Webflail: Recent Episodes

Jack

Interviews with successful Webflow designers about their 3 biggest failures as creative entrepreneurs.

Welcome to episode 105 of Webflail and I am joined by the almighty Luke Nettie!

Now you've probably seen Luke floating around on the Twittersphere, but if you haven't, Luke does a lot. Websites for businesses that are looking to scale. He does brand messaging, websites, and sales funnels that help businesses grow.

So note web flow is at the start of this episode. He is not just making flowery animations. He is trying to focus in as a web flower that's focused on business results. So we'll talk a little bit about that during this episode. We actually met quite recently, uh, online because, um, there's client stuff that Luke is transitioning from and transitioning to.

We were talking about supporting him on that, which we might touch on during this episode, but. Although he's flying high, although he's a successful freelancer, and frankly, he's just killing it in the game. There have been some failures along the way:

1) Not focusing on relationships early enough in his career
2) Trying to systematize and scale too early
3) Raising his prices too quickly and not doing so gradually.

Hello and welcome to episode 104 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Manuel Ogomigo.

He’s an impressive dude

5 months ago, he quit his stable UX job to dive into the wild world of freelancing and building products in public.

After 4 years, he quit.

And he launched Flowdrive.

In his own words, crickets.

But now, things are moving.

Did you know he has built 8 other products before this?!

He’s a Webflow and memberstack expert and he’s got a smile as big as the Niger Delta.

Has it always been easy for Manuel? Or has it been a real struggle with some massive failures along the way? You be the judge.

The failures that we’ll discuss are:

While working in design, not doing enough research results in failed product and layoff :)
Not doing marketing enough
Almost destroying flowdrive, clearing all assets with a silly mistake

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Theo Roland

Theo is a man you have no doubt come across on your escapades in the world of Webflow but just in case you haven’t, he’s leading the charge in the Francophone Webflow community.

What does Francophone mean? It means french speaking.

He’s french and runs InitWeb, which includes a frenchspeaking Webflow community, InitClub (1043 people in the slack), as well as bootcamps, self-paced courses and other resources.

Before this, he was a freelancer that taught people online.

On YouTube, he has 1.43K subscribers•114 videos

So, he’s a Webflow Expert & Global Community Leader, but has it always been this way?

Has it always been as dreamy as a float down the river seine with a bottle of vin rouge?

NO!

The failures that we will talk about today are:

The failure of launching a studio alongside early-stage training. Unable to scale quickly enough -> Abandonment of this premature project in 2021, project revival in 2024.
The failure in emotionally managing all the help requests from the Francophone Webflow Community Slack. Unable to respond to everyone -> Acceptance of the need to allow others to respond and understanding how to sustain a community independently.
The failure to properly understand the content expected by the Community and the Learners of the training. Better tracking of needs and gamification to encourage completion. -> Fewer basic questions, more technical questions, easier content creation.

Hello and welcome to episode 102 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Nikolai Bain.

This man isn't just slicked back hair and a glorious moustache. He's also a formidable Webflower.

He’s currently focussing on growth tactics

In his own words, he builds thoughtful websites for businesses that are about to launch, in need of a refresh, or ready to scale

More Nikolai facts:

49 templates in the Webflow template library
Worked with clients in industries such as carbon footprinting technology, data analytics and digital advertising
5.81K followers on the YT
76 videos recorded and published

So, he’s in his twenties, his consistent YT publishing, his dry sense of kiwi humour have helped him fly like Icarus but has he flown too close to the sun sometimes.

Like Icarus...

Turns out he is fallible. He does fail sometimes.

The failures that we’ll discuss today are:

Side project failure: https://www.localfinds.co.uk/ - a client generation failure
Work failure: working with an agency that is a bad fit and not getting paid
Freelancing failure: failing to pick a video content niche and therefore getting too many different types of projects requests

Hello and welcome to episode 101 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephanie Bruce.

She’s a digital Designer and Framer/Webflow Developer that worked on OFF GRID & 10X Conference websites.

She has got a great eye for design - you know when you look at premium work and just go GODDAMN.

That’s how I feel whenever I see posts from Stephanie on social of beautiful mock ups and renders.

Speaking of renders, she’s also doing a lot more 3D work too recently being involved in the FlowParty course so excited to chat to her about that and more

**She’s freelancing like a boss.

BUT HAS IT BEEN EASY?

The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:**

Poor time underestimating
Not appreciating the importance of networking and sharing work
Feeling the pressure to keep up with design trends

So, for the 100th episode, I decided to get the big guns in, fly to SF and do this bad boy in person with the CEO (at the time) and co-founder of Webflow, Vlad Magdalin.

Vlad came to US as a refugee with his parents from Russia.

He learnt graphic design almost by accident when he worked with his entrepreneurial dad asked him to convert catalogues from english to Russian.

This lead to a job with a company called Russian American media → deepened his interest in graphics and then 3D animation.

At college, he studied computer science but dropped out to go to the academy of art in San Francisco.

The technical aspect of sophisticated 3D and animation tools and feeling like he was getting superpowers really interested Vlad.

He dropped out of art school and got a job at a design agency.

Why can’t web designers design stuff and hit publish to be live on the web just like 3D - render something and it’s live on the screen

As you may have guessed, this spark was the catalyst for Webflow.
Webflow now has over 200,000 users and is over $100 million annual revenue.

And it was an easy ride with no failures whatsoever.

No no no dear Webflailer… it wasn’t quite this easy.

The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

1) Not valuing himself when he went back to freelancing – until a client rejected my invoice for $750 and said that to him the site is worth at least $5k

2) Stopping to work on Webflow in 2008 (for the 3rd time) when there was a trademark issue and I couldn’t use that name – combined with Weebly raising money

3) (Not sure if I can talk about this one publicly yet… noodling on it) Getting too caught up in the no-code hype and trying to do too much (e.g. Logic) before fully nailing the fundamentals (e.g. CMS)

Today my guest is Tory Howell.

She's a design leader with seven years experience in product design and marketing design for organizations that make the world a better place.

Now, she has got extensive design experience.

In fact, in 2014, she was a design editor as a student. And since then, she's had various different jobs as graphic design and then product design. 2 years ago, her and her co-founder, Triniti Burton, struck out on their own to create Doorway Creative with.

These guys do strategies, brands, and websites for purpose driven organizations. They are on a mission to empower companies that are creating change for the world.

So they're riding high, but has it been easy? Of course not.

The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Spending time and money creating a service that no one wanted
Giving a freelancer the wrong job for them
Business partner communication breakdown and conflict

Today my guest is Vimalan Vijayskaran, the founder of ViDesigns.

He's three years into his agency journey. He has successfully completed, along with his five -man team, over 200 Webflow projects, partnering with top global brands such as Red Bull, Tony Blair Institute, London Interdisciplinary School and loads of other people, obviously.

Now in 2022, they expanded their horizons by venturing into product development. They have built to date six different products and they have over 25 ,000 active monthly users.

These include Formly, FlowPlay, VDS, Chrome extension, FlowPilot, VDS Webflow extension and Bulk SEO.

I'd be surprised if you guys hadn't used at least one of those in the last week alone.

Interestingly, he's worked for Finsuite, Code and Wonder and Hans Springer Labs.

This was all before he started his own studio. We'll get into that and much more in this episode. But of course, it's not all been smooth sailing. This kind of growth does not come with some growing pains.

The fails that we talk about in today's episode are hiring the wrong people slash unable to delegate, failing to scope the project properly and set expectations and taking too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad.

So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 98 of Webflail with Virmalam

The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Hiring the wrong people / unable to delegate
Failing to scope the project properly & set expectations
Took too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad

Today my guest is Chloe Daly.

Designing, leading, marketing, SaaS products and high conversion websites is her thing.

She is a killer UI UX designer. Her practice is focused on data informed human centered solutions containing various UI UX design and methodologies.

Now, what's interesting about Chloe is she is doing not just her full time job, but she's also slowly doing her agency.

So she's working full time as a product designer at Peak, which is based in Manchester and the UK and then she's doing a few projects outside of her job as well and slowly growing that.

So as you're about to hear, she is on a roll.

She's working with clients like Foot Locker by day and then her own freelance clients by night.

But has it been easy? Of course not guys. You know the drill by now. Episode 97. You've heard me say this a few times already.

