  • Stack: Webflow
  • CMS limits: plan caps discovered halfway through out of the box, a content model planned around the caps at kickoff once we have built it
  • Code and accounts held in your name
  • Monthly SEO support available after launch
  • Based in Mississauga, Ontario, working with clients across Canada

Focus areas

Three areas we work on in Webflow

Speed, structured data and scale come up on every platform we work with. The code panels are simplified examples of what we check and change.

Speed

Interactions are one of Webflow's strengths and one of the easiest ways to slow a page down. We review each animation for its cost at load, push the decorative ones later and export images at sizes that match the layout, so a phone renders the first screen quickly.

Schema

Webflow does not generate structured data for you. We place JSON-LD in head embeds for site-wide nodes and bind script tags to CMS fields on collection templates, so each item page carries its own Organization, Service, Article or FAQ markup.

Scale

Collections linked with Reference fields let one template produce a family of pages, for example a page per Canadian city you serve or per software integration. Your team adds and edits entries in the Webflow CMS without writing code.

About this stack

What CreateITivity brings to a Webflow site

People call Webflow a design tool, which sells it short. CMS Collections can drive large page sets. Localization handles English and French versions of a site. Custom code embeds accept any JSON-LD you need. Trouble starts when a site is designed quickly and never engineered: heavy interactions block rendering, markup is missing and collections multiply without a plan. We rebuild with a deliberate content model, interactions that stay off the critical path and a publishing routine that keeps rankings steady as the design changes. Sites for Ontario organizations are built and tested against WCAG 2.1 AA for AODA, and forms are set up to collect consent the way CASL expects.

  • Experienced Webflow developers do the hands-on work
  • Changes arrive as reviewable pull requests in your own accounts
  • Built with the platform’s own tools wherever possible, so fewer add-ons to pay for
  • Moving to or from Webflow comes with a redirect plan that protects search traffic
How the work runs

How we work

From first crawl to launch on Webflow

Projects move through the same stages in order. You can see progress at each one through regular written updates.

  1. Site Review

    $ webflow audit --depth=full

    We crawl the site, list interactions and embeds, review how collections are structured, look for missing markup and record mobile vitals.

  2. Interaction Cleanup

    $ designer refactor --safe

    Pages are reworked one by one. Blocking interactions move off the load path, classes get tidied and images are re-exported at the right sizes.

  3. Markup Embeds

    $ embeds deploy --schema

    Site-wide JSON-LD lives in the head embed. Collection templates get script tags bound to CMS fields, so every item page describes itself.

  4. Collection Page Sets

    $ cms publish --dynamic

    Collections, Reference fields and dynamic templates generate long-tail pages that your editors maintain inside Webflow.

  5. Launch and Watch

    $ workspace publish --env=production

    We publish from the Workspace, then track field vitals, run Lighthouse weekly and send Search Console warnings to your team.

FAQs

Webflow questions we hear often

Straight answers to what Canadian clients ask us before they commit.

Can Webflow handle a large site?
For most marketing and service sites, yes. Webflow sets caps on CMS items and collections that vary by plan, and we check them against your content during discovery. If you would pass them, we either feed Webflow from an outside source through the Data API or move the front end to a headless build.
Will cleaning up interactions change how the site looks?
The design stays as approved. We keep each interaction's visible behaviour and change how it runs: moving work off the main thread, narrowing its scope or swapping it for plain CSS. Your designer signs off on each change before it goes live.
How do you set up Webflow Localization?
Each locale gets its own URLs, hreflang tags in the head, markup in the right language and a matching Search Console property. For Canadian sites that usually means English and Canadian French, with translated slugs. It is part of Production.
Will our custom code survive Webflow updates?
Embeds and site-level scripts are stable places to keep code, and platform releases do not rewrite what you have added. We keep them organized and documented, and we store copies in a git repository so changes are tracked.
What happens if we outgrow Webflow?
We can move you to Next.js, Astro or WordPress with a URL map, a redirect plan and a page-by-page parity check so rankings come along. Plenty of teams never need to leave, and the route is there if growth calls for it.
Which Webflow limits should we plan around?
CMS collections have item caps. Truly dynamic server-side content needs the Data API plus outside compute. robots.txt can be edited within the settings Webflow provides. Redirect rules beyond the built-in manager need a proxy layer such as a Cloudflare Worker. We plan the content model and redirects to fit inside these.
Who owns the Webflow project after handover?
Your company owns the project and every embed in it. We work in your Workspace as editors and never take the owner seat. After handover we drop to view-only or leave completely, whichever you prefer, and the git copy of your embeds sits in a repository you control.
Is Webflow hosting good enough?
It runs on a global CDN with SSL included and publishing in one click, which suits most marketing sites. You give up custom server middleware and cannot deploy anywhere else. When a site needs edge logic or server-side personalization, we place Cloudflare Workers in front of Webflow hosting.
How is a Webflow project priced and scheduled?
The Starter review has a fixed fee. Production work on the content model, interactions and markup embeds is scoped after discovery. Enterprise projects with Localization and several sites run longer. You receive a written estimate in CAD, with a schedule, before any larger commitment.
Can you bring our site onto Webflow?
Yes. We move sites from WordPress, Squarespace and custom code. Content is restructured into collections, 301s are configured, canonicals are mapped, and you receive written notes for the Search Console changeover.
Can a Webflow site meet AODA accessibility requirements?
It can, with care. We use semantic elements, visible focus states, proper form labels and colour contrast that passes WCAG 2.1 AA, and we test interactions with a keyboard and a screen reader. That is the standard Ontario’s AODA points to for public websites.
