Host landing page in Webflow, and dashboard in Vercel using the same domain


So let's say my company has a domain abc.com, we want to make sure that marketing and content within the team can manage all the marketing-related pages like the landing page for example via Webflow, while the actual app (dashboard + auth) is hosted via Vercel.

The issue right now is that I don't really have an understanding how I would go about this. The only functional solution that comes to my head is to give the app a different domain like abc.app, which isn't reasonable.

Basically, I'd like to hear how I could go about this. Ideally I'd like it if Vercel could co-exist with Webflow on the same domain without any subdomains or anything.

This is, at the crux of it a DNS problem so I would really love some insight.


Solution

  • I was just searching for the answer myself, thought I'd come back here to answer now I figured it out.

    In your domain provider (for example godaddy) you just need to set a CNAME record like app.abc.com to point to cname.vercel-dns.com.

    You can click 'add' in the domains section of vercel (rather than buy or transfer in) and it'll tell you what to do.
