About

Michal Simkovic, also known as musho, is a design leader and advisor based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has led design at Copy.ai and at Around, the video collaboration product that Miro acquired in 2022. Earlier he was Director of Design at HackerRank and a Design Lead at Amazon Web Services, where his public portfolio credits him with founding work on the AWS Design System. His personal site lists his current role at Mercor.

His background is in product, brand and design systems rather than agency work, which is the angle he brings to these rankings. When he reviews a Webflow agency, he looks at the quality of the live sites it has shipped, how consistent and reusable the design system behind them is, and whether the result is something a marketing team can keep running after launch.

How this reviewer evaluates agencies

Every agency on this list is checked against six buyer-focused criteria: expertise, experience, reputation, capabilities, communication and value. For a Webflow buyer that means looking for public evidence of Webflow builds, Webflow partner listings, how the agency approaches CMS structure and post-launch handover, and what support is offered after launch.

Facts come from the agency's own site, Webflow's public pages and existing directory data. Anything that cannot be sourced is left blank rather than estimated. No agency paid to be listed.
