A team trusted Webflow's 'you can always export your code', then tried it and lost the CMS overnight.

A team trusted Webflow's 'you can always export your code', then tried it and lost the CMS overnight.
The pitch that sold them: no lock-in, full HTML/CSS export anytime. Two years in, they exported to leave, and discovered the export ships static markup with zero CMS, no forms backend, and class names tuned to Webflow's renderer. Rebuilding the dynamic blog and 600 CMS items took 4 weeks of dev work they hadn't budgeted. 'Exportable' is not the same as 'portable.' The static HTML leaves; the system you actually depended on stays behind. Read what export really includes before you call it an exit.
