How to set a page as the homepage in Webflow?

Your homepage is the first thing visitors see when they visit your root domain. In Webflow, you can change which page serves as your homepage at any time through the Pages panel.

Changing the homepage

Open your project in the Webflow Designer. Go to Pages in the left sidebar. Find the page you want to set as your homepage — it can be any static page. Click the gear icon next to that page to open its settings, then scroll to the bottom and click Set as Home page (or Set as Home). Confirm the change.

The new homepage will load at your root URL (e.g., yoursite.com), and the previous homepage becomes a regular page with its own slug.

How Webflow handles the switch

When you set a new homepage, Webflow automatically updates several things:

• The root URL (/) resolves to the new homepage.

• The old homepage gets assigned a slug based on its name and becomes accessible at that path.

• Internal links pointing to the old homepage's root path now load the new homepage.

CMS collection pages as homepage

You cannot set a CMS collection template page as the homepage directly. However, you can work around this by designing your homepage as a static page and using CMS-bound elements (like a List or dynamic embed) to pull in collection content.

Alternatively, use a redirect from the root URL to a specific CMS item if you need a particular collection item to act as the homepage.

Things to check after switching

Navigation links. Review your navbar and footer links. Any hardcoded "Home" links should still point to the root URL, which now loads the new homepage.

SEO settings. Update the meta title, description, and Open Graph tags on the new homepage. The old homepage's SEO data doesn't carry over automatically.

301 redirects. If the old homepage was indexed at /, Google now needs to find the new content there. Re-publish and submit your updated sitemap through Google Search Console to speed up re-indexing.
