How to export website

This guide will help you export your website.

Regarding the directory component, it will work after export only if Google Sheets was selected as the data source.
Only static pages (those created directly on the platform) are included in the download. Dynamically generated pages won't function after the export.

Set up time: 2 mins.
Difficulty: easy.

Step 1: Go to the General settings > Export HTML tab:





Step 2: Download assets and unzip the archive:

Exported files

Step 3: Download the HTML pages of your website and put them in "exported_website" folder:



Export settings
If clicking the button redirects you to a web page instead of downloading the file, you just need to disconnect the custom domain by removing it in the site settings. This is because your site on our platform is connected to a domain that isn't linked to the site, and once you do this, the export feature will work again.

Exported files

Done! Now your website is on your local machine and ready to be uploaded to your own hosting or you can use it on any purpose.

NOTE: By exporting the website and hosting it somewhere else you are taking the full responsibility of your website uptime. You will also have to manually re-export all your pages to get the latest updates. Also, Unicorn Platform doesn't provide support for exported websites. Exported website cannot be imported back to Unicorn Platform.
You need to upload your images and videos to your own static files server. Images from your website stored on our hosting will be automatically deleted 30 days after the subscription cancellation.
