I am not ready to use all pages of a template--how do I hide them?

[rvdebby (Deb Blecha)]

I am using Spazia Template. I have figured out most of it. My customer has not given me all the info I need to proceed. My best option is to condense to fewer pages and get this live. Can I turn off certain pages? Or do I need to create a copy of the site and delete those pages? (Portfolio and About Us pages)

The customer already has a URL, and has his old site hosted. Do I follow the instructions for exporting? or is there an easier way to accomplish that? He does not want to pay a monthly fee. If I do send a website over to other hosting does that mean I can’t make changes? Would it then be a Word Press back end operation or what?

I am not yet fluent in web-talk so really dumb it down… Thank you

The best option is to not link to any pages you are not currently using. If you’re not using the About Us page then delete the nav bar link and any other links to that page.

If your client wants to use their old hosting setup then you will have to export the site following Webflow’s export instructions.

Once the site is exported you can make changes directly to the code files that are exported. If you don’t know how to code you’ll need to keep the project saved on your Webflow dashboard so that you can make changes and re-export the site.

Once you export the site the CMS you use (if any) is up to you and your client. Wordpress is one of many CMSs that can be used. If you are thinking they need a CMS then you will want to hire a developer to take the Webflow Export and integrate it into the CMS you choose.

Hope that helps

CMS is Content Management System. Am I correct to say Word Press, Square Space, and Webflow are all ways to manage your content in a simplified form for us? And they are not interchangeable? You can, however, export the coding that is generated when you use Webflow to design work, into Word Press and then have it saved or hosted by Web Gator or other companies that provide that service.

The easiest way is to do everything in Webflow, but not all customers want to give up their existing domains and services. Webflow is faster and very secure but it is $10 a month billed monthly. There is a way to send this to your client, correct? QUESTION: If I do send it to my client can I still work on the site for the client?

If I have a template that doesn’t have a blog can I take that from another template or do I need to design it myself? Can blog posts be configured to automatically post to a connected Facebook and Twitter page?

Can I mix pages from different Templates? I know that those templates purchases are for a one time use. Hmmmmm, the more I learn the more I don’t know. I am sure it will turn around at some point, I hope you don’t get sick of my questions while I am in the process.

Hi @rvdebby, please also refer to a detailed post I made for a related question on CMS.

Features of Webflow

In the Webflow CMS system, we have groups of CMS items (content) called Collections. These collections have their own fields, so each of the items in the same collection have the same fields. For example, a Blog Post collection has fields like Title/Summary/BodyText/Category/Tags, while an Author collection has fields like Name/Photo/Biography. Each of these collections hold many items. CMS content is simply “all items” in all collections. No. Wordpress.org is a company that develops and di…

Also, since you are considering the limitations of Webflow CMS, do take a look at this as well. Do note that you cannot export CMS collections and items from Webflow.

Compiling a list of lesser-known limitations on Webflow here for reference. This list will be kept updated. Designer Max number of pages per project: 2 (free), 100 (any paid account or project) Max number of characters for project dashboard custom/embed code fields: 20,000 per field (head/footer) Max number of characters for custom/embed code component: 10,000 Max number of items per dropdown list: 100 No page slug transliteration for non-english titles. No support for CSS nest…

QUESTION: If I do send it to my client can I still work on the site for the client?

No, the project will no longer be in your dashboard.

If I have a template that doesn’t have a blog can I take that from another template or do I need to design it myself?

Can I mix pages from different Templates?

There is currently no such functionality to copy code/layout/styles from another project. It may happen in the future.

Can blog posts be configured to automatically post to a connected Facebook and Twitter page?

Not automatically. You need to use the RSS feature, connect it with an external service like IFTTT or Zapier, to perform an external action.
