Jack Freelancer

Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack.

I'm currently watching surfers get munched in Caribbean waves. The sea is choppier than Gordon Ramsey preparing vegetables. These surfers don't give up though - they just ride the lows and enjoy the highs (do surfers say that?). At the start, the waves overwhelm some of them but the longer they get used to them, the more they know how to ride them. Similar to freelancing me thinks.

More on that in today's article.

10 best free resources to learn Webflow

This is one of the questions I get asked most of all. What's are the best resources to learn Webflow and, particularly, what are the best free ones?

I am always nervous to give hard and fast advice about this because as the answer so often is for so many questions, it depends. Being a Webflower (ie. someone that does Webflow) means you not only know how to build websites using Webflow but how to build them so that they are efficient, fast and effective for your client to realise their goals. To do that, it often includes a breadth of skills and knowledge about design, development.

Are you wanting to design and develop websites? Are you coming at Webflow from a background in marketing, for example? Are you wanting to just have a general grasp of Webflow so you can decide your path? Are you particularly interested in motion and animation with Webflow websites?

Silvia is the founder of Slam Media Lab, a Webflow, brand and SEO agency. Since the pandemic, she has now grown the agency into a $2M business. The agency works with mission-driven organizations, from non-profits to social impact VC firms, and universities.

The failures that we will talk about today are:

1. Positioning and winning big deals
2. Branding beyond Webflow
3. Reduced scopes just to win the deals, sacrificing our process
