What’s Happening to Webflow? Community Changes and What Users Are Saying in Comments

Well, this is the comment section where we take a look about what you guys have to say. Let us know what you think about anything you've [snorts] heard or whatever in the comments and we'll we'll try and take a look at it. But the last week we spoke about Web Flow needing more creators. They seem to be disappearing. You know, even though cuz we we spoke about some new cool tools that being released by some content creators, overall the content is just far less. And I don't know whether I'm in in a certain algorithmic bubble, but I'm just I'm just not seeing much in the way of Web Flow. A lot of people here are saying about the product position being changed. Uh they they're more guided towards enterprise clients, which I do think is is a big thing. Why would you sacrifice the community for going towards enterprise? You can go towards the enterprise and still have the community. That's my issue. Like even um if you want to be an enterprise tool, you want people to to choose your tool and build with your tool and that is your community. So you nurture them, you help them uh you want them to succeed because they use your tool to in this case towards enterprise and yeah that is uh a big part. Another one like the se second comment about framer sponsoring everything which is also true. Framer is sponsoring everyone and it looks like everybody is trying to [music] make content for framer. They also uh they they gave away 100% of the revenue from templates to their uh creators. that also made it so that many people started making templates and sell it and just keep the money and talk about it. Uh I think that is also true. That is a big one. M they've ged um the the Web Flow cloud storage stuff which has been in beta for for a while and I you know I'm thinking about making content on it and I've got a course on the content but to be really frank it's not performing great and it's very hard to for me to justify time to [music] create create tutorials that people aren't seeing or slash people aren't watching people aren't enjoying and I wonder why people aren't enjoying enjoying them as much cuz the content is being created but I'm not getting the watch hours that I used to. People do like the yearly stuff. I probably will do a yearly video of, you know, the breakdown of Web Flow Conf. But that just seems like I'm just cashing in on the stuff that's doing well, but it's it's guys, it's a two-way street. You know, we I've got to be energized to do stuff that I'm passionate about. Um, and also that you got it's a marriage, isn't it? It's a ven diagram of people what people like to watch and what you enjoy doing. I did see Timothy Ricks might be still kind of leading the charge. And that's what makes me think I'm I'm in a bit of an algorithmic bubble a little bit because I'm not getting them on my feed. And this is the comment I wanted to get to. It basically echoes exactly what you say, Kaza. No one really knows where Web Flow is heading anymore. Features announced and dropped. Memberships gone. E-commerce left behind. Random AI bits without a clear plan. Then price hikes push forward and push with Enterprise. the competition is there and people aren't you know people aren't watching the content that's being put out because they are distracted by other things. So I don't know I don't know what the conclusion is on this. I disagree with the part that uh there aren't enough demand or like same demand for web flow developers. I I believe that is still growing. What we are talking about is not like the the platform not doing well. It's that that aspect of caring for the community and like also Web Flow used to kind of lead with Webflow University. So the community was like very excited about creating content but that has changed. So but uh it is what it is in a way. It is what it is. Uh I I guess they are trying to get back uh on track but we'll see. 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.
