Pro feature. Download a portable static-HTML copy of your entire site. Useful for archiving, self-hosting, taking content with you if you ever leave FacultyDex, or handing a frozen snapshot to your university IT.
Generating an export
- From the dashboard, open Tools → HTML export.
- Click Generate export. We snapshot your live site and zip it up. Most sites take 10-30 seconds.
- Click Download when the export is ready. You'll get a
.zipfile with your subdomain in the filename.
What's in the zip
- One HTML file per page (homepage, research, publications, team, news, every custom page).
- An
assets/folder with all your photos, the CSS, and any web fonts. - A
data/folder with JSON of your raw content (publications, lab members, etc.) for portability. - A README explaining the directory structure.
Hosting the export elsewhere
The export is plain static HTML — drop it into any static host (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, S3, your university's web server). It works without any server-side runtime. Internal links use relative paths so it'll work at any URL.
What's not in the export
- Account-level data (your subscription state, sign-in records).
- Pending autofetch items waiting for approval — only approved/published content.
- Drafts — only the live state of every page.
If you need a comprehensive copy of everything in your account including drafts, see Export your data instead.
Update cadence
Each export is a frozen snapshot. To get an updated copy, re-generate. We don't currently offer a scheduled or automated export — let us know if you want it.
