Story: Display the evidence

At the end of 2021, I am preparing for 2022 during the holiday. There are some home works, LinkedIn, Facebook Ads, Google Ads, SEO, etc even though the current client’s work pushes my learning schedule.

Anyway, I wanted to show Webflow Experts Certification to Upwork clients to improve engagement. I contacted Webflow support before the holiday. Support sent me the link to the course. I personally watched a lot of Webflow tutorials on YouTube since 2019. I explained it. Then, the support sent me a link to the exam. However, I did not want to fail it. So, I watched the video in a few hours after all.

This is the record of Webflow Experts Certification.

Partner program application

After the holiday, I received an email from Webflow support. She requested to submit the application. It’s straightforward if you have 3+ client projects.

Webflow shows the criteria of evaluation. Since I provided a Webflow website to a client, Webflow has been updated a lot. I re-visited websites. Some interactions do not work. Alt, accessibility, display breakpoint, there are many points I need to adjust now.

If a designer transferred the website to the client account (and no access info) what do we do? Anyway, I am waiting for the response from Webflow.

*Updated: March 4, 2022

I did not expect any response from Webflow. I checked the evaluation table above and I know what I did not do on the client website. I had so many to do, but I transferred the Webflow website to the client account. I cannot do anything right now. I have 2 client accounts that belong to my account. I updated it after the submission.

I received the email this morning. I could be a Webflow official partner. As I said, I know the huge gap between me and a Webflow expert. You can find Webflow experts on YouTube.I am not that level. I will keep learning.

Conclusion: Prioritized

It’s a holiday, but I am working at WeWork as same as usual. Obviously fewer people compared to ordinally week. I slide my holiday to late January. I will update the plan in the future.

“How we spend time now will generate the result of the future.”

Taking a break, spending time with family and friends, eating and drinking, reading books, watching movies, or being lazy, etc. There is no answer. it’s a choice. I would like to improve at least 1 mm every day. I decide to complete the Webflow Experts Certification before the holiday. Mission accomplished.

I don’t think I am the Webflow master. After all, I have to keep learning. I can only compliment my spontaneous action. Good job!
