Notion migration
Move from Notion to a real website
Export the Notion page as Markdown or HTML, including sub-pages. Ask an assistant to turn that export into a static site with real URLs, then publish it to Novence. A custom domain on Notion is an add-on of $8/month billed yearly, on top of a paid Notion plan. On Novence Free the domain and SSL are $0.

How do I get it online?
Step 1 · Export the pages
On a page, open the ••• menu, choose Export, and pick Markdown & CSV or HTML. Turn on sub-pages. Databases come out as CSV.
Step 2 · Rebuild the site
Give the zip to Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT and ask for a static site. Keep one folder per page, like
about/index.html, instead of Notion's long page IDs.Step 3 · Replace live databases
A published Notion database is not a data source you can query later. Turn posts into pages, and short lists into
/data/*.json.Step 4 · Publish and move the domain
Deploy, compare the preview with the Notion site, then point DNS at Novence. Cancel the custom-domain add-on only after the new site is the one visitors get.

An export, then a website
Notion's HTML export is a reading copy of the page, with images beside it. It is not a designed marketing site, and uploading that folder as-is looks like Notion. The useful part is the text, the structure, and the files.
A static rebuild gives you normal URLs, a layout you control, and a form that posts to your domain. Notion databases that filtered and sorted in the browser become either separate pages or a JSON file. Pick JSON when someone still needs to edit a short list.
What works on Novence?
- Docs, wikis, and portfolios exported as Markdown or HTML
- Databases exported as CSV and turned into pages
- Contact and quote forms with Novence Forms — submissions land in your inbox
- Your existing domain, without the Notion add-on
FAQ
Can I put a custom domain on a free Notion site?
No. Notion's Free plan publishes to a notion.site address. A custom domain is an add-on for workspace owners on a paid plan: $8/month billed yearly, or $10/month billed monthly, per domain.
Does the HTML export include sub-pages?
Yes, if you turn on sub-pages. Each page becomes a file, and images are saved next to it. A full-page database exports as CSV.
Will my Notion forms still work?
Forms inside Notion stay in Notion. Rebuild the public form with Novence Forms so submissions are emailed to you.
Can I keep using Notion as the draft?
Yes. Edit in Notion, export again, and ask the assistant to update the static pages. The live site is the folder on Novence.
