I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today I’m joined by the one and only Jonathan Morin, better known in the Webflow world as Jo Mor. Joe is a standout designer and developer, whose work beautifully blends storytelling, sharp design, and smooth development into something truly unique. I first met Joe at Webflow Conf in London, where we had a memorable moment—twerking together while Melissa Mendez filmed us. Beyond the moves, Joe is an award-winning designer with a knack for combining aesthetic brilliance and technical precision. His site, jomor.design, is a testament to his skills and the waves he’s making in the design world. And if you’ve seen his hilarious talk at Webflow Conf, you already know his energy is unmatched.

I’m your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today we’ve got a special double-bill episode with the brilliant duo, Camille Di Vincenzo & Ellina Chhay. These two are powerhouse no-code and low-code experts who bring years of experience in Webflow and beyond, helping to build a better internet together. I first heard about Camille and Ellina through Théo Roland from the French Webflow community, who insisted I invite them on Webflail. And wow, am I glad I did! Both of them have extensive knowledge not just in the Webflow ecosystem but across various tools that make the no-code space so vibrant. Together, they’ve also been fostering an amazing sense of community through initiatives like Webflow Co-living, where professionals gather in inspiring locations to connect, collaborate, and grow. From board game nights to quizzes, these retreats are redefining the way Webflow enthusiasts bond and learn from each other. In this episode, we’ll dig into six failures—three from each of these incredible guests. These failures include: For Ellina:
And for Camille:
These two have a wealth of insights to share about failure, resilience, and how to keep leveling up in this industry. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re going to learn so much from this conversation. | |||

Hello and welcome to Episode 109 of Webflail! Check out his work at BAMOJ—that's B-A-M-O-J dot com. The site is incredible, showcasing top-tier work. I first came across BMO’s work on Twitter, or as it's now called, "X," where he shared some remarkable projects. His ability to blend Webflow with GSAP animations is something you don’t see often in the Webflow space. Bimo is an Awwwards judge, a professional Webflow partner, and a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Webflow and GSAP. But today’s episode isn’t just about his awards and amazing projects—it’s also about his journey through failure to reach this level of success. We’ll dive into some of Bimo's challenges, including:

Hello and welcome to episode 104 of Webflail. He’s an impressive dude 5 months ago, he quit his stable UX job to dive into the wild world of freelancing and building products in public.

He’s a Webflow and memberstack expert and he’s got a smile as big as the Niger Delta. Has it always been easy for Manuel? Or has it been a real struggle with some massive failures along the way? You be the judge. The failures that we’ll discuss are:

Theo is a man you have no doubt come across on your escapades in the world of Webflow but just in case you haven’t, he’s leading the charge in the Francophone Webflow community. What does Francophone mean? It means french speaking. He’s french and runs InitWeb, which includes a frenchspeaking Webflow community, InitClub (1043 people in the slack), as well as bootcamps, self-paced courses and other resources. Before this, he was a freelancer that taught people online. On YouTube, he has 1.43K subscribers•114 videos So, he’s a Webflow Expert & Global Community Leader, but has it always been this way? Has it always been as dreamy as a float down the river seine with a bottle of vin rouge? NO! The failures that we will talk about today are:

| Ep 94 | How to build a strong personal brand | with David Anierobi | 18 Jun 2024 | 00:53:49 | |
Today, my guest is David Anierobi! Some David facts:
His philosophy in life is "I can do all things... if given the right opportunity and chance to" which is beautiful - he’s hustled and bustled to get to the position that he’s in in life. BUT, has it been easy? Has it always been predestined? Or has he had some face-plants and failures along the way that have given him the insights he needed to succeed?!The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are: 1) Not understanding the business of freelancing. Not getting full disclosure Or details for a project and it didn’t end well. 2) Being too positive made you lose a good gig. Never saying “NO”. This is a situation I still battle with 😆 3) Placing more focus on tools rather than people and connection | |||
| Ep 93 | 3 failures while steering an 85 person agency | with Dan Hardaker | 11 Jun 2024 | 00:54:06 | |
Today my guest is Dan Hardaker. Dan is the Director of Digital Design and co-owner at Proctor + Stevenson. P+S is one of the UK’s longest-established full-service marketing agencies, offering business-to-business marketing strategy, branding and technology. Dan is one of the longest-serving employees there having been there for 11 years and 8 months. Clients include Panasonic, Epson & South West Water. But if this agency is such a well-established and more traditional agency, you might think that they are not stuck in their ways, stuffy and less forward thinking. Far from it - this agency is quick to adopt new technology and Dan is hyper aware of available tools and tech out there. Their new website, built on Webflow, and explorations of how to use Webflow more broadly with enterprise clients are helping to push the UK Webflow market forward. We’ll get in to this more in today’s episode. You might think life has always been pretty rosy for Dan if you look at him now with a formidable team, enterprise clients and beautiful office in the heart of Bristol. But as you may have guessed, there’s been some fundamental fails to learn from to get here. The fails we’ll talk about in today’s episode are: 1) Clear Communication SAVVYCAL | |||

