Using Stacket with Webflow enhances your site publishing workflow by automating deployment to GitHub and leveraging platforms like Netlify for free static site hosting.
1. Automated GitHub Integration from Webflow
- Stacket connects directly to Webflow to automatically pull exported site code (HTML, CSS, JS).
- It then commits this code to a linked GitHub repository, enabling version control and historical tracking.
- This removes the need for manual Webflow exports and GitHub uploads.
2. Seamless Static Site Hosting via Netlify
- Once code is pushed to GitHub, Stacket can trigger Netlify deployments automatically via GitHub webhooks.
- Netlify then builds and hosts the static site using its global CDN, improving speed and uptime.
- This setup combines Webflow’s design power with Netlify’s performance and developer tooling.
3. Use of CI/CD Best Practices
- Changes made in Webflow can follow a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pattern, reducing manual deployment errors.
- You can preview staging branches, enforce approval workflows, and roll back to previous versions via Git commits.
4. Cost Savings and Flexibility
- Netlify offers free static site hosting with SSL, forms, redirects, and global CDN — often better performing than Webflow's native hosting.
- No vendor lock-in: You own your source code and can move to different platforms (e.g., Vercel, Cloudflare Pages) if needed.
5. Developer Collaboration
- Teams can work in Webflow visually, while developers enhance exported code in GitHub (e.g., add functionality, tweak SEO settings).
- This creates an efficient designer-developer collaboration pipeline without overriding each other’s work.
6. Backups and Code Ownership
- Every deployment is stored in GitHub, providing a full backup of your site’s code.
- Unlike Webflow’s limited code access, GitHub + Netlify ensures 100% ownership and transparency.
Summary
Using Stacket with Webflow automates deployment to GitHub and enables free high-performance static hosting via Netlify. This setup merges Webflow's visual design power with modern dev workflows, giving you better control, scalability, and cost savings.
