How can I change the title in Webflow from "Slate Template" to a new one after updating the Dashboard?

TL;DR
  • Change the Project Name in Webflow Dashboard settings.  
  • Update the Title Tag in Page Settings via the Designer.  
  • Publish the site for the changes to take effect.

You're seeing "Slate Template" as the title likely because the page title and/or project name haven't been updated after publishing from the template. Here's how to change both the site title and page title in Webflow.

1. Rename the Project in the Dashboard

  • Log into Webflow and go to the Dashboard.
  • Hover over your project and click the three-dot menu.
  • Click Settings.
  • Under the General tab, change the Project Name to your preferred title.
  • Scroll down and click Save Changes.

This updates how the project appears in your Webflow Dashboard.

2. Change the Page Title (Browser Tab Title)

  • From the Webflow Designer, go to the top menu and click Pages.
  • Hover over the Home page (or the relevant page) and click the settings icon (gear).
  • In the Page Settings panel, update the Title Tag field to your new site name or desired page title.
  • Update the Meta Description as needed.
  • Click Save.

This controls what displays in the browser tab and in search engine results.

3. Publish the Changes

  • Once you’ve renamed the project and page title, click the Publish button in the upper-right of the Designer.
  • Choose your domain(s) and click Publish to Selected Domains.

Summary

Update the project name in Dashboard settings and the Title Tag in Page Settings to replace the "Slate Template" text. Don’t forget to publish changes for them to go live.
