Welcome to Webflow University

Webflow is the agentic web marketing platform where marketers, designers, developers, content teams, and AI agents come together to build, manage, and optimize web experiences. Whatever your role, this is where your team turns ideas into live, working websites.

This first course is a quick orientation — the lay of the land before you start the role-based learning built around how you actually work. It's short on purpose. 

Think of this as your starting point. The goal isn't to teach you everything Webflow does; it's to get you confident enough to open a site, understand how your team works, and know where to go next. We’ll keep things high-level here, and you’ll go deeper as you continue through Webflow University.

What you’ll learn

In this course, we’ll walk through the basics of the Webflow platform, including the tools teams use to design, build, manage, publish, and optimize websites.

You’ll also learn how to navigate the two places you’ll use most often:

• The Dashboard, where your sites and workspace live
• The canvas, where you build, edit, review, and collaborate on your site
  

Your view of Webflow depends on your role — Designer, Marketer, Content Editor, or Reviewer. Throughout these lessons, we'll call out what's different for each one, so don't worry if your screen doesn't match a screenshot exactly. That's by design.

This course combines short videos with text lessons like this one. The videos give you a guided walkthrough of key concepts, while the text lessons give you a place to review important details, screenshots, and helpful notes at your own pace.

You’ll start with a high-level overview of Webflow, then move into navigation, collaboration, and where to go next.
