Yes, Webflow supports blogs through its CMS (Content Management System), enabling you to create dynamic blog posts with custom designs. Here’s how to build a blog into your Webflow site.
1. Create a CMS Collection for Blog Posts
- Go to the CMS panel in the Webflow Designer (click the database icon in the left sidebar).
- Click “+ New Collection” and name it something like “Blog Posts.”
- Add relevant fields, such as:
- Name (title of the blog post)
- Slug (will auto-generate from the title)
- Main Image
- Rich Text (for the blog content)
- Author (optional — can be a Reference field)
- Publish Date
- Category or tags (optional, for filtering)
2. Design the Blog Post Template Page
- Once the CMS Collection is created, Webflow automatically generates a template page (found under Pages > CMS Collection Pages).
- On this template page, drag CMS elements onto the canvas and connect them to their corresponding fields:
- Use a Heading element for the title.
- Use a Rich Text element for post content.
- Add an Image element for the featured image.
- Style these elements just like any static page.
3. Add a Blog Index or Listing Page
- Choose or create a static page (like
/blog
) to act as your blog homepage. - Drag a Collection List onto the page and bind it to the “Blog Posts” Collection.
- Add child elements inside the list (image, title link, summary, etc.).
- Link titles or Read More buttons to the Current Blog Post.
- To display a limited number of posts per page, enable pagination in the Collection List settings.
- Use filters to show only posts from a certain category or author, if using those fields.
5. Publish and Manage Content
- In the Editor or Designer, click on the CMS panel and add blog entries manually.
- Or invite content editors through your Webflow Editor access.
- Content updates don't require Designer access or breaking the site design.
Summary
Webflow allows you to build fully functional blogs using its CMS Collections, Template Pages, and Editor. Set up a blog posts collection, design the template, and list posts dynamically—you can then manage blog content easily without needing external tools.
