Can You Host Only Some Pages on Webflow? Yes—Here’s How (and Why You Might Want To)

One common question designers and developers ask is:
“Can I host only a few pages of my site on Webflow and keep the rest elsewhere?”
The answer is yes—and in many cases, that’s the smart move.

In this article, we’ll break down:

• How to host only some pages on Webflow
• Use cases where partial hosting makes sense
• How to manage domain routing
• How Gapflow helps unify behavior across platforms

🧭 When Would You Host Only Some Pages on Webflow?

Partial Webflow hosting makes sense in many real-world scenarios:

Use CaseWhy Webflow?Landing pages for marketing campaignsFast, no-code, SEO-friendlyBlog hosted on WordPress or GhostCMS power + editorial toolsWeb app frontend built in React/Next.jsFull-stack dev neededSpecific product pages on WebflowRich visuals and interactions

Instead of rebuilding everything in Webflow, you can offload only key pages—like a homepage, pricing page, or lead-gen funnel—onto Webflow and keep the rest on your current stack.

🔌 How It Works: Splitting Hosting Between Webflow and Another Platform

✅ Option 1: Use Subdomains

You can host your Webflow site on a subdomain (e.g., promo.yoursite.com) and keep the main site (www.yoursite.com) on another platform.

Example Setup:

• www.yoursite.com → hosted on WordPress or custom backend
• launch.yoursite.com → hosted on Webflow (landing page)

How to Do It:

1. Set up your domain in Webflow’s Hosting tab
2. Point DNS records for the subdomain to Webflow
3. Keep your root domain hosted wherever you like

✅ Pros:

• No interference with your main site
• Easy to launch and test pages fast
• Fully independent Webflow environment

✅ Option 2: Reverse Proxy (Advanced)

Want to host Webflow pages on the same root domain (e.g., /promo, /pricing, etc.) while the main site is elsewhere?

You can configure a reverse proxy to point specific routes to Webflow-hosted pages.

Example:

• yoursite.com/pricing → serves from Webflow
• yoursite.com/app → serves from your backend

✅ Pros:

• Seamless user experience
• Unified domain
• Great for SEO and branding

❌ Cons:

• Requires dev knowledge
• Needs custom server setup (e.g., NGINX, Netlify Edge, Cloudflare Workers)

🛠️ Enhancing Split Hosting with Gapflow

When you host pages on Webflow separately, you may worry about inconsistent behavior, especially when using custom JavaScript, logic, or interactive features.

This is where Gapflow comes in.

What is Gapflow?

Gapflow is a Webflow App that lets you write and manage JavaScript, CSS, and HTML logic directly in the Webflow Designer, without needing external servers or scripts.

🎯 Final Thoughts

You don’t need to host your entire website on Webflow to take advantage of its design and publishing power. Hosting only some pages—like your homepage, landing pages, or marketing content—is a proven, scalable strategy.

With Webflow’s custom domain support and tools like Gapflow, you can seamlessly integrate it into a larger tech stack—without breaking your workflow or user experience.
