Is there a way to use Webflow's CMS to easily integrate page updates on our company's site, without needing to deploy code for each update? We want a method that allows another team to create or update content on Webflow, with those changes automatically reflected on our site. The CMS content should only affect the body of the page, while the header and footer remain the same internally. It should also maintain the responsive design created in the Webflow editor, and include images, text, and links to other pages. We have tried code exporting and using an iframe with a published .webflow.io domain, but encountered issues. Any solutions?

You can integrate Webflow’s CMS into your company's site without needing to redeploy code for each update by using the Webflow CMS API or embedding Webflow-hosted content dynamically. Here’s how:

1. Use Webflow’s CMS API for Content Updates

• Webflow provides an API that allows you to fetch CMS content dynamically.
• Your development team can set up an automated process using Webflow's CMS API to pull content updates from Webflow and display them within your existing site.
• This method ensures that only the body content changes, while the header and footer remain unchanged.
• API documentation: Webflow CMS API

2. Embed Webflow CMS via JavaScript Snippet

• Instead of exporting code, you can embed specific CMS sections into your existing website.
• Webflow content can be published to a separate subdomain (e.g., cms.yourcompany.com).
• Use AJAX or Fetch API to pull and insert CMS content dynamically into your main site.
• Example: A script on your site loads content via fetch() from Webflow’s JSON API or an iFrame.

3. Use Webflow’s Publish-to-Subdomain Approach

• Host editable pages on a Webflow-managed subdomain (e.g., updates.yourcompany.com).
• Use JavaScript to dynamically load updated content into the body of your existing site while keeping the header/footer intact.
• This approach ensures responsive design is preserved, since Webflow handles styling.

4. Prevent Issues with iframes and Styling

• iFrames can work but often cause styling and responsiveness issues.
• Instead of a full-page embed, embed only specific CMS sections using Webflow’s Embed element or JavaScript.
• Ensure styles match by using the same global styles from Webflow on your main site.

Summary

The best approach is to use Webflow’s CMS API to pull and insert content dynamically, ensuring seamless updates while keeping the existing site structure. Alternatively, you can host dynamic pages on a Webflow-managed subdomain and embed content dynamically using JavaScript to load only the CMS-driven sections. This eliminates the need for deploying code for every update.
