Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q Or having to make that switch over. What is the timeframe for like doing all of this? For example, let's say you have, let's say you have 10 pages and you want to switch over. Um, and let's assume you have Figma files that you can work with, which we do. How long does it take? How long does it take on average?
A Yeah. So based on that, I mean, it can take from three to six weeks. I mean, sometimes up to three months, depending on how, uh, how large the feature set is for the website. But let's say the most basic website you can develop and QA it properly, like an agency, like in-house in just three weeks for, let's say, 10 pages. And that's where the most of the, of the speed of Webflow is coming from. And, and that's kind of honestly my biggest problems with the agency. Uh, because with WordPress, you had long development times, you had maintenance, and then you can kind of scale the agency pretty easily. Whereas as we are here kind of just on a runway, like the longest client is around three to six months. Like that's, that's the longest client amount. And then you're just kind of crushing out items, uh, which is fun for developers and designers because they can always build something new and just kind of get stuck into that repetitive process. But then in the end, it's a little bit scary just because you don't have a lot of secure cashflow in the end.

Q that it sounds a little more complicated for someone like me who I've done website. I've built websites before, but I never learned CSS. Like I learned HTML. You know, I, I learned a little bit of JavaScript, I guess, but like, I don't know anything about CSS and like, I'm sure I could learn, but I'd rather not. I'd rather like pay someone else to do it, you know?
A Yeah, yeah, that's true. I feel like Webflow is doing maybe a little bit of a bad marketing on that side, just because everybody's coming into Webflow expecting it to be completely no code. They're like that any, I mean, that their whole kind of mission for the future that anybody can build a website. But at the moment, how the situation is kind of, kind of going at the moment is for every single client, we're writing a lot of custom JS. So you're going to have a custom calculator. You're going to have a custom onboarding flow, kind of a custom integration with greenhouse or whatever. And all of that is going to require JS work, API integration, uploading it to AVS and et cetera, et cetera. But that's us, we are an agency. And then also kind of, if you're a designer, if you're passionate about frontend development, you're going to do great. But if you're just expecting everything to work as in Figma, just kind of dropping things in and positioning everything absolute, like in Wix or whatever, that's not going to be the case. You need to build everything from the ground up. So like kind of positioning the wrapper, positioning the section, the container, then the grid, Then what goes into the grid, like a column, then a heading, then having a global heading, et cetera, et cetera. So it takes the whole development process, but you're just building visually. You're never going to w…

Q and things before I moved to Asia. So that was like, 2005, 2006. WordPress was incredible. It was like this huge sea change of how you develop things or how you design websites. And so how, how can someone understand the difference? Just like a very, very basic level. Like why is Webflow better than WordPress? Why should people be thinking about Webflow to build their websites instead of WordPress?
A Yeah, so I actually, I mean, I was really a kid at that time, kind of, when you started using WordPress, actually, but I feel like Webflow is probably kind of the game-changing tool as WordPress was at, let's say, in 2008, because you're going to have the possibility to build everything on your own terms. So instead of, let's comparing it to a pop-up, instead of kind of buying a plugin for a pop-up, you're going to be architecting how the pop-up looks, when does it appear, or at which time, kind of, do you want to add cookies or custom code for that? Um, then in terms of any other plugins, basically you're going to be able to either write custom code or develop everything in Webflow pretty easily, kind of with zero code, uh, kind of possible. Then on the other side, you're going to have the, the most quality code possible that Webflow is going to be pushing out. So kind of, you're not going to be worried about speed, lighthouse tests, kind of SEO, and all of those, uh, kind of parts that are pretty important for the website. I've seen the kind of WordPress For any specific SEO, you're going to require Yoast SEO or kind of additional plugins for that. Whereas in Webflow, all of that is going to be integrated. And then kind of with just kind of building the website on your own terms, kind of the more benefits coming with Webflow are its own CMS, because, uh, in WordPress for comp…

Q cool to play around with Webflow, but I don't know anything about it. So let's assume I'm an individual kind of solo entrepreneur in that regard. How would I get started with understanding Webflow and possibly playing around with it? You know, assuming I, I don't have a budget to work with someone like you to, to design it, you know, to do it for you, do it for me.
A Yeah, yeah, of course. I feel like Webflow is really different from any other platform in that case, just because they have their own university. So, I mean, there are many courses you can pay for whatever online, but I don't think any of them are worth it. Webflow has technically created a movie like set for kind of all of their tutorials and you can go on the university and let's say in a month, you're going to be able to create a pretty simple website afterwards. So on your side, you're not going to have some advanced features, some advanced functionalities or whatever. So just going to Webflow University and then kind of you're going to be all set by watching a lot of tutorials completely for free. And then afterwards, another great part about Webflow is the community itself, because I haven't seen anybody that committed to the community, uh, just because Webflow was pretty small and like it was really dedicated to the community. Anything you search for, you're going to either find a YouTube video kind of maybe by me or by other agencies that are kind of doing that for free. There is a forum, so any question you post, like somebody from the forum is going to answer you, or somebody might actually have that problem, so you're going to be able to see how to fix that, kind of, in general on the forum. And that's all, only if you want to learn Webflow actually, kind of, how it …

Q Okay. Let's, let's discuss this just real fast. So my company is from Singapore. I'm American. We use a German Uh, I think our, our Google server is in Germany, just because we really don't want to deal with American servers. So how does a, how does an American company be GDPR compliant and use Webflow together?
A So you can be GDPR compliant up to a point. So like, you know, we do custom cookies, uh, kind of to defer all of the scripts and everything like that. The way we develop it, we download Google fonts and kind of many of those small features. Uh, but then in the end, the final piece of hosting is going to be a problem. So you're going to use, you're going to have to use other softwares that are basically pulling from the Webflow hosting, removing some of the Webflow scripts, because for example, Webflow JS is always going to be sending data to Webflow in this core in the US. And then re-uploading that on another server without that kind of data and having it that live that way. So it's a little bit of a pain if you want to be fully GDPR compliant, but we see that many companies in the end, not actually don't care, but don't actually go to that extent. They implement everything possible on Webflow and just kind of have it there as Webflow is slowly working on GDPR. Like they have it in their kind of roadmap. So hopefully when They have released GDPR compliance fully on Webflow. Um, I have no idea what's going to be the, the kind of final timeline. Maybe by that point, the GDPR kind of laws are going to become even stricter that they get, uh, kind of some, uh, fines or whatever on the, on that side.
