Webflow University is an online learning platform for web design. It applies the coherence principle by removing unnecessary visuals, sounds, and text in tutorials. For example, lessons only provide keywords on essential feature and steps, avoiding distracting animations or extra content. This streamlined approach helps learners concentrate on core concepts, making it easier to organize information and apply new skills effectively.
