To identify the template used in a Webflow site, you’ll need to check both the visual and technical clues, since Webflow doesn't publicly display the template name once a site is published.
- Some Webflow templates include a credit in the footer (e.g., “Built with the [Template Name] template”)—this is the easiest indicator.
- Right-click the site and choose View Page Source, then search (
Cmd+F
or Ctrl+F
) for keywords like “template”, “webflow.io”, or any unique string you notice in the site content or classes.
2. Look for Clues in CSS Classes
- Use your browser’s Developer Tools (Inspect) to examine class names. Some template creators prefix class names (e.g., "folio-hero", "startup-navbar")—these can point to the original template.
- Search Webflow’s Template Marketplace using these class keywords or unique layout features to try and match the design.
3. Compare With Webflow Templates
- Visit Webflow’s official Template Marketplace (webflow.com/templates).
- Use filters like category (e.g., Portfolio, SaaS, Blog) and visually compare the published site with template previews.
- Look for unique layouts, animations, or icon styles that might reveal a match.
4. Check Webflow Subdomains (if not custom domain)
- If the live site uses a subdomain like example.webflow.io, try removing the subdomain and visiting only the base (e.g., go to webflow.io and search for “example” in the Showcase or Templates).
- Visit webflow.com/discover/popular and search for the project name or similar styles.
Summary
To identify a Webflow template, inspect the site content, footer, and CSS class names, then compare with listings in Webflow’s Template Marketplace. Matching visual elements and class prefixes often lead to the original template.
