Yes, the code export feature in Webflow allows for seamless publishing to your own AWS server, regardless of how often the content is updated. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Design and build your website using Webflow's visual interface and drag-and-drop functionality. Webflow provides a user-friendly environment to create beautiful and responsive websites without the need for coding.

  2. Once your website is ready to be published, you can export the code from Webflow. This code includes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that make up your website.

  3. To host your website on AWS, you need to set up an AWS S3 bucket. S3 is a storage service that allows you to store and retrieve large amounts of data, including static website files.

  4. After creating an S3 bucket, you can upload the exported code files to the bucket using the AWS Management Console or any AWS SDK.

  5. To make your website accessible to the public, enable static website hosting on your S3 bucket. This will generate a URL for your website that you can share.

  6. Whenever you need to update the content on your website, you can go back to Webflow, make the necessary changes, and export the updated code. Then, simply replace the old code files in your S3 bucket with the new ones.

  7. Your website will reflect the changes once the updated code is uploaded to the S3 bucket. This process can be repeated as frequently as needed, whether it's on a weekly basis or more often.

By utilizing the code export feature in Webflow and hosting your website on AWS, you can easily maintain and update your website while taking advantage of Webflow's powerful design capabilities and AWS's robust hosting infrastructure.
