One of my favourite dev tricks: a custom CSS grid that mimics Figma’s layout grid. With Shift+G, I can toggle it on/off, keeping layouts perfectly aligned, workflow fast, and designs clean. Works for both custom code + Webflow.

Been putting this off for months, but finally did it — I’m now a Webflow Certified Partner!

I applied on Feb 18, got approved today, and the process was way smoother than I expected. No back-and-forth, just straight approval.

It's my pleasure.

Yeah, GSAP already handles GPU acceleration and performance optimizations efficiently in most cases.
However, adding will-change: transform manually in CSS can sometimes help smooth animations, particularly if you notice flickering on some devices.

1. Use transforms, not position/size - they're GPU-accelerated.
2. Set "will-change: transform" sparingly for key elements.
3. Check the DevTools performance tab to find specific bottlenecks.
4. Break complex animations into smaller, non-overlapping chunks.

Ah, performance issues with GSAP can be frustrating!
After using it for years now, there are a couple of things I've learnt (from the GSAP forum and by reading the code of other experienced creative devs) to do to achieve great performance.

Pageload animation (using @gsap-greensock.bsky.social ) for a studio's website.

If you watch until the end, you'll have the opportunity to see a grid system I created using #CSS, which helps me match Figma designs when building a site.

GreenSock eases with CSS linear() GreenSock eases with CSS linear(). GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I discovered an amazing resource from @jhey.dev : a collection of GSAP custom eases implemented in CSS with the linear() method.

The scroll in view animations are really good. Love the timing.

Unless the client clearly states they want the experience on mobile, I typically disable them on mobile. I think they aren't necessary for mobile.

Wow
That's a lot.

For me, 2 multi-page sites is the max I can go. I can do if it's a mix of landing pages and multi-page sites.

How do you ensure you're delivering the best quality across all sites?

Yeah, agree with you.
It's currently a good niche for a solid designer to get into at the moment. They can easily stand out.
