The ZIP covers the static site
The code export includes page files, three CSS files, Webflow JavaScript, and assets from the Assets panel. Collection templates appear as empty pages, and the export only includes the primary locale.
Self host Webflow in a Next.js website you control.
Self host Webflow with the design your customers know and the marketing features your team still needs. Use the Agentic Website Template to turn your exported site into an owned Next.js repository, reconnect content and lead capture, and deploy through your own hosting account.
A Webflow export gives you files. Self-hosting needs a complete website.
Webflow can export HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and static pages from a paid Workspace plan. Your live site may also rely on Collections, forms, site search, localized routes, user access, ecommerce, and Webflow hosting. Those parts need clear replacements before the domain moves.
Use the templateCMS and customer features need new homes
Collection content can be exported separately as CSV. Dynamic routes, Collection layouts, accounts, ecommerce, password protection, and localized pages must be rebuilt or connected to services you choose.
Lead capture and search need working services
Webflow form processing, file upload, reCAPTCHA, and site search do not operate on an exported site. Each form destination, search experience, analytics script, redirect, and integration needs to be reconnected and tested.
Turn the Webflow export into an owned Next.js website.
The Agentic Website Template provides the structure around your exported design. Your AI coding agent can rebuild the pages as maintainable components, connect the content and lead systems, preserve useful URLs, and leave your team with a site it can keep editing after launch.
See the three ways to use the templateRun the site from a standard Next.js repository.
Own the website
Pages, components, routes, styles, and project instructions live in a codebase your team controls. Deploy through your own hosting account and choose the content, analytics, and form services that fit your work.
- Use Next.js, React, TypeScript, and CSS
- Keep the source in your own repository
- Deploy through the provider you choose
Give CMS content a working publishing system.
Move Webflow Collections
Map Collection fields and CSV exports into routes, templates, rich text, images, references, and metadata. Start from the included blog pattern or connect the content source your marketing team prefers.
- Map Collection fields and slugs
- Rebuild dynamic and localized routes
- Keep content ready for internal linking
Send every form to a service your team owns.
Reconnect lead capture
Replace Webflow form processing with the included form route or a provider you choose. Preserve the visible fields and success states, then verify delivery, spam protection, consent, and campaign context.
- Choose the form destination
- Test success and error states
- Keep source and campaign context
Make every important page visible at its new host.
Keep search traffic
Render useful content and navigation in the page HTML. Carry over page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, structured data, internal links, and direct redirects so search engines and AI agents can understand the new site.
- Keep useful Webflow URLs
- Render important copy and links in HTML
- Redirect every changed path directly
Check the rebuilt services before launch.
Move the domain safely
Test routes, Collection pages, forms, search, scripts, mobile layouts, redirects, analytics, crawl settings, and production configuration. Review the working deployment before sending your existing domain to the new host.
- Check pages on desktop and mobile
- Verify forms, links, redirects, and analytics
- Confirm the production site can be indexed
How to self host a Webflow site with the template.
Start with the live site, the Webflow exports available to you, and a list of every connected feature. Build one representative page in the Agentic Website Template, review it, then use the approved patterns for the rest of the website.
Start with the Agentic Website Template- 01
Record the pages, content, and services
List every public URL, Collection, locale, form, search feature, script, redirect, protected area, and ecommerce flow. Confirm the licenses for any Webflow Marketplace template, font, image, or third-party asset.
- 02
Collect the code and content exports
Download the site ZIP from a paid Workspace plan. Export Collections, redirects, form records, products, or accounts separately when they apply, and save the original assets and project settings.
- 03
Rebuild one complete page in Next.js
Ask your coding agent to read README.md and AGENTS.md, then recreate the homepage inside the starter. Review the design, responsive behavior, interactions, content, metadata, and connected form before expanding the work.
- 04
Connect the services and launch
Build the remaining routes, move CMS content, reconnect lead capture and search, add redirects, and test the production configuration. Deploy through your own account, move the domain, and monitor the site.
What you gain when Webflow runs from your own codebase.
Control over hosting and services
Choose where the Next.js site runs and which tools handle content, forms, search, analytics, and customer data.
A complete site customers can still use
Keep the familiar design while Collection pages, localized routes, forms, redirects, and important integrations work from their new homes.
A website your team can keep changing
Brief Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor in plain language and review updates in a working preview before they reach production.
Self host Webflow questions.
Straight answers for teams moving a Webflow marketing site to infrastructure they control.
Can I self host a Webflow site?
Yes. Webflow says you can export HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets and host them anywhere. The exported site does not require Webflow attribution or an ongoing Webflow plan. A complete move must also replace the hosted features your website uses.
Which Webflow plan includes code export?
Webflow currently requires a paid Workspace plan for code export. A Site plan on its own does not include code export. Confirm the current plan requirements in Webflow before planning the move.
Which Webflow features need replacements after export?
CMS content and behavior, user accounts, ecommerce databases and checkout, password protection, native form processing, file upload, reCAPTCHA, site search, localized content beyond the primary locale, and code components need to be moved, rebuilt, or reconnected.
Can I self host a Webflow Marketplace template?
Webflow says a paid template can be hosted on another server under its Single-Use License, which continues to apply after export. Free templates have separate terms. Review the template license and confirm permission for custom fonts, images, icons, and other third-party assets before launch.
