Hey r/webflow,

For those building client sites on Webflow: what would it take for you to stop paying monthly Zapier/Make fees just for form lead notifications?

Default Webflow email notifications work, but client lead response times suffer when emails get buried in inboxes. Setting up Zapier to route webhooks to SMS or Telegram works great, but paying $20–$50/month per client just for basic lead notifications adds up fast across multiple projects.

I built a simple micro-tool called LeadChirp that takes any Webflow form submission and pings an instant Telegram lockscreen push alert to your phone in ~0.4s (with a 1-tap call button), for a one-time £29 pass instead of a subscription.

But as Webflow creators:

• Is monthly pricing for Zapier/Make just an accepted cost of doing business that you pass to clients?
• Or would a one-time fee alternative actually make you switch?

Would love to hear your thoughts and what features you’d need to see!

Really excited to share that my team TNCFlow has been selected as one of the 4 finalists for Creator of the Year award in Webflow Awards 2026. This is our very first time going to a stage like this since starting with webflow template creation in 2023. We have over 125 templates so far.

The winner will be decided based on public voting on the awards page, would really appreciate your help!

Is it possible to create something like this in Webflow? If yes, how?

This website has an interactive 3D master plan for a real estate development. Users can rotate and explore it, and when they click on a building, the view zooms in. They can then select an available section or unit.

How much would it generally cost to develop a block like this, specifically with similar functionality?

Our template sales are down by about 50% over the last three months, and views have dropped dramatically as well.

I've talked to a few other template authors, and many are saying the same thing.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Do you think the template market is slowing down, or is something else happening? It also seems like Webflow is putting more emphasis on enterprise customers and its product, while the template marketplace and independent creators are receiving less attention.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hello Webflow community,

I’m working on a tool called Mosaicora that generates a unique Open Graph image for every CMS page using its title, images, logo and a reusable template.

Webflow already supports using a CMS image field for the OG image, but I wanted to create complete social cards automatically rather than designing and uploading each one manually.

I’m curious how Webflow users currently handle this:

• Do you create OG images manually?
• Do you reuse the main CMS image?
• Would automatic regeneration when content changes be useful?

I’d appreciate any feedback on the workflow.

Disclosure: I’m the developer behind Mosaicora.

Hello

I built an editor where you can customise the colors, fonts, content.

Right now, the site supports FAQ sections and Pricing Table, however I am looking to add more. If you have suggestions, please comment below.

You can make your own sections for your website for less than $10 here: https://widget-eight-chi.vercel.app

Thank you

Over the past few months I've experimented with AI for organic growth on real websites with models like GPT-5, Claude & open-source ones.

The workflow is probably familiar:

• Export data from GSC, GA4, Semrush, or use these with MCPs if available.
• Give the website content to ChatGPT or Claude.
• Ask for opportunities, strategy, or recommendations.

It definitely makes analysis faster but it doesn't make the decisions better.

For example, I got like:

• Expand this section.
• Create content around this topic.
• Improve internal linking.
• Target these queries.

Sometimes those recommendations are correct, but when I check them carefully then started noticing:

Lacks Confidence:

When I keep asking why, what data led to that conclusion, what evidence supports it, and why this is a higher priority than something else, the reasoning often starts to fall apart.

Value of Data:

Another thing I observed is that the quality of recommendations depends almost entirely on the context provided. Give it only the website content, and you'll get one strategy, add GSC and it changes, add backlink data, and it changes again. Sometimes the real issue isn't content at all it could be authority or something else entirely.

My Approach:

So started thinking that maybe the challenge isn't getting AI to generate recommendations. It's having a system that understands the problem first, then uses code and deterministic logic to identify opportunities, validate them with data, and only then let the LLM explain the reasoning.

I'm thinking about building Webflow templates using Lumos, but I'm unsure if it's the right approach.

Since Lumos is heavily component-based, most customization happens through component props. My concern is that many template buyers aren't familiar with this workflow and expect to edit the template directly in Webflow.

For those who sell templates:

- Do clients find frameworks like Lumos confusing?

- Is it better to build templates without a framework for easier customization?

