What are the benefits of using Stacket with Webflow for automatic site deployment to Github and taking advantage of free static site hosting services like Netlify?

TL;DR
  • Automatically sync exported Webflow sites to GitHub with Stacket, triggering seamless deployments to services like Netlify.
  • Gain free global CDN, version control, and extensibility while removing reliance on Webflow hosting.

Using Stacket with Webflow streamlines deployment by syncing exported Webflow sites to GitHub and automating deployment to services like Netlify. This setup has several strategic benefits for performance, hosting, and workflow automation.

1. Automated Deployment Workflow

  • Stacket connects your Webflow project to a GitHub repo using an export API, automatically updating the repo whenever you export changes.
  • Free hosting via Netlify is triggered automatically from GitHub commits, removing the need for manual file uploads.

2. Zero Vendor Lock-In

  • Hosting via Netlify (or Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, etc.) removes reliance on Webflow's built-in hosting.
  • Your exported site lives in a GitHub repo you control, providing full ownership of your code and deployment environment.

3. Free Global CDN & Performance Benefits

  • Services like Netlify offer free global CDN distribution, HTTPS, and caching, improving site speed and security.
  • These benefits are available at no cost for most personal/small projects.

4. Version Control & Collaboration

  • Exported Webflow sites become part of a version-controlled GitHub project, allowing:
  • Easy reverts to previous versions
  • Branching and team collaboration
  • Integration with pull request workflows and CI/CD tools

5. Extensibility Beyond Webflow

  • You can add custom scripts, frameworks, or assets after export, enabling advanced dev functions not supported by Webflow’s Designer or CMS.
  • GitHub becomes a source of truth for extended functionality unavailable in Webflow alone.

6. Optimized Static Hosting for Portfolios/Landing Pages

  • Since exported Webflow projects are static HTML/CSS/JS, they're ideal for jamstack deployment on Netlify, which favors static assets for speed and simplicity.
  • Enables SEO, fast load times, and minimal backend infrastructure.

Summary

Stacket enables continuous deployment from Webflow to GitHub and services like Netlify, unlocking free hosting, performance gains, and dev flexibility. It’s ideal for users who want Webflow design power without reliance on Webflow’s hosting platform.
