The gift that keeps on giving! For anyone who hasn't tried Webflow, the time is NOW. I can guarantee this... Webflow will be the thing to which designers will say: "Aww, I wish I found out about that years ago!!". Don't be that guy (or gal). Keep up the great work WF!
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.

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"
Dale's videos are SO GOOD, each one a masterpiece. Make sure you let him know! ;)
This looks fantastic! Just a heads up, it looks like there's some perspective issues with those video thumbnails in Firefox:
I just wanted to give you all props.
I think you all are incredible marketers and knock it out of the park.
I'm constantly referring people to your site as an example of who is doing marketing right. And, I've studied the marketing systems inside and out.
On what appears to be a pittance compared to say others who have raised boatloads of capital in the design tool prototyping space whom I shall not name, you all have powerful, coherent, marketing/ educational/ learning/ listening systems that fire on all cylinders with regards to how various individuals process information.
There's short form educational tools, long form, emotive and social (forum, ex.,) - and content types; video, e-books, informative blog posts, direct queries (search) - and personal help - email for direct action.
Absolute leaders.
Marketing is not about interrupting people.
It's about listening and being useful. The resources you all have are polished, professional and in tune with the needs of users.
Great work.
Thank you, Jon. This means a lot to the whole team here.
Also, I should mention the positive support experience I had with one of your team members.
I reached out to Webflow support on an issue and quickly received a response from a team member, Dave - who thoroughly helped me resolve things.
He even went to the trouble of recording a screencast and sending it to me to guide me through the fixes.
It goes without saying, the actual product quality is solid.
Making a run at this builder/ CMS/ hosting space is incredibly difficult. Webflow is a serious contender.
Claps
I have to say these videos are very helpful and more then just a screen share. Moreover, a hell of a lot easier to focus on feature I am trying to understand rather then sitting through a full video of many or skimming the help threads. I don't want to know how long this took.
Oddly enough, the cadence of the voice over reminds me of Jordan Klepper for the daily show.
Really excited about this! Thanks Webflow!
