by

Are you looking to create AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) pages in Webflow? You’ve come to the right place!

In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create AMP pages using Webflow’s powerful features. Let’s get started!

What are AMP Pages?

AMP stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages, which is an open-source initiative aimed at improving the performance and user experience of mobile web pages. AMP pages are designed to load quickly on mobile devices, providing users with a seamless and fast browsing experience. These pages are stripped down versions of traditional HTML pages, optimized for speed and efficiency.

Getting Started

To create AMP pages in Webflow, you need to have a Webflow account. If you don’t have one already, head over to the Webflow website and sign up for an account. Once you have your account set up, follow these steps:

  1. Create a New Project: Log in to your Webflow account and click on “Create New Project.” Give your project a name and select any template that suits your needs.
  2. Select Blank Template: When creating a new project, choose the “Blank” template option. This will provide you with a clean canvas to work with.
  3. Add Elements: Start building your AMP page by adding elements such as text blocks, images, buttons, and forms using the Webflow Designer tool.

Implementing AMP Syntax

To make your web page an AMP page, you need to add specific syntax and tags provided by the AMP HTML framework. Here’s how you can implement it:

  • Add the AMP Library: To enable AMP functionality, you need to add the AMP library to your page’s <head> tag. Use the following code snippet:


<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script>

  • Use AMP Tags: Replace standard HTML tags with their corresponding AMP tags. For example, use <amp-img> instead of <img>, and <amp-img> instead of <a>.

    Refer to the official AMP documentation for a complete list of available tags.

  • Avoid External Stylesheets: Inline all your CSS styles within the <style amp-custom> tag. External stylesheets are not allowed in AMP pages.

Testing and Publishing

Once you have implemented the necessary changes, it’s essential to test your AMP page for validation and performance. You can use the official Google AMP Test tool to validate your page and identify any errors or warnings that need to be fixed.

If your page passes the validation test, it’s time to publish it! Webflow provides various hosting options, including their own Webflow Hosting or exporting the code and hosting it on your preferred platform. Choose a hosting option that suits your needs and publish your AMP page for the world to see!

In Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to create AMP pages in Webflow.

By following these steps and implementing the necessary syntax, you can create high-performing mobile web pages that provide an exceptional user experience. Remember to test your pages and continuously optimize them for better performance. Happy coding!
