Early Beginnings: How Khizer Khan Started in Webflow
Q: How did you first discover Webflow, and what drew you to it?
I started as a traditional web developer, working with WordPress, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But I always felt limited by WordPress’s plugin dependency and rigid themes.
When I discovered Webflow, I was blown away by the level of design freedom and visual control it offered. The fact that I could build custom, high-performance websites without writing excessive code made it an easy choice.

I saw a huge demand for modern, no-code solutions in the market. Businesses wanted websites that were:
- Fast and high-performing
- Easy to manage without developers
- Designed without template limitations
Starting Devdwell was a way to provide custom Webflow solutions that outperformed traditional web development.
We specialize in converting Figma designs to Webflow, building scalable CMS sites, and integrating advanced interactions using GSAP and Webflow animations.
