How publishing works

```plain
your-site/
  content/
    collections/pages/home.md
    collections/pages/about.md
    design/tokens.json
    forms/contact.json
  config/site.yaml
  public/
    index.html
    about/index.html
    media/
```

“Dynamic content must be exported on a collection-by-collection basis and forms will stop working.”

Webflow, on hosting a site elsewhere. [Pricing FAQ](https://webflow.com/pricing)

## No plan to outgrow.

It’s free on every site.
