How It Works - wCopilot

Frequently Asked Questions

What is our approach to collaborating on projects within Webflow?

Here are four methods for wCopilot to collaborate on your projects, ensuring that you retain ownership throughout:

Invite wCopilot to Your Workspace: Simply send an email invitation to our team, granting access to your projects within the Team/Workspace. Your project manager will provide you with the necessary email address for the invitation.
Duplicate and Transfer: Create a duplicate (to preserve the original) of your project and transfer ownership to wCopilot. We'll make the necessary edits and transfer the project back to you. Your project manager will guide you on initiating this process. Please note that this method may alter the site ID and all CMS unique IDs, potentially impacting dependencies.
On wCopilot's Account: If you're starting a new site, you can initiate a project on our account and proceed with any of the aforementioned options. Alternatively, we can start the project on our account and transfer ownership to you once you're ready. If you maintain an active subscription with us, we can manage the Webflow project on our account until you're prepared for the transfer. Upon transfer, you can reconnect with WCopilot through options 1 or 2.
Share Login Credentials: Provide us with your Webflow account login details. However, please be aware that this method may result in longer turnaround times if multiple users are logged into the account simultaneously, as Webflow restricts access to one user at a time.

How is the turnaround time managed?

See detailed turnaround information here. We work on your projects every business day (Monday to Friday). Instead of counting hours, we prioritize delivering excellent work on time. wCopilot employs a fixed estimated delivery system that is both fast and reliable for all team objectives. Upon receiving your request, we immediately begin processing it. If everything is clear, we proceed with the build. Any points needing clarification will be communicated to you promptly.

How to Start?

1. Tell us what you need:
One way to begin is by crafting a straightforward project summary, or alternatively, gaining inspiration by perusing our project ideas.

2. We assign you to a project manager on our team:
Once your project is underway, our team begins work on it and maintains communication with you through the designated workroom, providing regular updates on the project's status.

3. Finalize your project and continue working together:
After you are satisfied with your project, you can commence discussions with us regarding your next project.

4. Keep Going:
You can either publish your site, create additional content, or begin your next project!

5. Repeat:
You can opt to either continue with the recurring service or terminate it at any time.

What is the time required to begin?

No lead time! If you have your designs and requirements ready, you can start website building on the same day you sign up and are verified. If you are an active customer, we process new website building tasks and projects the same day.

What is the timeframe for initiating the project?

There's no waiting period! Once you sign up and get verified, you can begin building immediately if you have your designs and requirements prepared. For existing customers, we handle new tasks and projects on the same day they're submitted.

Is it possible to receive an estimated turnaround time for my project before I proceed with signing up?

After analyzing over 1000 projects completed on wCopilot, we have compiled average turnaround times for different types of tasks. You can view our average delivery times here.
‍
Self-assessment:
Please review your website/technical designs, wireframes, and/or requirements. Ensure you have an understanding of factors such as page count, page length (number of sections), features, and overall complexity.
‍
Firstly, determine the number of pages (unique designs) in your project.
Secondly, assess the complexity of your features. While most features are standard, if your website requires JavaScript, you can verify here. If one or more features necessitate JS, consider selecting the "Standard JS" or "Premium JS" services when choosing a plan.
Thirdly, compare your pages and features against our average turnaround times here.This process should provide insight into reasonable service requirements and turnaround times within a month.
‍
Assistance from Sales:If you still require clarification or would like personalized assistance based on your project requirements or objectives, please schedule a demo to speak with our sales team.

How does the risk-free start work?

Upon signing up and verification, your first month's subscription begins immediately, without requiring a credit card or payment. You can proceed with your work and review it upon delivery.
You have a 15-day period from verification to conduct your audit of the platform and assess product quality.Your billing date aligns with the day you signed up and were verified, and our system automatically adjusts accordingly. If you choose to upgrade after the trial period expires, our system will adjust by 15 days.

What is wCopilot's development approach on Webflow?

wCopilot adopts a native-first approach to development on Webflow. This means that our primary objective is to fulfill all requirements using Webflow's native Designer tools. If these tools prove inadequate or inefficient, we will resort to utilizing custom CSS, HTML, and JS.Our development team operates in-house and adheres to our own set of standards and practices. We prioritize creating websites that are both performant and easily editable by anyone. All new projects begin with our standard development framework.
‍
Here are some key aspects of our development standard: We employ naming conventions for classes that combine layman and technical terminology to ensure clear communication among team members.Our DOM structures are kept minimal and lightweight to enhance speed and maintain development organization.

We prioritize simplicity in our logic.Responsiveness is achieved through unit measurements that dynamically adjust to different screen sizes and content types, ensuring a seamless experience across devices.

If you have an existing Webflow site and wish for wCopilot to build upon it, here's how it works:If you're satisfied with your current codebase, we'll ensure our work aligns with it. Initially, there might be a slower turnaround time as we adjust to your existing setup.If you're not satisfied with your codebase, you have the option for us to refactor it or start anew, based on your preference.What if your existing Webflow site already utilizes frameworks like "Wizardry" or "Client-First"?No worries! We'll assess the build and extend it by incorporating new pages, features, or functions. However, if your projects employ specific development standards or frameworks such as Client-First or Wizardry, the turnaround time may be slower as we accommodate these requirements.

What is the process for monthly maintenance?

As long as you maintain an active subscription with Wcopilot, we'll handle your projects regardless of their size or request. You can view some examples here. Your new page output will depend on your plan, but you'll enjoy unlimited global edits across all your projects.For customers who have purchased a standard plan, we offer a reduced-scope Maintenance Plan for $690 per month.

What about backend or content management system (CMS)?

Certainly! We manage the setup and architecture of your CMS (content management system). Share your CMS requirements with us, and we'll implement them in the most straightforward and scalable manner possible.

Are Webflow e-commerce services included in your offerings?

Wcopilot does not engage in setting up e-commerce features on Webflow, such as adding products, variants, SKUs, etc. Our involvement in e-commerce development begins after the setup phase. We specialize in developing and integrating the e-commerce backend with the frontend designs and user experience provided by your team.

What animations or interactions does wCopilot provide?

wCopilot specializes in building UI/UX or layout-related movements, triggers, and animations. We primarily utilize native components on Webflow or Webflow's native IX2 engine for animations.
In cases where interaction requirements cannot be met using Webflow natively or are inefficient, we leverage JavaScript to overcome limitations and enhance capabilities.
You can delegate requirements for animations and interactions in three main ways:
Prototype: Showcase your interactions and animations using tools like Figma, XD, or any other prototype tool.
Emulation: Provide visual references from other websites or motion graphics.
Description: Explain your requirements in written form if they are basic.If you have animated creative assets like icons or illustrations, you'll need to provide working Lottie files.

Who are wCopilot developers?

wCopilot recruits and trains Webflow developers worldwide. With a distributed team spanning multiple time zones, wCopilot can deliver projects efficiently with shorter turnaround times.

Our developers undergo thorough vetting and are hired internally. They consist of both part-time and full-time professionals, including individuals with diverse skill levels and certifications, ranging from proficient developers to Webflow certified Experts and Partners.
