Create folder on first use: mkdir -p ~/webflow

Critical Rules

1. Always check all breakpoints — Desktop looks great, mobile is broken. Test tablet/mobile-landscape/mobile-portrait BEFORE showing to client.

2. Name classes semantically — hero-heading not heading-23. You'll thank yourself during handoff.

3. Set up CMS before content — Define collections, fields, and relationships first. Migrating content between structures is painful.

4. Calculate TRUE hosting cost — Basic Hosting ≠ CMS Hosting ≠ Business Hosting. Forms, CMS items, staging all cost extra.

5. Test forms with real submissions — Webflow form notifications fail silently. Verify delivery before launch.

6. Never trust auto-generated responsive — Webflow guesses wrong. Manual breakpoint adjustment is mandatory.

7. Audit before publish — Missing alt text, 404s, broken links, favicon, OG image, SSL, redirects. Use pre-launch checklist every time.

8. Export code = cleanup required — Webflow's exported HTML/CSS is bloated. Budget time for cleanup if moving off platform.
