Hello and welcome to episode 103 of Webflail.
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Theo RolandTheo is a man you have no doubt come across on your escapades in the world of Webflow but just in case you haven’t, he’s leading the charge in the Francophone Webflow community.
What does Francophone mean? It means french speaking.
He’s french and runs InitWeb, which includes a frenchspeaking Webflow community, InitClub (1043 people in the slack), as well as bootcamps, self-paced courses and other resources.
Before this, he was a freelancer that taught people online.
On YouTube, he has 1.43K subscribers•114 videos
So, he’s a Webflow Expert & Global Community Leader, but has it always been this way?
Has it always been as dreamy as a float down the river seine with a bottle of vin rouge?
NO!
The failures that we will talk about today are:
The failure of launching a studio alongside early-stage training. Unable to scale quickly enough -> Abandonment of this premature project in 2021, project revival in 2024.The failure in emotionally managing all the help requests from the Francophone Webflow Community Slack. Unable to respond to everyone -> Acceptance of the need to allow others to respond and understanding how to sustain a community independently.The failure to properly understand the content expected by the Community and the Learners of the training. Better tracking of needs and gamification to encourage completion. -> Fewer basic questions, more technical questions, easier content creation.

Hello and welcome to episode 102 of Webflail.
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Nikolai Bain.This man isn't just slicked back hair and a glorious moustache. He's also a formidable Webflower.
He’s currently focussing on growth tactics
In his own words, he builds thoughtful websites for businesses that are about to launch, in need of a refresh, or ready to scale
More Nikolai facts:
49 templates in the Webflow template libraryWorked with clients in industries such as carbon footprinting technology, data analytics and digital advertising5.81K followers on the YT76 videos recorded and publishedSo, he’s in his twenties, his consistent YT publishing, his dry sense of kiwi humour have helped him fly like Icarus but has he flown too close to the sun sometimes.
Like Icarus...Turns out he is fallible. He does fail sometimes.
The failures that we’ll discuss today are:
Side project failure: https://www.localfinds.co.uk/ - a client generation failureWork failure: working with an agency that is a bad fit and not getting paidFreelancing failure: failing to pick a video content niche and therefore getting too many different types of projects requests

Hello and welcome to episode 101 of Webflail.
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephanie Bruce.
She’s a digital Designer and Framer/Webflow Developer that worked on OFF GRID & 10X Conference websites.
She has got a great eye for design - you know when you look at premium work and just go GODDAMN.
That’s how I feel whenever I see posts from Stephanie on social of beautiful mock ups and renders.
Speaking of renders, she’s also doing a lot more 3D work too recently being involved in the FlowParty course so excited to chat to her about that and more
She’s freelancing like a boss.
BUT HAS IT BEEN EASY?
The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:1. Poor time underestimating
2. Not appreciating the importance of networking and sharing work
3. Feeling the pressure to keep up with design trends

So, for the 100th episode, I decided to get the big guns in, fly to SF and do this bad boy in person with the CEO (at the time) and co-founder of Webflow, Vlad Magdalin.
Vlad came to US as a refugee with his parents from Russia.
He learnt graphic design almost by accident when he worked with his entrepreneurial dad asked him to convert catalogues from english to Russian.
This lead to a job with a company called Russian American media → deepened his interest in graphics and then 3D animation.
At college, he studied computer science but dropped out to go to the academy of art in San Francisco.
The technical aspect of sophisticated 3D and animation tools and feeling like he was getting superpowers really interested Vlad.
He dropped out of art school and got a job at a design agency.
Why can’t web designers design stuff and hit publish to be live on the web just like 3D - render something and it’s live on the screen
As you may have guessed, this spark was the catalyst for Webflow.
Webflow now has over 200,000 users and is over $100 million annual revenue.
And it was an easy ride with no failures whatsoever.
No no no dear Webflailer… it wasn’t quite this easy.
The failures that we’ll talk about today are:
1) Not valuing himself when he went back to freelancing – until a client rejected my invoice for $750 and said that to him the site is worth at least $5k
2) Stopping to work on Webflow in 2008 (for the 3rd time) when there was a trademark issue and I couldn’t use that name – combined with Weebly raising money
3) (Not sure if I can talk about this one publicly yet… noodling on it) Getting too caught up in the no-code hype and trying to do too much (e.g. Logic) before fully nailing the fundamentals (e.g. CMS)