The failures are:

1) Knowing if a project for you or not
2) Not knowing business skills earlier
3) Not getting contracts signed even with friends

1) Not asking for help
2) Scaling my studio

2) Payment method nightmare

**3) Complex migration face plant

Today, my guest is David Anierobi!‍

Some David facts:

He’s a designer and web developer located somewhere in Amsterdam (currently although he's a digital nomadding around at this stage of life)
He’s passionate about education too - with a YouTube channel with 2.12K subs where he teaches tips about Webflow, and a mentorship program called unlocking the power of Webflow, the man shares as much as he devs.
He freelances with clients and also freelancing for agencies.
He’s probably got one of the biggest smiles out there in the Webflow space.

His philosophy in life is "I can do all things... if given the right opportunity and chance to" which is beautiful - he’s hustled and bustled to get to the position that he’s in in life. BUT, has it been easy? Has it always been predestined?

Or has he had some face-plants and failures along the way that have given him the insights he needed to succeed?!The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1) Not understanding the business of freelancing. Not getting full disclosure Or details for a project and it didn’t end well.

2) Being too positive made you lose a good gig. Never saying “NO”. This is a situation I still battle with 😆

**3) Placing more focus on tools rather than people and connection

Today my guest is Dan Hardaker.

Dan is the Director of Digital Design and co-owner at Proctor + Stevenson.

P+S is one of the UK’s longest-established full-service marketing agencies, offering business-to-business marketing strategy, branding and technology.

Dan is one of the longest-serving employees there having been there for 11 years and 8 months.

Clients include Panasonic, Epson & South West Water.

But if this agency is such a well-established and more traditional agency, you might think that

they are not stuck in their ways, stuffy and less forward thinking.

Far from it - this agency is quick to adopt new technology and Dan is hyper aware of available tools and tech out there.

Their new website, built on Webflow, and explorations of how to use Webflow more broadly with enterprise clients are helping to push the UK Webflow market forward. We’ll get in to this more in today’s episode.

You might think life has always been pretty rosy for Dan if you look at him now with a formidable team, enterprise clients and beautiful office in the heart of Bristol.

But as you may have guessed, there’s been some fundamental fails to learn from to get here.

The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1) Clear Communication
2) Comprehensive Testing
3) Due Diligence in Hiring

Hey Webflailers!

Today, my guest is Keegan Leary.

Keegan Leary, otherwise known as Webbae, is somewhat of a legend in the Webflow community.

After having served 10 years in the Navy as a submarine officer, he graduated from coding bootcamp (Hack Reactor)

He then went on to Upwork and was top ranked (100% Job Success score, 20+ ratings, only 5-star ratings)

He then I’m diving headfirst into becoming a better programmer by teaching others on my YouTube channel and offering tools and apps (7.55k)

Since then, he's launched:
Webflow 201 course → Patreon → Clip Bae → Asset Bae

When he’s not on the tools, you may find running up hills trail running and backpacking with his wife Heather. For fun.

He’s at the peak? Or is here? And did he stumble on his path to success?

The fails we’ll talk about in the episode are:
1) Almost sinking a sub in port...
2) Failures with restore from backup
3) Pricing his 201 course...

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Kendra Rainey.

She’s the coolest woman I know.

She’s the VP of Strategy of Content at Edgar Allan in Atlanta in the States.

She’s writing a book about branding and a dead simple strategy for people if wondering if branding is bullshit.

She’s a strategist and writer who's been shaping brands and creating creating content for companies big and small for the past decade and a half.

She’s been a freelancer, a big brand-agency strategist and most recently, manage the brand and content strategy practice at a boutique digital product shop

Naturally, failure has been part of her story just like any successful webflower we have on the pod!

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Failed to launch a career in public education and then failed to be a big-shot NYC agency creative
Being a crappy off-the-cuff performer for a long time
I spent a lot of time failing at appearing confident and assertive in your younger years

Hello and welcome to episode 89 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Christina Liubynska.

She is constantly juggling different projects.

With Supercharged, she she helps early stage startups by consulting, designing and developing websites that bring them higher profits and happier clients.‍

She also freelances with agencies like Nexus Creative with Dylan Harrocks and with ViDesigns with Vimalam Vijayasekaran.

With Navbar Gallery, she’s building the home to the best navbars on the internet. She’s one of those people that’s a multi-talented but for someone as young as Christina is and as talented as she is, she’s pushed her comfort zone a lot.

Naturally, failure has been part of her story just like any successful webflower we have on the pod!

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Not building an audience earlier
Wasting a year designing for free for a startup
Not getting any projects or work in nearly a year

Hello and welcome to episode 88 of Webflail.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephen Wise.

He’s a creator and entrepreneur. He started as a freelance web designer but now he does a range of things like writing, making videos, running his agency, DEMAND FLOW.

He’s obsessed with figuring out how we can live better and build profitable internet businesses.

Demandflow is design and development on demand for different subscription packages.

There are now 7 people in the agency despite only launching in 2022.

So, the agency is moving in the right direction and he seems to be managing to maintain a balanced lifestyle too but has it always been rosy?

The failures that we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

The 3 week project that turned into 3+ years…
Ignoring the scary S word… Not running things like a business
Focus, Focus, Focus

Episode 87 of the Webflail podcast is with Rob Hope! Yo! Podcast creator, One Page Love Founder and prolific creator with over 15 other projects that were either sold or slowed...

Rob was a freelancer for a decade designing and building websites for clients BUT HE NOTICED A PROBLEM

Clients used adjectives to describe what they wanted for websites but there wasn’t Godly or Landing Love like there is now.

So Rob started collecting website references to show to clients

As you may have guessed, this led to the creation of ONE Page Love. Since 2008, he’s curated over 8,000 single page websites.

Now Rob is a prolific creator.

He’s started dozens of other projects from hosting companies to audio recording apps, to domain names to a Music social network and blog creator called Rock Lifestyle.

Of course, some worked, some didn’t.

One Page love has been far from smooth sailing too. If you are one of the OGs that’s listened to 86 episodes of the pod, you know some of the most successful people have had some of the most epic fails…

The failiures we’ll talk about in this episode are:

1) Starting a hosting company

2) Going all in on one stream of monetization on One Page Love

**3) Hiring someone full time when it wasn’t right

Today my guest is Jess Rosenberg. Jess is an obscenely talented individual.

Jess is a design & creative leader, designer, manager, ideas person with 18+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories in differentiated and breakthrough ways.

You may know her because she was the director of Brand Design & Creative at Webflow - she scaled Brand Studio team from 8 to 18 in under two years.

She’s worked at Twitter, Cloudflare, Mural, Webflow and her ideas and leadership have influenced many tools and products you use today which is wild.

And she’s just launched a podcast called Ladies Who Create with Liz Meyer which is excellent with guests such as Grace Walker, Jessica Strelioff & Danielle LaRoy and Steph Jeong

Basically, she’s a big deal.

The failures we discuss are:

**1) Desiring to be liked by everyone as a manager early on
2) Imposter syndrome
3) Being hands on in the work

Today my guests are Tim Janes and Dan Foster, co-founders of MakeBuild Studio - a design and innovation studio from London in the UK.

Tim’s background as a visual designer and Dan’s background digital designer and UX consultant meant these 2 were a power duo when starting Makebuild 4 years ago.

Though they have designed and built a lotttt of Webflow websites, they have also been experimenting emerging technologies like AR. In fact, recently, they made an AR project with Fruitella - the sweet brand. To help launch a new jelly sweets, they created a world and then select a creature which you could see in your living room on your phone screen.

Makebuild have recently hired Liam Mews and Greg Faulkner so they’re flying high and growing a team but we want to know about how they got here don’t we?!

The failures that we’ll talk about in this episode are:

1) Not scaling up the team early enough

2) Not niching down early enough

**3) Not focusing on producing great work

Today my guest is Uros Mikic. He’s Founder and CEO of Flow Ninja Studio, an award-winning Webflow agency working with clients like Upwork.

Since 2015, they have successfully led more than 100+ Webflow projects worldwide.

He has a team of 40 people and his team is in Serbia. They have products like Data Goat, Six Star App & more

At the 2023 Webflow London meetup, Uros introduced me to Rakia which, I later found out, gives terrible hangovers.

He has a killer YT channel where he shares stories behind building in-house team of 40 people and how you can leverage website strategy and Webflow to grow your digital presence.

But how is he so driven? And what ups and downs has he had on route to success?

