Recap: Custom code in Webflow

You’ve learned what custom code means in a visual-first platform, when it makes sense to use it, and how to decide where it should live based on scope and impact — whether that’s in the layout, on a single page, or across the entire site. You’ve also seen how placement, testing, and documentation affect how easy that code is to work with over time.

The big takeaway is simple: using custom code in Webflow is less about writing code and more about making thoughtful decisions about where and how to use it.