Today my guest is Vimalan Vijayskaran, the founder of ViDesigns.
Hiring the wrong people / unable to delegateFailing to scope the project properly & set expectationsTook too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad
He's three years into his agency journey. He has successfully completed, along with his five -man team, over 200 Webflow projects, partnering with top global brands such as Red Bull, Tony Blair Institute, London Interdisciplinary School and loads of other people, obviously.
Now in 2022, they expanded their horizons by venturing into product development. They have built to date six different products and they have over 25 ,000 active monthly users.
These include Formly, FlowPlay, VDS, Chrome extension, FlowPilot, VDS Webflow extension and Bulk SEO.
I'd be surprised if you guys hadn't used at least one of those in the last week alone.
Interestingly, he's worked for Finsuite, Code and Wonder and Hans Springer Labs.
This was all before he started his own studio. We'll get into that and much more in this episode. But of course, it's not all been smooth sailing. This kind of growth does not come with some growing pains.
The fails that we talk about in today's episode are hiring the wrong people slash unable to delegate, failing to scope the project properly and set expectations and taking too long to understand that retainers aren't that bad.
So, embrace and learn from failure in episode 98 of Webflail with Virmalam

Today my guest is Chloe Daly.
Designing, leading, marketing, SaaS products and high conversion websites is her thing.
She is a killer UI UX designer. Her practice is focused on data informed human centered solutions containing various UI UX design and methodologies.
Now, what's interesting about Chloe is she is doing not just her full time job, but she's also slowly doing her agency.
So she's working full time as a product designer at Peak, which is based in Manchester and the UK and then she's doing a few projects outside of her job as well and slowly growing that.
So as you're about to hear, she is on a roll.
She's working with clients like Foot Locker by day and then her own freelance clients by night.
But has it been easy? Of course not guys. You know the drill by now. Episode 97. You've heard me say this a few times already.
The failures are:
1) Knowing if a project for you or not
2) Not knowing business skills earlier
3) Not getting contracts signed even with friends

Today, my guest is David Anierobi!
Some David facts:
He’s a designer and web developer located somewhere in Amsterdam (currently although he's a digital nomadding around at this stage of life)He’s passionate about education too - with a YouTube channel with 2.12K subs where he teaches tips about Webflow, and a mentorship program called unlocking the power of Webflow, the man shares as much as he devs.He freelances with clients and also freelancing for agencies.He’s probably got one of the biggest smiles out there in the Webflow space.His philosophy in life is "I can do all things... if given the right opportunity and chance to" which is beautiful - he’s hustled and bustled to get to the position that he’s in in life. BUT, has it been easy? Has it always been predestined?
Or has he had some face-plants and failures along the way that have given him the insights he needed to succeed?!The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:
1) Not understanding the business of freelancing. Not getting full disclosure Or details for a project and it didn’t end well.
2) Being too positive made you lose a good gig. Never saying “NO”. This is a situation I still battle with 😆
3) Placing more focus on tools rather than people and connection

Today my guest is Dan Hardaker.
Dan is the Director of Digital Design and co-owner at Proctor + Stevenson.
P+S is one of the UK’s longest-established full-service marketing agencies, offering business-to-business marketing strategy, branding and technology.
Dan is one of the longest-serving employees there having been there for 11 years and 8 months.
Clients include Panasonic, Epson & South West Water.
But if this agency is such a well-established and more traditional agency, you might think that
they are not stuck in their ways, stuffy and less forward thinking.
Far from it - this agency is quick to adopt new technology and Dan is hyper aware of available tools and tech out there.
Their new website, built on Webflow, and explorations of how to use Webflow more broadly with enterprise clients are helping to push the UK Webflow market forward. We’ll get in to this more in today’s episode.
You might think life has always been pretty rosy for Dan if you look at him now with a formidable team, enterprise clients and beautiful office in the heart of Bristol.
But as you may have guessed, there’s been some fundamental fails to learn from to get here.
The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:
1) Clear Communication
2) Comprehensive Testing
3) Due Diligence in HiringSAVVYCAL

Hey Webflailers!
Today, my guest is Keegan Leary.
Keegan Leary, otherwise known as Webbae, is somewhat of a legend in the Webflow community.
After having served 10 years in the Navy as a submarine officer, he graduated from coding bootcamp (Hack Reactor)
He then went on to Upwork and was top ranked (100% Job Success score, 20+ ratings, only 5-star ratings)
He then I’m diving headfirst into becoming a better programmer by teaching others on my YouTube channel and offering tools and apps (7.55k)
Since then, he's launched:
Webflow 201 course → Patreon → Clip Bae → Asset Bae
When he’s not on the tools, you may find running up hills trail running and backpacking with his wife Heather. For fun.
He’s at the peak? Or is here? And did he stumble on his path to success?
The fails we’ll talk about in the episode are:
1) Almost sinking a sub in port...
2) Failures with restore from backup
3) Pricing his 201 course...BONSAI