The failures we'll talk about in today's episode are:

Scaling the team too fast - track numbers and profitability
Management style - how bad a manager he is
The office - one of ROI

Today my guest is Kayleigh Flaherty. She's a Webflow developer located on Long Island, New York. And if you need a reminder who she is, she was part of the killer duo with KC Katalbas for the Slater Game Challenge, obviously.

And she made an incredible game called "Debug," which she was in the top three for that challenge for, but what I'm trying to say is that Kayleigh is extremely talented. And although she's not posting every day on, on Twitter and LinkedIn and stuff, she is doing amazing work every single day.

She's so super, super busy. And in fact, organizing this interview was really hard because she's so busy. She's doing so much work.

She's worked for Blackpeak and Ammo Studio, but she's also got her own individual clients too. She's flying high, but has it always been this way?

The failures that we're going to talk about are:

Learning for too long and not actually jumping into the client work itself
Relying on one agency for work
accounting for her time properly

So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 83 of the podcast with Kayleigh Flaherty

Today my guest is Florian Bodelot.

He is the co-founder of Digidop. He met his co-founder, Thomas Labonne, in school and they thought wow there's an opportunity with the no code space in France. It wasn't so well known so they doubled down on a tool called Webflow which you may have heard of.

And since then, they're like a runaway train. These guys are now a Webflow professional partner, Client First certified. And in 2023, they won professional partner of the year. The rise has been pretty dramatic for Digidop. After translating Client First documentation for FinSuite a couple of years ago, they have seriously leveled up their game, growing a team and doubling down on content creation too. They have their own YouTube channel, TikTok, Instagram. These guys are going in on content, which we'll also talk about today.‍

So has it all no pain au chocolat on their journey to Digidop domination for these frenchmen? Of course not.

The failures that we'll talk about today are:

Believing saying no to clients meant losing opportunities
two, selling features over benefits
forgetting how sport was making Florian a better man.

So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 82 of webflail with Florian

Today my guest is Erin Fleming. Now Erin came to my attention because she was doing the most outrageous challenge. 100 days of posting her work and she was cranking out designs on the daily. From it, she’s gained amost 1000 followers, got a freelance client and gained some friends along the way. She’s now building Storefront.design. The best best Digital Storefronts on the Internet. Period.

Her story is fascinating as you’re about to hear - she left corporate finance to become a digital designer

Were there bumps in the road?! Of course! The failures we'll talk about today are:

Relying only on my partner for feedback on my designs, instead of putting my work out there.
Starting a design & development studio with my partner, and expecting things to fall into place and clients to walk in the door.
After we pivoted the studio to be development only, I gave upon on designing and thought I should focus on my previous skills as an account manager/sales. (Then remembered how much I disliked that.)

Today, my guest is James Abad. You may know James from making killer work for Black Peak, the team behind Wized that recently got acquired by Finsweet.

He worked there for two years, and in that time, Black Peak went from being a team of three to 20 people. A few months ago, he said goodbye to Blackpeak to follow a new path where he created his own agency with Alier, otherwise known as Ald, Gallardo.

The agency is called Produlis to produce scalable web apps with Webflow.

But although he's had an almighty rise, he's also had some setbacks along the way. The failures that we'll talk about are:

My first project, my nightmare and the best thing that ever happened to me. Four months of work, but no money.
Creating an agency without prior experience of working at one first.
Making work my entire life, all day thinking about it and losing myself in the process.

I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is John D Suanders. Now you’ve probably heard this intro before: What is good y’all, John D Saunders here, you know the vibes. He’s a Web Designer and Founder at 5Four Digital and an Automation Expert with a decade of experience building brands online. Over more than 10 years, agency has worked with 250+ startups so pretty prolific. But what’s possibly most impressive about John is his content creation. He’s done over 150 videos on YouTube amassing more than half a million views and that’s actually where I first came across him. He’s got a course called Agency Growth Accelerator. And this is all while being a dad too.

As you probably know if you listen to this podcast regularly, success comes with some face plants along the way. The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

Not charging enough
Not focussing on core services fast enough (Switching just branding, UI/UX)
Not developing systems in the agency soon enough

Hello and welcome to episode 78 of Webflail.

Today my guest is Grace Walker. If you’re interested in the Webflow space, you no doubt know her already - she has over six years of design experience and almost years of successful freelancing, she’s launched nearly 100 marketing sites for my clients. She’s a web designer and webflow developer that, besides being known for her clean designs and thoughtfully constructed websites, has an exceptionally pleasing twitter aesthetic. Grace shares glimpses of her minimalist home, nature on her road biking adventures and obviously stunning work. She’s just released her own course called “Fast Forward Freelance course,” for freelancers aspiring to have a thriving freelance practice which includes resources, hours of video content and office hours too.

Life seems pretty rosy. But is that true? And has it been smooth sailing on the journey? he failures we’ll discuss today are:

Saying yes to projects because I felt like she “should”
Being afraid to break up with clients
Not asking for help when I was in over my head

Today my guest is Jeremy Leroux. You have no doubt seem Jeremy on a livestream. As one third of No code north, a keen visual designer and developer and data base and API integrationer, he’s no slouch in the webflow space. Fascinatingly though, Jeremy has had an unusual path to Webflow development. He came to web design and development form working in the Entertainment industry as a writer / director. He’s also the founder of countryeverywhere which celebratingLGBTQ+, BIPOC, & Disabled Country music communities.

A fascinating podcast ahead. The failures we’ll discuss today are:

undervaluing the work and my skill. Doing free / low paying work for much longer than needed. Eg even up to a year ago I did a free site and after i had put so much work and effort in, the person i built it for a few months later without even letting me know took it down and replaced it with a few links on a page. Glorified linktree.
Building Country Everywhere with a "Field of Dreams" mentality. Where in actuality if you build it they won't necessarily come.
Putting all eggs in one basket. A steady year of work is not a guarantee of another.

Today my guest is Jacob Sussman, CEO and co-founder of BX Studio. Now BX studio is interesting - it’s a webflow exclusive agency. They offer custom development, site migration, and ongoing maintenance and support services. Now what’s wild is that the studio launched in January 2022. Since then, BX studio has not only become a webflow enterprise partner, but has also created award winning work with brands in a variety of industries such as Headspace, Zipline and Square Roots. That’s mental health, drones and vertical farming. You may have seen Jacob talk about the most recent Webflow conf, or seen him on Twitter where very active.

As anyone who has seen Taylor Swift’s documentary though, a meterioric rise to fame and fortune doesn’t come without it’s sacrifices and head in hand moments.

Getting fired from one of my first client accounts
Not holding internal team members to reasonable standards
Not hiring project managers at BX Studio for 5 months despite scaling the agency significantly - overwhelming

Welcome to Episode 75 of Webflail with Daniel Anisse.

As anyone that listens to this podcast knows, Relume originally formed as an agency but since then, Relume has evolved into a product company that provides tools and resources used by thousands of Figma designers & Webflow developers including icons, the component library, the ai site builder and more. However, few people will know that Dan is a man after my own heart - a lover of failure that has tried and failed to kick start over 20 business ideas. I say a lover of failure not from a snarky place at all - it is from a place of deep respect. In fact, Dan wrote an article called “Beautiful Failure,” in which he wrote:

”No one ever achieved anything if they didn’t dare to start. I know… you have failed in the past… BUT remember how you felt when you gave in and got a full-time job — it was one of the worst feelings in the world”

I am extremely excited to dig in to the failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode which are:

**1: Losing $200k in a clothing business
2: Failing to kick start over 20 business ideas
3: ‘Almost’ closing Relume Agency (Dec 2020)

Welcome to Episode 74 of Webflail with Goodside Studio.

Today my guests are Danielle Laroy and Jessica Strelioff. These two are long time creative collaborators but came together more formally last year to launch Goodside Studio. The ethos was: "One part visual. One part verbal. Weaving colour, concept, and copy into cohesive brand systems that scale.” Wait what? What does that mean? Well, Jessica is a brand identity designer with over 10 years experience working with the likes of Asana, Yahoo, Google and agencies such as Upperquad, Farm Design and Paladar. Danielle is a wordsmith that has smithed words for the likes of Patagonia, Robinhood and Google. To give you a taste of her wordsmithing, her website homepage says: Strategy with soul, Copy with character, Brands you want to hang out with. Alliteration for the nation.

Has it all been as smooth as the words “copy with character" would suggest though? You guessed it. No it hasn’t.

