POD 40 - Component-First Building in Webflow Is Here to Stay - with Alessia Sannazzaro

In this episode, I sit down with Alessia Sannazzaro managing director of Code & Wonder, to talk about component-first building in Webflow and why it’s here to stay.


We dig into Alessia’s thinking behind a component-first approach: reducing the need for class naming, using variants instead of classes, and making Webflow sites easier and safer for clients to edit. We also talk about open vs closed components, where current Webflow limitations still exist, and how close we are to building a true “website builder inside Webflow.”


Beyond frameworks, Alessia shares how Code & Wonder transitioned from WordPress to Webflow during the pandemic, how they think about client education, and where they see Webflow heading next.
