Yes, it is possible to move a Webflow website from one account to another account. However, it cannot be done through direct export or import functionality within the Webflow platform. To transfer a website from one account to another, you'll need to follow these steps:

Export the Website: Export the website from the original account as a ZIP file. To do this, go to the Webflow Designer, select the Project Settings from the top-right corner, and navigate to the "Export" tab. Click on the "Download ZIP" button to download the ZIP file containing all the necessary files of the website.
Create a New Project: Sign in to the destination account and create a new empty project.
Import the Website: To import the exported website into the new account, you'll need to use the Webflow CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool. Install the Webflow CLI on your computer by visiting the Webflow's CLI installation guide.
Authenticate the CLI: Open your terminal and authenticate the CLI by running the webflow login command. Follow the prompts to complete the authentication process.
Import the Project: Once authenticated, navigate to the folder where you've saved the exported ZIP file. Open the terminal within that folder and use the webflow import command followed by the path to the ZIP file. For example, webflow import path/to/website.zip. This will start the import process.
Configure the New Project: After the import, the Webflow CLI will prompt you to provide a name and domain for the new project. Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
Publish and Test: Once the import is complete and the project is configured, you can publish the website to make it live. Visit the Webflow Designer for the new project, make any necessary edits or customizations, and then publish it.

By following these steps, you can successfully move a Webflow website from one account to another. Remember that this process requires some technical knowledge and familiarity with the Webflow CLI tool.