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Navigating the pre-commitment phase before we started Goodside
Ignoring orange / red flags in new business calls
Saying yes to projects for the wrong reason (to please others, for money, because it's a big name)

Now if you’re in the Webflow space, I have no doubt you’ve seen Michael around but on the off-chance that my mum is listening and won’t know who he is, he is the founder of Figma Academy where he has taught over 4000 designers. He’s also the creator of dive club where the best designers never stop learning - there are a series of courses there from Michael but other designers too, and he also has a podcast called Deep Dives, where he interviews the most prolific designers in the space. Before this, he was the founding designer at Maven, an online, cohort based learning platform.

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

1) Pre-selling a SaaS platform for my startup to extend runway.

2) Designing maven onboarding.

3) Launched @joindiveclub as a school but tbh I couldn't get it to work.

Welcome to Episode 72 of Webflail with Henry Ludlam-Steinke .

Henry is a london based Webflower that is particularly talented at design. Hen-ry.com says it all - clean fonts, shimmering gradients, 3D animations is the name of the game to create elegant, flowing and pleasing websites. Despite being a young gun in the Webflow space, Henry has worked with YouTube greats like Ali Abdaal and Jamie Rawsthorne as well as start ups too. Fun facts - Henry wears caps a lot, he’s currently digital nomading around (in turkey at the time of this call) and he’s bullish on learning spline.

As with anyone that’s working with these type of clients and making saucy work this early on in their journey, Henry has had some highs and lows so far.

The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

First time I ever got a 10k project
Deep sense of shame despite client criticism was unfounded
Overshared and unshared on Twitter

Welcome to Episode 71 of Webflail with Johnnie Gómez .

He’s Staff Brand Designer, Web at Webflow but before joining webflow in 2019, he ran a digital agency together with my business partner for the last decade. They worked with all sorts of clients in all kinds of projects including fashion campaigns, ads, branding, store design & signage, web design and development, mailing and drip campaigns. ANYTHING CREATIVE, JOHNNIE HAS DONE IT.

Kevin arleo:

“Johnnie is that kind of people that is hard to find. There is no need to say that he is an amazing, chameleon-like designer that can do any type of work with brilliance because his work speaks for himself. But the thing is, that Johnnie is an incredible human being with a great sense of empathy. I have never seen someone who cares so much for his coworkers and the design community. He is always willing to teach and learn from others. His energy and kindness are contagious. My advice for anyone considering working with Johnnie would be: DO IT, don't miss that opportunity.”

The failures that we will talk about today are:

Scaling his 10-year old agency in Argentina, or NOT doing this.
Trying to freelance but bellyflopping and drowning.
Not understanding cultural implications

Welcome to Episode 70 of Webflail with Geenay Kotze.

Geenay is someone I'm seeing more and more on social media, sharing behind the scenes of client work and sharing thoughts about being a founder. She's a South African living and working in London and she's tearing it up. She is building her freelancer business out, her studio Consortium, which she's the founder of. She's a UX UI designer by training and a full stack designer by trade. She's helped hundreds of businesses across the UK, US, UAE and more to develop their existing customer experience and more importantly, generate new ones. But as we know, as with anyone that has got to the level of success that Janay has, there have been some failures along the way.

The failures that we will talk about today are:

Struggling to focus on the core business and staying consistent
Building and getting involved in online community
Expanding her studio

In this moment, we dive back into the debate of retainer vs. project-based web design in this episode. Keith discusses the benefits of long-term client relationships in retainer models, contrasting them with the one-off nature of project-based work. Key points include the ever-evolving nature of web design, the importance of balancing aesthetics with functionality, and financial implications for design agencies. This episode is perfect for web designers and business owners looking for insights into effective client engagement and sustainable business models in the dynamic world of web design.

Welcome to Episode 68 of Webflail with Keith Armstrong.

In the about section of Keith's LinkedIn, it simply says 'a Canadian website developer with a stubborn drive to make the web better'.

This undersells Keith in my opinion. He is the founder of Flowsparrow, a subscription based Webflow service. He’s been involved with Flowparty, I’ve heard him share wisdom on Twitter Lives, he had a newsletter for a while called the div dive. He’s keen to help others is what I’ve seen and that goes a long way. Not only that, he’s just started Remote Supply - a clothing brand with a 90s feel.

But naturally, no road is perfectly straight!

The fails that we’ll discuss today are:

1. Not letting go of control and trusting team members

2. Subscription VS. Project Based

3. Burnout & Side Projects👀 Check out Showcased **today

In this moment, Isabel and Jack have a compelling conversation about challenging job experiences and how they can serve as unexpected catalysts for personal and professional development. Jack and Isabel explore the idea that every job, good or bad, contributes valuable skills and perspectives, such as relationship building and communication enhancement. We also address the common fears of starting new ventures, like podcasting, and the paralysis that can result from overanalyzing choices such as tools and client acquisition. Isabel also emphasises the need to normalise and openly discuss failure as an integral part of the journey to success.

Welcome to Episode 66 of Webflail with Isabel Edwards.

Now, I know Isabel from a Webflow meetup that I organised in London at the start of this year, and then I met her again at Barcelona meetup organised by Tambien Studios. She is a good egg who is passionate about community. She has set up two events this year and both were a massive success. She is also the head of brand for Versori, a platform that integrates, migrates, transforms and automates your business systems backed by Y Combinator. She is a Webflow global leader and she was Webflow Global Leader of the Year this year, beating some strong competitors (I will never forgive her...) She also freelances for Designsie, doing some web design, brand identity and UX UI when she finds time around her job, which as you may have guessed, she doesn't actually have too much of.

The failures that we'll get into in this episode are:

GCSE and A level
First career in marketing
Finding her place in the Webflow community, being a community leader rather than an educator

Welcome to Episode 66 of Webflail with Silvia Li Sam.

Silvia is the founder of Slam Media Lab, a Webflow, brand and SEO agency. Since the pandemic, she has now grown the agency into a $2M business. The agency works with mission-driven organizations, from non-profits to social impact VC firms, and universities.

The failures that we will talk about today are:

Positioning and winning big deals
Branding beyond Webflow
Reduced scopes just to win the deals, sacrificing our process

In this moment, we explore the challenges Martina and Juan faced with their dream project: a significant hotel development near New York. What began as an ideal assignment quickly turned more complicated when an unexpected creative director from a partner company took control, altering the project's direction. They grappled with maintaining creative authority and the importance of assertive communication in collaborative environments. This narrative underscores the lessons learned in navigating client dynamics and the critical need to voice concerns early in the creative process.

Welcome to Episode 65 of Webflail with Martina and Juan.

These two are the dynamic duo of 473 agency based in Argentina. Their work is stunning - clean, colourful and well-considered. They leave no stone unturned. What I love about them too is that they are quietly very funny people. In fact, on their website it says '98% of the time, our clients return. It's actually 100% but for some reason 98% sounds even better'. I love this. I got to know these two when they worked on the Slater rebrand, where they smashed it out the park. And I also saw them speak at Friend’s agency’s Estado de Flow event in Buenos Aires, where they encouraged us all to be more coriander which we’ll talk about in this episode.

The failures that we'll talk about in this episode are:

Launching in the US market,
Their creative direction getting hijacked
Getting scammed with relationships not working out.

Welcome to Episode 64 of Webflail with Fabio Nobile.

He makes unique websites for ambitious businesses, which we'll dig into today. He's also had a very interesting route to Webflow. He started studying law at university, got interested in journalism, then got interested in communications and marketing and now is a freelancer doing brand identity, web design and web dev. So we're going to get into some of those during this episode.

The failures that we’ll talk about in this episode are:

Neglecting self marketing and chasing money over passion.
Undervaluing himself.
Not charging enough for projects and struggling with imposter syndrome and letting it kill his motivation and drive from time to time.

Welcome to Episode 63 of Webflail with Andrea Morgan.

I first came across Andrea on Twitter. She's part of both the Flowmex and Floxies communities. And she's super active sharing what she's up to, not just in Webflow, but also in Slater. We've done some live streams together and she is just such a big part of the Slater community, always sharing, getting involved in the competitions. And I'm so glad she's on the podcast as well because she is a Webflail Patreon, which is awesome.

Today, we’ll discuss:

Staying too long in my comfort zone.
Trying to get a UX Designer job
Joining an agency without knowing much about it.

