Five-day Webflow passes that stress-test the story (before SvelteKit ships)

We still move fast early — but marketing narrative lives in Webflow; operational software belongs in SvelteKit on Cloudflare.

Marketing prototypes are still for learning

We can ship clickable marketing surfaces in Webflow within days — polished copy, realistic CMS structure, funnel links that founders and sales can tear apart. That’s where stakeholders say “you’re positioning us wrong.” Looks matter less than honesty.

Operational screens — approvals, guards, manifests, payouts — aren’t placeholders inside Webflow. If we need something clickable beyond marketing, we throw it directly into SvelteKit scaffolding so we prototype in the runtime that ships.

What we fake inside Webflow

  • Hero arcs, FAQs, objection handling, comparisons
  • Lead capture and attribution-friendly UTMs tied to CRM fields
  • SEO-friendly URL structure mirrored in production CMS collections

What we don’t relocate to Webflow

  • Role-based workspaces your teams live in nightly
  • Business rules that drift when someone tweaks a SaaS checklist
  • Integrations touching money movement or contractual obligations — those prototypes live beside production code conventions

After approval

Marketing collections migrate into the live Webflow project. Screens employees depend on migrate into SvelteKit bundles behind Cloudflare. Webflow stays the public story layer; automation stays where operators can audit it.
