To disable the email submission form on your exported site in Webflow, you will need to edit your code and remove the form element that contains the code for the email submission.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to disable the email submission form on your exported site in Webflow:

  1. Export your Webflow site: Start by exporting your Webflow site by going to the Webflow Designer and clicking on the "Export" button in the top right corner. This will download a ZIP file containing all the necessary files for your site.

  2. Extract the ZIP file: Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a location on your computer. You'll find a folder structure with various files and folders that make up your website.

  3. Open the exported site in a code editor: Use a code editor like Visual Studio Code, Atom, or Sublime Text to open the exported site folder. This allows you to make changes to the code.

  4. Locate the email submission form code: Navigate to the HTML file that contains the email submission form code. Typically, this would be located in the "index.html" file or a separate file named something like "contact.html" or "form.html". Look for the form element or code related to the email submission form.

  5. Delete the email form code: Remove the form element and any related code that pertains to the email submission form. This usually involves deleting the <form> tags and its contents, including the input fields, labels, and submit button.

  6. Save the changes: After removing the email submission form code, save the changes to the HTML file.

  7. Verify the changes: To ensure that the email submission form has been successfully disabled, you can open the edited HTML file in a web browser and test the form. Submitting the form should not send any emails or show any error messages related to the email submission.

  8. Re-upload the edited files: After verifying the changes, re-upload the edited files to your web hosting provider or server, replacing the existing files. This will make the updates live on your website.

By following these steps, you will be able to successfully disable the email submission form on your exported site in Webflow.
