Can I upload individual html, css, and javascript files as separate pages in Webflow Hosting or do I need to switch to a different hosting provider?

TL;DR
  • Webflow does not support direct uploads of standalone HTML, CSS, or JS files, only embedded custom code within its visual builder.
  • For full control, export your Webflow site and deploy it to an external host like Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages.

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.
