a completely different audience and product story.
Built with Webflow, Figma, and Adobe Illustrator. Final testing and remaining section interactions are in progress.
The transparent-to-solid navbar transition is such a nice detail, Michael. Transforming Atelier Axiom beyond colors and content into a cohesive SaaS experience for a completely different audience is exactly what separates a rebrand from a real redesign.