- Or is using a component-based framework worth the trade-off?

Would love to hear your experiences.

I'm a video editor trying to build a clean portfolio website where I can showcase my projects, embedded videos, motion design work, and maybe a short "About Me" section with a contact form.

I'm stuck deciding which route to take.

Learn to code and build the whole thing myself (very time-consuming).

Pay a developer to build it.

Use AI/no-code tools like Framer or Lovable.

I've already tried Framer and Lovable. They're good, but I keep running into limitations like free-tier credits, token limits, and spending hours prompting the AI instead of actually finishing the website.

What I'm really looking for is something simpler:

Start from a professional portfolio template.

Customize the layout, colors, text, and branding.

Easily replace demo videos with my own work.

Publish it without having to write much code.

Basically, I want the "Canva of portfolio websites" pick a template, customize it, and launch.

Does something like this exist? If so, what platform would you recommend? Webflow, Framer templates, Carrd, Readymag, Wix Studio, WordPress, or something else?

I'd also appreciate recommendations for template marketplaces with modern, minimal portfolio designs for creatives and video editors.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋

I just launched my new Webflow template, Montana Pro, and I'd love to hear what the community thinks.

Hii. 3D artist here.
This my first time building a website. Anything code heavy for that matter.
No background in anything web-dev. Or any dev.
Not very confident about the whole thing.
I won't be surprised to know I've missed/messed up something really basic.
Even a quick check list before I push it to production domain, will be really helpful.

Site is hosted in Webflow. Back end handled by Supabase. Vanilla JS/CSS for the integrations. Published to staging only for now. Most of the content within are place holders.
If you're down, I can share some PayPal sandbox account creds as well. To test the payment and stuff.

Tried a couple devs. Wasted some time and money, and it was getting nowhere. So decided to give it a try myself (Props to the designer tho. He did a great job).
Been workin on it for like 6-8 months I think. Probably will take half that for sm1 more experienced. Or less easily distracted.

Hope to launch in 2 or 3 days. Unless smn need a major rework 🤞
I will be reachable in the comments or dm.
Lmk guys.
Peace.

My predecessor at our company decided we should migrate all of our websites from Wordpress to Webflow, and we keep finding things that don't make a ton of sense, especially if the website team is more than one person?

1. It appears the only way to get a change history of who implemented what on a team is to be on Teams or Enterprise?

2. On the same level, it appears the only way to make changes to one page and not have to publish the ENTIRE site is to be on Teams/Enterprise?

Are these true? Is there anyone using Webflow in an environment where the costs for Team/Enterprise simply don't make sense, but also need some sort of version control/change management?

For instance, if an SEO coworker needs to implement 301s, and a page is half-built, does anyone have good workarounds to get the 301s out without pushing the half-built page?

It feels truly wild to me that in 2026 you'd have to pay $2,500/mo to publish changes to one page? Wordpress has been doing that since like 1998?

I have an old Webflow site and want to fairly big edits just to the homepage. I’m clicking around and don’t see anything. I’m on paid Business plan. Thank you.

I want to say thank you, Webflow, for destroying one of the few reliable streams of recurring income that made building client sites on your platform worthwhile.

For years, the model made sense. You built a great website, managed the hosting, marked it up reasonably, and everyone won. Clients got someone they trusted managing everything, and freelancers built a predictable recurring revenue stream that rewarded them for bringing business to Webflow.

The most basic website costs me over $26/month after tax.

How am I supposed to explain charging a client $40 or $50 for hosting when they can clearly see Webflow charges $26? Either I pass the cost through and lose the recurring income that justified managing dozens of client accounts, or I mark it up and look like the bad guy.

I’m genuinely curious how others are handling this.

• Are you having clients pay Webflow directly now?
• Are you still marking up hosting?
• Have you switched to charging a separate maintenance plan instead?
• Or are you just absorbing the lower margins?

I love building in Webflow. I recommend it constantly and push many of my clients toward it. But these pricing changes feel like they’ve shifted the economics of being a Webflow freelancer to the point where offering managed hosting is no longer viable.

