Building Magic with Webflow: A UI Developer's Perspective

By www.viget.com
Published On :: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 10:00:00 -0400

In the fast moving and constantly changing landscape of web development, codeless solutions like Webflow and Squarespace have emerged as an alternative to more traditional development. These platforms allow users to design and build websites through intuitive visual interfaces, and are viable solutions for many use cases out there. 

For the past several months, I've been working as a frontend development support specialist alongside one of our talented designers, Blair Culbreth, who is managing a large, established Webflow project. Here are my candid thoughts and impressions from this experience, along with some critical considerations for those looking to integrate Webflow into their own workflow. Spoiler alert: while Webflow has some impressive strengths, it also comes with limitations that can be both unexpected and frustrating at times.

What Webflow Does Really Well

Small Team Efficiency

Webflow truly shines for smaller teams or products, especially those with limited resources. For a team that’s just a single designer or a small development crew, Webflow can help lower the technical debt involved with getting a website to production. By mitigating some of the more complex aspects of development such as responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and hosting, teams are able to focus on other aspects of the site. This makes it a strong option for startups, freelancers, or small businesses looking to create professional-grade websites efficiently and effectively without the necessity of a developer.

Animation Tooling

When I say professional-grade websites, I’m talking about more than just functional designs. Webflow has some fantastic animation tooling making it incredibly simple to build rich, full-page animations and interactions without ever touching a line of code. Users can create scroll-bound animations or interactive moments of joy all from the comfort of a relatively simple and straightforward GUI. Through the use of animation keyframes, you can elevate a static site into something that feels modern and expensive. Heck, I could even see using the animation tooling itself as a prototyping tool for design handoff in a more traditional web development process. This ability to easily add sophisticated animations allows smaller teams to produce polished, dynamic websites that rival those created by much larger teams with dedicated development resources.

Documentation & Education

Beyond its design capabilities, Webflow also stands out for its educational impact. The platform offers incredible documentation that covers core frontend principles, effectively bridging the divide between design and development. Through simple, digestible, and intuitive videos and written documentation, Webflow equips designers with knowledge that shores up many concepts and intricacies of web development.

Working with Webflow provides designers with numerous takeaways they can apply to future projects, including those outside the realm of Webflow. The platform educates users on HTML structure, CSS styling properties, and responsive design. This deeper understanding of web development makes designers more versatile and effective in their roles and inherently benefits communication between designers and developers, as their thinking will be more aligned with one another.

Navigating Webflow’s Limitations

Class Styles

Webflow's class-based styling system is a standout feature, especially to those familiar with CSS. It allows you to bundle properties into classes and apply them efficiently across different elements, minimizing code duplication. When used effectively, this approach facilitates the creation of reusable styles and design systems; however, mastering it requires attention to detail, similar to working with CSS directly, which can be made challenging within the Webflow UI.

Due to the separation of pages and content in Webflow, tracking down existing CSS classes and applying styles consistently throughout a project can be challenging. Keeping track of which class names apply what styles can be a struggle. While Webflow offers a Style Manager to help organize and manage classes, it can be difficult to use for quickly identifying how styles are being applied across the platform.

Moreover, the inability to open multiple pages in designer mode at once presents a significant frustration. Without the ability to compare elements across different pages simultaneously, users may face challenges in ensuring consistency and troubleshooting design issues efficiently. This limitation may lead to a slower, more cumbersome workflow, particularly in larger projects where maintaining a coherent design system is critical.

Another struggle with managing styles within the UI comes in the form of applying styles to combo classes. Combo classes are when you combine multiple classes together to create a variation or modified state of an element. Inadvertently applying styles to a combo class when intending to apply a style for the base class was a common issue I found myself running into, highlighting some challenges users should be aware of, especially when getting more familiar with Webflow.

These challenges underscore the value of implementing a strong and consistent CSS class naming system, such as BEM (Block Element Modifier). Adhering to a standardized naming convention will help mitigate some of the challenges posed by Webflow's class-based styling system, but it does come with the added overhead of needing to learn a new class naming convention.

