Can I design a website for a client using my "starter" account plan and then transfer it to their own "starter" account for hosting on Webflow? Does my client need a paid account plan in order to host a website on Webflow, or can they use the "Basic" or "CMS" hosting plan with the "Starter" account plan?
Transferring a website from your "Starter" account to your client's "Starter" account on Webflow
Yes, you can design a website for a client using your own "Starter" account plan on Webflow and then transfer it to their own "Starter" account for hosting.
To transfer a website from your account to your client's account, you can follow these steps:
Design the website: Design and build the website on your own "Starter" account using the Webflow Designer tool. Make sure to create the website using your own account and pay attention to all the details, including the design, content, interactions, and functionality.
Prepare for transfer: Before transferring the website, ensure that all the necessary assets, including images, videos, fonts, and scripts, are accessible and properly organized. Double-check that the website is fully functional and compatible across different devices and browsers.
Transfer the project: Once the website is ready for transfer, go to the project settings in your Webflow dashboard. Under the "Project settings" tab, scroll down to the "Transfer ownership" section. Enter your client's email address and click on the "Start transfer" button.
Client acceptance: Your client will then receive an email from Webflow with instructions on accepting ownership of the transferred website. They will need to follow the provided steps to claim the website and move it to their own account.
Hosting options: In terms of hosting the website on Webflow, your client does not need a paid account plan to host a website. They can use the "Basic" or "CMS" hosting plan even if they have a "Starter" account plan. However, it's worth noting that the "Basic" or "CMS" hosting plans have additional features and benefits that may be useful for your client, such as higher traffic limits, form submissions, and access to Webflow's CMS.
By following these steps, you can successfully design a website using your "Starter" account plan and transfer it to your client's own "Starter" account for hosting on Webflow. This allows your client to maintain ownership and control of their website while benefiting from Webflow's powerful hosting capabilities.