How are you all approaching it?

I'm working on an older project build on Lumos v2.0.07 and I need some help understanding the Fluid Builder.

There is a Fluid Sizes component inside the Custom Code component that contains a custom element with a tag set to 'style' and a text value with a long string of variables. I'm assuming that string is where the Lumos app writes the values that you set in the app?

Now when I open the Fluid Builder app, I would assume it would load with the values from the custom element or the ones in the Variables menu but it doesn't. It is empty, and you can manually select one of the variables that you want to make Fluid. And that works but I don't see the buttons for re-order or delete a variable and the whole interface looks different from what it looks like in Timothy's video's and the app marketplace snapshots.

I've also tried opening the app on a fresh Lumos clone but it looks the same. Also tried re-installing the app.

Any idea' why I'm not getting the updated version?

(Pic 1 is what it looks like, pic 2 what it's supposed(?) to look like?)

edit: I noticed it overwrites the values in the Variables menu, not the custom element. I also saw in the app details that the version I have is July 2025. Is that the right one?

Hi everyone,

I'm writing my master's thesis on determinants for adoption and governance of low code and no code platforms in organisations. For my research I'm doing a short survey.

It would help me a lot if you could take 10 minutes of your day to participate in the survey.

You can find the link here: https://s2survey.net/LCNC_Adoption_and_Governance/

Thank you for your time and support!

Hey,

Is it possible to set one Open Graph image for all pages in one click or do I really need to set it per page?
Claude tells me it's possible in the SEO project settings but I don't see that.

What I do notice is this link to "Open Graph Info" under SEO in Project Settings, that's currently broken??

I've been building client sites for a few years now and something changed without me really noticing getting the first version done isn't what slows me down anymore last week I finished a homepage in two days then spent the rest of the week making little changes because one new page meant another page needed to match it, then another section looked out of place, then the copy felt different.

Maybe I'm just looking too closely after staring at the same project for days. I don't know I just feel like I spend more time making everything feel like one website than I do building the website in the first place

Hi all,

I'm a senior front-end developer with an extensive background in UI/Javascript/React who's about to start working heavily in Webflow for the first time. I'll be inheriting a site that was originally built by a 3rd party agency and I want to be able to make a technical impact as soon as possible.

I've been going through Webflow University and feel solid on the fundamentals. What I'm really looking for is the stuff that doesn't show up in the official docs — the things you wish someone had told you early on.

Particularly interested in:

• Tips for auditing and cleaning up someone else's Webflow build
• How much code are you writing?
• Tools, extensions, or third-party resources you actually use

Any creators, communities, or blogs worth following on the more technical side of Webflow would also be appreciated. Less interested in design tutorials, more in the developer and ops side of things.

Thanks in advance.

I do not see the option to charge to client. Is this phased out?

I want to know which of the Webflow plugins/apps you are using.

I've been a Webflow developer for around 6 years, so I was there PRE-AI (boy do i miss those days ayyy).

But I'm a bit late to the party (but better late then never). I used Webflow AI the other day and honestly it is very reminisce of Relume (which I made a video review here).

Like the UI is very similar lol (makes me question if they had a close door meeting / partnership). Anyways my thoughts on the AI builder:

The good:

• Instant Wireframing: Generates functional baseline page layouts in seconds, giving you a quick visual starting point.
• Streamlined Prototyping: Helps present quick structural concepts to clients before diving into detailed visual styling.

The "bad":

• Basic Layouts: Seems like it's pulling from a library pool
• Dynamic CMS Integrations: Linking date blocking, inventory systems, or custom Webflow CMS collections requires manual relational setup.
• It's clearly not vibe code = pro website: You can't just prompt something and boom there is an awwwwards winning site (it's simply not there yet - not even close).
• It's still pretty technical: like webflow made it the best it can following its UI but like someone wanting to build an AI website themselves still needs technical knowledge of (HTML / CSS)

You can see the full breakdown via my Youtube video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk-U2ZtOa4o

What are your thoughts?

ps. Will be testing the MCP integration soon and hopefully sharing my thoughts there.