Preset Web Elements

Webflow provides users with a diverse selection of default web elements, ranging from simple divs to intricate lightbox elements, which serve as the foundational building blocks for websites. These preset elements occasionally impose rigid structural constraints. For instance, when attempting to create a tabs menu with a filter, users may encounter a problem with adding additional elements to the tab menu block. This restriction forces users to either conform their design to Webflow’s constraints or devise creative workarounds to achieve their desired functionality.

Navigating such limitations can be challenging, particularly when striving to realize a specific design vision. It may involve exploring alternative solutions or compromising on the original plan. Yet, as users gain familiarity with the platform, those limitations can be anticipated, allowing them to develop strategies to circumvent the constraints.

Custom Scripts

One of the most powerful aspects of Webflow is also one of the most challenging features to balance. It requires careful management to avoid issues like performance degradation and increased technical debt.  It’s incredibly easy to have a website get bogged down with bloat, especially when a larger team might be working on a project.

Webflow lacks a built-in feature to view all custom scripts at a glance, making it difficult to track and manage them. Maintaining a documented list of all custom scripts used in your project and detailing their purposes and locations can help mitigate this issue, but that’s a fair amount of overhead to maintain. Additionally, custom scripts do not function in Webflow’s editor mode, requiring a site deploy for testing and troubleshooting, which can be time-consuming. 

The ability to add custom scripts opens up a world of options, including third-party plugins and libraries that can expand Webflow's native features. Tools like Jetboost or Finsweet can help fill in the gaps, and are oftentimes worth the investment as they provide relatively easy-to-use integrations that will make for a better user experience.

That’s all to say that applying custom scripts to a Webflow project is not necessarily bad, but should be approached with considerations on how to mitigate technical debt. Here are a few suggestions to help with integrating custom scripts into your Webflow project:

  • Maximize Native Features: Use Webflow’s built-in features as much as possible. If a design can be achieved with Webflow’s interactions and animations, avoid adding custom JavaScript.
  • External Development: Develop and test scripts in an external environment to reduce time spent deploying and debugging within Webflow.
  • Reusable Components: Save frequently used custom code as reusable components to simplify maintenance and ensure consistency across the site.
  • Regular Audits: Periodically review and clean up scripts to ensure that only necessary ones are loaded, improving site performance and maintainability.

Mitigating Difficulty Through Teamwork

I started this article by mentioning that I recently served as a frontend development support specialist alongside our designer, Blair, on this project. Blair took on the primary responsibility of building many of the pages, and I want to share more about our collaborative experience. Webflow is as close as you can get to building a traditionally coded website without necessarily needing to touch code, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value in having someone more familiar with the technical side of website building available. From accessibility considerations to complex layout structures, a lot of time can be saved by having a developer serve as a pseudo consultant on the project.

On numerous occasions, Blair reached out to me to help set up more complex custom implementations that required JavaScript or weren’t coming together as expected. By being able to jump in and solve those issues quickly for Blair, she was able to focus on building out the other pages. Similarly, I was able to audit and review her work to ensure it was inclusive for all types of users.

There are various development tricks we can implement to enhance user experiences for visually impaired users. For example, hiding text specific to a screen reader to provide greater context is a technique that a designer might not generally think about or even be aware of, but a good frontend developer would know to include. By being involved in the building process, I was able to highlight and advise on such instances, ensuring our project was accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

Conclusion

Webflow presents a robust solution for web development, particularly for smaller teams or projects with limited resources. Its intuitive visual interface and powerful animation tools enable the creation of professional-grade websites without the need for extensive coding knowledge. Webflow’s educational resources also empower designers to deepen their understanding of web development, bridging the gap between design and development and fostering better collaboration.

