Can the template used on a website be checked using a template ID in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Webflow does not display template name or ID after site creation, treating all projects as custom without referencing the original template.
  • To identify a template, check for visual or structural similarities with templates in the Webflow Marketplace, or contact the original developer if available.

Webflow does not provide a direct way to identify or check a website's template using a template ID after publication. Although templates in the Webflow Marketplace have IDs, they're not exposed within a published project or site.

1. No Public Access to Template ID in Webflow Projects

  • Webflow does not include any reference to the template name or ID in the Designer, project settings, or published site.
  • Once a template is used to create a site, Webflow treats the project as custom, and there’s no built-in tracking of which template was originally used.

2. Workarounds to Identify the Template (If Necessary)

  • Template Name on Creation: When first creating a project, Webflow shows the template’s name. You can keep a record of this manually.
  • Designer Clues: You might recognize template features like specific classes, layout styles, or CMS structure that match a known template in the Webflow Template Marketplace.
  • Marketplace Search: If you're trying to reverse-identify a template, compare the site visually to templates in the Webflow Template Marketplace using keywords or categories.
  • Ask the Original Developer: If someone else built the site, they may know (or have an invoice/email) confirming the original template used.

3. Template ID Not Visible in Code or Exports

  • Webflow does not embed the template ID or name in exported code or metadata.
  • Looking at source code or Webflow’s CMS elements won’t reveal template info.

Summary

Webflow does not expose the template ID after site creation or publishing. If you didn't save the name when creating the site, there’s no direct method to recover it. Use visual comparison or reach out to the original site builder to identify the template used.
