With the Lite hosting plan on Webflow, will there be a Webflow logo on my website? Will the Webflow logo appear on my form submissions, and if so, where?
TL;DR
- Webflow’s Lite plan lets you design and export sites to host elsewhere, with no Webflow branding included.
- Since forms only work on Webflow-hosted sites, exported sites on the Lite plan have no form functionality or branding from Webflow.
With the Lite hosting plan on Webflow, you're actually not using Webflow Hosting—this is a Designer-only plan, not a site hosting plan. Here’s how that affects Webflow branding:
1. No Published Site Means No Webflow Logo on Site
- The Lite plan allows you to design and export your website's HTML, CSS, and JS files.
- You must then host the site externally, such as on Netlify, Vercel, or your own server.
- Webflow branding (such as the Webflow badge in the footer or the favicon) is not added automatically to the exported code.
- Therefore, there will be no Webflow logo on your live site—unless you manually include it.
2. Forms Don't Work with Exported Sites
- If you're not hosting on Webflow, Webflow's Form handling won’t work.
- On Lite plan, form submissions don't get processed unless the site is also hosted on Webflow.
- When hosted on Webflow (e.g., via a Site Plan), form submission emails may include “Sent via Webflow” branding at the bottom—this branding appears if you're on the free staging domain or using lower-tier hosting.
- However, since Lite plan users don’t get Webflow-hosted forms, this branding doesn’t apply.
Summary
If you're using the Lite plan, your site is not hosted on Webflow, so there will be no Webflow logo on the published site or on form submissions—because Webflow form functionality is not available for exported code.
