Paddle Creative builds with a native-first approach. This means we will first attempt to satisfy all requirements using Webflow's native Designer. We follow this approach in order to ensure superhigh speeds for the websites that we build. If it cannot be done or the native method is inefficient, we will use custom CSS, HTML, and JS.

Our team is committed to excellence, adhering to the highest professional standards in every project we undertake. We ensure our development practices easily accessible and editable by anyone. Here's a brief overview of our approach:

• Standardised Naming Conventions: We use Client-First V2 as standard to keep the websites orgainsed and easy to maintain and edit. This is helpful for all stakeholders.‍
