Webflow is a web-development platform; used for creating websites without coding skills, which makes it efficient for people who have no desire to learn how to code. It allows designers to build websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a visual canvas. Designers can put together a professional looking website in a matter of minutes without having to do to much.
With Webflow, there's more room for customization compared to other platforms like Wix or Squarespace. Also, you can create a website from scratch or use a template provided on Webflow.
How To Get Started?
To get started, first using the browser of your choice, you have to create an account on webflow.com. After signing up, create a new project, and click on the "Designer" page or the "Editor" .
Before getting started, there are a guides to show you the different tools and their uses. These guides are available to help you settle in more quickly, and if you're familiar with web design using html, CSS and JavaScript, you'll find that the tools are similar.

Let's start with the add element option, situated at the left corner of the page.
This sections contains various options to help you set up your page. Examples are layout, grid, column, and container.
We can create a section on the page, and add different things within the section. What this means is, If we give the entire section a background we can also add different things on-top of it.
On the right corner of the page is where we can edit everything from the background, to the font-size to the borders and effects etc.
To be able to use Webflow efficiently, you must first understand the dashboard and all it entails, and the best part is that as a beginner, web-flow provides a guide to show you the necessary steps to take when creating a website from scratch.
I would suggest that before you begin, take a few minutes to examine the use of all the tools on the editor.
You probably would not be able to learn all at once until you start putting it into practice, and a little introduction to the basic would help you find your way.
