You’ve been eagerly waiting for this, and it’s now on the way. The "coming soon" is transforming into a "mark your calendars for Thursday, April 25 at 6 PM on Digidop's YouTube Channel" for the kickoff of our Webflow training.
In this article, learn more about the reasons behind and the details of this training.
Why launch our Webflow Training now?
In 2022, we launched the Digidop Academy, an independent learning platform separate from our blog posts or videos, to share training content that is free and easily accessible. The fantastic Figma training by Thomas continues to receive rave reviews and has been very well-received by the community.
This first training encouraged us to develop this space, and we had already announced the upcoming Webflow training (as "coming soon").
However, months went by without the training’s status changing. Numerous reasons led us to not launch the Webflow training sooner:
- Creating a training program requires an immense amount of time.
- Digidop is primarily an agency, and growing the business while continuing to create educational content was a priority.
- Webflow, like most tools, evolves very regularly (between 2022 and 2024, the tool changed significantly), and we didn't want to create an outdated course within a few months.
- Webflow is a complex tool to master, and we wanted a more interactive format compared to the Figma training.
Despite the regular requests for the release date of the Webflow training, as the number one French Webflow agency, we didn't want to offer something half-baked.
Today, we believe we have found a way to address all the previously mentioned points, allowing us to honor this promise to the community.
How will the training proceed?
We will meet live on the Digidop YouTube channel every Thursday starting at 6 PM. This weekly meeting will allow us to delve into the details of Webflow (and more) to learn how to build a website from A to Z without coding, or almost.
The goal of the training will be to develop a site step by step in real-time and also learn how to optimize it for SEO. Each week, we will progress on a mockup designed to explore various Webflow features.
This live session will also allow for an interactive portion with you to answer your questions, gather your feedback, and share your experience.
What content will the Webflow training cover?
In this training, we will focus on the essential aspects of web development. Here’s an overview of the specific content we’ll cover during our weekly sessions:
- Project setup
- Customizing your Style Guide
- Creating static pages and sections
- Creating dynamic pages and sections (mastering the CMS)
- Creating components
- Adding animations
- Developing with the Client-First methodology
- Optimizing your project for SEO
- Creating a responsive site
Who is the training for?
The training is aimed at beginners, intermediates, and more advanced developers. In each live session, we will revisit the basics to ensure a solid understanding of Webflow, along with valuable tips from our experience.
What is the cost of the training?
The training is 100% Free.
As you may know, sharing is a key element of Digidop's DNA. From the outset, we have strived to make the use of tools like Figma or Webflow accessible to as many people as possible, without language barriers, for the Francophone community.
I learned Webflow with the help of Florian, but also thanks to the numerous free online resources from Webflow University, Finsweet, T.Ricks, and many other creators.
In this spirit, we decided that the training would be free and easily accessible for everyone!
Who am I?
I’m Thibaut (Thibz for my close friends), and I am a Webflow developer at Digidop (the first French agency to receive the Professional Partner of the Year award from Webflow).
My journey in web development started with coding, but especially with optimizing sites on WordPress
After joining Digidop to assist the agency in developing the content creation and SEO aspect, Webflow caught my attention. Florian then trained me on the tool, and I was able to also self-train to become an expert in the subject.
I completed various Webflow certifications, and shortly after, with Florian, we worked with Finsweet on the translation of the Client-First documentation into French.
A few hundred blog articles later, in October 2023, I found myself with the Digidop team and the Global Webflow Leaders at the Webflow Watch Party in Paris, which we co-organized.
To date, I have been fortunate to collaborate with over 50 clients on the creation or redesign of their internal websites and have made presentations in schools, which is why I am determined to share my Thibz Tips with you!
When does it start?
The live training will kick off with an introductory episode (explaining the format, introductions, etc.) to answer your questions on Thursday, April 25, 2024 on Digidop's YouTube channel. Afterwards, we will meet every other Thursday to start and progress on the program.
All live sessions will be available for replay immediately after each session ends.
In summary, here are the important points to remember:
- Digidop is finally launching its Webflow training.
- The training is 100% Free.
- The training is a series of weekly live sessions on YouTube where you can interact.
- The training takes place on Digidop's YouTube channel.
- It starts on Thursday, April 25, 2024, at 6 PM.
- We can't wait!

See you soon for exciting adventures! 🎓
