If you’ve ever felt limited by Webflow’s native features, you’re not alone. As powerful as Webflow is, there are always those small frustrations—things you wish it could do but can’t. Maybe it’s collecting client feedback without the endless back-and-forth, streamlining your design workflow, or adding backend-like functionality without switching platforms.

Here’s the good news: there are tools designed specifically to fill these gaps and make your life so much easier.

In this post, I’m sharing six tools that will help you:

  • Streamline your feedback process and save hours on communication.
  • Add advanced features to your projects that Webflow doesn’t support natively.
  • Speed up your design and development workflows, so you can focus on the fun stuff.

Whether you’re a freelancer, agency, or just starting out, these tools are all about helping you build better, faster, and smarter in Webflow. Let’s dive in!

Automate Landing Pages in Webflow

Discover how to generate programmatic landing pages with Webflow CMS, Airtable, and AI to scale your marketing.

Tool #1: Pastel - Simplify Client Feedback

Struggling with messy client feedback? Pastel is here to save the day. Instead of chasing comments across emails or Slack, Pastel lets your clients leave feedback directly on your live site.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Enter your site’s URL in Pastel.
  2. It creates an interactive version of your site.
  3. Clients or teammates can click on any part of the site and leave comments.

For example, a client can click on an image and say, “Can we swap this for something more vibrant?” You’ll get all the feedback in one organized spot.

Why it’s awesome:

  • Works for both desktop and mobile views.
  • Saves time by cutting out endless back-and-forth.
  • Makes you look super professional.

Cost: $19/month for freelancers. If you’re managing clients, this is a no-brainer.

Tool #2: Finsweet Chrome Extension - Unlock Hidden Webflow Features

Let’s talk about Finsweet Chrome Extension, aka the toolkit you didn’t know you needed.

This free extension fixes some of the annoying gaps in Webflow. Here are a few highlights:

  • Delete breakpoints: Tired of accidentally adding breakpoints you can’t remove? Now you can delete them with a single click.
  • Reorder color swatches: Drag and drop your colors into a clean, logical order. No more messy palettes.
  • Bulk redirects: Set up multiple 301 redirects at once by uploading a CSV. Perfect for site migrations.

They’re constantly rolling out new features, like unbinding CMS items and more. Honestly, just download it—it’s free and makes life easier.

Tool #3: Flowbase Component Library

Need to save time? Flowbase has you covered with its library of pre-made Webflow components.

How it works:

  1. Browse their library for what you need—headers, forms, signup sections, etc.
  2. Click “Copy.”
  3. Paste it into your Webflow project.

No more building from scratch or being stuck with restrictive templates. You just pick what you need and customize it.

Why it’s worth it:

  • Saves hours of design time.
  • Components are fully customizable.
  • Only $39/month—totally worth it if you build multiple sites.

Tool #4: Wized - Bringing Backend Power to Webflow

Okay, let’s get a bit nerdy with Wized. This tool brings backend functionality to Webflow, which is huge.

Here’s what you can do with Wiz:

  • Add user authentication (logins and signups).
  • Connect to APIs (e.g., a weather app pulling live data).
  • Use Airtable as a database for dynamic filtering.
  • Integrate with Stripe for billing and subscriptions.

It’s a game-changer if you’re building dashboards or apps. While I haven’t personally used it yet, the demos blew me away. If you’ve ever wished Webflow could do more, Wiz is worth checking out.

Tool #5: Jetboost - Advanced Filtering and Sorting for CMS Content

Ever wish you could sort your CMS content by popularity or date? Jetboost can do that.

It’s perfect for:

  • Blogs that need filtering options.
  • Marketplaces where users want to sort by categories.
  • Any project with tons of content.

Jetboost also handles real-time search and favoriting features. Plus, their new sorting feature is launching soon—sign up for early access on their website.

Tool #6: Lottie Files - Enhance Visual Appeal with Animations

Animations make websites more fun, and Lottie Files makes it easy to add them.

Here’s why Lottie Files rocks:

  • Huge library of free and premium animations.
  • Lightweight, so they don’t slow down your site.
  • Step-by-step setup guides (linked to Webflow University).

Use Lottie animations for buttons, loaders, or even full-screen visuals. They’re easy to customize and look amazing.