In this moment, Witt shares a story of facing a challenging work environment that ultimately led to his termination. It just so happened that the termination took place on his birthday.

Welcome to Episode 61 of Webflail with Victor Okwegada.

I first came across Victor on Twitter when I saw posts of Webflow community watch parties and then scrolled to find him teaching large classrooms of kids about digital skills with his Great Minds In Tech Foundation. Besides doing a lot of community work, Victor is a product designer too.

The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

1) Procrastination of tasks.

2) Working with the wrong client even after seeing their red flags.

3) Working without team mates.

Welcome to Episode 60 of Webflail with Witt Langstaff

He’s the gentle giant, and the most low key/high performing member of Edgar Allan agency that I know. He's got a surf dude vibe and laid back cool. Mason was Witt’s flash teacher at college and the Mason hired him when he was at college. I also work closely with Witt on Slater.

The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

Overcoming nerves
Biting off more than you can chew
Getting fired

Welcome to Episode 59 of Webflail with Ayush Soni.

If you’re in the Webflow space on Twitter, you have no doubt seen this man’s exceptionally aesthetically pleasing tweets as he shares colourful web design inspiration as well as his own work characterised by large sans serif fonts, block colours and funky illustrations. I hesitate to try and describe a single style for Ayush though - he is clearly inspired by a huge range of visuals which no doubt influence his eclectic design styles.

The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

Starting a productised design business back in early 2022
Not hiring early enough!
Not sharing your work properly

Welcome to Episode 58 of Webflail with Jess and Nelson. I’m very excited to speak to them both because they have just started their own studio together, 'That One Couple', so it’s exciting to have them on the podcast to ask them about their journey to this place. As if starting a studio wasn’t hard enough, Nelson has just launched Ophelia with Austin Thesing, a community-powered platform that connects Webflow users with experts, and the Pixelgeek YouTube channel in a new way. Oh, and a podcast!

But how on earth did these 2 get here? What ups and downs have they had along the way?

Marketing and taking a break is my current weaknesses and failures
Public speaking
(Both) dealing with a difficult client

In this moment, Glenn and Jack discuss the evolution of their beliefs, from the once-held notion that an ironclad mind could conquer all obstacles to the realization that relentless determination can lead to costly mistakes and often isn't worth the fight. They explore the pitfalls of overcommitment, the struggle of ignoring well-intentioned advice, and the transformative power of age and experience in finding balance. Join them as they share valuable insights on the importance of quieting the mind, embracing change, and ultimately discovering the path to genuine success in both business and life.

In this moment, Glenn and Jack discuss the importance of building a community and brand loyalty by emphasizing the significance of starting with the "why" behind your project or community. The "why" is what creates a deep connection and engagement with your audience. Glenn stresses the role of empathy in understanding your community's struggles and needs. They envision the community as a tribe where members support each other and evolve together. This heartfelt approach aims to help web designers and developers level up and live better through their shared journey.

Welcome to Episode 57 of Webflail with Glenn McWhinney.

I first met Glenn in real life at the London Webflow meetup last year and I was pleased he was as nice in person as he is online. Glenn is a seriously experienced Webflower. With over 20 years experience working with the web, he has more recently become a specialist NoCoder using tools like Webflow, Airtable, Integromat, Outseta (+ a bucket load more). He launched TheFlow.agency in 2019 as one of the first NoCode agencies in the UK, NoCodeKids with my good friend Max Haining of 100 Days Of No Code, and, more recently, Live The Flow Life - a community and Wized course (although more courses to come).

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Wanting to find a Co-founder
Pushing to make something happen doesn’t mean you should
Holding too tightly to things

Welcome to Episode 56 of Webflail with Josh Jacobs.

Currently, Josh is working as Senior Designer at Jasper AI but still moonlights as a Webflower on freelance projects. Josh has had over 6 years designing and building web stuff and he’s a die-hard Webflower fan boy - he’s even spoken at the 2021 and 2022 Webflow conferences. Josh’s career has not been linear though and for anyone that has done as much as Josh has, there have been ups and downs.

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Not shifting my business alongside life changes
(Briefly) pivoting away from Webflow design

Welcome to Episode 55 of Webflail with Jordan Gilroy

I’m your host, Jack Redley, your failure connosieur and today my guest is Jordan Gilroy. One half of Kin studio, Jordan works with his brother building a small but mighty agency making pixel perfect stunning websites which arrest the user in a small digital moment of wow (or that’s what these websites do for me). Jordan has won multiple awards and recognitions for my work, such as Design & Art Direction InBook Award and Site of the Day. But with Jordan’s 10 years of experience in the digital design industry, starting as a senior designer at a creative agency, and working projects for leading companies across different sectors, you think he didn’t have some ups and downs on the way?

The failures we’ll talk about today are
1. Focusing on the volume of work and saying yes to everything.
2. Undervaluing my services and being too cheap.
3. Poor project management. From processes to scope and deliverables.

Welcome to Episode 54 of Webflail with Lucie Le Liard

I met Lucie in a online coaching course a few years ago and then for the first time in real life in Bordeaux a few months ago! She’s the founder of Positive Impact Studio which works with mission mission-driven startups from early stages to more established. With an honourable mention for that website, she’s grown in design and has worked with all sorts of mission driven start ups. Lucie is insanely passionate about what she does but what I love about Lucie is that she is also keen to build an agency while also living and working abroad like living in Central America for a year. Lucie goes the extra mile for clients - she is one of the hardest working people I know and I’m excited to dig in to her failures today!

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Failing to help yourself before you can help other people
Making good decisions, at the wrong time
Specialising too early

Welcome to Episode 52 of Webflail with Maël Ruffini

You may have met him in Barcelona for the Tambien Studio meet-up. Tambien studio presented some of their beautiful work - you’ve probably seen it in the Webflow space. It’s characterised by beautiful, large images, gsap animations, and large sans serif fonts. I recommend checking out their beautiful work on the Tambien studio website after this episode! Along with Mael Ruffini, their studio punches well above their weight both in quality of work, size of clients and content output. But their journey to building their studio has not been linear as you’re about to hear.

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

The failure to not be able to focus on one thing at a time.
Not having enough self-confidence.
The inability to create content consistently and be visible on social media.

Welcome to Episode 52 of Webflail with Ilja van Eck

You may have seen his award winning work floating around the Twittersphere because he’s pumping out award winning work monthly it seems. Nominated for independent of the year, part of Okaydevs and having worked with the likes of studios such as Holographic and Off Brand, he’s had a hell of a Webflow career already at only 21 years old.

His new YouTube Channel has already amassed 1000 subscribers with only 5 videos so far which is wild. His chilled, down to earth dutch vibes are ideal for calmly teaching us mere mortals how to use GSap and more. Recently, he started his own no-code community in the Netherlands too. But has success come to Ilja without bumps in the road? Of course not.

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Saying yes to a branding project without asking enough questions.
Not saying no, and therefore burning out a bit
Taking on personal projects without actually having the time for them

Welcome to Season 2 and Episode 51 of Webflail with Chisom Igwe

Chisom first caught my attention when she made the most powerful and hilarious Webflow community grant video I have ever seen. In the style of the Webflow university videos, she applies for a community grant with wit and charm. But the fact she can do this is no surprise. She has a YouTube channel where she does tech interviews, career videos like where she talks about her experience as a software engineer at Reddit and about her time living in Ireland. Cheesom is building a startup, power to the creators, alongside her full time job working at Vev, a Webflow competitor!

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

Not getting a return offer from Facebook
Not being able to raise the funds to complete her second degree from college
Not being patient enough with her parents

Thanks for the amazing support over Season 1 - 10,000 listens was such a great way to finish it!

Welcome (once again) to Episode 18 of Webflail with Yannick Lorenz (also known as Yaya).

At Webflail HQ, we felt that this episode has been slept on for too long so here it is again. Yaya provides brilliant insights into the world of agency ownership and the enormous pressures which come from not having systems and processes.

Three years ago, he co-founded the creative studio 'Shadow'. Believing it was the way to success and the life he wanted, he hired staff quickly, made up systems and processes as he went along, and said yes to client requests to satisfy their demands. The combination of internal and external pressures almostforced Yaya to close Shadow but he managed to turn it around.

Now, he works on both Shadow and Crème which launched this year, curating opportunities for the world's top Webflow talent.

