If you want to export a website from Webflow without including the .html file, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your project in Webflow.
  2. Go to the "Publish" tab in the top menu bar.
  3. Click on the "Export Code" button.
  4. In the modal that appears, you'll see a list of checkboxes for different files and folders that can be exported.
  5. Uncheck the box for the ".html" file. This will prevent the export of the HTML files.
  6. Choose the other files and folders you want to include in the export. For example, you might want to include assets like images and CSS files.
  7. Once you're done customizing the export settings, click on the "Export" button.
  8. Webflow will generate a ZIP file containing all the selected files and folders, except for the .html file.

By following these steps, you can export your Webflow website without including the .html file. This can be useful if you want to use the Webflow design and development features, but host your website on a different platform or integrate it into an existing infrastructure.

Note: Removing the .html files means you won't have standalone pages that can be accessed directly through a web server. You'll need to set up a server or platform that can handle routing and display your content.
