Webflow gives you full DNS management for domains connected to your project. Adding a Trust Center subdomain requires one CNAME record — no custom code embeds and no Designer changes.
Adding the DNS record in Webflow
- In your Webflow dashboard, open your project and go to Project Settings → Hosting
- Scroll to Custom Domains and click the domain
- Select DNS Settings (if Webflow manages your DNS)
- Add a CNAME record:
Type: CNAME
Name: trust
Value: trustcenter.proSave and allow up to 30 minutes for propagation.
Webflow domains managed externally
Many Webflow developers manage DNS through Cloudflare, Namecheap, or another registrar. Add the same CNAME record there. If using Cloudflare, set the proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud) for the trust subdomain.
Why not use Webflow CMS for compliance pages
You could build a privacy policy page in Webflow's CMS, but it requires manual updates when regulations change, doesn't include a DSAR form, and needs a developer to maintain. Trust Center handles updates automatically and adds capabilities no static CMS page can match.
Linking from your Webflow navbar or footer
In the Webflow Designer, open your footer symbol, add a link element, set the URL to https://trust.yourdomain.com, and publish. The link will appear across every page that uses the footer symbol.
