How to Become a Certified Webflow Expert (3 Steps!)

[@rafaelrabl]

Where are you in the Webflow journey? Beginner, Pro or Expert?

[@abdimaalikmohamuud725]

beginner, Thanks for your information👌

[@rafaelrabl]

@abdimaalikmohamuud725 Awesome, you will get there 👍

[@blakeweissman]

Right now, I got my first major client $4,500 for the site. So far, so good! I'm looking for more communities. Any suggestions?

[@tonystarkmowa]

created my very first landing page on figma and i searched for webflow and here i am

[@Sa-pq1xf]

Beginner.. but coming from full stack still skeptical 😅.. I believe it is important to know nocode these days 👍

[@folaseyi6739]

I passed my webflow 101 course today so happy

[@rafaelrabl]

Awesome, congrats!! You can crush the other ones too :)

[@dialac1]

Thanks for this video. I am a registered nurse but my younger brothers are web developers and web designers so I will share your video with them. I also subscribed to your channel even tho this is not my career field but it helps with inspiration

[@rafaelrabl]

That’s awesome how you’re looking out for your brothers 🙏🏽 hope I can give value, more to come soon. All the best to you

[@garethellison01]

Really insightful video. Thank you. 🙏

[@rafaelrabl]

Love to hear it, thanks for tuning in 🙏🏽

[@henrythomas7112]

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[@rafaelrabl]

Glad you found it valuable! More to come :)

[@aseojoel]

Thank you so much! Didn't know Webflow has free certifications.

[@rafaelrabl]

Yeah, they’re such an easy way to market yourself!

[@itsvietquoc]

Helpful video on my journey, many thanks Rafael

[@rafaelrabl]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@patrickspiegel]

Super Video! Just going through the process myself so looking forward to getting it completed.

[@rafaelrabl]

Epic, hope it goes well! Just checked out your channel, super valuable content man. Lets keep in touch 🙌🏽

[@patrickspiegel]

Hört sich gut an. Looking forward to connecting!@@rafaelrabl

[@aligaba5071]

great video very well put and the music is great , would be great if you made a video about starting your journey in webflow as a beginner like the process from the start to doing freelance or getting a job , well done again thanks !!!

[@rafaelrabl]

Great idea, already working on it :)

[@pixelgeek]

Hope many leads have you received since you posted this video? And how many did you actually close? I'm asking honestly because I've had none and I've been using Webflow for 10 years

[@imshaiksaif]

I feel the same, I think upwork and linkedin are better platforms for getting good leads.

[@rafaelrabl]

Good question. I’m currently not doing KZbin to find leads but to share my ideas and hopefully help people achieve their dream career :) For finding leads its probably more effective to put out content where your clients already are: probably LinkedIn, facebook groups, instagram. I’m sure you’ll crush it. All the best

[@Gojiyaravi]

I want more videos on Webflow. Can you please make a free course or tutorials for real website?

[@rafaelrabl]

I got you! More videos specifically for Webflow are already on the way 🙌🏽 any specific challenge you are currently facing?

[@Gojiyaravi]

@@rafaelrabl I am completely beginner and I want to get started in Webflow. I have 6 years of experience in WordPress field but I have heard great things about Webflow so I want to learn that as well.

[@HrissW]

What do you think, what will be the timeline to go from 0 to getting clients as Webflow dev?

[@rafaelrabl]

Somewhere between 3 to 12 months, depending on how much effort you put in 🙌🏽 my next video will go more in depth on this topic.

[@webdesignlondon]

How long could this take roughly? If you spent an hour a day learning or applying your webflow knowledge?

[@rafaelrabl]

Great question! The time it takes to become a Webflow expert can vary depending on your prior experience with web design and development. However, if you spend about an hour a day learning and applying your Webflow knowledge, you could start feeling comfortable with the basics in 1-2 months. To reach an advanced level and become an expert, it might take you 6-12 months of practice. This includes not just using Webflow but also understanding web design principles, CSS, responsive design, and interaction design. The key is building real projects - that way you learn 10X faster. Good luck!

[@lastspoil5547]

Will the Webflow 101 teach us enough to become a webflow freelancer? I'm also learning web design. So my title is web designer.

[@rafaelrabl]

If you go through all the courses you will know a lot already - definitely ready for your first clients by then 👍

[@lastspoil5547]

@@rafaelrabl thank you!

[@wetsand7379]

Which Webflow videos do you need to watch to pass the layout level 2 cert?

[@rafaelrabl]

The course on Webflow University called "CSS layout & positioning" should cover that!

[@wetsand7379]

@@rafaelrabl thank you!

[@AzeezalamAziz-od4np]

From where to hunt client?

[@rafaelrabl]

I touch on finding clients in the latest video. Should we dive deeper on this topic? 🙌🏽

[@scut55]

Could you share the client websites you submitted as part of your application to Webflow?

[@rafaelrabl]

Great idea, a more in-depth video about how to get accepted for the Expert program is in planning. Any specific things you are struggling with?

[@FloNocode]

Hi , i would like to know about 3 website, you say you are rejected more times, but you don't explain why ? That's will be interesting to know what it is the difference on your website when you are accepted and when you are rejected. Can you give somes tips who help us to take the right direction please ?

[@rafaelrabl]

I wasn’t rejected but I have read that many people have been. Unfortunately they don’t give clear reasons for why - but a video is coming soon for the guidelines on getting accepted :)

[@FloNocode]

@@rafaelrabl okay okay we waiting for you for the guidelines. Thanks

[@harshrajrathi8063]

Hey do we coding to learn this

[@rafaelrabl]

No absolutely not necessary! Webflow University and client first is your best place to start learning 🙏🏽

[@saiyednabeel1200]

Hi i didnt have 3 client how will i submit 3 website

[@rafaelrabl]

Excellent questions. It’s completely okay if you start out with 3 personal projects. Just make sure they are tailored to the clients you eventually want to have. More on this in the latest video :)

[@W3ldinG]

Great content but you need to tune your mic. There's a echo =)

[@rafaelrabl]

Thank you!! Quality will be much improved in the next videos :)

[@meowmads]

Can you use relume templates to build your portfolio sites, or does it have to be from scratch

[@rafaelrabl]

They don’t mention anything about libraries like Relume in the guidelines. Should be fine though, since they use the client first approach

[@tomsdesign_]

Is using css frameworks like MAST not recommended for the sites you want to present for the Expert Certification?

[@rafaelrabl]

Good question, as of now Webflow doesn’t give very concrete guidelines for the application. But should be fine when building with MAST. If you can, go with client-first tho.

[@shinobi_coder88]

3:17 - Hi Rafael, how many questions on the exam in total? We need to complete all questions within 30 mins right?

[@rafaelrabl]

No you can take as much time as you need for the exam. And it’s 25 questions if I recall correctly 👍🏽

[@shinobi_coder88]

@@rafaelrabl Thanks Rafael, and if possible, can you share the specific study resource for each certification exam? Like where can we find one for Layout Level 1, etc...

[@rizzlybea]

[@ravindrakumarshrivastava7805]

is it nessesary that i have to buy my domain and host from workflow?

[@rafaelrabl]

No you can buy your domain from anywhere. To host a site you will always need to use Webflow, it doesn’t allow for custom hosting. I can make a video explaining domains and hosting with Webflow if that’s interesting?

[@digitalsketchguy7844]

@@rafaelrablNot correct. You can export code and host your site anywhere but you lose the cms & ecommerce options.

[@CLIPFILM888]

i am old, can i still get the certificate and the job after it ?

[@rafaelrabl]

Absolutely, age doesn’t really matter for becoming a successful webflow pro :)
