This just changed the course of my life. Forever.

Dude, that section on the font sizes is pure solid gold. I've been developing for 4 years now and have never been able confidently explain why we make certain choices. Thank you so much !

Thank you for showing how using list elements for groups of links improves accessibility. ❤

[duziejt]

Thank you!! I needed all 5 of these! Definitely keeping my eyes peeled for your course 👀

[cathyg]

Thank you! This is super helpful! I'm subscribing! Hoping for more tips for beginners in Webflow. Keep up the great teaching!

I just spent at least 50 hours going through a webflow paywall course and was left feeling undereducated. Your 8 minute video has been extremely informative and has made me realize the course taught me some basics that are not the best approach to the end results

[EdgarAntonioHez]

Impressive! I wasn't aware on using em for max-width and the element list, thank you!

[vladimirpetroski]

I have to start using em's more often. Amazing and insightful as always Tim, thanks!

[nhato]

love it, please make more video like this, Tim!

Great video, very useful tips! Have you ever thought about creating a Webflow course of your own? I'm asking because a lot of courses (I've only taken one) just teach you how to reach the desired outcome (Figma to Webflow) but don't really teach you the best practices for doing things. Do you think that people should perhaps learn the best practices of HTML and CSS and try to carry that over to Webflow?

Tha k you for providing value. This is going to be very useful for my current project.

To be fair about aspect ratios, that was only added natively in Webflow in October last year. I wouldn't necessarily characterise it as a "mistake", more of a new feature that perhaps some people have missed. And I LOVE the new aspect ratio feature. It was a pain in the butt sometimes dealing with layout shifts because sometimes I didn't want to set explicit height and width to images in certain cases.

Having said that, adding background colour to images was something I didn't even think of!

[RedPantherio]

Ohh you beat me to this video 😆 Good stuff...

[LSTA]

Great tips thanks TR!
I ran into a problem previously with using CH for max width text headers… when I added in other languages later on and the translated content had different character counts ofc 😅

[akbarbadsha]

wow. thank you soooo much, really help alot, because this is what i do al the time. i think this tips will improve alot in my webflow

one common thing that seems hard to me, is having 1 background span across 2 separate sections. How can you make it "seamless" since even when having absolute positioning and the same aspect ratio set to both sections, it usually "gets cropped" in weird ways

[lakivicsa]

Thanks, your content is helping me a lot! :D

[ErikZaborowski]

for setting the vertical height of a container, how do you recommend setting that? I didn't see how you were defining the height on the hero_contain when you mentioned not relying on children elements for spacing.

[dalanhansen]

I can't seem to create "unitless" variables for line-height using the dash. Do you have a solution to this?
