Yes, you can export and host a Webflow site elsewhere while retaining the Lottie files on the page. Here's how you can do it:

Log in to your Webflow account and open the project you want to export.
Go to the project settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left sidebar.
In the "General" tab, scroll down and click on the "Export" button.
Choose the export option that best suits your needs. You can export the entire project or only specific pages.
Click on the "Export" button and choose a location on your computer to save the exported files.

Once you have exported your Webflow site, you need to find a hosting provider to host your site. There are many hosting providers available, such as Netlify, AWS, or GitHub Pages.
Sign up for an account with the hosting provider of your choice.
Follow the hosting provider's instructions to upload your exported Webflow files to their server. This typically involves connecting to your hosting account via FTP or using a web-based file manager.
Upload the entire exported site folder to the hosting server.

In Webflow, Lottie files are typically stored in the "Assets" folder within your project.
When you export your Webflow site, make sure to include the "Assets" folder in the exported files.
Upload the "Assets" folder along with the rest of the exported files to your hosting server.
Ensure that the file paths in your exported HTML files are correct and pointing to the Lottie files in the "Assets" folder.
Test your exported site to make sure the Lottie animations are working correctly.

By following these steps, you can successfully export and host your Webflow site elsewhere while retaining the Lottie files on the page.
