Native development
All developers start with a native-first approach. This means we will first attempt to satisfy all requirements using Webflow's native Designer. If it cannot be done or the native method is inefficient, we will use custom CSS, HTML, and JS. You can expect every delivery to be fully QA'd.
🧬 The Adaptable standard
Adaptable's developers are vetted experts that are trained to our own in-house standards and practices. Our development standard is designed to be performant and easily editable by anyone. New sites and migrated sites will always start with our standard.
Lightweight DOM structure - We layer the DOM in the most efficient way possible—no unnecessary frameworks that cause bloat and dependencies. Get an easy-to-use codebase that's efficient and scalable.
Component-based system - Elements are built to be modular for easy global usage. We use Webflow's symbols, variables, and dynamic element features to streamline your website's build.
Conventional naming - Class names are a hybrid of layman and technical wording so everyone is on the same page. Universal classes and strategic subclasses make it easy for anyone to edit and expand.
SEO best practices - We keep SEO in mind by implementing key elements like heading tags (h1, h2, h3, etc) and media attributes to improve your website's search engine rankings. To boost your speed we'll optimize images and videos accordingly.
🪴 Existing or preferred codebase
- Existing Webflow site - If you like your codebase we will stay within parameters and match it. We'll learn the build and ensure it stays scalable. Initial builds may experience slower turnaround until we are adjusted. If you don't like your codebase we can refactor it or start from scratch using our in-house standard.
- Existing "framework" - Using "Client-first" or "Wizardry" development styles on your website? We can examine the build and expand it by building new pages, features, or functions. Turnaround time will be slower if your projects use specific development standards and/or frameworks like Client-First or Wizardry.
💎 Quality assurance
Full QA is provided before every delivery. Adaptable developers and QA specialists check across multiple breakpoints and devices to ensure stability for all users. Builds are tested in the Designer tool and live in the browser to simulate real-world environments.
Interactions & animations
Our pool of developers can build any interaction in Webflow. We use Webflow's IX2 engine for all cases unless a limitation is present. Overcoming limitations and building advanced features are done using JavaScript.
✨ Webflow native interactions
Below are common features built using Webflow's IX2 engine inside the Designer tool.
- Button hovers
- Element fades (headings, blocks, media)
- Real-time style changes
- Scroll triggers
- Tab and slider animations
- Parallax movement
- Horizontal scrolls
- Popups and custom reveals
- Narrative / sequence layouts
- Action triggers
- Element movement and manipulation
- Asset control (Lottie, etc)
- More
📋 How to delegate
- Interactive prototype - You create animated interactions directly in your design or preferred motion tool. Recommended for complex or bespoke requests.
- On design file - Annotate your designs with descriptions and link references to other sites to emulate. Recommended for basic requests and 1:1 animation copies.
JavaScript / JQuery
🫱 Access
Use this option on Webflow On-Demand Growth or Business plans.
Our developers build native-first in Webflow's Designer, but when limitations are hit or special features are required, we use JavaScript. JavaScript services include Vanilla JavaScript, JQuery, and support of vetted and maintained, open-source utility libraries.
📚 What needs JavaScript on Webflow
Gain a clear understanding of which features require JavaScript, enabling you to confidently plan your project's complexity. Explore common examples below to see the type of JavaScript needed for each feature.
Filter, Sort, Search - For multi-filter options, search, checkbox, dropdown, and more. Normally seen on CMS collection pages like blogs, services, and products.
Advanced Interactions - For animations and interactions that go beyond Webflow's native IX2 engine. Normally associated with custom-tailored user interfaces and functionalities. Common examples include logic, dependency, or conditional based triggers and movement.
Cookies and Cache - For experiences that require cookies and/or cache to segment content and create conditional elements. Normally used for marketing triggers, and frontend user classification/attribution.
Form Validation - For custom user experiences applied to form handling for validation, error, and success.
Calculators - For on-page tools that allow users to calculate services and prices based on user input. Normally used for pricing calculators, usage estimation, order forms, and more.
Conditional Forms/Surveys - For forms that require multi-step logic and output based on user input. Normally used for order forms, Typeform clones, contact inquires, and feedback/data collection.
3rd Party / API integrations - For API-driven integrations that require a custom UX for GET/POST actions with 3rd party tools. Normally used for implementing bespoke tools in sales, HR, and marketing.
Webflow Pages "API" - For overcoming Webflow limitations like multiple nested collections. Normally used for creating pseudo APIs within Webflow's pages to access and connect more data in more places.
