Chapter 3: Setting Up Your First Project

Now that we've covered some foundational principles, it's time to step into Webflow.

In this chapter, we'll take a look at the first project you'll be building in Webflow: a landing page for a fictitious food delivery app. After signing up for a free plan on Webflow, we'll do a quick tour of the Webflow interface and have you set up and ready to start building.

As such, we'll cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Landing page project overview
  • Understanding the Webflow plans and signing up
  • Downloading the required assets for the first project
  • Quick orientation tour of the Webflow interface

Since every journey worth taking starts with vision setting, let's start at the end, taking a look at what you'll have proudly built by the end of your first project.
