Export Your GoHighLevel Website (Even Though GHL Says You Can't)
GoHighLevel's own documentation says export is not supported. That is true, and it is not the whole picture. Here is what actually comes out, what does not, and how to put the result live on hosting you own.
What GoHighLevel officially says
GoHighLevel publishes a support article called “Can HighLevel Websites Be Exported?”. The answer it gives is No. There is no supported export, there is no 1:1 export, and HTML copied out by hand is unsupported, is not editable in their builder afterwards, and depends on the original GoHighLevel location staying active. The only method the article suggests is right-click, View Page Source.
Take that at face value. It is accurate, it is their product, and they are entitled to describe it. It is also answering a narrower question than the one most people are asking. Agencies are not asking to keep editing in GHL's builder somewhere else. They are asking whether the client ends up with a working website.
What actually exports, and what doesn't
This is the part every tool in this market is vague about, so here it is plainly. A GHL site is a rendered front end sitting on top of a platform. The front end moves. The platform does not.
| Part of your site | Comes with you? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| The rendered front end — pages, layout, copy, images, fonts | Yes | Comes out as a clean project you can host anywhere. |
| CRM records and contacts | No | Stay in GoHighLevel. Export them separately from inside the platform. |
| Workflows and automations | No | Do not come with the site. They have to be rebuilt on whatever you move to. |
| Form and survey backends | No | The form markup comes across; the thing that receives a submission does not. It needs repointing at a new service. |
| Calendars, payments and checkout | No | Platform features, not page content. Reconnect them to new providers. |
| Editing inside GHL's builder afterwards | No | An exported site is edited as files, not in the builder it came from. GoHighLevel's own support article says the same. |
If a page, a video or a sales page tells you otherwise, it is selling you something. Plan the rebuild of the parts that do not move before you start, not after.
The three routes out
View Page Source. Free, and GoHighLevel's own suggestion. It gets you the HTML of one page at a time, without the assets wired up, and you rebuild the rest by hand. Fine for one page. Not a migration.
A ZIP exporter. A browser extension pulls the rendered pages and assets into a folder. Faster and far more complete — but the output is a folder. You still have to host it. ExportGHL's own FAQ walks you through installing Python and running a local server just to preview what you exported.
Export and deploy. The same pull, followed by a publish step: the project goes into a GitHub repository you own and Cloudflare Pages serves it on your domain. That is what Hatch does, and it is the only one of the three that ends with a URL rather than a download.
Step by step with Hatch
- Open the site in GoHighLevel and run the Hatch extension. It pulls the front end into a clean project ZIP, in your browser, on your machine.
- Open the wizard and connect your own GitHub account. The project is pushed into a repository in your name.
- Connect your own Cloudflare account. The wizard creates a Pages project and publishes the site.
- Point your domain at it, and repoint any forms at a service that will receive them.
Nothing is stored on our servers at any point. The files go from your browser to your accounts, and the site keeps running whether or not you carry on using Hatch.
Common questions
Will the exported site still be editable in GHL? No. GoHighLevel's article is right about that. An exported site is edited as files.
Do my forms keep working? The markup comes across; the backend that receives a submission does not. Point them at a new handler before you switch the domain.
Does this work for AI Studio sites and funnels? Yes — those have their own guides, linked below.
What does it cost to host afterwards? Cloudflare Pages has a free tier that covers a normal marketing site. The hosting bill is between you and Cloudflare; we are not in the middle of it.
Get your site out and live on hosting you own.
