Webflow Work in Progress — 2026
I was migrating the Eleos Health website from WordPress to Webflow at the time of my departure. I built a brand new infrastructure in Webflow, including over a dozen customizable components, in two days. The image below shows the progress I made on the redesigned homepage using my reusable components, accomplished in less than a week.
