Best Webflow Designers And Agencies: Our Top 10 Picks

Last Updated on April 22, 2023 by Ewen Finser

If you want to use Webflow as your chosen eCommerce platform but web design is proving to be more difficult than you thought, you might find my guide to the best Webflow designers and agencies helpful! Designing a smooth, user-friendly website that effectively communicates your brand image is difficult. (I know this from my experience running eCommerce businesses – brand image is essential, and it’s hard to get it right.)

Handing this task over to an individual designer or an agency may take a massive weight off your shoulders. However, there are tons of talented, creative agencies out there with Webflow experience: in this guide, I’ll give you 10 of my favorites and a guide on what you should look for.

The Bottom Line Up Front

Many creative, clever, and useful agencies and designers are on this list. MHowever, y favorite agency is The Alchemists – their designs are beautiful, and I like that they’ll help you craft a strong brand identity.

However, if you’d rather work with an individual designer, I’d recommend checking out Rory Braatvedt. He has over 10 years of marketing experience, so he understands the importance of considering business goals alongside web design.

What are Webflow Designers and Agencies?

Webflow designers and agencies are individuals or companies that can create bespoke, beautiful websites on Webflow. This means you won’t have to worry about the design process at all: instead, you can sit back, relax, and allow someone else to craft a website for you.

If you have no experience in web design or you just want to work with experts, it could be an excellent investment. Many designers and agencies have marketing experience, too. This means they’ll be able to work with you to increase conversion rates or reach other business goals.

How Does the Process Work?

Usually, you have to reach out via a contact form or email. Once you’ve done this, the designer or agency will arrange an initial meeting to hear your thoughts on your needs. If they feel they are the right fit, they’ll get back to you with a quote.

There may be one or several meetings during which the designer or agency will work with you. This may take longer if you’re crafting a brand identity from scratch. They should give you a rough idea of what you can expect from them, and if you’re happy, the work will go ahead.

Once your Webflow website is finished, they’ll present it to you, tweaking the design if necessary (this may come at an extra cost: it’s a good idea to find out exactly what your final fee includes before you start). They’ll also give you instructions on how you can add content yourself.

What Should You Look for in a Webflow Designer or Agency?

There are a few key things you should look for:

Webflow Expertise

If you’ve chosen Webflow as your platform, you’ll want to find a designer or agency with experience. Not only will they be able to create a website using Webflow if they already have experience using it, but they’ll also be able to iron out any problems that may crop up later on.

You can choose a Webflow Expert: these are Webflow-endorsed designers or agencies with expertise using the platform. Every designer or agency on this list is a Webflow Expert.

Design/Style

Looking at portfolios will give you the best idea of the designer or agency’s style. It’s worth browsing through their completed projects to see how well they work from a user perspective. Are their designs memorable? Do they make it easy to navigate? Does it make sense from a customer perspective?

You can also get a good idea of their style by browsing the designer or agency’s website. Their brand identity should be strong: at a glance, you should get an idea of their style. They will be in charge of your company’s online identity, so this is a good test!

Marketing Experience

Web design for online businesses goes beyond building a pretty website. Your designer or agency must have marketing experience, too.

Whether you’re an eCommerce store looking to improve conversion rates, an event organizer trying to make it easier for your customers to book tickets, or an already established business looking to strengthen its online presence, they should be able to help you.

Many designers will ask for your business goals. For example, you might want to encourage people to sign up for your newsletter or reach better conversion rates. They’ll keep this in mind during the design process, making the customer’s journey ‘flow’ smoothly to the desired result.

User Experience

Again, user experience is critical. Think about what your customers or clients want from you: how can you offer that to them via your online presence? This should be talked about at the consultation stage. User experience has to be taken into account.

Reviews and Recommendations

Another useful idea is to see if anyone has left a review or recommendation for a designer/agency you’re interested in. They should have recommendations marked on their website so that you can hear from previous clients.

Extra Features

Other features offered by designers and agencies may include:

• Custom illustrations
• Mobile app design and implementation
• Guidance and implementation of NFTs
• Complex Webflow problem solving
• Website management
• Content creation, including content writing and social media posts
• Logo design

Not all designers or agencies will offer these features, so which one you choose will depend on what you’re looking for.
