Content Themes
Explores topics related to web design, freelancing, AI in content marketing, and the evolution of tools like Webflow, with episodes covering themes such as global career building in design, the impact of AI on SEO, and frameworks in Webflow development.
I’m Janne Parri, your Webflow Wingman from Finland. In this podcast, I chat with designers, developers, and creative minds from around the world about Webflow, freelancing, and the creative life.
In this episode I talk with Dan Foster, co-founder and technical director at MakeBuild, a Webflow Enterprise agency based in London. We get into Webflow's recent announcement about making code the source of truth for the platform, what that could mean for designers and developers, and why it might matter most for agencies working with bigger clients. Dan shares how MakeBuild has grown from two freelancers into a team of twenty, what their design, build, and grow model looks like in practice, and how they used Webflow Cloud to build a full production web app for Sky. We also cover AEO and why SEO specialists are suddenly getting more attention, how AI is changing the pace of experimentation and optimization, and what the design engineer role means for people who already wear multiple hats in this space.