The three failures Yaya talks about in this episode are:

Failing to spot that he was hiring and growing his agency too fast
Failing to prevent debts, loans and too much risk
Failing to put in place processes and systems

Welcome to episode 50 of Webflail with Joe Krug

If you’re listening to this podcast, you probably already know Joe and the incredible things he has done not just for him and his team, but for the Webflow community as well. But just in case you don't know him and his work let's have a recap...

He started Finsweet web agency in January 2016 with no development knowledge and no money but through determination and hard work, he grew in confidence after getting results for clients and things accelerated fast. In 2017, Joe hired 2 devs and started motoring. As the agency grew, he started a YouTube channel in 2019 and by the end of 2019 had 12 employees. In early 2020, he turned down a $1.24 million offer to sell Finsweet and has since gone on to create the F’in sweet community, cloneables, Client First Build Strategy, Attributes, Finsweet Chrome Extension, acquired Wized. It’s INSANE.

The failures we’ll talk about today are:

A startup that taught Joe a lot about business
Failed cold calls for website clients
Hiring the wrong people early on in Finsweet

Thanks so much for listening to 50 episodes of Webflail. We can't wait to launch Season 2 of the Podcast soon...

Today, my guest is Dylan Harrocks. I met Dylan for the first time in Barcelona a few weeks ago. The power of twitter - crazy. Anyway, since then, I joined the same co-working space as him and we’ve talked about the power of his subscription based pricing model for his agency, building a network and pushing through barriers. He is an email marketing genius and I feel like this is something that we will be talking about today too. But although Nexu Creative has grown fast, he has had his fair share of failure.

The 3 failures we will talk about today are:

Building A Virtual Agency
Changing Processes For Clients
Being Too Hard On Himself

For Ep 47 of Webflail, my guests are Alex Tourgis & Balerein Aranda Arestizabal.

I met these 2 for the first time at their incredible event in Barcelona where they had some big name speakers like Emily Lonetto, Maguire, ME, and they Tambien studio presented some of their beautiful work - you’ve probably seen it in the Webflow space. It’s characterised by beautiful, large images, gsap animations, and large sans serif fonts. I recommend checking out their beautiful work on the Tambien studio website after this episode! Along with Mael Ruffini, their studio punches well above their weight both in quality of work, size of clients and content output. But their journey to building their studio has not been linear as you’re about to hear.

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

1) Failing to follow your instinct rather than your bank account

2) Rushing the process and trying to grow too fast

3) Failing to balance work and life

For Ep 47 of Webflail, my guest is Fungi

Fungi comes from a science background with a Batchelor of Science in Human Anatomy and Physiology & Biochemistry. She initially became interested in design after watching a Photoshop tutorial and from then she was hooked, going down the rabbit hole of design to learn different softwares and grow as a designer. She found her brand voice and design style when she tied her background from Harare in Zimbabwe to her Webflow work. Her style is heavily influenced by Afrikan culture: patterns, historic writings, graphic symbols and colour as a form of visual and global communication.

Go check out her beautiful website after the episode!

The 3 failures we talk about are:

First ever webflow dev site
Having proper internal systems
Getting a steady flow of work

For Ep 46 of Webflail, my guest is Jamie Dowis

Jamie is the founder of Virago which specialises in webflow development for creative agencies and independent designers. Her team is now 5 people including Jamie and the agency is a professional partner. Virago has worked on some killer projects so far including TEDx Miami, Caviar Caspia and Juice Pharma. Basically, Jamie is killing it but was it always this way?

The 3 failures we will discuss today are:

Starting out as a Wordpress designer and developer and taking on ridiculously low paying projects.
Working 12+ hours a day on all the wrong things after starting my agency.
Hitting what I thought was my 10 year monthly revenue target and feeling nothing but stress.

For Ep 45, my guest is Ankita Gupta.

Ankita is a freelance webflow developer based in Delhi, India. You may have seen her in the semi-final of the speed build challenge or speaking at the Floxies community. She is an avid no code fan, and writes a newsletter called Trail Of Thoughts, all about UI/UX design, nocode and ChatGPT. They’re filled with diagrams and clear, analytical thinking which seems to be Ankita’s great skill.

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

Following the herd mentality
Chasing every new shiny object in the market
Waiting for the work to come to you rather than going and getting it

For Ep 44, my guest is Max Joles.

Max is the head of dev for 8020 agency in the states and also writes a newsletter about his hometown of Maine called the 'Maine Outsider' - a roundup of local outdoor events. He also set up 'Made by Adventur'e - a company to highlight travel as a force for good. I hadn't met Max before this interview, but from scrolling through his social media and website, there are obvious things about his life: his love of problem solving and the great outdoors. I think people that are both good at working through analytical problems but also have love the freedom and wilderness of nature are particularly potent because they can both zoom in on problems but also zoom out to have a wider perspective.

Today, we’ll dig in to Max’s failures:

Forgetting he has a body
Assuming responsibility
Taking himself too seriously

For Ep 43, my guest is Ran Segall.

I’m sure this man needs no introduction to listeners of Webflail but for my mum who listens to these episodes who maybe doesn’t know him, Ran Segall is a full stack designer, content creator and owner of an online webflow school, Flux Academy.

I first came across Ran maybe 5 years ago when I watched one of his daily vlog videos. And I became pretty obsessed. He cycled through Tel A Viv on the way to client meetings, sat in his office explaining the structure of a landing page or sharing behind the scenes of his startup, Prospero. I think I and of lot people connected with Ran because he was curious, enigmatic and exceptionally clear at explaining complicated things in a simple manner.

This helps to explain the insane success of Flux Academy when it was first launched and planted the seed for the success to come. Flux eventually became the core focus and he has now built a team around him for the academy to be fully fledged and robust business.

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

not releasing original project files to client
working with friends and family without clear boundaries
working without a clear design brief

For Ep 42, my guest is Fateh Khodamoradi (fateh jadamoradi) better known as Kabarza.

Kabaraza is a fascinating member of the Webflow space as you are about to hear in this episode. You may know him from his involvement as a coach and creator for Flux Academy. He’s a Webflow designer and developer that is also building Flowing, a plug in that ensures you have built your Webflow site correctly by helping you do quality assurance checks before publishing. However, although Kabarza is flying high now in a stable life and career, he has had a challenging journey to get here. Kabarza immigrated from Iran to Germany in 2015 by crossing 9 borders and travelled 4,5000km. We talk a little bit about this during the recording.

The failures Kabarza talks about are:

Not seeing an absolute client red flag
Burnout after making 2 courses and getting hit by the issues in his home country.
Losing a huge client

Hello and welcome to episode 39 of Webflail. I’m your host, Jack, and today my guest is Matias Piters.

You will have probably seen him if you’re in the Webflow Twittersphere after he did his 100 days of clones. He was a designer that came across Webflow in 2014 when he was working for a digital design agency in New Zealand. However, he went all in on webflow in 2017. In 2019, Joe Krug from Finsweet reached out and asked him to join Finsweet and he worked there for over two years before deciding to start an agency called Bookmark. He is now focussing his practice on just dev!

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

Failure No 1 - Not standing by the price I gave to a client

Failure No 2 - Not sticking to the plans I make. This is both, personal and professional life. In the professional life this can be seen as not executing and a plan I already did to gain more client.

Failure No 3 - Stepping out of a closed deal because I was afraid I couldn't deliver.

More facts about carlos include that he’s Colombian, father of one, he lives in the forest, he has an epic YT channel and he’s a hardcore coffee drinker. Working full time for nicer studio based in the states.

The failures we talk about in this episode are:

For ep 37 of Webflail, I'm speaking to Thorir Runarsson

I met Thorir for the first time in real life a few days ago at the London Webflow meetup although I have spoken to him online in a café Nero with terrible wifi before that. Thorir founded Snowhouse Studio in 2020, the icelandic powerhouse of a studio. Exceptional partnerships and client projects have helped him grow fast (a mixed blessing as you are about to find out). He now has over 9 people working with him at the studio. Not only that but he’s a father of 3 too! He is crushing it in the webflow space.

Fails we talk about in this episode:

Growing too fast + hiring too quickly
The Unlimited Plan Subscription did not work for our agency.
Not knowing your numbers

Also, my beautiful mic wasn’t connected for this episode. anyway, my audio isn’t very good but luckily, thorir’s is and he is the man who you actually need to hear so hopefully it’s all good. Will check the mic is plugged in next episode. LOL.

Hello and welcome to episode 36 of Webflail.

I’m your host, Jack and today my guest is Connor Finlayson.

