When using a paid Webflow account or having an active site plan, you have the ability to add custom code and scripts that can be applied to your entire site or individual pages. This is incredibly useful for incorporating additional HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into your project.

Add Custom Code in the Head Section

If you want to add custom code that applies to your entire site, the Head section is the perfect place to do so. This allows you to include HTML, CSS, or JavaScript that affects every page on your website.

To add custom code in the Head section of your Webflow project:

  1. Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Select the Project Settings option from the left sidebar.
  3. In the Project Settings panel, click on the Custom Code tab.
  4. You will see two sections: Head Code and Footer Code. For now, focus on the Head Code section.
  5. In this section, you can add any necessary HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code that you want to apply globally across your website.
    • If you want to include additional CSS stylesheets or external libraries such as Font Awesome or Google Fonts, this is where you would paste those links.
    • If you need to embed custom JavaScript code for tracking analytics or integrating third-party services like live chat widgets, this is where it should go as well.
  7. Note: Make sure to wrap your JavaScript code inside appropriate script tags (<script>) and follow best practices for optimal performance and compatibility.
  8. Once you have added your custom code, click the Save button at the top right corner of the panel.

This way, any code you included in the Head section will be automatically applied to every page of your website, providing a consistent experience for your users.

Add Custom Code on Individual Pages

While adding code to the Head section affects your entire site, you might occasionally need to add code that only applies to specific pages. Webflow allows you to easily achieve this as well.

To add custom code on individual pages:

  1. Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  2. Select the desired page from the left sidebar.
  3. In the Designer view, click on the Settings icon at the top right corner of the canvas. It looks like a gear.
  4. In the Page Settings panel that appears on the right side of the screen, navigate to the Custom Code tab.
  5. You will see similar sections as in Project Settings: Head Code and Footer Code. Focus on Head Code for now.
  6. Add any specific HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code that you want to apply only to this particular page.
    • If there are additional styles or scripts required specifically for this page’s layout or functionality, include them here.
  8. Note: Remember to use script tags (<script>) when including JavaScript code and adhere to best practices for optimal performance and compatibility.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your custom code is applied only to the selected page, without affecting other pages or compromising your website’s overall performance.

Remember, having the ability to add custom code and scripts in Webflow gives you tremendous flexibility in enhancing your website’s functionality and appearance. Whether it’s adding new design elements or integrating third-party services, this feature empowers you to create a highly personalized and unique web experience for your visitors.
