Our step-by-step on how we became a Webflow Enterprise Partner

After 2 years of working with Webflow and building more than 100 projects.

We can finally say that we are a Webflow Enterprise Partner.

Here are the steps we took to become Webflow Enterprise Partners🧵

1) Focus ⭐

Our agency Minimum.run was built in 2020.

Our main focus was on validating our business hypothesis:

To build a profitable no-code agency able to build digital products and e-commerce sites using #nocode tools faster than with traditional development to save time and money.

2) Blue Ocean 🌊

Almost nobody at the time knew what was no code and what were the best tools.

We started to research and use tools such as Webflow, Bubble, Typeform, Zapier, Make (Formerly Integromat) and start to use them to build our first MVPs and product marketing sites.

3) First Customers 🦄

Our first customers were all startups and venture builders.

Sales cycles with this type of companies are short. This allowed us to close new deals faster and experiment with building new products with different tools and integrations.

One of the winners for us: Webflow

4) Build your Portfolio 🤝

Little by little, we started to add larger companies to our portfolio.

In the beginning, Webflow was more popular with startups and freelancers, but with time, it has improved its product and added new features to work with larger companies.

5) Partner with Webflow ❤️

So what are the types of partners that Webflow accepts and what are the requirements to become a partner?

There are 2 different types of partnerships:

  1. Professionals more focused on self-service SMB
  2. Enterprise more specialized in large companies

6) How can I become a Webflow Enterprise partner?

It is simple, you just need to sell Webflow to a large company or corporation :-) in our case, it took almost a year to sign it 😅

7) What are the benefits?

  • They can source you enterprise deals that need professional support from experts

  • You can get referral fees from the new businesses you bring them

8) Large Companies and Corporates 😅

Working with large companies is more challenging than working with startups.

They are more demanding. Mainly you have more stakeholders to validate the technology and more security restrictions.

In our case, we had to work together with Webflow and the Corporate team to make it happen.

It is important to have a champion inside of the company who really believes in the potential of the technology and will help you sell it internally.

Very grateful, this has been possible thanks to our amazing team at
MinimumRun and our customers 💜

    Awesome job - what's the next phase of growth for you?

      Thanks mate!

      Our new challenge is to grow our own product for the Webflow community: https://polyflow.co

        Polyflow looks awesome.

        Can you let me know how do you create such great Animated Videos for the landing pages? Do you outsource it?

    Nice work. The no-code revolution is still just beginning. I think it's really going to be the no-code decade (2020-2030). By 2030, I'd imagine only a small fraction of new software development will be done in non-visual IDE's for only very specialized use cases.

  3. 1

    Well done! I'm just starting with Webflow. And although I am often struggling with its restrictions, so far I have always found a workaround with other third-party no-code solutions or my own custom code. And I can totally see Webflow becoming an absolute staple in web design and development (e.g. they just released the public beta for their new Logic feature: https://webflow.com/logic)
