Learn to build websites without code in Webflow

alright guys so today we're talking

about the fastest way for you to learn

Webflow and become a master Webflow

designer and sell your sites for

thousands of dollars we're gonna be

talking about all the misconceptions and

also the shortcuts that you can take to

get there faster so first I want to talk

about one of the biggest misconceptions

that comes with Webflow and this is

something that I heard a lot of times

before I finally made the jump and

started designing with Webflow and that

is this idea that you need some sort of

pre like knowledge of CSS or HTML or any

of this coding stuff and that's just not

true okay if you don't have any

knowledge of that or any experience

don't even worry about it because in my

opinion the best way for you to learn

those things and understand how they

change the way a website looks or

interacts I'm just dive into Webflow as

you click around and you make

adjustments and you're designing

websites you're going to learn those

things along the way so if that's your

big holdup in starting to design with

Webflow just stop worrying about it and

dive in and get started now the first

thing that I want to talk about today is

definitely my favorite way to kind of

self teach Webflow on how to build

awesome websites and that is reverse

engineering you've probably heard of it

before it's it's not a new term one

thing I love about Webflow is they've

got an endless amount of templates and

then they've also got something called

the Webflow showcase that has cloneable

websites okay so what you can do is you

can search through all these templates

and websites and find sites that look

awesome or have cool interaction you can

actually clone those and then pull them

into your designer and then you can

manipulate them and so you can actually

get right in there and see how things

were set up how they were built how the

interactions were made and just kind of

go backwards through this process the

thing that I love most about this is

once you reverse engineer a specific

section or element and see exactly how

it works you won't forget it and so as

you go you're constantly just learning

these new things and kind of adding them

to your arsenal so down the road when

you have a client that needs something

specific or wants a very custom

interaction it's easy for you to just

kind of pull that out and say I've you

know I've reverse engineered that I know

exactly how it works I know how to build

it out step by step and that's going to

save you so much time

rather than waiting until that time

comes and trying to fiddle with things

and make them work the way that you want

them to because that can be frustrating

and just super time-consuming so I would

say if you're new to web flow just jump

into the showcase it's completely free

to clone a couple of these sites and see

how they work the next thing that is so

awesome about Webflow is they have the

most incredible library of video

tutorials now these things are not only

super helpful they're brief their to the

point they're super descriptive but the

things are also super funny so it's

really engaging it's easy for you to sit

down and watch a handful of them and

that's actually something that me even

after building tons and tons of sites on

Webflow I still set aside time almost

every day to get in and watch a couple

of these tutorials because I every day I

either learn something new or I'm

reminded of something that I forgot and

I'm continually honing my skills which

as web designers and especially in web

flow we're constantly learning new

things you never get to the point where

you arrive and so if you are waiting to

take on clients or start charging people

and tell that point where you feel like

you've arrived as a web designer just

don't do it manually I mean you can pick

up Webflow day one and a week later you

can take on your first client and while

that site may take you longer you can

still build something that looks awesome

and you're gonna learn along the way

something that really helped me in my

first couple months as I was learning

Webflow was having something called a

personal project now a personal project

there's really no set parameters on that

or what it can or can't be it really

just has to be a project that you enjoy

and that you take pride in ok so whether

you want to build a website to advertise

your design skills or whether you want

to recreate a website that you just

really like or you want to make a

website for a friend or a family member

whatever this personal project is to you

that will make it so whenever you have

free time you're excited to sit down

open up Webflow and just work on it

okay now that being said

one thing that I think you should keep

in mind is set some pretty high

expectations on this site make sure that

you have a vision of how you want it to

be but also that you know is kind of

beyond your skill set at the time

because that's gonna push you to learn

new things and implement new strategies

and and features and all these different

things and as you do that you're gonna

find that you're extra motivated to

learn new things and implement the

things that you learn from the tutorials

and from your reverse engineering and

it's at the end gonna be something that

you can take a lot of pride in and even

use in your showcase so thanks so much

for watching my video guys if you liked

it or even learn one single thing from

it please share with a friend make sure

to LIKE the video and also subscribe to

my channel I have a lot of awesome stuff

coming out here over the next couple

weeks more on Webflow how to make more

money as a web designer how to up your

prices land your clients we're gonna

talk about it all and I don't want you
