    Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce the Webflow University, a completely free resource for anyone who wants to get into web design or just wants to design/build their own website. It includes 120 new videos organized into 8 courses that we'll continue to develop. Our mission is to make building for the web more accessible to everyone, whether or not they know code.

    Webflow University

    New Courses

    • Intro to Web Design - Learn the basics of the box model, positioning, color theory, typography and more. A great place to start if you’re new to the world of web design.
    • CSS Styling - Take a closer look at all the styling possibilities that CSS offers, and see how to use Webflow's tools to style elements visually.
    • CSS Layout and Positioning - Dig into the (at times challenging) world of HTML and CSS layouts, and go over everything from block and inline block to flexbox.
    • Ultimate Web Design - All our videos in one big sequence, covering the broadest, most introductory material, down to the most Webflow-specific tutorials in our library.
    • CMS and Dynamic Content - Learn the principles and advantages of building and maintaining a database-driven website.

    We’re hoping these videos are actually fun to watch (blame Dale). Let us know what you think and how we can improve it!

      Looks really helpful, thanks for the resources!

      (Just a heads up, in some places, it's illegal to use the term "university" if you're not authorized by gov't. Had a client a while back that had to rebrand their stuff w/o the word "university".)

      Edit: Here's a source for more info.

        Webflow is based in the US. Per that Wikipedia article you linked:

        "Unlike in some countries, the term 'college' or 'university' is not legally protected in the United States on a national level"

      This looks fantastic! Just a heads up, it looks like there's some perspective issues with those video thumbnails in Firefox:
