Yes, Webflow supports the creation of a loading page that allows all assets to load before showing the website. This loading page can be designed and customized in Webflow's Designer tool.

To create a loading page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Design the loading page: In the Designer tool, create a new page and design it as you desire. This page will be displayed while the assets of your main website are being loaded.

  2. Set up the interactions: Add interactions to the loading page elements to create desired loading animations or effects. You can use Webflow's built-in interactions or create custom interactions using the interactions panel.

  3. Configure the loading behavior: To delay the transition from the loading page to your actual website until all assets are loaded, you can use Webflow's page load trigger feature. Select the loading page, go to the interactions panel, and add a page load trigger to initiate the transition when the page finishes loading.

  4. Design the main website: Once you have created the loading page, you can proceed to design the main website. This is where the user will be directed after the assets have finished loading.

  5. Configure interactions for the main website: To trigger interactions after navigating from the loading page to the actual website, you can use Webflow's scroll trigger feature. Select the elements you want to animate on the main website, go to the interactions panel, and add scroll triggers to specify when and how the animations should be triggered.

By following these steps, you can create a loading page in Webflow that ensures all assets are loaded before displaying the website, and you can also set up interactions to trigger after navigating from the loading page to the actual website.
