CEO @Webflow where we're shaping the future of marketing. I also build products, burn popcorn, watch *a lot* of sports, send cat gifs & throw dice.

Webflow's p95 cms publish time down 61–69% for most of our customers.
Our CMS publish copy step used to pull content out of the database and write it back in batches, and now it runs inside the database. The fastest network hop is the one you delete ;)
🚢 Let's go!
Webflow's MCP now reaches deeper into a live site. Add interactions built on IX3 and @greensock . Sort and filter CMS content in a single request. Deploy, check status, or debug a Webflow Cloud app. All without leaving the tool you're already working in.

Sometimes it’s all about the small wins 😉

The way we design and build is changing, and so are how companies help builders create.
@Webflow is one of those companies.
It's shifting from a website design platform to a fully agentic marketing platform.
(and we have the details for you)
We just interviewed CEO, @YayLT who shares:
1. Why she thinks the internet is filling up with "garbage": only ~200M of the 1.2B live websites out there are actually real, active businesses.
2. Why AI capability isn't a strategy, and what she thinks the real moat is (taste).
3. How enterprise software pricing is shifting from seats to outcomes.
4. Why AI didn't kill the SDR job, it just changed what the job is.
5. What keeps her up at night running a $4B company through this pace of change.
6. Her line on the "one employee, millions of agents" narrative:
"With AI you only need one employee and then millions of agents and have everything run agentically. Go watch Netflix. We are not there."
Full episode out now. This is a must watch!

And it won’t look the same for engineers vs GTM (sales / marketing) folks.
Webflow is building something which will help modern marketing team build their systems without learning these underlying primitives.
Stay tuned for #wfc and if you haven’t already, signup now. webflow.com/webflowconf
the thing that displaces github wont:
have a login with github button
have prs
wont have async ci / an actions like primitive
it will meet teams where they already work
produce an unbelievable amt of confidence in a unit of work
generally be so unlike github
its the end of an era but believe better things are yet to come

1/ We built Webflow so you'd never have to see your own site's code. In 2013, that was the right call.

NEW Web Dev Challenge premieres in 12 minutes!
@cassiecodes joins as the advisor to challenge @shshaw, @DavidKPiano, @iljavaneck, @codebydennis, and Henry Desroches to build the greatest animated landing page using @greensock and @webflow (link in thread)

I think we just had a major breakthrough in how code and visual editing are one and the same thing without burning any tokens.
More to come.
Great conversation with @sophiebuona on @GTMnow_ about something I keep coming back to: your website is now the living source of truth that bots and agents read to understand you and represent you across every channel. It's not just a human destination anymore. It's a multi-channel endpoint.
We’re building the Webflow Conf ’26 speaker lineup right now, and applications close May 20.
If you’ve been working on something bold at the intersection of design, development, marketing, or AI, we want to hear your pitch! WFC is my favorite event of the year that brings together the best of the best to share ideas and jam. The best sessions always come from folks with strong opinions and awesome learnings. Bring your wisdom to our stage!
15–45 minutes. Any format. September 1–3 in Boston and online.

Make your agents go brrrr on Webflow.
🚢🚢🚢DevLink Export is now GA. DevLink connects designers and developers through a shared component system via the @webflow CLI.
Export to code: webflow devlink export
Import to Webflow: webflow devlink import
Let's dig into how your whole team, and AI agents can work with Webflow CLI.🧵
