Is it possible to host a Webflow project in an external domain, specifically under a specific path on a Saas platform such as "example.com/splash"?
Yes, it is possible to host a Webflow project in an external domain, under a specific path on a SaaS platform like "example.com/splash". Here's how you can achieve this:
Export the Webflow project: First, you'll need to export your Webflow project. In Webflow, navigate to the project you want to host externally. Go to the Project Settings and click on the Export tab. Click the "Export" button to generate a ZIP file containing your project's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
Set up the external domain: Next, you'll need to set up the external domain where you want to host your Webflow project. If you already own the domain, you can skip this step. Otherwise, you'll need to purchase a domain from a domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and configure its DNS settings to point to your hosting provider.
Choose a hosting provider: You'll need a hosting provider that supports static websites. There are several hosting options to consider, such as Netlify, Firebase, GitHub Pages, or AWS S3. Each provider has its own setup process, but the general steps are similar.
Deploy your Webflow project: Once you've chosen a hosting provider, follow their instructions to deploy your Webflow project. This usually involves creating an account, creating a new project, and selecting the deployment method as uploading the ZIP file exported from Webflow.
Configure the path: After deploying the project, you need to configure the specific path on your SaaS platform where you want to host your Webflow project. This step will vary depending on the platform you're using. Usually, you can set this up in the platform's settings or routing rules.
Test and publish: Finally, test your setup by accessing the external domain and the specific path you configured. Make sure everything is working as expected, including links, images, and any dynamic functionality. Once you're satisfied, you can publish your Webflow project under the desired path on your SaaS platform.
Remember to consider SEO best practices when hosting your Webflow project on an external domain. Ensure that the domain and path are descriptive, include relevant keywords, and follow proper URL structure guidelines.