You probably already Connor if you are listening to a podcast all about Webflow freelancing but for those that haven’t, Connor is a no code weapon. On his YT channel with over 11K subs, he helps people who cannot code build their own online businesses with no code tools like Webflow, Airtable and Zapier.

Connor comes from a marketing background and then came across webflow in 2018 which helped him spin up landing pages fast. He wanted to get more freelance work so instead of building a portfolio website, he built a directory for freelancers and put himself at the top. He then built this in to the Unicorn Factory, a job board for New Zealand based freelancers. Now, it’s is his main source of income.

The failures we will talk about are:

Failure 1: Not pulling the plug on my first startup Hatcher sooner

Failure 2: Splitting my time between doing Facebook ads and no-code as a freelancer

Failure 3: Taking on too many projects at once

Hello and welcome to episode 34 of Webflail.

Today my guest is Diego Toda de Oliveira.

He is a brand designer and webflower based in Brasil.

He has been building websites for more than 10 years and he is probably best known for his use of motion in his websites.

As a Lottie files evangelist and a Spline expert, his portfolio website is like a trippy card scroll experience like free falling through award winning work.

He was recently an ADP List mentor and he is also a very active member of the Flow Party often on live streams helping Webflowers about pricing, portfolio creation and also helped to create the FlowParty Website!

Today, we'll talk about

Failure 1: Feeling too comfortable.

Failure 2: Live in my own bubble for too long.

Failure 3: Seeking perfection instead of accomplishment.

Hello and welcome to episode 33 of Webflail, the podcast dedicated to uncovering the greatest failures behind the greatest Webflowers. Because success often comes after learning from many failures.

I’m your host, Jack Redley, a failure connoisseur and today, and today my guest is Carter Ogunsola.

He is a 22 year old independent digital designer and developer based in Utah. With 3 Awwwards website and 1 CSS Design award and my feature on Muzli to his name. He’s an Adjunct Professor in design at Utah Tech. He has worked with Joseph Berry, Melissa Mendez, he’s very involved with Flow Party. He’s a pro in the game already and it’s really exciting to be interviewing be him.

The 3 failures Carter talks about are:

Starting an agency ( OG Creative) while in college without understanding what it meant and its implications
Closing shop on the agency because things didn’t work out with my previous partner and immediately jumped into another relationship starting another one which crumbled before it started.
Not quickly understanding how to balance an healthy work - life relationship and putting relationships in jeopardy.

Ep 32 of Webflail! Today's guest is KC Katalbas (known on Twitter as @kckatcreative)

I first came across KC first because she made a YouTube video titled ‘I made Tinder but just for fish in Webflow.’ After watching this video, KC’s highly functional, ruthlessly efficient, tech bro vibe made me want to watch more videos like ‘Turning a scrollbar into a baguette cause why not.’Jokes aside though, Kc puts a lot of interesting content on her channel so go check it out. After 3 years of freelancing, KC had her best year yet in 2022. Her business, Artsci studio, had 22 projects and KC got to the semi finals of the speed build challenge and 2023 looks even brighter.

The 3 failures Lysh wants to talk about are:

Your last job before you started to pursue FreelancingEverything about my very sad, very short lived mid pandemic call center job. This was the last job I had before I started to pursue Freelancing
Spending the first year working alone. I barely did any outreach or networking with other freelancers or agencies, and this definitely set me back professionally and emotionally.
Having a survive mindset rather than a growth mindset also for that first year. It took me a while to understand that I could build something really great out of freelancing rather than just having it be something that pays the bills

Ep 31 of Webflail! Today's guest is Alysha Laupama (known on Twitter as @lyshlau )

She has worked in business development and marketing and comms for the last few years before deciding to double down on Webflow after wanting to have a more creative role.

She made N2TF in September 2022 and since then, 233 people have joined the group. With challenges, show and tells and an extremely active community, Lysh was nominated for the rising start award at webflow conf at the end of last year.

Although she has not done Webflow very long, she is someone that I think will be extremely succesful since she is insatiably curious, always gives without expecting anything in return and works really hard on her craft.

The 3 failures Nancy wants to talk about are:

Not willing or recognizing the signs to pivot with client projects
Failing to recognize my expertise in the space
Failing to ask for specific feedback

Welcome to episode 30 of Webflail!

Today's guest is Nancy Peng. I first met Nancy in 2021 when working for an agency that specialised in working with churches in the States. Quite a random job. She was then the agency’s PM - extremely organised and detail orientated. Keen to transition to working in Webflow though, she worked hard to become a really competent webflower so much so that she entered Webflow speed build challenge in 2022 getting to the final 16. Fast forward to now and she works as a Webflow designer and developer for Slam Media Lab and Adaptable. She’s bossing life, I’m so pleased to have a chance to chat to her.

The 3 failures Nancy wants to talk about are:

Alessia is big on community - in November last year, Alessia created FlowTools, a collection of 56+ resources created by the Webflow community all in one place. She is also keen on mentorship having been involved in various startup programmes such as Startup Sprint, The Big Idea Challenge, Hack for Good and Creative Spark in London.

The 3 failures Alessia wants to talk about are:

Failing to realise overly crafted proposals may not help conversions
Failing to start doing retainers early enough

Ultimately, I want to leave a positive impact on the world through art & design.”

The 3 failures Dumeme wants to talk about are:

underpricing. BUT good opportunity to grow in!

He also has Dialogue With Designers, an interview series called Dialogue with designers that’s had Michael Janda and Dot Lung to name drop a couple of people in the series.

The 3 failures Arnau wants to talk about are:

I'd say taking on a nightmare of a client when I was really young and struggled to deal with it, that shit was a hell for me
not raising my prices sooner
I’d say working all the time is another

Welcome to episode 22 of Webflail. Today’s guest is legendary in the Webflow space, Mason Poe, founder of Edgar Allen Studio.

Edgar Allen won 3 awards this year at Webflow Conf including winning agency of the year - an incredible achievement and it’s easy to see why after listening to their dilligent founder in this interivew. As someone that’s been running his agency for almost 10 years, it’s clear that Mason’s experience gives him a unique insight in to Webflow as a platform and community. Mason talks about all sorts of different topics - how a rising tide lifts all the boats within the Webflow community, how anger is a gift, how Edgar Allen is working to be the tip of the spear for the enterprise market and ambitions for 2023.

The 3 failures we talk about are:

I failed the third grade. it was a painful time in my life, and I spent most of my time under a desk. (literally sitting under my desk) I struggled through school but in some ways I learned a lot about perseverance. (It kind of made me better at sales)
At my last job there was a time I embraced the idea of 'fail harder'... it was a nice motto but it also feed into this idea of hussle culture. Long story short I in the end did fail harder... and was fired from my last job.
When I was first starting my business I was working from 4:00 AM until 11:00 at night. At one point my daughter asked my wife... "is daddy coming over today"

Emily is a huge inspiration to me personally - she is The Great Design Lead podcast host (with over 83 episodes) and aggressively researches guests (so I have gone in researching this episode by the way), she is the founder of Podwork.io for podcasters to find guests and for potential guests to find podcasts to be on, and she is an UX designer and Webflower.

The 3 failures we talk about are:

1) Wanting to be a graphic designer and realizing that wasn't what I was most passionate about

2) Having my first big project go poorly at the copywriting and project transfer stage

3) Leaving a job that wasn't right for me without having another job lined up and being scared shitless for about 3 monthsb

For episode 20, my guest is Hamish Duncan. At 16, he became a professional snowboarder but at 22 he broke his back forcing him to rethink his life. After finding a love of storytelling and brand identity design, Hamish eventually set up Penny Black that transforms digital products that move businesses, people and planet forward.

What I love about this episode is the power of being a generalist. Hamish’ attributes some of his success is to do with knowing a little bit about a lot of things but a real depth of knowledge about business needs. Hamish has let all these different interests - photography, wildlife, snowboarding - inspire his design aesthetic and the clients he attracts.

Don’t be a clone is Hamish’ advice - make sure you don’t squash your general interests because it is what makes you truly distinct!

She is also the co-founder at NoCode North, an inclusive community of Canadian Webflowers and NoCode enthusiasts on a mission to network, to support, and to learn with our peers.

However, Maggy wasn’t always a Webflower. Coming from a film background, she used to craft props in the film industry. Maggy says, ‘I transferred my love for building things to designing and developing websites.’

