Darin Dimitroff — Product designer, Webflow

Designers are constantly pushing the limits of efficiency and tool use. Whether it’s for personal portfolios or freelance client work, we’re constantly searching for a new way to provide our services.

Design tools are one thing, but it’s the transition to a coded website that offers the most friction for a lot of us, and deciding on which platform causes more stress than it needs to.

I’ve been keeping an eye on Webflow for the past year. A relatively new player in the digital space, but one that offers a very real solution to designers that are looking to publish websites without having to touch the underlying code.

I caught up with Webflow’s Darin Dimitroff, to talk about all things Weblow and how his approach to product design allows a fully remote setup.

Darin, in your own words, what does Webflow offer us designers?

With Webflow, digital designers with none or limited understanding of code can build fully custom websites with a content management system and complex interactions and animations in a tool that feels familiar to Photoshop or Sketch.

What’s your design journey up until now?
