Webflow CMS Limits and How to Utilize Them Effectively

How many websites can you create on a Webflow CMS plan? Scroll on to see how many sites you can build depending on your site plan, account limits, and your brand goals.

What Does the Webflow CMS Plan Actually Allow You to Do?

The Webflow CMS plan is designed for websites big on content.

If you’re a company focused on publishing a high volume of content, be it blogs, articles, case studies, content resources, and more, the Webflow CMS plan is for you.

Why?

To start with, a Webflow CMS plan gives you 20 CMS collections and 2,000 CMS items, which translates to 20 content types and 2,000 individual entries per site. We’ll break it down further for you in the article.

How does it differ from the other plans offered on Webflow? This plan is specifically made for SEO-driven companies built with structured content.

There are times when users mix up the Webflow CMS plan and the Webflow Workspace plan, even though the two serve very different purposes.

If you’re looking to build on Webflow, you can use a Workspace plan, but it doesn’t allow you to publish to a custom domain. A Workspace plan is mainly focused on collaboration: working on design and content with your team, managing roles and permissions, and handling staging sites that don’t go live.

On the other hand, a Webflow CMS plan is a type of site plan. It’s what allows you to host and publish a specific website, use CMS collections, and go live on a custom domain.

In short, you need a site plan (like CMS) to publish a website and a workspace plan to collaborate more effectively and access advanced staging and team features.

How Many Websites Can You Build With a Webflow CMS Plan?

You can create multiple projects on one plan, but there’s only one domain that goes live. This website has its own custom URL and domain.

Accessing a Webflow CMS plan does let you work on multiple projects, which means you can play around with many designs on your dashboard. The objective? Prototyping, site staging, and client previews. But in all this, only one site goes live.

What is a staging site in the first place? It’s your design preview where one can see your idea’s prototype. Free staging sites can be seen under Webflow’s subdomain but do not come with their custom link.  You only get a custom link when you publish your ‘staging site’ via a Webflow Site Plan.

Let’s explain all this with a real-world example.

If you’re building a blog and marketing site for a single content brand, you can opt for one Webflow CMS Site Plan (billed at $23/mo). This lets you publish a single site on your custom domain. Now imagine you manage multiple brands or businesses with different objectives. For this, you’ll need three separate site plans based on your requirement: one for each live site.

Webflow CMS Plan Limits You Should Know

There is a limit of 2,000 CMS items and 20 CMS collections on a Webflow CMS Plan. CMS items are individual entries inside a collection or page, like blog posts, team members, projects, events, etc. Collections represent different content types.

Think of collections as a location for a ‘specific kind of content.’ For example, blog posts, case studies, team members, and events. While a CMS item is an actual piece of content and can be seen inside the collection. Like an article on How to use Webflow is an item inside a collection called Blogs.

Other than this, the Webflow CMS plan supports up to 150 static pages. Static pages include pages like Home, About, Contact, or landing pages that aren’t driven by the CMS. It also includes 200 GB of monthly bandwidth and support for moderate traffic volumes. You can also invite 3 editors to manage CMS content!

FAQs

How many websites can I host on one Webflow CMS plan?

You can host one website on one Webflow CMS plan, for which you get a custom domain. If you want CMS features on more websites, each website will require its own CMS plan and domain.

Can I use one CMS plan for multiple domains?

No, you can only use one plan for one domain. If you want to publish the same content across different domains, you would need additional site plans.

Is the Webflow CMS plan enough for agencies?

The CMS plan alone is generally not enough for agencies looking to scale. While it works for hosting individual client websites, agencies typically also need a Workspace plan to manage multiple projects, collaborators, permissions, and staging sites efficiently.

What’s the difference between Workspace and CMS plan?

A Webflow CMS plan controls hosting, CMS features, and publishing a live website to a custom domain, while a Workspace plan controls collaboration, including team access, roles, permissions, and project management—but it does not publish websites.

Can I create unlimited websites in Webflow?

You can create multiple projects in Webflow, but you can only publish one website to a custom domain if it has a paid site plan. Each live website requires its own site plan.

Do I need a CMS plan for every website?

Only if that website needs CMS features (like blogs, dynamic content, or collections). Static websites can use a basic site plan.

Can I switch plans later in Webflow?

Absolutely. Webflow allows you to upgrade or downgrade site plans at any time, depending on your website’s needs and traffic requirements.

What happens if I exceed CMS limits?

If you exceed CMS limits like CMS items, collections, or bandwidth, Webflow will prompt you to upgrade your site plan. Once you exceed your limit, you won’t be able to add more content until you upgrade.
