Custom code at Candid Leap

Enterprise Webflow engineering — the custom code, integrations and migrations behind sites Webflow can't do alone.

  • TypeScript
  • Cloudflare Workers
  • Terraform
  • Webflow
  • Algolia

"Webflow custom code expert" sounds like someone who pastes snippets into an embed block. At Candid Leap, where I work on enterprise Webflow projects, it means something closer to platform engineering — the layer of real software that sits around a Webflow site and makes it do things the visual builder can't.

Third-party integrations

Enterprise marketing sites don't live alone. They talk to CRMs, analytics stacks, scheduling tools and internal APIs. A lot of my work is building those bridges in TypeScript: clean integration code that survives redesigns, instead of fragile one-off scripts taped to individual pages.

Search that actually searches

Native Webflow search hits a ceiling quickly on large content sites. I build Algolia-powered search experiences on top of Webflow content — indexing pipelines that keep the search index in sync with the CMS, and front-end search UIs with instant results, filtering and typo tolerance.

Migrations behind a reverse proxy

The most interesting work is platform migrations. Enterprises rarely move to Webflow in one big bang, so we run reverse proxies on Cloudflare Workers that route the old stack and the new Webflow stack under one domain. The proxy layer handles:

  • path-by-path routing between legacy and Webflow origins
  • redirect management so years of SEO equity survive the move
  • stitched sitemaps across both stacks
  • maintenance modes for cutover windows

All of it is Terraform-managed, so routing changes are reviewed infrastructure changes — not someone editing a dashboard at midnight.

App engineering

The practice also ships product: FormConnector, our Webflow Marketplace app, grew out of the same toolbox — Workers, OAuth, webhooks — pointed at a problem every Webflow team has.

That's what "custom code expert" actually means at enterprise scale: less snippet-pasting, more building the machinery that lets a marketing team move fast without breaking the internet underneath them.
