Now that we've introduced you to the Webflow user interface and you have a good idea of how the product is laid out, let's take a look at a brief.
Imagine you have been contacted by a toymaker in Denmark. The company is called Pinocchio. They make sustainable wooden toys out of wood from felled or dead trees. They would like an e-commerce website set up to sell their wooden toys internationally.
The customer does not know what their branding could look like, and they also have no idea what they need to give you to design a good website. They are not tech-savvy and will need your help to get the content ready for the website.
INFO
If you are having difficulty imagining what the customer would like, we imagine it would be something like the PlanToys website.
Part 1
Spend a few minutes thinking about which features the website should have. Take a look at the example above and write down how many pages you think the website needs and what content should be on them. Will the e-commerce template we used in this lesson be suitable?
Part 2
Spend 15 minutes creating a mood board that would showcase the fonts and colors you would like to use.
Part 3
Customize the homepage of your website to suit the design as much as possible. This does not need to be 100% complete but is an opportunity for you to apply what you have learnt today and to learn as much as you like.
TIP You can use the visual editor (Editor) instead of Designer for part three if you want to try something different.
The website should be friendly and clean looking. With bright colors and playful fonts.
They need to have at least:
Homepage
Store/Products page

The e-commerce template we used might work, but there are better options.

Conclusion:
Webflow is a beast... I would love to learn how to work with it as it is the most advanced and detailed CMS so far. However learning how to work with it and create good websites will take time... a lot of time. I am determined to practice and learn more when I have the time.
