Can I export my code from Webflow?

Absolutely! Webflow allows you to export the code for your website on paid Workspace plans. This means you can get the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and all the assets that make up your site.

Here’s why you might want to export your code:

• Backup: Having a copy of the code provides a safety net in case something happens to your Webflow project.
• Client needs: If a client requests the website’s code, you can easily export it and share it with them.
• Host elsewhere: You can potentially host the exported code on a different platform if needed, although there might be some additional setup involved.

Here’s how to export your code from Webflow:

1. Open your website in the Webflow Designer.
2. Click the Export button (it looks like an upward pointing arrow with a box around it) in the top right corner.
3. Click Prepare ZIP. Webflow will prepare all the necessary files.
4. Once ready, click Download ZIP to get the compressed code folder.

Remember, exported code might require some adjustments to function properly outside of Webflow, especially for features like CMS content or custom interactions.

Does Webflow export clean code?

The cleanliness of exported Webflow code depends on your definition. Here’s a breakdown:

• Generally well-structured: Webflow generates well-organized and human-readable code, making it easier to understand and edit if needed.
• Not minified: The exported code might include comments and extra lines for readability, which can increase file size but make it easier for developers to work with.
• Potential for nested elements: Due to Webflow’s visual design approach, there might be instances of nested elements in the HTML. While functional, some developers might prefer a flatter structure.

Overall, Webflow’s exported code provides a good foundation for further customization or integration with external tools.

Webflow doesn’t directly export website content like text, images, or collections in a separate format. However, the exported code includes all the content embedded within the HTML files.