He has a killer YT channel where he shares stories behind building in-house team of 40 people and how you can leverage website strategy and Webflow to grow your digital presence.

And if you need a reminder who she is, she was part of the killer duo with KC Katalbas for the Slater Game Challenge, obviously. She's so super, super busy. And in fact, organizing this interview was really hard because she's so busy. She's doing so much work. She's worked for Blackpeak and Ammo Studio, but she's also got her own individual clients too. She's flying high, but has it always been this way? The failures that we're going to talk about are:

Today my guest is Florian Bodelot. And since then, they're like a runaway train. These guys are now a Webflow professional partner, Client First certified. And in 2023, they won professional partner of the year. The rise has been pretty dramatic for Digidop. After translating Client First documentation for FinSuite a couple of years ago, they have seriously leveled up their game, growing a team and doubling down on content creation too. They have their own YouTube channel, TikTok, Instagram. These guys are going in on content, which we'll also talk about today.

Today my guest is Erin Fleming. Now Erin came to my attention because she was doing the most outrageous challenge. 100 days of posting her work and she was cranking out designs on the daily. From it, she’s gained amost 1000 followers, got a freelance client and gained some friends along the way. She’s now building Storefront.design. The best best Digital Storefronts on the Internet.

He worked there for two years, and in that time, Black Peak went from being a team of three to 20 people. A few months ago, he said goodbye to Blackpeak to follow a new path where he created his own agency with Alier, otherwise known as Ald, Gallardo. The agency is called Produlis to produce scalable web apps with Webflow. But although he's had an almighty rise, he's also had some setbacks along the way. The failures that we'll talk about are:

He’s a Web Designer and Founder at 5Four Digital and an Automation Expert with a decade of experience building brands online.

And this is all while being a dad too. As you probably know if you listen to this podcast regularly, success comes with some face plants along the way. The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

As one third of No code north, a keen visual designer and developer and data base and API integrationer, he’s no slouch in the webflow space. Fascinatingly though, Jeremy has had an unusual path to Webflow development. He came to web design and development form working in the Entertainment industry as a writer / director.

| Ep 76 | From being fired by clients to creating an enterprise agency | With Jacob Sussman | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:52:42 | |
Today my guest is Jacob Sussman, CEO and co-founder of BX Studio. Now BX studio is interesting - it’s a webflow exclusive agency. They offer custom development, site migration, and ongoing maintenance and support services. Now what’s wild is that the studio launched in January 2022. Since then, BX studio has not only become a webflow enterprise partner, but has also created award winning work with brands in a variety of industries such as Headspace, Zipline and Square Roots. That’s mental health, drones and vertical farming. You may have seen Jacob talk about the most recent Webflow conf, or seen him on Twitter where very active. As anyone who has seen Taylor Swift’s documentary though, a meterioric rise to fame and fortune doesn’t come without it’s sacrifices and head in hand moments.

Welcome to Episode 75 of Webflail with Daniel Anisse. As anyone that listens to this podcast knows, Relume originally formed as an agency but since then, Relume has evolved into a product company that provides tools and resources used by thousands of Figma designers & Webflow developers including icons, the component library, the ai site builder and more. However, few people will know that Dan is a man after my own heart - a lover of failure that has tried and failed to kick start over 20 business ideas. I say a lover of failure not from a snarky place at all - it is from a place of deep respect. In fact, Dan wrote an article called “Beautiful Failure,” in which he wrote: TRY OUT WEBFLOW | |||
| Ep 74 | Why choosing the right business partner changes everything for new agencies | With Goodside Studio | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:58:04 | |
Welcome to Episode 74 of Webflail with Goodside Studio. Today my guests are Danielle Laroy and Jessica Strelioff. These two are long time creative collaborators but came together more formally last year to launch Goodside Studio. The ethos was: "One part visual. One part verbal. Weaving colour, concept, and copy into cohesive brand systems that scale.” Wait what? What does that mean? Well, Jessica is a brand identity designer with over 10 years experience working with the likes of Asana, Yahoo, Google and agencies such as Upperquad, Farm Design and Paladar. Danielle is a wordsmith that has smithed words for the likes of Patagonia, Robinhood and Google. To give you a taste of her wordsmithing, her website homepage says: Strategy with soul, Copy with character, Brands you want to hang out with. Alliteration for the nation. Has it all been as smooth as the words “copy with character" would suggest though? You guessed it. No it hasn’t. The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

