I built my first website with Yahoo Geocities. It was ugly. But, I was so proud of my creation because but I made it. Today anyone with a computer and access to the internet can build a website using tools far more powerful than Dreamweaver from two decades ago. One of those tools is
Webflow, where designers, coders, and marketers can easily build fully responsive, bespoke websites. In this episode, Bryan Chou, Co-Founder of Webflow, shares the early genesis and growth of Webflow.
In episode 81, you'll learn:
- Bryan's transition from CTO to Head of Growth at Webflow
- How Webflow got their first 1,000 customers
- How Bryant and the growth team created tight feedback loops to accelerate their growth
- An early mistake with Webflow's referral program
