Tilda export — what gets lost

Tilda's Business tier has an "Export" button. Download HTML/CSS/JS. Idea: leave Tilda, host yourself, keep operating. Reality:

What you actually get:

• HTML for all pages — blocks, text, images.
• CSS — but classes are tied to Tilda block IDs. Hand-editing styles is painful.
• JavaScript — animations, scroll effects work, but no editor.
• Images — yes, downloaded.

What stops working:

• Forms. They submitted to Tilda's backend. After export, they don't submit anywhere. Need your own handler.
• Cart and checkout. If it was a Tilda store, the cart is dead.
• User accounts, login. Same.
• Site search. Was Tilda's index. After export, empty.
• Live editing. No more editor. Changes = edit HTML.

Who can use the export:

• Static landing pages, business cards, simple sites.
• "Set and forget" sites that change once a year.

Who shouldn't:

• Stores or sites with frequently updated content.
• Teams without a developer for ongoing maintenance.
• Sites with auth, accounts, or commerce.
