No, hosting a Webflow site does not require exporting the site every time there is a CMS update. Unlike traditional static website builders, Webflow's CMS (Content Management System) is integrated directly into the hosting platform. This means that when you make updates or changes to your CMS content, such as adding new blog posts or updating product descriptions, those changes are automatically reflected on your live site without the need for exporting and re-uploading.

Webflow's hosting platform is designed to handle real-time updates to your CMS content, making it much more efficient and user-friendly. This eliminates the need for manual exporting and updating, saving you time and effort in managing your website.

To update the CMS content on your Webflow site, simply make the changes within the Webflow Designer or Editor. Once you save your changes, they will be immediately applied to your live site.

Overall, Webflow's hosting and CMS integration streamline the process of updating and managing your website, offering a seamless experience for both site owners and visitors.
