In 2023, a full-day workshop titled “Webflow from the Ground Up” took place at Brno's Impact Hub. It was held as part of the Brno Bold conference and was led by our lead web designer, Tomáš Návrata.
The majority of participants were web designers who often encounter issues with the quality of websites that result from their designs. With Webflow, designers gain access to an excellent tool that provides them with 100% control over the final output and liberates them from dependence on developers.
One Day with Webflow
During the morning introduction, Tomáš discussed the pros and cons of other contemporary no-code tools. Some participants already had experience with WordPress (or Elementor), and others with Squarespace, Wix, or Solidpixels.
The next part focused on the fundamentals of HTML and CSS. While Webflow is "no-code," meaning you don't need to write code yourself, understanding the structure of a website is crucial for assembling and configuring it correctly.
Tomáš also presented several web projects we've worked on at Semibold, explaining how we approached them, structured them, and how our clients use and manage their websites today.
After a group lunch, students took control of the Brno Bold web conference and tried designing a website by following a pre-prepared design in Figma. They learned how to transfer it to Webflow and launch a functional website.
We also covered topics such as
- responsive web design
- animations and interactions
- SEO optimization
- form usage
- technical project settings
- domain linking and hosting setup
At the end of the workshop, all participants received a checklist to assist them in launching their next website and a list of useful resources for further development in Webflow.
Workshops – Not Just for Designers
Similar events organized by us are not always exclusively for designers. At the conclusion of web projects, we often hold workshops to teach the client's team how to work with the CMS (content management system).
And for those of you who want to dive deeper into Webflow, we can arrange more comprehensive training sessions that will enable you to take complete control of your website.
