Static site export

The static export produces a self-contained ZIP archive — one HTML file per page, a compiled stylesheet, and all assets. You can host it on any static server.

Export your site

1. Click the Deploy menu in the topbar.

2. Choose Export code (standard) or Export code (minified) (smaller files, harder to read).

3. A progress modal appears while Swebsy builds your pages and bundles all styles.

4. A ZIP file downloads when the export completes.

Exporting the site as a ZIP archive

Expected result

A ZIP file named <site-title>.zip is downloaded. Unzip it and open index.html in a browser to verify the output.

What’s in the ZIP

site-title/
├── index.html          # homepage
├── about/
│   └── index.html      # additional pages as subfolders
├── assets/
│   ├── style.css       # all your site's styles in one file
│   ├── script.js       # optional custom JS
│   └── ...             # uploaded images and fonts
└── sitemap.xml         # if enabled in Settings → Performance

Host the ZIP

Unzip and upload the contents to any static host:

• Netlify drop: drag the unzipped folder to app.netlify.com
• Cloudflare Pages: use the Cloudflare Pages deploy integration instead for automated uploads
• GitHub Pages: use the GitHub Pages deploy integration instead
• Any server: rsync or FTP the folder contents to your web root

Common issues

Export hangs on large sites — building styles for a large site can take 10–30 seconds. Wait for the progress modal to close before navigating away.

Images missing in the ZIP — only assets that were uploaded via the Swebsy asset manager are bundled. External image URLs (hotlinked) are kept as-is.

Styles look different from the editor — the editor renders styles live; the export bundles them into a static file. If you see differences, try exporting again after saving all changes.