Webflow is not without its limitations. The class-based styling system, while efficient, can be challenging to manage, and the need for site deployment to test custom scripts adds to both the complexity and time investment required to build a project. Despite these challenges, many of the difficulties can be mitigated through careful planning and teamwork. Leveraging native features, developing and testing scripts externally, and creating reusable components are all strategies that can help maintain site performance and manage technical debt.

Collaborative efforts between designers and developers can further enhance the process, as seen in my experience working alongside Blair. This teamwork allows for efficient problem-solving and ensures that accessibility and user experience are prioritized throughout the project. By combining the strengths of Webflow with thoughtful collaboration and strategic planning, teams can create dynamic, user-friendly websites that meet modern standards.

How we use DDEV, Vite and Tailwind with Craft CMS

By www.viget.com
Published On :: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 11:00:00 -0400

In 2022 we changed our dev tooling for new Craft CMS projects. Goodbye complex esoteric Webpack configuration, hello Vite. Goodbye complex esoteric Docker Compose configuration, hello DDEV. This small change in tooling has completely transformed our development experience. We start work faster and avoid wasting billable time debugging Webpack and Docker.

From Webpack to Vite #

Webpack has been the defacto way of bundling JavaScript and front end assets. It’s a powerful tool… but with that great power comes great responsibility complexity.

Vite bills itself as the “next generation” of frontend tooling. Vite is much faster at bundling. But more importantly… its default configurations work great for most website projects.

Before (Webpack) #

Well over 300 lines of configuration spanning three files. Good luck making changes!

After (Vite) #

A crisp 30 - 50 lines of code. Want to switch to TypeScript? Need to drop in a popular front-end framework? Easy! All it takes is adding a plugin and 2-3 lines of config.

Deleting old code has never felt this good!

From Docker to DDEV #

Docker is another development staple. It isolates server infrastructure into virtual “containers.” This helps avoid issues that arise from each developer having a slightly different setup. However, Docker can have a learning curve. Config changes, PHP upgrades and unexpected issues often eat up precious project time.

Enter DDEV! DDEV describes itself as “Container superpowers with zero required Docker skills: environments in minutes, multiple concurrent projects, and less time to deployment.” We’ve found that statement to be 100% true.

Before (Docker) #

Every Craft project has a different Docker config. Bugs and upgrades required deep Docker experience. Last (but not least), it was difficult to run several projects at one time (ports often conflict).

After (DDEV) #

Performance is consistently better than our hand-rolled setup thanks to Mutagen and faster DB import/exports. Simultaneous projects run out of the box. DDEV provides (and maintains) a growing list of helpful shortcuts and DX features.

Getting started #

Ready to make the switch? Here’s how to set up DDEV, Vite and Tailwind on your own Craft project.

Show me the config files already! #

If you would rather see full config files instead of following step by step, check out our Craft Site Starter on GitHub.

DDEV #

Let’s set up a fresh DDEV project and start customizing.

  1. Make sure you have DDEV installed on your computer.
  2. If you’re a PHPStorm user, install the exceedingly helpful DDEV plugin. VS Code users have a similar plugin too!
  3. Follow Craft’s guide for creating a new project (they love DDEV too).

Now you have a fresh .ddev/config.yaml just waiting to be customized.

Node Version #

Open your DDEV config and make sure your Node JS version matches Vite’s recommendations.

nodejs_version: '20' # Vite 5 expects Node 18+

Ports for Vite’s dev server #

Next, expose ports that Vite’s dev server uses will use to serve assets.

web_extra_exposed_ports:
  - name: vite
    container_port: 3000
    http_port: 3000
    https_port: 3001

Routing ports can sometimes be confusing. This diagram might help!

