Flexible url paths for a real estate app with webflow a...

At a glance

Hello everyone! I'm new here, so sorry if the question is a bit trivial 🙂

I've just started a website on Webflow that will go hand in hand with a Bubble app, and I've run into a limitation I hadn’t anticipated: the inability to create flexible URL paths natively.

For example: it’s a real estate app with rental listings. To improve SEO, I planned to have:

A page for each Region (e.g., Furnished apartment rental in Alpes Maritimes)
A page for each Town (e.g., Furnished apartment rental in Nice)

Ideally, I wanted to have this kind of URL path: https://mydomain.com/furnished-rental/alpes-maritimes/nice/very-bright-3-bedroom-apartment

Before all of this, I had started looking into Webstudio (especially its CMS system, which I find very pertinent), but I paused for simplicity (I know Webflow a bit better) and because I didn’t want to learn a new tool.

Is it possible to create this type of path with Webstudio?

Thanks for your answers 🙂

Ouch I did something similar few years back

BBogdan

But generally yes, you can extract values from this url with dynamic path

Plain Text

/:type/:location/:rating/:slug

BBogdan

And all those will be available as

Plain Text

system.params.type
system.params.location
system.params.rating
system.params.slug

BBogdan

Those can be passed into custom backend or cms query

Webflow cms is limited and from my experience real estate requires a lot of generative content which can be done only with custom backend

BBogdan

Though it depends on your client requirements. Maybe webflow cms will be enough.

Hey Bogdan ! Thanks for your answer 🙂

Okay so technically, this could work.

And in terms of performance, do they stay resonnable even with this sort of depth ?

I did a few performance test with Webstudio, and I have to say I was nicely surprised hahah

BBogdan

Webstudio is aiming to have as less as possible overhead here. So if backend or cms are fast all should be good.

BBogdan

Like depth here does not matter

BBogdan

it's just set of values

Okay cool, that’s good news then ! I’m gonna start testing this, thanks a lot 🙂
