Webflow Community: Find Gigs, Jobs, and Connect

So, the new Web Flow community platform just got launched, and this is probably the best place for you to go to ask questions, get to know people, potentially even find your next gig. So, here we have the platform. Um, we have the home. You can log into it using the same Web Flow account. This is one of the biggest changes. Previously, you had two separate accounts. Now, all with one account. Um, you have the feed. We have a leaderboard with Matt on top. I I would guess that actually correctly. Matt being on top. I could guess that Christian number seven. Yeah, shout out to Christian. Uh, he's very active in the community. A really good friend of us. Uh so here you have the community news, you have the product updates, but this is probably not what you are here for. You are probably here for ask and answer. This is where if you have a problem, you want to do something in web flow. You don't know how to do it. You come here, you search it. If it doesn't exist, you ask and hope for community members to answer. There is discover and share. This also sounds interesting. It's like people sharing, I don't know, resources, tips, maybe their tutorials. You could share some of your tutorials. Here we have a job board. Um, so yeah, the last one is from a day ago, 3 days ago, 3 days ago. So I hope there will be more like since it just got launched uh not a long time ago, there will be more new uh jobs listed here. Um, and that pre that's pretty much it. This is the new community. It is kind of like a good news. Not kind of, this is a good news, especially since we haven't heard a lot about the community uh in Webflow. Now, this is kind of showing that they've been working on some stuff. There are like some uh community initiatives that you can also take on. So if you want to host events and things like this, you can come here and read all about it or join events or join other communities. Um, so this is kind of like a central hub and I'm really happy it exists. I'm going to bookmark it in a corner and try to have an eye on it. So that's that's about it. Nice. So thing is if I remember rightly 2024 they sort of this is a re relaunch I as far as I'm aware they they they did something I can't even remember what it was they started a program where you'd earn points it was really difficult to actually earn points especially retroactively it was kind of a mess to be honest um now this is correct me if I'm wrong then this is a new central hub that you access everything through the old one is gone on whatever that was. But I'm right in thinking there was an old one that just Yes, there was. I believe it was Discourse, not Discord, but Discourse like the platform to ask questions and things like this. And I think there was uh they moved everything here. So I believe the the biggest like when when people talk about the web flow community they probably talk about the this discourse part where you can ask and then get answers to your questions and here we see like a long list so they have moved everything here it seems like it um yeah but about the points I think that is uh a bit a bit different so We have also let me actually go to webflow community. So the landing page we have this web flow community page with this slider well slider carousel better word. Um and here you can get a bit like more information and there are some stuff about um like there is the community hub that we talked about. There is a web flow university. We have network groups. We have certifications, marketplace and support. I am or I was a global leader. That was also something they started. I believe this is one of the things that you are thinking about when you mention it and we didn't do much and there was not much to do like as a community leader. I hope um that there will be I don't know some help some type of help that would help people like me to I don't know to to make to have events and gather people because I could definitely uh do that through social and like gather people and have like I don't know we could do some uh workshops things like this would be really cool. So, so anyone can join this community, right? So, the community hub, anyone can join. Interesting. Like, you create an account and you just join the community hub. But, uh, what I mentioned, what I said with the community with the points and things like this, I believe you have to sign up. This is why I said you have to sign up. I'm not sure if I'm still a uh a global leader or not. Yeah, you have to be like a partner or something like this. Yeah, I think I have to submit again. Um, so I'll do that because the thing is like the I remember the Facebook community when when it first sort of came out that was so vibrant like that was really really good place um to to see what was going on. I think I built a lot of my channel on in that community posting videos and stuff like this you know also here uh the challenges this is also a part of the new community there will be challenges by web flow directly and I believe there there are like in incentives for us community let's say community leaders people who are more active in the community uh to to set up some challenges within their you know smaller community groups like we have a a German community where where we all join. I think it would be really cool for us to set up some um yeah activities. So yeah, really cool. Something that I should have mentioned at the very start for people who are just starting their career, I believe like community is one of the best things that they can do. Like joining a community, being active in a community, helping others in a community. It's just building those connections that will end up giving them a gig or a job or, you know, it's it's really important to build these connection. I mean, we met the through the Web Flow community, right? I I believe I DM'd you somewhere. Exactly. Right. So many people have met through and, you know, we've been commenting recently that Web Flow have kind of been letting the ball drop with their community. So maybe this is this is a comeback for them. I hope it's a comeback for them. But I do think the biggest um driver in this is well, I don't know is the videos that they're making. Framer have been killing it because they've literally been throwing money at creators to build their community up. Whereas Web Flow aren't really directly, yes, they've built a place for us to commune, but are they actively sponsoring videos? Are they actively sponsoring um or paying good for uh good amounts for their themes and templates and things like that? Like the end of the day, community is these people are are working. They want to be paid. So I think that's maybe somewhere some thing they can think about is actually yeah supporting their community bit more that's really fair yes yes uh framer has been doing great as you said and just to add to your note community is where people are right by definition and people are right now like mostly on social media and watching short form content so I think it is important for web flow to to touch pe like their community members or like potential like new people in these platforms. So I think these two are very intertwined. This is where Web Flow could do more. So this is what you are talking about framer even their templates. The reason you know about it is because they are being shared on X on Twitter like everybody's you know talking about components that they build um themes that they built and web flow should figure out a system um that rewards people by sharing this type of content um and Framer has been doing that very well. So this is part of a larger conversation on my show Command AI which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web.
