Yes, you can definitely design a website on Webflow, export it, and deploy it on a "deployable" environment through Vercel. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:
1. Design your website on Webflow: Use Webflow's intuitive visual editor to design your website. You can customize every aspect of your site, including layout, typography, colors, animations, and interactions.
2. Prepare your website for export: Before exporting your site, make sure to set up your custom domain in Webflow. This involves adding your domain to Webflow and configuring the DNS settings. Webflow provides detailed instructions on how to do this in their documentation.
3. Export your website: Once your website is ready, you can export it from Webflow. Go to the "Publish" section in Webflow and click on "Export Code." Webflow will generate a ZIP file containing all the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
4. Set up a "deployable" environment on Vercel: Sign up for an account on Vercel (if you don't have one already) and create a new project. Vercel supports multiple deployment methods, including drag and drop, Git integration, and CLI. Choose the method that suits your workflow.
5. Deploy your exported website on Vercel: Once you have set up your project on Vercel, you can deploy your exported website. Upload the exported ZIP file from Webflow to Vercel (or connect Vercel with your GitHub/GitLab repository, if using Git integration). Vercel will automatically build and deploy your site.
6. Configure your domain on Vercel: After your website is deployed on Vercel, you can configure your custom domain. In the project settings, go to the "Domains" section and add your domain. Follow Vercel's instructions to verify ownership and set up DNS records.
7. Enable SSL verification: Vercel provides SSL certificates for all projects by default. Once your domain is set up, Vercel will automatically provision an SSL certificate for it, ensuring that your website is accessed over HTTPS.
By following these steps, you can design your website on Webflow, export it, deploy it on Vercel, and have an SSL verified domain specific to your page. This allows you to take advantage of Webflow's design capabilities while utilizing Vercel's powerful deployment infrastructure and SSL certificate provisioning.
