As Webflow continues to grow in popularity as a no-code web design platform, we are always looking for tools to help further streamline our workflow. After all, it's best for us (and our clients) to spend the least time possible on repetitive tasks.
One such tool is the fabled Relume library. Relume provides a collection of pre-built Webflow components that can be easily added to any Webflow project, helping users build websites faster without sacrificing design quality.
Whether you're a solo freelancer, part of a digital agency, or new to Webflow, Relume offers a library of over 850 customizable components that cover everything from headers and footers to complete landing page layouts.
But is it really worth it for you? And who might benefit the most from this library?
What is Relume Webflow?
At its core, Relume is a library of pre-built Webflow components—from headers and footers to complex sections like pricing tables and testimonial blocks.
Relume subscribers can easily copy and paste these components into their Webflow projects. The main purpose is to simplify the web-building process.
Instead of starting from scratch, you can easily leverage these professionally designed components to build fully responsive and visually appealing websites.
Key Features of Relume Webflow:
- Wide Range of Components: As mentioned earlier, Relume provides everything from basic to more advanced sections like pricing tables, FAQs, and call-to-action areas.
- Customization: All components allow you to adjust them to fit their unique branding or project requirements.
- Responsive Design: Components are optimized for all devices, ensuring they look great on desktops, tablets, and mobile screens.
- Seamless Integration with Webflow: Since Relume components are specifically built for Webflow, they integrate smoothly into any Webflow project without compatibility issues.
How Does Relume Webflow Work?
Step 1: Browse the Relume Library
You can browse the library for the specific elements you need, whether it’s a hero section, testimonial block, or pricing table.
Each component is pre-designed with best practices in mind and optimized for responsiveness.
Step 2: Copy and Paste into Webflow
Once you find the right component, it’s as easy as clicking Copy to grab the code for that component.
The copied component can then be directly pasted into the Webflow Designer. There’s no need for external code or complex integrations—everything works within the Webflow ecosystem.
Step 3: Customize the Component
The real customization begins now. Every element in the component can be easily adjusted within the Webflow Designer.
You can change the fonts, colors, margins, and padding to match your brand’s style without requiring external coding knowledge.
Step 4: Test for Responsiveness
All Relume components are pre-built to be responsive across different devices, but it’s always good practice to test them within Webflow’s Preview Mode.
You can ensure the design looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile views and make necessary adjustments.
Relume Figma Integration
Relume also offers seamless integration with Figma. Designers can create wireframes and layouts in Figma and then use Relume’s Webflow components to build the design in Webflow.
However, Webflow’s new Figma to Webflow plugin might be a far better solution for this. I actually have a detailed guide on moving designs from Figma to Webflow either manually or using their plugin depending on your needs.
Is Relume Library Worth It?
Whether or not Relume Library is worth the time and investment largely depends on the type of projects you work on and your workflow preferences.
Let’s break it down.
1. Time-Saving Efficiency
Instead of building each component from scratch, you can select from hundreds of pre-built components already optimized for responsiveness and performance.
The time savings can be immense for those working on tight deadlines or managing multiple client projects.
2. Customization Without Compromise
One common concern with pre-built components is that they may limit your ability to customize or impose a specific design style.
With Relume, however, all components are fully customizable within Webflow. This means you can adjust anything from layout and colors to typography and spacing.
Relume components are built to be flexible, so the platform allows for full creative control, whether you need to make small tweaks or significant changes.
3. Consistency in Design
Each component is crafted with best practices in mind, so you don't have to worry about mismatched margins or inconsistent spacing. This makes it easier to ensure a cohesive look across different sections of your site.
4. Price Considerations
Relume Library is a paid service, and whether it's worth the price depends on the scale and nature of your work. For agencies or developers handling frequent projects, the subscription cost can easily be justified by the time saved.
However, for smaller, one-off projects or personal websites, the investment might not be necessary if you're not looking for speed or large-scale reuse of components.
Who Is Relume For Exactly?
Relume Library is versatile, but it's not for everyone.
For Webflow Designers
Relume is ideal for designers who use Webflow regularly to build websites. It's perfect for designers who want to focus more on creativity and client-specific details rather than spending time on repetitive tasks.
For Webflow Developers
Developers responsible for translating Figma designs or wireframes into fully responsive Webflow sites will find Relume particularly helpful.
Instead of coding every section from the ground up, you can quickly grab pre-designed sections and focus on adding more advanced features or interactions.
For Agencies
Agencies, especially those managing multiple clients, are a perfect match for Relume. With a large library of components, you can scale their Webflow production, maintain consistency across projects, and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
For Beginners
Beginners who are just starting with Webflow can also benefit from Relume. It provides a library of high-quality components that they can use as a foundation to learn the platform.
By using pre-designed sections, you can understand how layouts, spacing, and interactions work without being overwhelmed by building everything from scratch.
Who It May Not Be Ideal For
Relume is not the best option for projects that require highly custom-built designs or layouts that deviate significantly from standard templates.
Starting from scratch may offer more flexibility and control over the final product. Additionally, if you're working on a one-off personal project, you may not need the extensive library that Relume offers.
