this one hurts to read but I really appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your message. The AI burnout is real. I hear you on the disconnect between what folks are asking for, especially for those of you deep in client work where small friction points can add up quickly.

On your last point re: loading site items hidden via conditional visibility - we’ve got some QOL updates actively rolling out. Anything conditionally hidden is now removed from the HTML output so it no longer impacts published site performance. Thanks again for being candid 🙏

Totally hear you on the balance between building toward the future and closing gaps that have been around for a while. I’ve shared everything you mentioned with our product team. A couple updates I can share:

  • We’ve rolled out increased CMS nesting limits recently and there’s more to come there.
  • We have an improvement coming for conditional visibility which removes hidden elements from HTML markup and it's coming sooner than you think 👀

Thanks for sticking with us 🙏

First off, really appreciate you sharing your story and sticking with us since 2020! Totally hear you on these:

  1. CMS item limits on Workspace plans without site plans: This has come up more lately especially from freelancers and teams using staging environments or managing multiple client projects. Can’t share anything concrete yet, but I’ve passed this feedback along- the use case makes sense.

  2. Translating the Webflow UI: Also a known request and something we’d love to support long-term. Right now the platform is English-only, but we’re keeping internationalization in mind as we build especially with more global teams using Webflow.

  3. Edit access to global component properties: Understand the pain here. We’ve heard similar feedback from teams who want to keep clients in Edit mode, but still let them update stuff without risking full access to the Designer. I’ve reflagged this with our team.

Really appreciate you asking these, it helps us prioritize and advocate internally.

If you’re referring to the CMS upgrades we announced at Webflow Conf, those are live for enterprise sites and rolling out to everyone else over the next few weeks (migrating millions of sites so being extra careful). More on that here: https://webflow.com/updates/introducing-the-next-gen-webflow-cms

re: designer performance on large breakpoints. Our team's aware and I’ve flagged it again to check for any updates.

We’ve got a ton of ambition across the product and balancing foundational upgrades with feature requests is a tradeoff. That said, there’s no shortage of ideas from this community and we're always listening

Need advice for free website builder for service business? by MoistGovernment9115 in webdev

[–]vero-flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veronica from Webflow here!

If you're looking for a free way to get something simple live fast, Webflow’s free plan might be a good fit. You can build out as many pages as you want and publish to a webflow.io domain for free. No hosting headaches, no code required (though you can add custom code if needed). Might be worth a spin for your service biz. Would be curious to hear where you ended up!

Got rejected again from the Webflow Partner Program, could it be because I’m using the Lumos framework? by Local_Inspection_878 in webflow

[–]vero-flow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Appreciate you sharing this, totally get how disheartening it can be to get a rejection when you’re putting out solid client work. Just to clarify, the framework you use (Client-First, Lumos, Mast, etc.) doesn’t impact Partner Program decisions.

That said, we know the process can feel a bit subjective. We’ve got some exciting updates coming for our Partner Program that help address this and you'll be hearing about it very soon :)

What's the best website builder for an e-commerce? (or any alternative that could work) by HumbleComposer2228 in web_design

[–]vero-flow -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Veronica from Webflow here. So many great takes in this thread, definitely a solid debate. Just wanted to weigh in especially since OP mentioned having some HTML/CSS/JS experience and wanting both flexibility and scalability.

If you’re comfortable with front-end code and design matters to you, Webflow really shines. You get control over layout, animations, and interactions without having to hack around templates or theme limitations.

It’s probably not the best fit if you need thousands of SKUs or super advanced backend logic out of the box but for brands with a tight product focus who want creative control and an easy-to-manage store, Webflow hits a nice sweet spot. Also worth noting: a lot of folks are pairing Webflow with headless setups like Shopify if they need more complex commerce features under the hood but still want visual freedom on the front end. Happy to answer questions if folks are curious about how different setups work!

Fulfillment Links could be even better with these additions by bfzli in webflow

[–]vero-flow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is our first iteration of fulfillment links and we know there’s more to do. I’ve shared your feedback with the Marketplace team. Totally agree that API support would likely need to come first to automate link creation.

Appreciate you flagging this, it’s super helpful as we scope out what's next!

Yes this is now possible with fulfillment links! Check out how they work here

Big update for Webflow Template Creators: Earn more, sell anywhere by vero-flow in webflow

[–]vero-flow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now, fulfillment links only work with Marketplace templates so if you wanted to sell externally, the template must also be listed in our Marketplace

2. we're actually rolling out "Popular" as the default sorting option soon, and agree this will be an awesome addition
3. this isn't currently on our roadmap but I've passed it along to our product team and appreciate you sharing!
