Are there specific steps outlined on the Webflow University page for transferring a site built by a developer to a different Webflow account and publishing it?
TL;DR
- Duplicate the project in your Webflow dashboard.
- Transfer the project by entering the recipient's email under the Transfer tab in settings.
- The recipient should accept the transfer, add hosting, set up domains, and publish the site.
Transferring a site from one Webflow account to another and publishing it involves several clear steps. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Duplicate the Project
- Go to your Webflow dashboard and locate the project you want to transfer.
- Duplicate the project by clicking the three-dot menu on the project thumbnail and selecting Duplicate. This step creates a copy of the project for your records.
2. Transfer the Project
- Click on the project you want to transfer from your dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings by clicking the gear icon.
- Find the Transfer tab and enter the email address of the other Webflow account to which you want to transfer the project.
- Click Transfer Project. The recipient will receive an email to accept the transfer.
3. Publish the Site
- Once the recipient has accepted the transfer and the site is in their dashboard, they need to add hosting to their account.
- Select a hosting plan suitable for the site’s needs.
- Add custom domains if necessary by visiting the Hosting tab in the project settings and configuring the domain setup.
- Publish the site by clicking the Publish button and selecting the domain(s) you’ve set up.
Summary
To transfer a Webflow site, duplicate the project, transfer it using the email address of the new account, and once accepted, the new owner can add hosting and publish the site. Make sure the recipient account is ready to manage hosting to ensure a seamless transition.
