Webflow Without Finsweet? Not in My Workflow

Webflow is amazing, but there are things it just doesn’t do natively. That’s where Finsweet comes in. If you’ve ever wished Webflow had filtering, better CMS control, or a cleaner dashboard  Finsweet fixes all of that without custom code.

This blog is for Webflow pros, freelancers, and founders who want to build better  and faster  using two of Finsweet’s biggest tools: Finsweet Attributes and the Finsweet Extension.

What Is Finsweet?

Finsweet is a team of Webflow experts who build tools that extend what’s possible in Webflow  without needing a developer. Their free tools and libraries have become the default standard for pros who want to push Webflow further.

Finsweet Attributes: The Real Magic

Finsweet Attributes is a nocode library of HTMLbased features you can add to Webflow projects. You copy and paste attributes to elements in your site, and suddenly you have functionality like filtering, sliders, tabs, load more, and more  all without custom JS.

What I Use Finsweet Attributes For:

CMS Filter: Filter blog posts, testimonials, or products live on the pageCMS Load: Add a “load more” button that works without page reloadsTabs and Accordions: Clean layout components, easy to maintainDynamic Slider: CMSpowered sliders for hero sections or portfolios

Why it matters: It’s fast, flexible, and keeps the build maintainable. Clients love how smooth it feels. I love not writing code for the 100th time.

The Finsweet Extension for Webflow

The Finsweet Chrome Extension adds useful utilities to the Webflow Designer itself. It improves how you manage styles, breakpoints, redirects, and more  directly inside your Webflow workspace.

Features I Actually Use:

Bulk 301 Redirect Upload: Huge timesaver during site launches or migrationsSort and Reorder Symbols, Swatches, and Interactions: Keeps the project clean and organizedVertical Canvas Resizing: Makes responsive design easierQuick Access to Cookie Consent + Attribute Docs: Less tab switching, more building

Why it matters: It saves time, reduces friction, and makes the Designer feel like a power tool instead of just a builder.

Why I Use Finsweet Instead of Custom Code

Sure, I could code it manually. But why?Finsweet tools are stable, supported, and easy to updateClients don’t break things as easilyI can move faster without compromising quality

Should Founders Care About This?

Probably not  but the results matter.Your users will get faster sites with better UX, and your team won’t have to call a developer every time they want to change something.

I usually explain it like this to clients: “Finsweet is the reason your site feels smooth without taking three weeks to build.”

Final Thoughts

Webflow works great on its own, but Finsweet takes it to another level. Whether it's Attributes for smoother site functionality or the Extension to keep things clean and fast  it’s part of my everyday workflow.
