Hey! After doing a bit more research I've decided to go the full coding route as well as learn webflow. I think the 2 will compliment each other and allow more opportunity for more niched down work, as well as stand out from what is already a massive surge in web designers to improved builders such as webflow.
Good luck with it all.

If you want to learn front-end coding, like HTML/CSS/JavaScript I'd say: absolutely.
I've seen several people go with Webflow without the knowledge of the above and... nope, you can't make it right.
You can't create good stuff without knowing what is flexbox and how css grid works...
Not talking about integrating some JS script and having some advanced functionalities.
But if your goal is starting an agency or freelancing, don't go crazy over learning 10 languages, backend, etc... it's just not necessary.
Hi,
Can you give some tips to get clients on upwork ?
I've been trying to get webflow jobs on upwork for the last 2 months but no luck
I believe I need to improve my proposal letter
My experience as Webflow Specialist on Upwork in bullet points:
- 90% (if not 95%) of job posts won't turn into a hire: out of 20 application, 18 jobs expired after 1 month, no one hired
- There's a lot of competition
- I just got lucky. No tricks, no special proposal.
Somehow a guy liked my being straightforward, or being available immediately, or perhaps my portfolio.
He hired me and luckily was a very good client. - Even if i have a 5 star review, overtaken the "+$1k earned" criteria, and a portfolio with 6-7 pieces, i still didn't get considered that much
But here's what you can do to increase your chances: get hyper specialized.
I didn't do this, because I decided to take another route so i kind of dropped Upwork nowadays.
Go through the job posts, group them by "kind of application" or "tech stack".
Example: multi-step form in Webflow; or membership site with Webflow + Memberstack; and so on.
Learn how to develop that specific kind of application and make case studies: that should help to rise above 98% of people there.
