What the Small Medium Large Webflow component framework update is about:

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I finished the last component for my Small-Medium-Large Webflow framework update. Now all that there is left to do is to update the site record an explainer video and go live with the cloneable.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

The first webflow build with the updated SML component framework went live. A one paged build by ZUID for Aqwire: aquire.nl

This morning I managed to wrap up creating an API connection between Webflow and TeamTailor with Cloudflare worker. Sure I could have spend my weekend on other stuff... but when a developer says that things are not possible and very complex, then I have to proof him wrong.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Anoyment can sometimes be the best motivation. A job a developer did got done badly. So this weekend I am seeing if I can wrap my mind around Cloudflare workers and some API Webflow hoopla. Saturday is done, and the CMS is being populated, multiref fields and all. Tomorrow I’ll handle updates.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

And the native Webflow slider component has also been added. Off course again using the new switch property for toggling autoplay

001

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

‪And of course if autoplay is off the code gets hidden server-side.‬

000

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Next up Slider and Nav... and then I can release it.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Tab section has been added to the SML components build. Optional autoplay function as a simple switch on or off.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Thanks that is nice to hear. Yeah spacer divs are always an item up for discussion. I find them a bit more present in the navigator then paddings or margins. But as things have been going I am sure I switch my mind about it at some point hahaha

010

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

One of those things is that I in the past did not create tabs, sliders or menus in the framework. But now that I go all in on components I will build bare-bones versions of them. The framework will also be more catered to my current job at zuid.com where I will be training junior Webflow devs.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

There are so many ways to go. And in the end I pick a direction because that is how I like to work. It totally makes sense to pick a framework and rip it apart to turn it in your own.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Sml is not yet updated with the new component system. But it will launch in February. I don’t know what you mean with “opinionated”… With SML I try to stay as non-designed as possible, but it is a hard line to follow.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

The code behind the new SML webflow component system.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

I expect to have a bit more free time in the next weeks for the new webflow sml component framework. I was lucky to test it on two projects. The bigger the project, the more powerful it is. Aiming for releasing it in February. To do are tabs, sliders and navigation. The three horrors in my life ,)

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

This past half year being back at work for a dutch agency I have build and put live 6 webflow websites. easyflex.nl euramaxcladding.com brandgang.com zuidagency.group adfiadon.nl nationaleseksenquete.nl This year I will easily go past the one build per month ratio.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Thanks for offering to help. It was for a demo that was held yesterday so I am good for now. I skipped the fancy animation stuff and we seemed to did okay.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I was trying the other day to add a gsap stagger to CMS elements in a Webflow dropdown… this stuff aint half easy.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Mental math on paper, that makes no sense. That is like remembering something by writing it down.

000

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I need to activate this blue sky stuff here. My Webflow framework small-medium-large.com has been updated, all text sizes can now be controlled directly from the variables panel. Additionally, responsive sizing for spacing, gaps, and gutters is now fully adjustable within the same panel.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

Goal for 2025, slow further down and remain calm

010

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

I am going to need to transition a few clients sites back to my own workspace for that reason. Kinda hard to bother the client with this.

010

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

So why do I spend time on Small Medium Large and keeping it up to date? Firstly, because I use it on a daily basis. Secondly to give insight into how I think components can be used. Thirdly to inspire, to push forward. SML is nothing more than sharing the system I use.

021

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I should work on that yes. There are several sites out in the wild that are built with it, but I do not have a gallery. Here is a list of a few that come to mind that withstood the test of time. webnique.de ditis.de brandgang.com zuidagency.group energiebaas.nieuwestroom.nl vp-strategy-advisors.de

The Webflow component blocks inside small-medium-large.com now include tabs, sliders, image lightboxes, and video lightboxes, all of which hold component slots for endless layout options. small-medium-large-s-1440.webflow.io/stylesheet/c...

Sneak peek into the project that I am currently working on. It is not done yet, but I need to share. This one-pager is 100% built in Webflow Build Mode. Some component blocks are used 100+ times. brandbook-zuid.webflow.io

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

More and more Webflow sites that I build revolve around creating components and giving power to Clients working in Build Mode. This update should save me a bundle of time.

000

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

And changing column sizes across all breakpoints can be done with a single dropdown.

100

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Only 8 components are enough to create an endless array of different layouts.

100

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

The small-medium-large.com framework has been updated with Webflow component variants made for Build Mode.

Webflow Component Variants Bonanza

The small-medium-large Webflow component system before and after variants.

020

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Some of the pre-build components inside small-medium-large.com now take advantage of @webflow Component Varients. Fewer components, more options.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

AI Optimize is one of those to, but it is almost to big to explain. And impossible to show.

000

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I showed it during the sales pitch in a website that is almost done. Nothing works better then showing how easy it is.

010

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Pretty sure that Webflow components, build mode, slots and variants convinced a prospect client today to gonna say yes to letting me build their website.

Marcel Deelen @marceldeelen.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Am always in for some shortcuts. Also nice to see the pages dropdown.

I gotta say I am more of a grey sky kinda person, preferably with some snow.
