Protecting the Webflow site with password, but not the published site

Actually… yes.

  1. Publish your site in its public state, on your custom domain.
  2. Then uncheck the publish checkbox in front of the custom domain, only leaving the one in front of the .io that you’ll use as a staging.
  3. set up the password on the site
  4. publish (to .io)

You now have a protected .io staging and an open site on custom domain. Don’t forget to unset the password next time you push your changes to production (custom domain).
