Did you know ... CodeGeek builds beautiful Webflow websites? ✨

We absolutely LOVE building websites in Webflow! And our reasons are three-fold:

1. Simplicity – Webflow gives you an intuitive, visual way to manage your website without having to worry about plugins, themes, or complicated updates.

2. Creative freedom – Instead of starting with a pre-built theme and modifying it to fit your business, we can build your website from the ground up.

3. "Corners like it’s on rails” – Webflow combines powerful design and development tools with a streamlined hosting environment, which means your website performs well and looks great doing it.

Webflow is a wonderful option for those who want a lighter website that's still gorgeous and easy to manage.

It's time for a Project Highlight! ✨ This one features Redball Energy, who partnered with us to build a cost-effective, yet fully custom, website for their quickly growing solar financing business.

—
TWO MAIN CHALLENGES:
The two main challenges we needed to address for Redball Energy's new website were:

1. They needed to stand out and project confidence in the high-tech and highly competitive solar energy space.

2. They were also a relatively young startup, so they wanted to be as quick and efficient as possible with the build of their new website.

OUR SOLUTION:
We had a great time finding solutions to these challenges, and we talk about how we did that in our latest portfolio highlight.

(Spoiler alert: We built the site in Webflow)
