Can I publish my edited version of a Webflow template to my website without any additional fees if I already have a web domain and hosting? Will I encounter any issues with the single-use license if I export the edited version to HTML/CSS/Javascript code to add backend features and update future versions of my website?

You can use a purchased Webflow template to design and publish a site, but there are important restrictions if you export the project outside of Webflow or modify it for future sites. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Template Licensing for Single Use

• Webflow templates come with a single-use license. This means you’re allowed to use the template for one end project (i.e., one website for one client or your own business).
• Once used for that project, you cannot reuse the same template for different websites, even if they are versions of the same concept or business.
• You can edit or modify the template as much as needed for that one project, including design and structure.

2. Exporting Code From Webflow

• Webflow allows code export of HTML, CSS, JS, and assets only if you’re on a paid plan that supports exporting (usually the Account plan).
• Once exported, you can host the project yourself on an external server without paying monthly hosting to Webflow.
• Webflow CMS features and dynamic content will not be included in the export—it’s purely static files.

3. Adding Backend Features to Exported Code

• You are allowed to add backend features (e.g., PHP, Node.js, or database connections) after exporting.
• This doesn’t violate the license as long as it’s still the same single project.
• Keep in mind, once you export, you lose Webflow’s built-in CMS, forms, and editor features, so you must replace or rebuild those systems manually.

4. Future Versions and Updates

• If future versions of your site are updates to the same project, and not entirely new websites for different businesses or clients, then you're within the license.
• You cannot export the template again and use it as a base for a second unrelated project without purchasing a second license.

5. Hosting Considerations

• If you're not using Webflow Hosting, you don’t need to pay Webflow monthly hosting fees.
• Exported sites can be hosted on your own infrastructure with no ongoing payments to Webflow (aside from the template cost and export plan, if applicable).

Summary

You can publish and host an edited Webflow template without additional fees if you export the code with a paid plan and use it for a single project only. You're allowed to modify the code, add backend functionality, and update the site over time—as long as it remains the same single project, you're complying with the license.
