How I Built a Website Code Exporter That Handles Framer Animations, Webflow IX2, and Wix's 3MB Runtime

I built NoCodeExport — a tool that takes any site built on Framer, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress and exports it to clean, self-hostable HTML/CSS/JS files. This post covers the hard technical problems I ran into and how I solved them. If you've ever tried to scrape a modern SPA or reverse-engineer a no-code platform's output, you'll relate. The Problem No-code platforms are great for building sites fast. But they lock you into their hosting. A simple portfolio on Squarespace costs $192/year . A Framer site with a custom domain runs $150/year . Multiply that by 5–10 client sites and you're paying serious money for what is essentially static content. The "just right-click → Save As" approach doesn't work on modern sites: Framer renders everything through React — the raw HTML is a hydration shell, not a usable page. Wix ships a 3MB JavaScript runtime just to display text and images. Webflow's IX2 animations die the moment you move the files off their CDN. I wanted a tool that pro
