There are hundreds of no-code tools out there, but as a Webflow developer, if I had to choose just 7 tools for my stack in 2024, they'd be the following:

Short version ↓

  1. Relume Library (IA): Accelerate your development process
  2. Finsweet Chrome Extension: +80 tech features specially designed to push the limits of Webflow.
  3. Midjourney (AI): Using AI to generate images as an alternative to traditional image banks.
  4. ChatGPT (IA ): Do I really need to explain? 😉
  5. Figma: the perfect tool for combining design and collaboration.
  6. Squoosh.app: Free, efficient tool for reformatting your images.
  7. Detailed SEO extension: A useful all-in-one tool that makes it easy to audit a site's SEO.

Long version ↓

1 - Relume Library (IA)

With its many features ;

  • Copy/paste library of responsive components for Figma and Webflow
  • Artificial intelligence generation of sitemaps and/or wireframes
  • Copywriting generation via AI on web wireframe
  • SVG icon library
  • Chrome extension for the Webflow interface

The Relume Library is the tool that speeds up my development process the most.

💶 Price: From $38 per month

💡 It's important for you to see this price as an investment: if this tool enables you to develop 2x as many sites per year, the $38 per month will pay for itself very, very quickly.

2 - Finsweet Chrome Extension

Example of Finsweet Extension's Unbind CMS functionality

With over 80 features specially developed to enhance your workflow, Finsweet Chrome Extension is by far the best technical extension for Webflow.

Apart from the Finsweet attributes, which need no introduction, the 'Unbind CMS' feature, which disconnects a CMS collection from a set of elements, is probably my favorite.

💶 Price: Free

3 - Midjourney (IA)

Midjourney is an artificial intelligence that allows you to generate beautiful, unique and customizable images in just a few minutes, based on a prompt.

It's an ideal alternative for replacing empty placeholders when delivering a project (if the client's content isn't ready), or for adding a more personalized touch than the well-known and over-seen images from free image banks like Pexels or Unsplash.

💶 Price: From $8 per month

4 - ChatGPT (AI)

Do I really need to explain? 😉 The use cases for this artificial intelligence are numerous:

  • Correction of erroneous code,
  • JavaScript code generation,
  • Quick editing of custom CSS code,
  • Copywriting for the customer's website (e.g. Titles and Meta Tags, replacement of Lorem Ipsum, etc.).

💶 Price: Free

5 - Figma

Example of a Figma layout for an artistic website

Figma is a powerful design tool that is both intuitive and collaborative. It's a no-code tool that every Webflow developer needs to master, in order to :

  • Create SVG shapes to integrate into site development,
  • Crop visuals for integration into a specific project or layout,
  • Interact with customers or designers in charge of the project (tests & iterations, feedback, questions, etc.) from a single interface,

and many other applications...

💶 Price: Free

6 - Squoosh.app

Example of use of Squoosh image converter

Squoosh is a simple, intuitive tool developed by Google that lets you resize and compress your images in a variety of formats: WebP, MozJpeg and more. Simply drag and drop your visuals and choose the transformations you wish to apply in the functionality panel.

This is a real plus, for integrating images into your Webflow site according to best practices. This ensures fast loading of the entire site once it's online.

Bonus: You can manage the level of quality and compression, to keep the rendering sharp.

💶 Price: Free

7 - Detailed SEO extension

This free Chrome extension allows you to audit, in just a few clicks and from a single interface, whether your site's pages comply with SEO best practices once they've been put online (also works on the webflow.io version):

  • Title Tag SEO
  • Meta Tag SEO
  • Alt Text
  • Heading structure (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
  • Structured data
  • Etc...
