Built a retro-styled blog using Webflow in under 3 days

This looks awesome! I love that this style is slowly coming back :D Also very cool that you have both retro and modern versions of your website - really smart! Did you get any additional attention from this or was it like a passion project?
And thank you 🙌 If you're curious about the content you can also view it in english here: https://en.getsummerrain.de/magazine . It's not perfect yet as it's automatically translated (we still have to manually rewrite a few things), but I hope it gives an idea :)

Agree with ya! No-code tools are getting more capable each day which allows many ideas to be built way faster than before

Thank you! 🙌 Yeah Webflow is awesome! It already lets you build almost any idea you have, excited to see where they go in the future :)

A true no-code blog with simple multi-language support and SEO tooling is probably even more easily achieved in Wordpress to be honest. Webflow you still have to 'think like an engineer' at times, even if you don't know how to write code.

Great questions!
In my experience Webflow is as no-code as it gets. You can build lots of amazing things from landing pages with lots of animations and interactions to blogs and e-commerce websites. You can also add custom code for things that are not natively available in Webflow, but it's very easy to do with scripts from Finsweet and such. We had to add two scripts on this project, one to make divs draggable and another one to put a div in focus once you click on it.
Webflow does not have built-in language switchers and that actually sucks, because it's a highly requested feature. That's also a thing about Webflow, the product is very solid but they take their time shipping new features and they're very selective about it. There are a few third-party services for this, we use one called Weglot. It's a bit buggy sometimes but it's easy to set up and it gets the job done. It covers the SEO part as well, but one thing to keep in mind is that you have to manually add hreflang tags on each page and not simply add it once in the project settings as Weglot says, we wasted a bit of time on this 😅.
Alternatively, if you're looking to build a blog you can create a separate CMS collection for each language which will create duplicate pages, which works for smaller projects, but then you have to make sure you add hreflang manually as well.
Hope this helps! There're some tradeoffs with Webflow but it's totally worth it imo :)

Both, but I prefer designing myself :)

Thank you 😊🙏
