Can pro accounts remove references to Webflow in the source code of exported sites, or is this feature only available for websites running on Webflow hosting?

As of now, the option to remove references to Webflow in the source code is only available for websites running on Webflow hosting. This feature is not available for websites exported and hosted elsewhere.

Webflow offers a Pro Account subscription that provides several additional features and benefits, such as enhanced hosting options, custom code embedding, and white labeling for client work. However, even with a Pro Account, the ability to remove all references to Webflow in the source code is only applicable to websites hosted on Webflow's own servers.

Here are a few important considerations regarding the removal of Webflow references in the source code:

  1. Only on Webflow hosting: The feature to remove Webflow references is exclusive to websites hosted on Webflow servers. When exporting a Webflow site and hosting it elsewhere, references to Webflow will still be present in the source code.

  2. Branding removal: Removing references to Webflow in the source code allows you to customize the branding experience for your clients. This way, your clients will not see any indication that their site is built on the Webflow platform.

  3. Enhanced branding for agencies: The white labeling feature of a Pro Account allows agencies and freelancers to provide a fully branded experience to their clients. This includes the removal of Webflow references and the ability to add their own branding elements in the Webflow CMS Editor.

While the feature to remove references to Webflow in the source code is currently limited to websites hosted on Webflow servers, the platform continues to evolve, and new features may be introduced in the future that expand this functionality to exported sites as well.
