At Webflow Conf 2023, the platform introduced a series of innovative features designed to take website building to the next level. Over the last decade, Webflow has been the backbone behind the online presence of industry giants like Dropbox, Discord, and IDEO, as well as creative powerhouses like Social Driver, Whiteboard, and Outliant. This year's announcements promise to supercharge the possibilities of what can be achieved with Webflow.
The Next Generation of Webflow: What's New?
1. Integrative 3D Capabilities with Spline
3D offers a unique depth that makes websites and projects pop. With Webflow’s new integration with Spline, a renowned web-based 3D design tool, users can now effortlessly craft interactive 3D designs and immersive visuals, setting their websites apart from the competition.
2. Localization: Taking Your Business Global
One of the most anticipated features, Webflow's Localization, aims to simplify the process of tailoring websites for global audiences. With current platforms either being too reliant on developers or compromising on design control, Webflow's solution offers businesses:
- Customization of every website element for a particular region, from design elements to content, all without the need for coding.
- Seamless integration with machine-powered translations through partner apps or any chosen Translation Management System (TMS).
- Enhanced SEO capabilities tailored for multiple regions.
This feature is pivotal for businesses aiming for a global footprint. It streamlines the process of setting up multilingual sites, ensuring that visitors worldwide get a seamless and personalized browsing experience.
3. Unparalleled Design Control with Variables
Variables are a game-changer for designers. They allow for the storage of values like colors, fonts, and sizes. Changing a variable updates it across the entire website, ensuring consistent design and faster execution.
For businesses, this means a more consistent brand presentation, and for designers, it's a significant reduction in repetitive tasks. Variables ensure that the design remains fluid, dynamic, and consistent across all web pages.
4. Elevated Component Capabilities
Webflow has enhanced the power and usability of its components. With the new upgrades, managing and building with components is more straightforward. Plus, with the introduction of slots, Webflow components now align closely with the capabilities of React components.
This enhancement ensures greater flexibility in design. Clients can expect easier updates, increased consistency across their site, and a more cohesive user experience.
