FAQ
What if something breaks?
That’s the beauty of the system. When something isn’t working:
- Your staging site tells Claude what went wrong
- Claude reads the error and understands the issue
- Claude fixes the code and pushes a new version
- Your staging site reloads with the fix
This usually happens in one round, automatically. Most of the time you won’t even notice an error occurred.
Does this affect my live/production site?
No. The Loops helper snippet only works on your .webflow.io staging domain. On your live site with a custom domain, it does absolutely nothing — no extra loading, no performance impact.
Your custom code (animations, data fetching, DOM manipulation, all of it) will work on production too — it’s just regular script embeds. But the development features are staging-only.
Does this work alongside Webflow’s Interactions?
Yes! Webflow’s built-in Interactions and Loops work independently. Your Interactions continue to work exactly as you set them up. Loops adds additional behavior on top.
The only thing to watch out for: if you’re using Loops to animate an element, don’t also animate it with Webflow Interactions. If you’re unsure, just tell Claude: “Don’t touch elements that already have Webflow interactions.”
Do I need to know how to code?
Not at all. That’s the entire point. You describe what you want in plain English, and Claude writes all the code. You never need to open a code editor or learn JavaScript.
That said, knowing your Webflow class names (which you can find in the Selector panel) helps Claude work more accurately.
What can Loops actually do?
Anything JavaScript can do on a webpage. Animations and scroll effects are the most common use case, but Claude can also build dynamic filtering, data fetching from external APIs, custom form logic, DOM manipulation, conditional content, dynamic configuration — if it’s possible with JS on a site, you can ask for it.
What’s GSAP? Do I need to worry about it?
GSAP is a popular animation library that Claude sometimes uses for smooth animations. You don’t need to know anything about it — Claude picks the right tools for the job and handles it all.
Can I work on multiple sites?
Yes. You can have separate Loops projects for different Webflow sites. Just tell Claude which site you’re working on.
Can a developer take over my code later?
Absolutely. You can ask Claude to export all your scripts as standalone files at any time. A developer can pick them up and work with them directly — there’s no lock-in.
Can multiple people work on the same project?
Currently Loops works best as a one-person workflow. If you need to hand off a project to someone else, export the scripts and share them.
What if Loops stops working someday?
Your code is never locked in. You can always export your scripts and paste them directly into Webflow’s custom code fields. They’ll work exactly the same without Loops.
I need help
If something isn’t working as expected, the best thing to do is tell Claude what’s happening. It can usually diagnose and fix the issue.
