Webflow
Webflow is far from staying on the sidelines as far as improvements are concerned, the tool has developed two great new features this month.
First of all, Webflow has modified its prices by allowing unlimited access to the page for its e-commerce package.
SEO → Semflow
At Webflow, a new extension is available: Semflow. With this plugin, made exclusively for Webflow, you can :
Do a complete audit of your site,
Get your SEO score,
See if you have well arranged your titles (H1, H2, H3...), your images (title, alt tag...), your links..,
Determine your keywords per page,
See which page needs to be reworked,
This novelty is available for the moment at $15 per month, later the price will double to $29 per month (market price).
Figma to Webflow
The plugin Figma to Webflow has been updated. This feature will be a real-time saver for designers. The Figma and Webflow communities are very happy about it. The only drawback is that designers will have to how to structure their design according to the Webflow development codes. But, apart from that, the plugin will give a new rhythm to all your Webflow projects.
The tool has also deployed a whole library of pre-designed layouts in Beta, which is another good way to speed up website design.
Zapier Builder
Automation giant Zapier is still working on the Alpha version of its interface builder.
Indeed, last October, Zapier had announced that it would take a new direction. Zapier wants to become more than an automation tool and also wants to offer: a database like Airtable “Zapier Tables” and a page building place “Zapier Interface”.
You will also be able to transfer data from one app to another with “Zapier Transfer”, while keeping your automation data directly on “Zapier Tables”. For the moment, these two features are in Beta testing.
With its wide range of integrated applications, Zapier is likely to become an indispensable tool.

Discovery of the month: Draftbit
Draftbit is a collaborative and open-source low-code mobile application builder. This tool is already well evolved and complete. You can build anything from already implemented blocks to adding custom code. The code can be directly displayed in the builder and can be downloaded in full.
Draftbit also gives direct access to APIs and integrations, and is linked to Airtable. Its use is very technical and is rather reserved for expert developers.
