https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/ Thoughts on web development, career shifts, and building things that matter. en-us Mon, 14 Sep 2026 07:57:28 GMT https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/source-by-webflow/ https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/source-by-webflow/ Webflow Conf 2026 kicked off with Source — a new platform that brings code, visual development, and AI agents into one shared environment. Here's my honest take on what it means for Webflow developers. Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/client-first-webflow/ https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/client-first-webflow/ My uncle told me to learn Client-First. I didn't get it at first. Then I practiced, and it changed how I build in Webflow. Here's what happened — and why I tried Lumos and went back.

I did it with ShipStudio and OpenCode — here's how it works and why it costs less than you think.

Pan & Zoom is genuinely great. MCP depends on the task — ~20% on a from-scratch build, ~70% on CMS edits. My honest review of both.

I just give Claude a live URL, it finds dead links, missing OG images, CMS gaps, and broken layouts. Then I connect it to Webflow and let it apply every fix. Here's the exact workflow.

Here's what actually broke, what I skipped on purpose, and what you should never skip no matter how tight the deadline. Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/ai-vs-webflow/ https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/ai-vs-webflow/ AI tools, cheaper stacks, and pricing complaints — is Webflow's moat shrinking, or is the platform evolving fast enough? A Webflow developer's honest take. Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/my-journey/ https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/my-journey/ How I went from laborer to barista to self-taught Webflow developer — and why every stage mattered. Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/why-webflow/ https://mabdullahshahzad.com/blog/why-webflow/ How I discovered Webflow, what makes it different from traditional coding, and why it became my platform of choice.
