SIDE away week: how to accelerate the use of Webflow for social impact
We are just back from a week in the Dorset countryside. Rather than strategise or abseil or whatever normal people do on a company retreat, we did what we do best: build websites.
We split into teams and had a competition to see who could best accelerate adoption of Webflow for social impact. Here’s what we made:
How Good is my Website?
Team Nikkiziebeth created How Good is My Website?
How Good is my website? helps non-profit decision makers assess their website and identify next steps to make their website better. It provides a checker to break the website into bitesize areas to assess, such as navigation, accessibility and content. Other features include resources, a showcase and case studies.
Here’s a 5-minute Loom video outlining the vision.
Webflow for good
Team Andinoahshivy created Webflow for Good.
Webflow for good helps non-profit decision makers when commissioning websites, by giving relevant information and social proof. Most website briefs for non-profits require WordPress, so there is a need to better articulate the benefits of Webflow to this audience.
Here’s their Loom video.
🏅The awards and winers
The projects were judged on 3 criteria:
😇 The Impact Award
Which project delivers most social impact, as it currently is?
💰 The Further Investment Award

❤️ The WOW Award
Which project steals your heart? Which project has the wow factor?