Hello and welcome to episode 88 of Webflail.
The 3 week project that turned into 3+ years…Ignoring the scary S word… Not running things like a businessFocus, Focus, Focus
I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Stephen Wise.
He’s a creator and entrepreneur. He started as a freelance web designer but now he does a range of things like writing, making videos, running his agency, DEMAND FLOW.
He’s obsessed with figuring out how we can live better and build profitable internet businesses.
Demandflow is design and development on demand for different subscription packages.
There are now 7 people in the agency despite only launching in 2022.
So, the agency is moving in the right direction and he seems to be managing to maintain a balanced lifestyle too but has it always been rosy?
The failures that we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:OPTIBASE

Episode 87 of the Webflail podcast is with Rob Hope! Yo! Podcast creator, One Page Love Founder and prolific creator with over 15 other projects that were either sold or slowed...
Rob was a freelancer for a decade designing and building websites for clients BUT HE NOTICED A PROBLEM
Clients used adjectives to describe what they wanted for websites but there wasn’t Godly or Landing Love like there is now.
So Rob started collecting website references to show to clients
As you may have guessed, this led to the creation of ONE Page Love. Since 2008, he’s curated over 8,000 single page websites.
Now Rob is a prolific creator.
He’s started dozens of other projects from hosting companies to audio recording apps, to domain names to a Music social network and blog creator called Rock Lifestyle.
Of course, some worked, some didn’t.
One Page love has been far from smooth sailing too. If you are one of the OGs that’s listened to 86 episodes of the pod, you know some of the most successful people have had some of the most epic fails…
The failiures we’ll talk about in this episode are:1) Starting a hosting company
2) Going all in on one stream of monetization on One Page Love
3) Hiring someone full time when it wasn’t right

Today my guest is Jess Rosenberg. Jess is an obscenely talented individual.
Jess is a design & creative leader, designer, manager, ideas person with 18+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories in differentiated and breakthrough ways.
You may know her because she was the director of Brand Design & Creative at Webflow - she scaled Brand Studio team from 8 to 18 in under two years.
She’s worked at Twitter, Cloudflare, Mural, Webflow and her ideas and leadership have influenced many tools and products you use today which is wild.
And she’s just launched a podcast called Ladies Who Create with Liz Meyer which is excellent with guests such as Grace Walker, Jessica Strelioff & Danielle LaRoy and Steph Jeong
Basically, she’s a big deal.
The failures we discuss are:
1) Desiring to be liked by everyone as a manager early on
2) Imposter syndrome
3) Being hands on in the work

Today my guests are Tim Janes and Dan Foster, co-founders of MakeBuild Studio - a design and innovation studio from London in the UK.
Tim’s background as a visual designer and Dan’s background digital designer and UX consultant meant these 2 were a power duo when starting Makebuild 4 years ago.
Though they have designed and built a lotttt of Webflow websites, they have also been experimenting emerging technologies like AR. In fact, recently, they made an AR project with Fruitella - the sweet brand. To help launch a new jelly sweets, they created a world and then select a creature which you could see in your living room on your phone screen.
Makebuild have recently hired Liam Mews and Greg Faulkner so they’re flying high and growing a team but we want to know about how they got here don’t we?!
The failures that we’ll talk about in this episode are:1) Not scaling up the team early enough
2) Not niching down early enough
3) Not focusing on producing great work

Today my guest is Uros Mikic. He’s Founder and CEO of Flow Ninja Studio, an award-winning Webflow agency working with clients like Upwork.
Since 2015, they have successfully led more than 100+ Webflow projects worldwide.
He has a team of 40 people and his team is in Serbia. They have products like Data Goat, Six Star App & more
At the 2023 Webflow London meetup, Uros introduced me to Rakia which, I later found out, gives terrible hangovers.
He has a killer YT channel where he shares stories behind building in-house team of 40 people and how you can leverage website strategy and Webflow to grow your digital presence.
But how is he so driven? And what ups and downs has he had on route to success?
The failures we'll talk about in today's episode are:
Scaling the team too fast - track numbers and profitabilityManagement style - how bad a manager he isThe office - one of ROIOPTIBASE
