Looking for 2-3 people to complete a quick 30-min usability session with us. There's a £10 gift card in it for whoever completes the session.

Ideally, you'd have some working knowledge of electronics and/or camping.

Must be 18 or over, ideally in the UK and available before EOD 16th September.

I’ve decided to do some beta testing before the full release of Shiftmap. Anyone interested in trying it out and sharing your thoughts?

There will be sponsor slots on the site (logo+link of your choosing) that I can offer in return!

I've decided on Shiftmap for the name of the sitemap tool. Had to design a nice little icon to go with it. #buildinpublic

What everyone does when they land on the new Synthesis site 😄

Shiftmap will be free btw! A token of gratitude to the web dev community that aways shares resources so openly and freely. #buildinpublic #webdev

Loved working on some of these abstract animations for the client site launching next week.

Lottie and Webflow scroll interactions combining in a lot of places to make the site feel so fun.

Got a big client site launch coming next week - a long time in the making too!

A sneak peek at how I'm making social proof more instantly recognisable on a client's new site by incorporating each brand's aesthetics with their logos... I like the little clouds a bit too much...

Webflow has been killing it with all the small updates recently, first MCP and now this
Per page JavaScript | Webflow Updates
Webflow now ensures each page on your site only loads the JavaScript it needs to function and offers new capabilities to further improve site performance.
