What are the benefits of exporting a Webflow website with CMS items?

There are numerous reasons why you might want to export your website code and use it somewhere else.

If you're building a site for a client, it's usually best to build the site in Webflow so that they can make changes themselves (in most cases). However, sometimes clients will ask for their own hosting or CMS system for their website. In this case, exporting your Webflow website code with CMS items allows you to easily transfer those assets over to another host.

You may also want to use your existing Webflow content on another domain or CMS platform—perhaps you've started building an e-commerce site and want to move from WordPress into Shopify, Squarespace or BigCommerce later on? Or perhaps there's a new blog theme available on a different platform than WordPress? Exporting your code with CMS items gives you the flexibility of moving between platforms without having to start over again from scratch!
