If someone has an actual business, $30 per month for a CMS site plan shouldn't even be an expense worth talking about. The problem I will say though, is when you exceed the limits of that plan and have to have the conversation about "EnTerPriSE".. at that point the price gets outrageous. More on reddit.com

For #3: I don't think you even need a pro plan to export your code, especially if you're not using forms. Export will provide HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Assets in a zip file. Uploading a static site to Cloudflare is as simple as uploading that folder structure. More on reddit.com

There's domain, hosting and custom emails. First you need a domain name. That you can get with GoDaddy for example. Then you need to host your website. Webflow does that. Additionally, you can have custom emails. That can be done when you have a domain name. You can use Google Workplace for it for example. So, I don't know how your client is getting their custom emails. You have to figure out with them. But if it's with a service like Google or Zoho or whatever equivalent thing, then it won't change anything if you host their website on Webflow. It's separated. Also, if you develop on Webflow then know that it's a pain to not host on Webflow as well. If you export the code then you can host wherever you want but won't have access to all the Webflow features like the CMS, the forms, the editor... It's just the way it is. Your clients must be willing to host on Webflow, if they don't, then it's honestly not worth it to develop on Webflow for them. Typically, I'll say that domain name is purchased from Go Daddy or Google domains, then custom emails from Google Workplace, then website developed and hosted on Webflow. If your client doesn't want that then you're headed for some headache, ngl. More on reddit.com

You can indeed add a hosting plan to any site in your workspace. The Freelancer Workspace plan lets you have up to 10 websites on a staging domain, so you could have, say, your own website, a 'testing' website for learning, and be working on 8 client websites. Then each time you add one of these to a paid plan, they no longer count towards this 10 site limit. Eventually you will likely want the Agency Workspace plan to have unlimited staging websites on your account. The 'Core' plan is not needed alongside Freelancer or Agency plan, it's just a different kind of Workspace plan under 'In-House' teams and is frankly just confusing! So you will pay for Freelancer/Agency Workspace plan, then pay for site plans as neede.d Hope that helps! More on reddit.com
