Hey Wonderful Webflowers
Thought I would share with the community a personal project of mine.
It’s called Subfold and it’s a no code tool for easily hosting Webflow sites on subfolders.
If you want to check it out, I’ve created a quick tutorial called How to Setup a Reverse Proxy for Webflow which explains how it works.
It also works with other popular platforms like Wordpress, Ghost, Squarespace, Bubble allowing you to host multiple platforms on one domain name.
I’ve worked with a bunch of companies that have needed to solve the problem of “how do we easily host our Webflow marketing site and our blog on the same domain name without using subdomains?”. This was always for the SEO benefits of having all content under one authoritative domain.
The common way to solve this problem is to use a reverse proxy web server like Nginx, Apache or even Cloudflare Workers.
The down side to this approach is that you have to have a good technical understanding of how to configure these services with code and then often you’ll need to self-host the proxy server which requires ongoing maintenance.
I thought it was a real shame that this was the case for a No Code platform like Webflow which makes it easy to achieve pretty much everything else without self-hosting and writing code.
Hopefully someone here finds it helpful!
If you have any SEO-related questions or questions about the product, feel free to leave a comment.
Peace
