You cannot upload individual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly to Webflow Hosting as custom pages. Webflow is a visual website builder with a proprietary CMS and hosting solution that does not support direct file uploads for standalone custom code files.
1. Webflow Hosting Limitations
- No direct file uploads: Webflow does not allow you to upload and host standalone
.html
, .css
, or .js
files as separate pages. - Custom code is limited: You can add custom JavaScript and CSS using the Page Settings > Custom Code sections or Site Settings > Custom Code, but these must be embedded within Webflow pages.
- Exports are read-only: Exported Webflow projects can be modified, but you cannot re-upload them into Webflow hosting.
2. Alternatives Within Webflow
If you want to include custom code on Webflow:
- Embed code using the Embed element to add HTML/JavaScript within a Webflow page.
- Use
<style>
or <script>
tags in the page or site-level Custom Code areas. - Host static assets elsewhere (like JS or CSS files on GitHub Pages or an AWS S3 bucket) and link them into Webflow using standard
<link>
or <script>
tags.
3. If You Need Full File Control
If your project requires uploading or managing custom .html
, .css
, or .js
files directly:
- Switch to an external hosting provider such as Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages.
- Export your Webflow site using the Export Code option, then deploy manually to a custom host.
- Use Webflow for design only, and maintain full dev control on your hosting environment.
Summary
Webflow Hosting does not support direct uploads of individual HTML/CSS/JS files as standalone pages. If you need that level of control, you’ll need to export your Webflow site and switch to an external hosting service.
