The purpose of the provided Webflow Read-Only link is to share your Webflow project with others for viewing and feedback.

When you create a website on Webflow, you have the option to share a Read-Only link with clients, stakeholders, or team members who need to review the design and functionality of the site. This link allows them to access your project in read-only mode, meaning they can explore and interact with the site without being able to make any changes.

Here are some key points about the purpose of the Webflow Read-Only link:

  1. View-only access: The Read-Only link grants users access to your Webflow project in a view-only mode, ensuring that they can't accidentally make any changes to the design or content. This is particularly useful when you want to share your work with clients or colleagues for review or approval.

  2. Design feedback and collaboration: By sharing the Read-Only link, you enable others to view and interact with your design. They can explore different pages, click on buttons and links, and experience the overall user interface and user experience of the website. This allows them to provide feedback and collaborate with you by pointing out any issues or suggesting improvements.

  3. Smoother client collaboration: The Read-Only link simplifies the client collaboration process, as it eliminates the need for clients to have a Webflow account or understand the intricacies of web design. They can easily access and review the project, ensuring that everyone is on the same page before proceeding with further development.

  4. Efficient project handoff: When your web design project is completed or ready to be handed off to another team member, you can use the Read-Only link to provide them with a comprehensive overview of the website. This makes it easier for them to take over the project and continue with any necessary updates or maintenance.

In summary, the purpose of the Webflow Read-Only link is to facilitate collaboration, feedback, and the review process by providing a secure and interactive way for clients and team members to explore your Webflow project without the ability to make any changes.
