To send the Webflow code to your programming team and provide instructions for publishing the website designed in Webflow to be hosted in Azure, follow these steps:

  1. Export the code from Webflow:
  • In the Webflow Designer, go to the Project Settings, select the "Hosting" tab.
  • Click on the "Export Site" button.
  • Choose the export options that best suit your needs, such as exporting all pages or only specific ones, including images, fonts, or stylesheets.
  • Click on the "Export" button to download a ZIP file containing the exported code.
  1. Share the Webflow code with your programming team:
  • Extract the downloaded ZIP file to get the entire codebase.
  • Send the extracted files to your programming team using a file-sharing service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or a version control system like Git.
  1. Provide instructions for setting up the website in Azure:
  • Document the hosting and server requirements for your website. This may include specifying the necessary server infrastructure, such as the required operating system, server software, and programming language runtime.
  • Instruct your programming team on how to set up and configure the Azure environment. This involves creating a new Azure Web App, selecting the appropriate server and runtime configurations, and deploying the Webflow code.
  • If any additional services are required, such as a database or CDN, provide instructions for setting them up and integrating them with your website in Azure.
  • Ensure that your programming team is aware of any specific considerations or customizations needed for your website's functionality or integrations with third-party services.

By following these steps and providing comprehensive instructions, you can effectively transfer the Webflow code to your programming team and guide them in publishing the website to be hosted in Azure.