1) Failing to find the right niche or focus on the right type of work

2) Failing to say "no" more often and be more selective

3) Failing to figure out my process early on for my design + dev work

Welcome to Episode 18 of Webflail with Yannick Lorenz (also known as Yaya).

3 years ago, he co-founded the a creative studio called Shadow. Believing it was the way to success and life he wanted, he hired stuff quickly, made up systems and processes as he went along for staff, and said yes to client requests to satisfy their demands. The combination of internal and external pressures almost forced Yaya to close Shadow but he managed to turn it around.

Now, he works on Crème which launched this year which curates opportunities for the world's top Webflow talent.

The three failures Yaya talks about in this episode are:

Failing to spot that he was hiring and growing his agency too fast
Failing to prevent debts, loans and too much risk
Failing to put in place processes and systems

Hello and welcome to episode 15 of Webflail, the podcast dedicated to uncovering the greatest failures behind the greatest Webflowers. Because success often comes after learning from many failures.

I’m your host, Jack Redley, a failure connoisseur and today, my guest is Matt Evans, Webflow Developer & UI Designer for 8020, a global no-code agency. Before this, Matt ran a subscribtion based coffee company and then blagged his way in to a project manager role in advertising. Fascinating story in to Webflow.

The three failures Matt talks about in this episode are:

1) Failing to appreciate that DONE is almost always better than PERFECT.

2) Failing to appoint "admin experts".

3) Failing to make time to speak with other professionals in the Webflow world.

For Episode 14, my guest is Ben Celinski, a Webflow designer and developer based in Ireland.

A few years ago, Ben was working as a lawyer in Poland and had no IT experience whatsoever. His path to where he is now was paved with many challenges, inspirations and wonderful people helping him move to UX, Webflow and Ireland which we will talk about.

For Episode 13, my guests today are Nkenna and Asmah.

In this episode we talk about:

1) Not having a website/portfolio to showcase our work early enough which meant clients couldn’t easily access our services and see how we solved similar problems for other brands

2) Not having detailed project agreements that protected us from project mismanagement, overspilling of project scope and payment structure

3) Not having a lead generation strategy to avoid the feast or famine cycle - while we were getting referrals, we weren’t putting any strategy in place to consistently stay fully booked

For Episode 12, my guest is my guest is Julian Kreth, founder of Agentur 201720, a data driven advertising agency based in Germany.

My favourite part of this episode is about the hiring process. The hiring process is something that we haven’t talked about a lot in Webflail so far despite the fact that it seems to plague a lot of freelancers trying to transition to agency owners. Julian’s process for hiring is enlightening not just for aspiring agency owners but freelancer’s too - by ensuring that hiring process is quite long with over 7 steps, it ensures it is a good fit for the candidate and the agency.

I hope you get as much out of this episode as I did!

The 3 failures we talk about in this episode are:

1) MONEY MANAGEMENT - Founding an event management company that failed after 1 event and what this taught Julian about money and expectations with his agency

2) HANDLING CLIENTS - Giving unlimited reviews to first website clients causing endless frustration

3) HIRING PROCESS - Hiring 6 of the wrong employees in our first year of the agency before working out a hiring process that worked

For Episode 11, my guest is Kaela Williams the founder of BTB studio, the studio that creates impactful brands and websites for business growth.

Kaela’s honesty about imposter syndrome was the part of this interview that was most thought provoking for me.

At the start of your journey, it’s a struggle. You’re putting in hours in to trying to get clients, learn skills, carefully think about your processes etc and even though you’re putting in tonnes of effort, you may not feel even half as good as other Webflowers that you see on social media. It can be quite debilitating to see people post their amazing work and wins that you are not having.

The 3 failures we talk about in this episode are:

1) Creating Systems In your Business

2) Letting impostor syndrome get in the way of opportunities

3) Not building balance into your week (being a workaholic/perfectionist)

For Episode 9, my guest is Felix Meens,an experienced digital designer and Webflow developer based in Finland and founder of Webflix Studio.

In this episode we talk about:

Failing to focus on only a key channel to get clients
Failing to stay calm under pressure with clients
Failing to negotiate projects as favours.

One of the biggest mistakes that Felix talked about, and that I made myself as a Webflow freelancer, is to focus on being relentlessly active on every platform and channel to get clients - Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, writing a newsletter, and more.

As Felix says, when you focus your marketing efforts on one of these channels in particular, and become more clued up on how that platform works, you are more likely to get consistent clients. The problem with trying to get clients everywhere is that you will spend hours learning the ins and outs of each platform and becoming a generalist marketer rather than just focussing on one or two platforms to get clients to be a Webflow freelancer.

Jenna Manthe is the founder of Holy Moly Creative Studio based in South Africa. She designing and develops Webflow websites that make you say ‘holy moly’.

The 3 “fails” that we cover in this interview are:

Comparison - comparing my journey to other journeys
Money - knowing the difference between being smart vs being stingy
Contracts - always making sure things are clear to avoid sticky situations; I have a specific situation with another designer that I’ll tap into but will also chat broadly about it

Want to learn more about Jenna? Check out her website at holymolycreativestudio.com

Ethan Suero is an independent designer specialising in helping startups build stunning brands and digital products that turn users into engaged customers.

While he used to just focus on brand identities, learning under the logo expert James Martin (IG: madebyjames) he has grown his skillset over the years to also become a webflow mestro; he is a professional partner with Webflow and he also works part time at Flux Academy helping new webflowers learn about UI/UX commenting on their portfolios and projects. In fact, this was when I first came across Ethan when he commented on my terrible first portfolio.

Ethan has 2 Awwwards nominations and has 12 CSS design awards in the categories of UI, UX, Special Kudos and Innovation categories. He’s worked with different industries; from video agencies to investor groups to F3 drivers, Ethan has experienced a lot in his career so far.

However, whenever someone has had great successes, there has often been great tests and failures to overcome to get there. Ethan is no different which we will dig in to today.

Dexter Washington is the founder of Crafted Studios, a studio focussed on making beautiful and effective websites. Clients include large corporate companies like Yahoo and Allegiant Airlines as well as some small, independent businesses like co-working spaces and restaurants. He has 4 partner agencies that he works with and his own personal website got an honourable mention award from Awwwards. All of this success within 2 years of setting up the agency in 2021. It’s hard to imagine Dexter would have many failures to talk about at all.

However, pursuing a creative career has not come easily to Dexter. From a rough upbringing, he struggled at school and had a tumultuous home life. Dealing with anxiety and with low self-esteem, he worked in retail for a lot of his 20’s but felt desperately unsatisfied. He started as a freelance photographer in 2012 and sharpened his aesthetic eye. Since then, he has worked in various creative fields from advertising, marketing and finally design founding Crafted Studios.

Dexter says, ‘I want to be able to say I did impactful gestures when it’s all said and done and I really do mean that.’

In this episode, we discuss:

1) Authenticity - Trying every new strategy I came across versus being myself authentically, posting and talking about the results and letting the work speak for itself.|

2) Culture - Not vetting people well enough and finding not only someone with good work and strong skills but a finding a good personality fit that meshes with our culture.

3) Success - Focusing too much on getting larger clients versus ones with a reasonable deadline, personality fit, and if it's a project we'd actually like to work on.

Melissa Mendez is a web designer and growth marketer based in Orlando Florida.

She went to study advertising at college and after joined Datagran, a machine learning company, that was growing really fast. However, the company’s messaging didn’t align with their visuals and so Melissa re-designed and rebuilt their website with Webflow, as her first website. Conversion rates skyrocketed and the company grew even faster.

Melissa then pursued making websites as a freelancer and kept growing consistently getting clients. She grew her skillset and started making more and more impressive websites using Webflow. Melissa started Eurecah studio with her husband who is also a Webdesigner, and earlier this year, she started the Webflow Party with Keith Armstrong. Webflow Party is a community of Webflowers teaching, growing and sharing.

It feels as if Melissa is now everywhere in the Webflow community and it’s hard to imagine she has had many failures along her journey as a freelancer. However, as with anyone who has pushed their comfort zones to extraordinary degrees like Melissa has, Melissa has had her ups and downs too.

We go deep in to:

1) Financial Responsibility - how lack of financial literacy almost ruined her business

2) Hustle Culture - how working incessantly was causing problems with her relationship

3) Naivety - how thinking you're the next Jeff Bezos is dangerous for you and loved ones

Hope you enjoy!
