Why HTML Export Matters for AI Website Builders
Many AI website builders generate impressive-looking pages, but what happens when you need to move your site? If the answer is "you can't," that's a problem.
The Lock-In Trap
Proprietary website builders store your design in formats that only work within their ecosystem. Want to move to a different platform? You'll have to rebuild from scratch. This lock-in might not matter on day one, but it becomes a serious liability as your business grows.
Why HTML Export Changes Everything
When an AI builder exports clean HTML, you get:
- Full ownership — The code is yours. Host it anywhere, modify it freely, integrate it into any stack.
- No vendor dependency — If you outgrow the builder or it shuts down, your website lives on.
- Developer-friendly — Clean HTML integrates seamlessly into React, Next.js, Vue, or any framework.
- Performance — Static HTML loads faster than any proprietary runtime.
How Genesis AI Handles Export
Every page you create in Genesis AI is built on clean, semantic HTML with Tailwind CSS utility classes. When you export, you get exactly what you see in the editor — no wrapper scripts, no tracking code, no dependencies on our platform.
Pro users also get access to Figma export, React component export, and full site file downloads including assets and stylesheets.
The Bottom Line
An AI website builder should empower you, not trap you. HTML export ensures that the work you create with AI is truly yours — today and in the future.
