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?

Yes, there are specific steps outlined on the Webflow University page for transferring a site built by a developer to a different Webflow account and publishing it. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:

Step 1: Export the Website Files
Before transferring the site, you need to export the website files from the current Webflow account. To do this, go to the Webflow Designer and click on the "Settings" tab, then select the "Export" tab. Choose the option to export your website files by clicking on the "Export Site" button. This will generate a ZIP file containing all the necessary files.

Step 2: Import the Website Files
Now, in the Webflow account where you want to transfer the site to, create a new empty project. From the Designer, go to the "Settings" tab and click on the "Import" tab. Select the option to import the website files by clicking on the "Choose File" button and selecting the ZIP file you exported in the previous step. Once the file is uploaded, Webflow will begin importing the site.

Step 3: Connect Custom Domains (optional)
If the site uses custom domains, you'll need to connect them to the new Webflow account. In the Designer, go to the "Hosting" tab and click on the "Add Custom Domain" button. Follow the instructions provided by Webflow to complete the domain connection process. It might involve updating DNS records or configuring DNS settings with your domain registrar.

Step 4: Configure Site Settings
After the site is imported, make sure to configure the site settings in the new Webflow account. This may include updating SEO settings, adding collaborators, configuring forms, and other site-specific settings.

Step 5: Publish the Site
Once you have completed the above steps, you can publish the site to make it live on the new Webflow account. In the Designer, click on the "Publish" button located at the top right corner. Webflow will automatically deploy the changes and make the site accessible under the new account and URL.

It's important to note that if the original developer used any custom code or integrations on the site, they might need to be reconfigured or updated in the new Webflow account to ensure they function correctly.

I recommend referring to the official Webflow University page on transferring sites for more detailed instructions and any updates specific to the current version of Webflow.
