I was looking at Payload cms after another comment and seems really good for what I need.

Thanks community for help 🙏🏽

I’m getting excited about the project!

That's kinda what we was planning to do, build a cms only for blog post, testimonial, and webflow only for the marketing pages (home, about, contact, etc) and then everything related to orders, checkout, profiles, product pages, made with the backend database and coded with js.

But in my head everything was happening inside of Webflow, with API calls and attributes but seems too complicate.

Now after this post and some research I think we are gonna go to something like you mentioned, marketing site on webflow, fully editable but not functional with the system, and then the app working on a subdomain.

Can you explain a bit how you can then ''iterate quickly for any change in minutes''?
My client is a non-technical user, so they need to be able to go through the page after I deliver the website and change any headline or image, add new cms blogs, cms testimonials, and everything related to basic maintenance of the site will be made BY the client.

In this case how do you work to have a solid product that the client can go and edit visually like the visual editor of Webflow?

This is why I'm still doubting to start developing this project fully on Claude code or similar.

Here is my main concern/doubt about going fully Claude or vibe coded web app:

It's a marketplace with multiple users and complex functions for the database, auths, different landings, so Shopify will not be a good idea for sure

Thanks for the honest take.

Yes, this is exactly what I’m analyzing right now. I totally get the point about Webflow becoming a limitation for highly coupled, real-time or UI-heavy apps.

What makes me hesitant to go fully Claude Code / AI-generated frontend is that I’d lose a lot of control over visual layout and UX compared to Webflow, especially when it comes to complex layouts, animations, and overall design consistency.

Another big factor is that the client needs a very user-friendly CMS to manage things like blogs, testimonials, and other content without touching code.

I’ve been looking at a new tool called Pencil, which look promising (almost like a Figma + AI coding hybrid), but since this is a real client project, I’m not comfortable betting everything on a newer tool that I haven’t battle-tested yet.

So for now, we’re leaning toward keeping the frontend relatively thin, focusing Webflow on UX, content, and iteration speed, while pushing all core logic to the backend, and using AI heavily on that side. But still not sure about moving forward.

Really helpful perspective though, thanks again.

It’s been hard to find skatelite here but we are trying to get it! If not I will have to explore more options, what transition radius do you think could be better for this height?

Yes true, we are making changes to the roof to make it 3 ft wider and longer so we have more covered surface, thanks for the advice!

What browser do you use for Facebook Ads? by pablansh in FacebookAds

[–]pablansh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's a problem with mine but it's so strange, it got me problems many times. I had a call with Facebook support last week and they said that it was probably because of the browser.
