Has anyone used Pinegrow to design a website in Webflow, except for Forms and CMS features, and if so, what resources were helpful in the process?
To design a website in Webflow using Pinegrow, you need to have a good understanding of both platforms. While Pinegrow is primarily a desktop app for building websites with responsive design capabilities, Webflow is a comprehensive web design and development tool that offers features like forms and CMS integration.
To accomplish this, here are some steps you can follow along with helpful resources:
Familiarize yourself with Pinegrow: Understand how Pinegrow works and its interface by going through their official documentation and video tutorials. This will give you a solid foundation to start building websites using Pinegrow.
Learn the basics of Webflow: Before integrating Pinegrow with Webflow, it's essential to have a good grasp of Webflow's features. Visit Webflow University, which offers an array of tutorials and resources to help you get up to speed with Webflow's functionality and design capabilities.
Design your website in Pinegrow: Once you're comfortable with both Pinegrow and Webflow, start designing your website layout in Pinegrow. Take advantage of Pinegrow's visual editing tools, responsive design modes, and drag-and-drop components to create the desired structure and styling of your site.
Export and import into Webflow: After completing the design in Pinegrow, export the HTML and CSS files from Pinegrow. In Webflow, you can create a new project and import these files. Webflow's Designer will allow you to fine-tune your design, add interactions, and make any necessary adjustments to optimize the website for various devices.
Customize forms and CMS features in Webflow: Since Pinegrow doesn't have built-in support for Webflow's form and CMS features, you'll need to handle these aspects directly in Webflow. Utilize Webflow's form builder to create custom forms with validation and submission handling. If needed, integrate Webflow's CMS to enable dynamic content management. Read Webflow's documentation and tutorials specifically on forms and CMS to understand the process thoroughly.