  • Vite’s dev server runs inside of DDEV’s web container (a Docker container).
  • Until we expose these extra ports, any custom port within DDEV is unavailable to your host machine (your computer).
  • When it’s time to configure Vite, we’ll use port 3000
  • HTTP and HTTPS traffic must use separate ports.
  • We use port 3000 for http traffic and 3001 for https

Run Vite automatically #

Usually, you’ll want Vite to watch and build files automatically after you start a DDEV project. Using web_extra_daemons adds a separate background process (daemon) for Vite.

web_extra_daemons:
  # Run Vite in a separate process
  - name: 'vite'
    command: 'npm install && npm run dev'
    directory: /var/www/html

Use hooks to improve DX #

DDEV’s powerful hooks system can run tasks before or after various DDEV commands. These post-start tasks keep dependencies and schemas up to date every time you start DDEV.

hooks:
  post-start:
    - composer: install # Keeps installed packages up to date
    - exec: ./craft up # Apply migrations & project config changes

Time for Vite #

Vite is a Node app that’s installed with NPM. Your project will need a package.json. If you don’t have one set up yet, follow NPMs initialization script.

ddev npm init

# Don't forget to ignore node_modules!
echo node_modules >> .gitignore

????Why ddev at the start of the command? This let’s us run NPM from within DDEV’s Docker containers. This means you’ll always be using the Node version configured for this project. DDEV has a bunch of shortcuts and aliases for running CLI commands (such as npm, yarn, craft and composer).

Make sure your NPM package is configured for ES Modules #

Our various config files will be using ES Module syntax for imports and exports.

ddev npm pkg set type=module

Install Vite! #

ddev npm install --save-dev vite

Add convenience scripts to package.json #

"scripts": {
  "dev": "vite",
  "build": "vite build"
}

npm run dev runs Vite in dev mode. It watches and builds your files every save. Files are served through Vite’s dev server.

npm run build bundles your JavaScript, CSS and static images for production. Your deploy process will usually call this script.

Configure vite.config.js #

Running Vite for a server rendered CMS requires some extra configuration. These options put production files in the right spot and keeps Vite’s dev server running on a specific port.

import { defineConfig, loadEnv } from 'vite'

// Match ports in .ddev/config.yaml and config/vite.php
const HTTP_PORT = 3000
const HTTPS_PORT = 3001

export default defineConfig(({ command, mode }) => {
  const env = loadEnv(mode, process.cwd(), '')

  return {
    // In dev mode, we serve assets at the root of https://my.ddev.site:3000
    // In production, files live in the /dist directory
    base: command === 'serve' ? '' : '/dist/',
    build: {
      manifest: true,
      // Where your production files end up
      outDir: './web/dist/',
      rollupOptions: {
        input: {
          // The entry point for Vite, we'll create this file soon
          app: 'src/js/app.js',
        },
      },
    },
    server: {
	    // Special address that respond to all network requests
      host: '0.0.0.0',
	    // Use a strict port because we have to hard code this in vite.php
      strictPort: true,
      // This is the port running "inside" the Web container
      // It's the same as continer_port in .ddev/config.yaml
      port: HTTP_PORT,
      // Setting a specific origin ensures that your fonts & images load
      // correctly. Assumes you're accessing the front-end over https
      origin: env.PRIMARY_SITE_URL + ':' + HTTPS_PORT,
    },
  }
})

Add JavaScript and CSS files (Entrypoint) #

Vite needs an entry point to determine what JavaScript, CSS and Front End assets it needs to compile. Remember src/js/app.js that we defined in vite.config.js? Let's make that file now.

/* Make a file in src/js/app.js */

import '../css/app.css'

console.log('Hello Craft CMS')

We’ll also add our CSS as an import in app.js . In plain-old-JavaScript you can’t import CSS files. However, Vite uses this to figure out CSS dependencies for the project.

Once Vite builds everything for production, you end up with a separate CSS file. The Craft Vite plugin includes this automatically with along your JavaScript bundle.

/* Make a file in src/css/app.css */

body {
	background-color: peachpuff;
}

Install the Vite Craft Plugin #

ddev composer require nystudio107/craft-vite
ddev craft plugin/install vite

Vite assets have different URLs in dev mode vs. production. In dev mode, assets are served from Vite’s dev server. It uses the ports that we defined in our DDEV & Vite configs.

