Question for people working in Webflow with Relume components
Do you find yourself performing "surgery" on the components to structure exactly as you like?
Or have you just <i>gotten to know the Relume structure</i> so you can just deploy components without any surgery and move faster?
Thanks so much for your insights!!! 🙏
Hey Jack, if by perform surgery you mean change the original component in some way then yes almost always. Could be as small as removing a sub heading that's not needed or changing a grid from 3 to 2 columns but it's rare that I would leave it exactly in it's original state. It still removes the need to build the entire thing from the ground up and so saves a ton of time. Hope that helps!
Hi Andy, thanks. Well, by "surgery" I mean changing the structure of the component - adding extra divs and classes, grouping elements differently. I guess I'd like to get to a stage where I know the structure of the components so well that I can just deploy them, add and remove what I need and move on, without getting into the weeds too much. And i guess that comes with time and practice.
So the answer is yes, time and practice.
I’d also take a look at your biz model. If you sell speed. Then avoid surgery and practice doing it with what you want.
If you sell custom unique bespoke designs/sites, then practice the process of the surgery and find the best time to do it in the project. may be its better at a different point in time 🙂