Welcome to Episode 73 of Webflail with Michael Riddering. Now if you’re in the Webflow space, I have no doubt you’ve seen Michael around but on the off-chance that my mum is listening and won’t know who he is, he is the founder of Figma Academy where he has taught over 4000 designers. He’s also the creator of dive club where the best designers never stop learning - there are a series of courses there from Michael but other designers too, and he also has a podcast called Deep Dives, where he interviews the most prolific designers in the space. Before this, he was the founding designer at Maven, an online, cohort based learning platform. The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are: 1) Pre-selling a SaaS platform for my startup to extend runway. 2) Designing maven onboarding. 3) Launched @joindiveclub as a school but tbh I couldn't get it to work.

Hen-ry.com says it all - clean fonts, shimmering gradients, 3D animations is the name of the game to create elegant, flowing and pleasing websites. Despite being a young gun in the Webflow space, Henry has worked with YouTube greats like Ali Abdaal and Jamie Rawsthorne as well as start ups too. Fun facts - Henry wears caps a lot, he’s currently digital nomading around (in turkey at the time of this call) and he’s bullish on learning spline. As with anyone that’s working with these type of clients and making saucy work this early on in their journey, Henry has had some highs and lows so far. The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:

| Ep 71 | Why Johnnie walked away from an agency he built for 10 years | With Johnnie Gomez | 09 Jan 2024 | 00:51:02 | |
Welcome to Episode 71 of Webflail with Johnnie Gómez . He’s Staff Brand Designer, Web at Webflow but before joining webflow in 2019, he ran a digital agency together with my business partner for the last decade. They worked with all sorts of clients in all kinds of projects including fashion campaigns, ads, branding, store design & signage, web design and development, mailing and drip campaigns. ANYTHING CREATIVE, JOHNNIE HAS DONE IT. Kevin arleo: “Johnnie is that kind of people that is hard to find. There is no need to say that he is an amazing, chameleon-like designer that can do any type of work with brilliance because his work speaks for himself. But the thing is, that Johnnie is an incredible human being with a great sense of empathy. I have never seen someone who cares so much for his coworkers and the design community. He is always willing to teach and learn from others. His energy and kindness are contagious. My advice for anyone considering working with Johnnie would be: DO IT, don't miss that opportunity.” The failures that we will talk about today are:

| Ep 68 | "We Charged 900 Dollars A Month... For Unlimited Design" - The Honest Truth About Subscription Based Pricing | With Keith Armstrong | 19 Dec 2023 | 00:54:50 | |
Welcome to Episode 68 of Webflail with Keith Armstrong. This undersells Keith in my opinion. He is the founder of Flowsparrow, a subscription based Webflow service. He’s been involved with Flowparty, I’ve heard him share wisdom on Twitter Lives, he had a newsletter for a while called the div dive. He’s keen to help others is what I’ve seen and that goes a long way. Not only that, he’s just started Remote Supply - a clothing brand with a 90s feel. But naturally, no road is perfectly straight! The fails that we’ll discuss today are: 1. Not letting go of control and trusting team members 2. Subscription VS. Project Based 3. Burnout & Side Projects TRY OUT WEBFLOW | |||
| Moment 22 | "No One Gives A F*** About What You're Doing... And That's Encouraging" | With Isabel Edwards | 18 Dec 2023 | 00:07:57 | |
In this moment, Isabel and Jack have a compelling conversation about challenging job experiences and how they can serve as unexpected catalysts for personal and professional development. Jack and Isabel explore the idea that every job, good or bad, contributes valuable skills and perspectives, such as relationship building and communication enhancement. We also address the common fears of starting new ventures, like podcasting, and the paralysis that can result from overanalyzing choices such as tools and client acquisition. Isabel also emphasises the need to normalise and openly discuss failure as an integral part of the journey to success. TRY OUT WEBFLOW | |||
