How can I create a subdomain with separate pages in Webflow for an existing project?
To create a subdomain with separate pages in Webflow for an existing project, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Add the subdomain to your domain DNS settings: First, you'll need to access the domain's DNS settings. This is usually provided by your domain registrar or hosting provider. Look for the option to manage DNS or DNS settings. Add a new CNAME record with the desired subdomain as the name and set the value to your Webflow site subdomain (e.g., subdomain.webflow.io). Save the DNS changes.
2. Configure the domain in Webflow: Log in to your Webflow account and go to the Project Settings for your existing project. Under the Hosting tab, click on the three dots menu next to your custom domain and select "Add subdomain." Enter the subdomain you created in step 1.
3. Set up the pages for the subdomain: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Pages panel. Click on the plus icon at the bottom to create a new page. Give it a name and choose a template if needed. You can then design and customize the page like any other page in your project.
4. Connect the subdomain to the page: Once you've designed the page for the subdomain, select it in the Pages panel. In the right sidebar, under the Page Settings tab, you'll find the SEO settings. Enter the subdomain in the "Custom subdomain" field. This will associate the page with the subdomain.
5. Publish your changes: After configuring the subdomain and designing the pages, you need to publish your changes. Click on the Publish button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. Webflow will generate the necessary code and provide you with instructions on how to update your DNS settings.
6. Verify and test: It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate. To verify if the subdomain is working correctly, you can use services like DNS Checker or simply try accessing the subdomain in a web browser. You should see your new page within the subdomain.
Remember, creating a subdomain for an existing project in Webflow requires access to your domain's DNS settings, so make sure you have the necessary permissions or consult with your hosting provider if you're unsure about making DNS changes.
