Does Webflow have a code editor for editing pages with HTML, CSS, and JS?

TL;DR
  • Use the Embed element to insert custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript in specific sections.
  • Add global code in Project Settings > Custom Code for site-wide styles, scripts, or tracking codes.
  • Set custom attributes on elements for JavaScript interactions.
  • Export code for external editing, but note it cannot be reimported into Webflow.
  • Use Webflow Interactions for animations, or include JavaScript when advanced functionality is needed.

Webflow does not provide a full code editor for directly editing HTML, CSS, or JavaScript within its design interface. However, you can still add custom code through specific methods.

1. Embed Custom Code in the Page

  • Use the Embed element to insert HTML, CSS, or JavaScript within a specific section of a page.
  • Go to Add Elements > Embed and paste your code inside the Custom Code Editor.

2. Add Code in Project Settings

  • Navigate to Project Settings > Custom Code.
  • Paste custom <style> and <script> tags inside the Head or Body sections.
  • This method is ideal for including global styles, third-party scripts, or tracking codes (e.g., Google Analytics).

3. Use Custom Attributes

  • Webflow allows setting custom attributes on elements.
  • Go to Element Settings > Custom Attributes, then add custom data attributes that JavaScript can reference.

4. Export Code for External Editing

  • If you need full control over HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can export Webflow’s clean code.
  • In Project Settings > Export Code, download your site’s files and edit them externally.
  • Note: You cannot reimport modified code back into Webflow.

5. Webflow Interactions vs. Custom JS

  • Webflow’s Interactions & Animations allow you to create complex effects without writing JavaScript.
  • But if you need advanced functionality, you can still include custom JavaScript via the Embed element or Project Settings.

Summary

Webflow does not have a built-in code editor for direct HTML/CSS/JS editing, but you can inject custom code using the Embed element, Project Settings, or by exporting your site’s code. If you need advanced customizations, JavaScript and CSS can be added strategically within Webflow’s design tools.
