Can I upload individual html, css, and javascript files as separate pages in Webflow Hosting or do I need to switch to a different hosting provider?

TL;DR
  • Webflow does not support direct uploads of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files but allows integration via Embed elements or Custom Code in Project Settings.
  • Custom CSS and JavaScript can be added in the Page or Project Settings, and external resources can be linked through CDNs or external hosting.
  • Standalone HTML/CSS/JS files must be hosted externally and embedded via iFrames if needed.
  • Webflow allows code export, but re-importing is not possible; full control over files requires external hosting providers like Netlify or Vercel.

Webflow does not support uploading individual HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files directly as pages. Instead, Webflow’s hosting system is designed to work within its visual designer and CMS. However, there are a few alternatives depending on your needs.

1. Using Webflow’s Designer to Recreate Pages

  • Webflow allows custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but everything needs to be added within the provided tools.
  • You can use Embed elements (<embed> block) to insert custom HTML.
  • Add custom CSS and JavaScript within Page Settings or the Site Settings > Custom Code section.

2. Using Custom Code in Webflow Pages

  • For small modifications, add JavaScript and CSS within the Custom Code section of the page or project.
  • Place external scripts in the or before sections through Project Settings > Custom Code.
  • If using a third-party CDN or external hosting, create links to your hosted CSS/JS files.

3. Hosting Files Elsewhere & Embedding in Webflow

  • If your project requires standalone HTML/CSS/JS files, you may need to host them externally (e.g., GitHub Pages, AWS S3, or Netlify).
  • Use iFrames (<iframe> inside an Embed element) to embed external pages into Webflow.

4. Exporting Webflow Code & Hosting Elsewhere (If Needed)

  • Webflow allows code export, but you cannot re-import exported code back into Webflow.
  • If you need full file control, you may need a different hosting provider like Vercel, Netlify, or traditional web hosting.

Summary

Webflow does not allow direct uploads of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript files as standalone pages. You can integrate custom code using Embed elements or Custom Code in Project Settings, but for full file control, hosting externally or switching providers may be necessary.