When Vite builds for production, filenames are hashed (app.js becomes app-BZi_KJSq.js). These hashes change when the contents of the file changes. Browser can cache these files indefinitely. When an asset changes, a whole new file is served.

To help find these hashed filenames, Vite creates a manifest.json file. The manifest associates the name of your asset src/js/app.js to the hashed file that ends up on your server web/dist/assets/app-BZi_KJSq.js

The Craft Vite Plugin by NYStudio107 takes care of all this routing for you.

{
  "src/js/app.js": {
    "file": "assets/app-BZi_KJSq.js",
    "name": "app",
    "src": "src/js/app.js",
    "isEntry": true,
    "css": ["assets/app-BXePGY5I.css"]
  }
}

Configure the Vite Craft Plugin #

Make a new plugin config file in config/vite.php

<?php

use crafthelpersApp;

// Use the current host for dev server requests. Otherwise fall back to the primary site.
$host = Craft::$app->getRequest()->getIsConsoleRequest()
    ? App::env('PRIMARY_SITE_URL')
    : Craft::$app->getRequest()->getHostInfo();

return [
    'devServerPublic' => "$host:3001", // Matches https_port in .ddev/config.yaml
    'serverPublic' => '/dist/',
    'useDevServer' => App::env('CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT') === 'dev',
    'manifestPath' => '@webroot/dist/.vite/manifest.json',
    // Optional if using React or Preact
    // 'includeReactRefreshShim' => true,
];

Include your Vite bundles in Twig #

The script and asset functions includes the appropriate files depending on in if you’re in dev mode or production. Clear out your templates/index.twig file and add the following snippet to your <head> tag.

{# Load our main CSS file in dev mode to avoid FOUC #}
{% if craft.vite.devServerRunning() %}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ craft.vite.asset("src/css/app.css") }}">
{% endif %}

{{ craft.vite.script('src/js/app.js', false) }}

Whew! ???? We’re at a point now where we can test our integration. Run ddev restart and then ddev launch . You should see “Hello Craft CMS” in your browser console.

Setup Tailwind #

Now that Vite is processing src/css/app.css, it’s time to install Tailwind and really get cooking.

These steps are based on Tailwind’s official installation guide. But make sure to run all commands from within DDEV.

Install packages #

ddev npm install -D tailwindcss postcss cssnano autoprefixer
# No DDEV shortcut for npx :(
ddev exec npx tailwindcss init -p

Configure template paths in tailwind.config.js #

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
	// Watch Twig templates and any JS or JSX that might use Tailwind classes.
  content: ['./templates/**/*.twig', './src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,svg}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Configure postcss.config.js for production #

export default {
  plugins: {
    tailwindcss: {},
    autoprefixer: {},
    ...(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? { cssnano: {} } : {})
  }
}

Add Tailwind directives to src/css/app.css #

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

You’ll most likely need to run ddev restart again to get Vite to recognize your new Tailwind config.

❓ Do i need to set up live reload of Twig? Turns out it’s already done for you! Styling a Tailwind project means editing Twig files to change styles. It’s super handy to reload your browser every time you save. Normally you’d reach for vite-plugin-restart to get this functionality. However, Tailwind’s JIT mode automatically notifies Vite when CSS has compiled and the page should reload.

That's a wrap! #

That’s all it takes to configure a minimal DDEV and Vite project! We’ve found that both of these tools are easy to extend as a project get more complo'ex. Adding things like Redis or React are just a plugin install and a few lines of config away.

???? If you'd like to see this setup (and more) in a real-world Craft CMS project, check out our Craft Site Starter on GitHub.

Go forth and Vite + DDEV to your heart’s desire.

Should Web Services just be innovating on top of these services (and if so, how?), or should they be disbanded in favour of outsourcing? A short introductory presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion with sweets on offer to keep our energy up! The session was facilitated by Phil Wilson and Tom Natt, University of Bath.
