Good Guys – Our First Webflow Meetup

On March 16, 2025, we at Good Guys held our very first Webflow Meetup – and it was a huge success. Together with our industry colleagues and friends from Takumi Agency, who also run a Webflow agency, we gathered the community for a day filled with knowledge, laughs, and new connections.

‍

The venue? The Place – a creative coworking space in the heart of Belgrade, where I (Dejan) work remotely when I'm not in Sweden.

Over 250 Applicants – 60 Chosen

‍

The interest was far beyond expectations – over 250 people applied for a spot, but we selected 60 participants to create a good mix of experiences and perspectives. It was amazing to see so many Webflow enthusiasts gathered under one roof.

‍

The mix was also really great: everything from experienced Webflow developers to those just starting to explore Webflow, along with agency owners, freelancers, and web designers. It became a real community hangout – people mingled, shared experiences, and we heard throughout the day how new collaborations began to form, exactly what we had hoped for!

‍

The Good Guys team gathered on stage at the Webflow Meetup, speakers on Webflow development, SEO, and design, hosting an inspiring day for the community

‍

The Setup – From Technical to Practical

‍

We ran five short, focused presentations, here’s a recap:

‍

Lazar (Takumi Agency): Reverse Proxy + Webflow

‍

Lazar kicked off the day with a technical walkthrough of how to use Reverse Proxy in combination with Webflow – especially when you want to integrate Webflow with another CMS like WordPress or Drupal.

Example:
If you have a website built in WordPress but want to start building landing pages in Webflow – without moving the entire website right away? 

‍

You can use Cloudflare as an intermediary and route the traffic to Webflow. It’s a great way to start exploring Webflow in a live environment without needing to make the full switch all at once.

‍

Especially useful if you’re working with a CMS that’s well-integrated into your business and not something you can just switch overnight – but you still want to take advantage of Webflow’s flexibility, performance, and control for certain parts.

‍

Dejan (Good Guys): Clarity from the Start – The Key to Smooth Webflow Projects

‍

I talked about how we at Good Guys project manage Webflow projects in a way that benefits both the client and our production team. The focus was on:

  • How we define the project scope early through a Scope Call
  • How we set the right expectations from the start
  • How we estimate and maintain a smooth workflow throughout the project

‍

For us, it’s about building structure and trust from the start – it shows in both the process and the end result.

‍

Rastko & Ognjen (Good Guys): Figma + Webflow Workflows

‍

Our own Figma and Webflow specialists – Rastko and Ognjen – shared their best tips for creating an effective collaboration between design and Webflow development.

‍
They talked about:

  • How important it is to define the architecture before you start building: What should be CMS, what should be static, what should be global?
  • How a clear style guide in Figma saves a ton of time
  • How design and development collaborate to achieve pixel-perfect results in Webflow

‍

Many in the audience could relate – this is often a challenge in projects, so it was really appreciated to get concrete insights.

‍

Dario (Good Guys): Startups & the Right CMS Choice

‍

Dario shared his experiences working with startups like Justly and POF – and how important it is to choose a CMS that provides speed, not friction. His point was clear: as a startup, you want to be able to test and launch quickly. That’s where Webflow is a tool that gives you both flexibility and control.

‍

He also raised a question many startups struggle with: Are we building for users or for the service providers? – an important discussion that led to several exciting side conversations throughout the rest of the day.

‍

A Day to Remember

‍

I’m super proud of the team – everyone nailed their presentations. And yes, we invited 60 people, and almost everyone showed up – it was the first time I gave a speech in front of so many! Nervous? Yes, but the feeling afterward? Really great. This definitely left me wanting more. Check out the video below to get a sense of the event!
