Webflow: A breath of fresh air in the management of our website

Welcome to our new website! Take a look behind the scenes of our recent migration from Jekyll to Webflow, why this change was made, and what benefits this new tool brought us.

Previous situation: the challenges with Jekyll

Prior to this transition, our site was based on Jekyll, a solution that was technically robust but proved to be a constant challenge when it came to making changes to the site. Updating content was a daunting task, creating a bottleneck for the entire team. We needed a solution that allowed all members to quickly and easily contribute to the site, whether it was to publish a new blog post, add a job offer, or simply adjust a title.

Choosing Webflow: a breath of freshness and simplicity

What is Webflow?

Webflow is a platform that allows you to design and publish websites. Its visual interface makes site design and management accessible to everyone, even those who are not development experts. We can also describe this tool as CMS (Content Management System), because it offers functionalities that allow you to easily create, edit and publish content that respects a pre-established structure, such as blog articles for example.

Eliminate the technical barrier

One of the key reasons for moving to Webflow was its ease of use, which eliminates technical barriers and makes updating the site accessible to all members of our team, whether or not they are seasoned developers.

Aesthetic modernization and reusable components

The switch to Webflow was not simply a technical migration, but an opportunity to rethink the aesthetics of our showcase site. We took the opportunity to create more modern and reusable components, thus offering visual coherence across the site and increased speed in creating new pages.

Simplified content editing

Thanks to Webflow's editor mode, each member of the team can easily modify the content of the site (texts, images, links, components) without risking altering its structure. What's more, via the CMS, we can quickly add new dynamic content such as blog posts or job offers. This ease of management thus eliminates the constant dependence ondevelopment team, allowing everyone to contribute independently to the evolution of the site.

Start of production

Webflow also simplifies the publishing process. Updating the site and publishing new content is now a smooth and fast process, allowing our custom computer development agency to quickly share the latest news, projects and relevant information.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the switch to Webflow has significantly improved our website management experience. From the ease of updating to the flexibility of design, Webflow proved to be the ideal tool to support our online presence. The transition was a smart investment, offering our agency the opportunity to remain agile in a constantly changing digital environment.
