Webflow migration
Move from Webflow to a static site
Webflow can export HTML, CSS, and JS on a paid Workspace plan. That zip leaves CMS pages empty, and forms, search, checkout, and memberships stop working. Export each collection as CSV, have an assistant fill those pages, and publish the folder to Novence. Check the preview, then move the domain. Hosting on the Free plan is $0 with SSL.

How do I get it online?
Step 1 · Export the code and the CMS
On a paid Workspace plan, open the main menu and choose Code export, then Prepare ZIP. Separately, export each CMS collection as CSV. The zip's collection pages are empty shells.
Step 2 · Fill the pages
Ask Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT to turn the CSV rows into real pages, keeping the same paths as folders like
blog/launch/index.html.Step 3 · Replace forms and checkout
Point contact forms at Novence Forms. A simple product becomes a Stripe Payment Link. Memberships and Webflow Logic do not come along.
Step 4 · Preview, then move DNS
Deploy and compare

What the zip actually contains
Webflow's help center says code export is a Workspace feature, not a Site plan feature. The zip has your static pages, CSS, the Webflow JavaScript for navbars and interactions, and images from the Assets panel. Collection lists render their empty state. Collection pages have no CMS field content. Localized pages, user accounts, ecommerce, password protection, site search, and form processing are left out. Form submissions can be exported separately.
Treat the zip as the layout and the CSV as the content. After the assistant merges them, the site is ordinary files. Interactions that depended on Webflow's JavaScript keep working only while those scripts stay in the folder.
# public/_redirects — copy rules from Webflow /blog/:slug /writing/:slug 301 /old-page / 301

FAQ
Can I export my Webflow site to HTML?
Yes, on a paid Workspace plan: Main menu, Code export, Prepare ZIP. CMS items, ecommerce, accounts, localization, search, and form processing are not in that zip. Export collections as CSV.
Will Webflow interactions keep working?
Navbars, sliders, tabs, and interactions rely on the JavaScript in the zip. Leave those files in place. Features that call Webflow's servers, including forms and search, stop.
Do I need a Workspace plan and a Site plan?
Code export needs a paid Workspace plan. Publishing on your domain on Webflow needs a Site plan: Basic is $15/month billed yearly, Premium is $25/month billed yearly and includes the CMS.
Can I keep my rankings?
Keep the same URLs, and add a 301 in /_redirects for any path that changes. Move DNS only after the preview matches.
