Hi,

Trying to follow the tutorial for generating the HTML interface but two things are no longer included in the Webflow free plan:
- Embed element (which I was planning to edit into an embed link later manually, so not a big deal)
- Exporting Code (see screenshot) – this makes the current Webflow workflow completely unusable without a paid account, unless I’m missing something?
\

What alternative(s) do you suggest for creating HTML/CSS visually that works with your product?

Thanks in advance.

Hi mj,

Indeed those 2 features that are critical for creating HTML-based UI are only available to paid Webflow customers. The fee is low however. You can also use any other visual HTML editor (most of them are also paid though), or create UI using some programming framework which are plentiful, e.g. Bootstrap.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Yes, it is what it is, as you say. My html/css is rusty, but AI has been helpful in filling in the gaps.
I’ll suggest a similar web app I found for anyone else struggling with this called teleporthq. Very intuitive and customizable (Figma plugin also) – I found it to be a quick way to create a solid starting UI.
Finally, might I suggest updating the Youtube tutorial videos and documentation that mention Webflow in light of their new policies? It was especially painful to go through the process and hit an upsell paywall when attempting to export simple html (not a great UX on their part…not inclined to give them any money now, despite the low cost), but it’s your call, of course!

Keep up the good work. Best,
-mj
