Limitations of exporting webflow to netlify

Hi Starting of with Webflow and to improve my skills I want to create pro bono design for small local businesses but not all of these clients are gonna be okay with paying the Webflow hosting so looking in to using Netlify are there any limitations I should take in to account such as using custom code blocks or in page code?

Using Netlify for hosting Webflow sites can be cost-effective, but it comes with limitations such as the lack of CMS support, form submission functionality, and native site search. Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will work, but Webflow-specific interactions may not. For e-commerce, you’ll need third-party integrations like Stripe or Snipcart, and content updates will require manual re-exporting and redeploying. Additionally, Netlify’s free tier has limits on bandwidth and deploys. To overcome these challenges, you can use third-party tools like Formspree for forms, Algolia for search, and a headless CMS for dynamic content management.
