How do I implement a custom domain in Webflow for a white-label solution to have clients view proposals?
To implement a custom domain in Webflow for a white-label solution to have clients view proposals, you need to follow these steps:
Set up your custom domain: First, you need to have a custom domain for your white-label solution. You can purchase a domain from a domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap. Once you have your domain, you'll need to configure the DNS settings to point to Webflow's servers. Consult your domain registrar's documentation for specific instructions on how to update DNS settings.
Set up hosting in Webflow: Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings for your white-label solution. Under the Hosting tab, click on the "Add domain" button. Enter your custom domain and click "Add domain". Webflow will generate a list of DNS records that you need to add to your domain registrar's DNS settings.
Configure DNS settings: Go back to your domain registrar's website and locate the DNS settings for your custom domain. Add the DNS records provided by Webflow. These records usually include a CNAME record for the www subdomain and an A record for the root domain. Save your changes and wait for the DNS changes to propagate.
Verify domain ownership: After making DNS changes, go back to Webflow and click on the "Verify DNS changes" button. Webflow will check if the DNS records have been successfully propagated. It may take some time for the changes to take effect, so be patient. Once the records are verified, your custom domain is ready to use.
Set up SSL: To secure your white-label solution with HTTPS, you need to set up SSL (Secure Socket Layer) in Webflow. Under the Hosting tab in Project Settings, click on the "SSL/TLS" tab. Toggle the SSL option to "On" and Webflow will automatically provision an SSL certificate for your custom domain. This step may take a few minutes to complete.
Publish your white-label solution: Once you have completed the previous steps, you can publish your white-label solution with the custom domain by clicking on the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. Webflow will update its servers with the new DNS configuration and your white-label solution will be accessible using the custom domain.
By following these steps, you can easily implement a custom domain in Webflow for your white-label solution, allowing your clients to view proposals under your own branded domain.
