To link different static pages to your projects on the home page of your Webflow website and disconnect from CMS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create the static pages:
  • In your Webflow dashboard, go to the Pages tab.
  • Click on the "Create new blank page" button.
  • Give your page a name and set its URL slug.
  • Design and build the layout and content of your page using Webflow's visual editor.
  1. Build the home page:
  • In the Pages tab, click on the Home page to open it in the designer.
  • Design and layout your homepage as desired.
  • Add a link block or a button to the section where you want to link to your static pages.
  • With the link block or button selected, you can add a link to a specific static page by clicking on the plus (+) symbol in the link settings panel on the right sidebar.
  • A modal will appear, allowing you to choose the page you want to link to.
  • Select the static page you want to link and click "Done."
  1. Disconnect from CMS:
  • By default, Webflow links created within the designer are dynamic and connected to the CMS.
  • To disconnect the link from the CMS and make it static, go to the link settings panel on the right sidebar.
  • Under the "CMS" section, click on the "Unlink" button to break the connection.
  • This will disconnect the link from the CMS and make it a static link to the designated page.
  1. Repeat for other links:
  • Repeat the process for any additional static pages you want to link to from your home page.
  • Design and layout your home page accordingly, adding link blocks or buttons that point to the desired static pages.
  • Remember to disconnect the links from the CMS by unlinking them.

By following these steps, you can easily link different static pages to your projects on the home page of your Webflow website and disconnect from the CMS. This can help you create a seamless user experience and navigate visitors to different sections of your website.
