Yes, you can upload an HTML website to Webflow and make amendments on the platform. Webflow provides a feature called "import site" that allows you to import an existing HTML website into the Webflow designer. Here's how you can do it:

Log in to your Webflow account and create a new project.
In the project dashboard, click on the "Import site" button.
Choose the option to import an HTML website.
Webflow will prompt you to upload your HTML files. You can upload a ZIP file containing your entire HTML website or manually upload each HTML file.
Once the upload is complete, Webflow will automatically convert your HTML files into its own format.
You can now make amendments to your website using Webflow's visual editor, CMS, and other features. You can modify the design, add interactions, create responsive layouts, and more.
After making the desired changes, you can publish your website directly from Webflow. The website will be hosted on Webflow's servers, and you'll receive a unique Webflow subdomain or can connect a custom domain.

Importing an HTML website into Webflow is a convenient way to leverage the platform's powerful design tools and CMS functionality while maintaining the structure and content of your existing site.

However, it's important to note that:

Complex functionality or interactions built with custom code may need to be re-implemented using Webflow's native components or custom code options.
Webflow's visual editor may not perfectly convert all aspects of your original website, so you may need to review and adjust the design after the import.

By uploading your HTML website to Webflow and making amendments on the platform, you can take advantage of Webflow's robust features and enhance your website's design and functionality.
