Publishing a CMS Webflow site to an already existing non webflow sites subfolder

Hi, I am working for a client on a CMS Blog using webflow.
They are happy to pay for and host the webflow CMS blog via webflow.

My question is this. The client wants to publish this CMS Webflow blog on their already existing domain under a subfolder.

i.e. www.clientssite.com/blog

The website www.clientssite.com is hosted elsewhere as it is a custom, non webflow site.
Is this possible while maintaining the CMS functionality?
How would the existing site developers help to set this cms blog up on an existing domains subfolder?

Thanks for help!

Hi Flip,

Webflow’s site will be published as an entirely separate website, it cannot be published as a path beneath your existing site. The easier way would be to create it as a subsite, e.g. blog.clientsite.com

If your client really wants it as a subdirectory, it will depend on the technology they’re using for their main site. They may be able to do some form of URL rewriting.

If not, the approach I’d generally use is to build a reverse proxy which allows you to essentially merge several sites together. This is somewhat more complex to architect & build but also more versatile.

Thank you for your reply. You insight is appreciated!

So the webflow CMS blog can be published to the existing sites sub domain i.e. blog.clientssite.com via webflow and maintain CMS functionality?
How would I publish this to an existing sites subdomain? (blog.clientssite.com)

Thanks!

Correct.

Thanks. the Reverse Proxy can be set up in cloudflare it seems.

If you wanted to go the reverse proxy route, yes I typically engineer them on top of Cloudflare. There is a lot to consider if you go that route… navigation, link changes, sitemap, dynamic changes, rewrites, redirects, canonicals, alt hreflang’s.

I’ve some notes here; though your use case is “site merge” more than “semantic SEO paths,” which the notes are more directed towards.
