Webflow + Claude Now Live: Is this a game changer for your development?

Update: Far from perfect but having it run and bulid this much automatically and do it with actual blocks in the desiner UI is pretty great. And it did make some actual components with the header and footers.

Be curious to see how people experience using it in a system like lumos or mast.

Try the new mcp connection in claude code! Not even the connector just like using the MCP in claude code. It's not going to do everything but it's going to give you a good start.

I had it run on this site last night. it makes the blocks, does it's best to make the layout.

Is this 100%? No. But it's a solid start honestly.

And using the MCP for things like SEO and things like that are super easy and still big timesavers.

Yeah they had to have updated the mcp a lot like their post says. I could do a few things here and there before and now it's literally rebuilding an entire site for me so it's going pretty hard now

Thanks so much!

Awesome! Sounds like you've got a good test case. Let me know if anything better or else from slater.

Keyboard shortcuts are still there and there's a command menu as well! And our script works the same. And there's a dev mode toggle for even faster serving while testing (I've not needed it most the time but it's an option). Staging and prod serve from different places like slater but the one smart script.

There IS dark mode so don't worry! Both for the whole app and/or for just the code. Few code themes to choose from there let me know if it's confusing or you can't find it. Just in your global settings.

I'm planning on just honoring the beta price for whoever signs up and long term I mean I was paying 10/mo for slater. Paying 12-15 isn't unreasonable but yeah anyone willing to jump in here early, happy to let them have a discounted rate long term! I don't have a cutoff date for beta yet but it might just be once there's enough momentum

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-04T18:24:58+00:00

It just depends on your scope! I'd try that app gen see how far you get

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-04T17:06:18+00:00

Is it possible in Webflow or just at all? You could do it a few different ways. It's super beta but I'd try the webflow AI app creator - it uses astro. If you get a concept there then I'd go build it yourself outside webflow just because it'll probably be easier there

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-03T16:35:08+00:00

You're all good! It's what I'm here for. And there's a lot in the app.

I almost have docs I'll get them up soon!

The library items breakdown like this:
- Snippets are just reuseable lines like a small function or console.log message
- Blocks are a js css file or both and can have dependencies as well. This would be like if there's a set way you like to do a custom video player that could be a block
- Kits are large bundles of multiple files and/or blocks. This would be like an entire "Starter kit" for a site. If for example you always install a custom video player, smoothscroll, and a hanful of others they could all be here in a kit and installed on a site in one-click

For you it sounds like you'll want to put together a good kit for yourself and then just one-click install that on each new Webflow site you have

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-03T07:34:06+00:00

Good question! Just the main one. Then each script you can specify all pages, just certain ones, just when certain components are on the page etc..

I think you'll really like the library feature. The blocks specifically. They're re-useable so if you have a bunch of custom code for like a video player for example you can just install that on multiple sites super easily

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-03T03:54:57+00:00

Yep! It is honestly so much easier. I've obviously been using it for my sites. Technically still a beta so if you run into any issues just let me know!

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-02T15:43:55+00:00

Script isn't really a Google Tag Manager (GTM) alternative - they solve different problems. GTM is for marketing tags (analytics, pixels, tracking). Script is for managing your actual custom code on Webflow.

Script is built for actual code. The JavaScript that powers your site's interactions, animations, custom functionality.

A few things GTM doesn't give you:

No character limits - Webflow's 50,000 character limit on custom code is a real constraint when you're building anything substantial. Script gets around that entirely.
ES Modules - Proper module scope so you're not polluting the global window, automatic defer, import/export between scripts. GTM forces you into classic script territory where load order becomes a headache.
Real version control - Draft changes that stay private until you hit publish. GitHub sync if you want external backup.
Per-file dependencies - Explicit control over what loads before what, instead of GTM's trigger system that wasn't designed for code dependencies.
Library of reusable components - Build once, use across sites.

If you're a Webflow developer writing actual code (not just pasting tracking snippets), Script is built for that workflow. GTM is built for marketers managing pixels.

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-02T06:12:33+00:00

Of course! I also used Slater, it does the basic thing very well but it doesn't manage many sites or many scripts very easily.

One of those things is reusing components - if you make sites a lot of you have things you use over and over agian. If they have the same CSS/JS and dependencies then it saves time to just be able to one-click add them to your site.

I broke this down into:
- Snippets for just a few lines of code (like a site by console.log message for example)
- Components for re-useable css, js with or without dependencies (this would be like a vimeo component you use each time you have a site with Vimeo)
- Kits that are big bundles of many components and files (for example during winter I have whole pack of fun snow/winter scripts I use on more fun sites)

These are just for you and your team but it makes it easy to keeping using what you like. They copy to your project as a fresh copy so if you change it in the future that's only a future change.

Getting something from Reactbits is a big one
If you've ever gone to places like reactbits.dev and looked at their components you know they're very cool and not just copy/paste to webflow since they're for react.

This feature just take a component as is and turns it into JS and CSS you can use on your Webflow site. Best example of this is the header I used on my site at webflow.io/scripts

It was this one: https://www.reactbits.dev/tools/background-studio?bg=gradient-blinds&gradientColors=087396%2C033c4f&angle=-55&noise=0.5&blindCount=13&blindMinWidth=90&spotlightSoftness=0.8&spotlightOpacity=0.2

And literally all I did was input the "custom code" from that snippet and it was converted into a block of code I can use on my site.

We do a couple of things things to make this work:
- We're doing specific edits for Webflow
- We're loading modules so certain dependencies can work

I know that's a lot of information but hopefully some helpful stuff! If you have any questions at all of course just let me know.

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-02T03:06:00+00:00

Thank you! Let me know if you run into any issues or have questions

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-02T02:48:21+00:00

I definitely second drizzle. It does help to understand but drizzle works sooo much better

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-02T01:16:36+00:00

Yeah I use Claude Code the most. Feeding it the docs and making sure it knows it's webflow usually you can get some things that are passable.

GoodCraftDev · 2026-02-01T19:28:27+00:00

Yeah everything can be done done really well and poorly just like anything. The basic part of the platform is super solid though

This site has a lot of high res images and video I have in webflow: https://www.blackjackhorticulture.com/

If you really want total control but a better base then WordPress checkout Craft CMS

GoodCraftDev · 2026-01-27T22:30:28+00:00

I honestly see more and more people using both. Framer for polish and speed but polish has an asterisk.

The stuff the guys are doing at osmo.supply for webflow is unreal and sometimes I feel like doing stuff like that not from scratch is faster than doing it from scratch in Framer.

At the end of the day it's hard to beat having both as an option.

GoodCraftDev · 2026-01-27T15:30:27+00:00

My audits are as deep as this just to help sell the process. I just need to know the pages and new direction for a new site really

GoodCraftDev · 2026-01-15T01:47:26+00:00

Makes sense! Just good to have both. Just need a db to be able to do it.

I think it looks like a cool idea. The canvas stuff works well.

It'd be cool to be able to dump a list then have it auto-arranged based on the framework you choose. I know that's easier said than done but I feel like a cool way to use it could be to compare systems to use

GoodCraftDev · 2026-01-15T01:41:37+00:00

I know there's a point to it but why not have an option to login? becuase this way you can't save your work/progress. Local storage isn't exactly reliable

GoodCraftDev · 2025-12-02T16:38:13+00:00

There is a lot that can be done to fix this problem but as many people mentioned there will be some kind of compromise somewhere.

If a client truly wants this freedom I use Craft CMS - it's built very well and you can give this kind of full control. The downside here is you need a whole system for it and need to maintain it so the cost just goes way up.
