Structure
Check page hierarchy, navigation, copy, links, and the content that made it into the export.
All static exports
For an exported site
Preview a Webflow export before it becomes the site.
A Webflow export can give a team a static snapshot to inspect outside the Designer. HTMLShare can publish the exported files as a preview link; it does not host Webflow CMS data, forms, ecommerce, or a live Webflow project.
Static export contract
The export is what gets reviewed
A static export is useful when the question is about the rendered site, not the editing environment behind it.
Assets
Verify images, fonts, CSS, JavaScript, and relative paths survive the move from exported folder to ZIP preview.
Handoff
Use the link to confirm what a client or production host should receive before you finalize the next deployment step.
Where the export helps
A browser link makes the next conversation concrete.
Client approval
Give a client a browser link to review an exported marketing site without inviting them into the Webflow Designer.
Static host comparison
Check the exported files on a neutral preview URL before choosing a long-term production host or domain.
Agency handoff
Let a developer or content partner inspect the actual export and its asset paths before taking over the project.
Why this handoff works
Keep the useful part close to the artifact.
Keep the review tool-neutral
Review the rendered export without requiring every stakeholder to have Webflow access or understand the Designer workspace.
Catch export gaps
A fresh preview can reveal missing assets, broken links, or assumptions that were hidden inside the authoring environment.
Name the next host honestly
Use the export preview to review a static snapshot, then choose production hosting for the final public site and its connected features.
A three-step workflow
From the right files to the right reaction.
- 01
Export the site
Use Webflow’s export workflow and keep the generated HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, and folders together.
- 02
Zip the export
Create a ZIP with the entry HTML and asset folders at the structure expected by the exported paths. Do not upload only one page when it needs shared assets.
- 03
Review the snapshot
Open the preview on desktop and mobile, check navigation and assets, and send the link with the remaining handoff questions.
Know the boundary
A preview is useful because it is honest.
HTMLShare publishes browser-ready static output. Keep builds, source tools, private access, live data, and production operations in the systems built for them.
No Webflow integration
This is a static export workflow. HTMLShare does not connect to Webflow, sync changes, host the CMS, or run Designer features.
Exported forms may not work
Webflow CMS, forms, ecommerce, memberships, and other connected features may need Webflow or another production service to function.
Preview before production
Move the approved export to a production setup when it needs a canonical domain, analytics, submissions, SEO operations, or ongoing edits.

Before you publish
Webflow export preview FAQ
Can I host a Webflow export on HTMLShare?
You can publish the exported static files as a preview. Upload the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts together in a ZIP when the export has multiple files.
Does HTMLShare host Webflow CMS or forms?
No. HTMLShare publishes static files and does not provide Webflow CMS, form processing, ecommerce, memberships, or Designer synchronization.
Why does the exported site look different after upload?
Check that the complete export was zipped, the entry file and asset folders are at the right level, and the HTML uses the paths generated by the export.
Ready for the next review
Put the current page in front of the right person.
Create a noindex preview link for the static HTML or ZIP project, then move approved work to production when it is ready.
