Why Webflow?
Visual Content Editor
The «Editor» mode allows you to make changes to most website texts and images through a visual editor. This doesn’t require involving a developer, knowledge of HTML, or FTP skills.
SEO-Friendly
Unlike many website builders, Webflow delivers clean code and offers SEO options: meta-data, canonical URLs, sitemap, robots.txt. The list of settings is unlimited: if a needed option isn’t available, it can always be added through custom code.
Animations of Any Complexity
Interactions 2.0, Lottie technology support, multi-format video, and WebGL integration capabilities provide extensive options for animating layouts.
Unlimited Design Freedom
Webflow doesn’t limit designers and developers: you can implement design mockups with unconventional solutions. Built-in breakpoints for different screen sizes allow for responsive design. Style optimization through Webflow helps maintain consistent website layout across different browsers. Example of unconventional layout.
Code Export
Webflow allows you to export website code and use it in other CMS platforms: WordPress, Bitrix, PHP frameworks. Individual pages and blocks can be exported to other builders.
Atman’s Expertise
Quick Launch
Knowledge of the “Designer” mode and the presence of code patterns for helps us to launch websites on Webflow in a short time. This is convenient if there is a hard deadline.
Integrations & Migrations to Other CMS
We have successful experience in transferring the layout, functionality and database from Webflow to WordPress, Bitrix, PHP frameworks, Python, Tilda. Depending on the circumstances, we can offer quick transfer options that take from 3 working days.
Webflow & Redash — Real-Time Analytics
Consistency in Design & Layouts
We develop design layouts systematically through style guides and components, simultaneously describing the rules for layout and preserving the integrity of the original concept. We transfer the system of colors, fonts and components to the layout. We are actively reusing the ready-made system in the development of the project after launch.
Knowledge Base for Customers
If we work with the project for a long time, we create a knowledge base and share instructions and video lessons with the client.
Basic SEO & Analytics Included
By default, we specify H1 and meta headings, meta descriptions, an image for social networks (og:image), alt texts for images for the site pages. We use semantic tags in the layout (section, article, header, footer, nav). We connect analytics and technical monitoring services: Yandex.Metrica, Yandex.Webmaster and /or their analogues in Google.
Technical Excellence
We use the capabilities of Webflow to speed up and optimize sites: we minify code, raster and vector images. If there are forms on the site, we will organize a captcha, a cookie bar and a privacy policy page.

FAQ
Changes occurred while working on the project. What will happen next?
Atman assesses the scale of changes and further two options are possible. If the changes are minor, we make them within the framework of the main agreement. If the changes are time-consuming, we mark them up and implement them under an additional agreement.
Often we enter into the position of the client. If there is agreement with our approach, we can make changes even before the signing of documents and payments.
Can the project go beyond the budget guidelines?
At the briefing stage, Atman clarifies issues critical for determining the budget, so the actual change of estimates during the project is rare. We build communication with the client in such a way as to stay within the fixed budget, offering appropriate solutions. If a budget change is still required, it usually comes from a change in the client’s request. In this case, we warn you in advance, mark the changes and perform them as additional work.
Can the project go beyond the time benchmarks?
Atman gives an estimate of the timing of the project stages, based on the load on the team and the amount of work. At the same time, the client’s actions are not taken into account in the deadline: waiting for materials, signing contracts and acts, acceptance of intermediate stages of work and preparation of lists of comments. As a rule, we do our part of the work on time. It often turns out to pass the stages faster than planned.
How is the process of concluding a contract organized, what to request from the accounting department?
We request the counterparty’s card and contact mail & phone from customers. Next, we bring the client into our CRM, prepare and send documents for approval. After approval, we sign in the documents and start working on the project.
Will you disappear after the project is finished?
In each project, we include a 3-month warranty period, during which we stay in touch with the client and fix bugs and flaws. At the request of the client, during the project or after its completion, we prepare instructions, provide consultations, and train company representatives.
We are open to the development of the developed solution and the provision of support services, if there is a sufficient amount of work.
As a rule, we do not provide small requests and consultations, but we try to recommend performers who will help.
What guarantee do you provide for the developed solution?
3 months after the signing of the act of delivery of works: we fix bugs and defects found on the site (content, design, functionality) for free, if they are caused by our work.
How many design options do you make under the contract?
Usually we lay 2 iterations of approvals for a prototype, a design concept, design layouts and 1 iteration for layout. An iteration is a list of the client’s comments on the interim result of the work. There can be infinitely many comments in one iteration, but the number of iterations is limited. Theoretically, according to this logic, up to 3 different design concepts are included in the work (one is prepared by us, the second you can ask us at the design concept stage within the 1st iteration, the third — within the 2nd iteration). However, we try to find a common language with the client in the course of the project and take into account all the «wishes» in the first concept, which we then iteratively refine.
What is your payment system and reporting?
For small projects, the payment procedure is «50/50», for large projects — «30/30/40»: prepayment of 30%, 30% after approval of design layouts, 40% after the project is completed. We sign the acts twice: after agreeing on the design layouts and after the site is delivered. Inside the project, we put timings into stages and return with the results of the work within the timings.
Will a separate manager be allocated for the project?
Yes, the project will be managed by a separate Atman manager, communication with whom is available by mail and via Telegram. We are open to scheduled online meetings in Zoom and other services. We do not accept unplanned phone calls and messengers.
