  • Ep 87 | How To Create A Successful Side Project | with Rob Hope
    Apr 30 2024

    Episode 87 of the Webflail podcast is with Rob Hope! Yo! Podcast creator, One Page Love Founder and prolific creator with over 15 other projects that were either sold or slowed...

    Rob was a freelancer for a decade designing and building websites for clients BUT HE NOTICED A PROBLEM

    Clients used adjectives to describe what they wanted for websites but there wasn’t Godly or Landing Love like there is now.

    So Rob started collecting website references to show to clients

    As you may have guessed, this led to the creation of ONE Page Love. Since 2008, he’s curated over 8,000 single page websites.

    Now Rob is a prolific creator.

    He’s started dozens of other projects from hosting companies to audio recording apps, to domain names to a Music social network and blog creator called Rock Lifestyle.

    Of course, some worked, some didn’t.

    One Page love has been far from smooth sailing too. If you are one of the OGs that’s listened to 86 episodes of the pod, you know some of the most successful people have had some of the most epic fails…

    The failiures we’ll talk about in this episode are:

    1) Starting a hosting company

    2) Going all in on one stream of monetization on One Page Love

    3) Hiring someone full time when it wasn’t right

  • Ep 86 | 3 key lessons learnt leading teams at Webflow, Twitter and Cloudflare | with Jess Rosenberg
    Apr 23 2024

    Today my guest is Jess Rosenberg. Jess is an obscenely talented individual.

    Jess is a design & creative leader, designer, manager, ideas person with 18+ years of experience helping brands tell their stories in differentiated and breakthrough ways.

    You may know her because she was the director of Brand Design & Creative at ​Webflow​ - she scaled Brand Studio team from 8 to 18 in under two years.

    She’s worked at Twitter, Cloudflare, Mural, Webflow and her ideas and leadership have influenced many tools and products you use today which is wild.

    And she’s just launched a podcast called Ladies Who Create with ​Liz Meyer ​which is excellent with guests such as ​Grace Walker​, ​Jessica Strelioff​ & ​Danielle LaRoy​ and ​Steph Jeong​

    Basically, she’s a big deal.

    The failures we discuss are:

    1) Desiring to be liked by everyone as a manager early on
    2) Imposter syndrome
    3) Being hands on in the work

  • Ep 85 | Accenture employees to Webflow Enterprise Agency Founders | with Tim Janes & Dan Foster
    Apr 15 2024

    Today my guests are Tim Janes and Dan Foster, co-founders of MakeBuild Studio - a design and innovation studio from London in the UK.

    Tim’s background as a visual designer and Dan’s background digital designer and UX consultant meant these 2 were a power duo when starting Makebuild 4 years ago.

    Though they have designed and built a lotttt of Webflow websites, they have also been experimenting emerging technologies like AR. In fact, recently, they made an AR project with Fruitella - the sweet brand. To help launch a new jelly sweets, they created a world and then select a creature which you could see in your living room on your phone screen.

    Makebuild have recently hired Liam Mews and Greg Faulkner so they’re flying high and growing a team but we want to know about how they got here don’t we?!

    The failures that we’ll talk about in this episode are:

    1) Not scaling up the team early enough

    2) Not niching down early enough

    3) Not focusing on producing great work
