EnglishWhat to Check Before Starting a Site on Relume
Updated
Relume is a good fit if you need a simple marketing site and want to start without committing to a paid plan: the site says it's free to start, and pricing or upgrades are handled through the Pricing page and account plan page. Before you begin, decide whether you'll publish on Relume or export to Figma, Webflow, or React, because that choice determines who handles hosting, domains, and ongoing maintenance. Also verify the security and compliance details that matter for your client or company, since Relume lists SOC 2 compliance as pending.
Decide first: publish on Relume or export
Both paths start from the same component system, so the design foundation is identical. The difference is where the finished site lives and who maintains it.
| Question | Publish with Relume | Export to Figma, Webflow, or React |
|---|---|---|
| Who hosts the site | Relume | You or your client's existing stack |
| Custom domain and SSL | Handled by Relume | Configured in your own tools |
| What you receive | A live site on Relume | Clean client-first Webflow classes, editable Figma auto-layout with variables and variants, or React with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui |
| Ongoing updates | Components improve across sites after launch | You manage updates yourself |
| Best for | Freelancers and agencies shipping simple marketing sites quickly | Teams with an established Webflow, Figma, or React workflow |
If you choose export, plan for maintenance responsibility up front. The exported files are yours to keep current, and improvements Relume makes to its component system won't automatically reach an exported site.
What publishing on Relume includes
According to the site, publishing covers the infrastructure most small marketing sites need:
- Custom domain and SSL handled within Relume
- A global edge network with sub-second load times
- DDoS protection and enterprise security features
- A 99.99% uptime SLO with auto-scaling for traffic spikes
One claim to verify yourself: SOC 2 compliance is marked "pending" on the page. If your client or employer requires a completed SOC 2 report, confirm the current status before committing.
How the build actually works
Relume's AI doesn't write raw code. It selects from human-built, responsive components and assembles them into a site, which the company says avoids hallucinated layouts. You can start from an old website, a document, or a few notes. The result is intended to be publishable by default rather than a rough draft.
A practical example: a freelancer pastes in a client's existing site copy and a short brief, generates a marketing site, reviews the assembled sections, then either publishes to a custom domain or exports to Webflow for a client who insists on owning the codebase.
Pre-launch checklist
- Confirm the plan and cost. Start free, then check the Pricing page before you rely on paid features. The site doesn't state which features sit behind a paid tier, so verify before promising a client anything.
- Choose your path. Publish on Relume for speed and managed hosting; export if the client needs the site in their own Figma, Webflow, or React environment.
- Check compliance needs. If SOC 2 or specific security attestations are required, confirm the current status rather than assuming it's complete.
- Plan post-launch ownership. On Relume, improvements arrive automatically. After export, updates are your responsibility.
- Test the output. Review responsiveness and accessibility on the generated site before going live, especially if you're handing it to a client.
The main decision is hosting versus ownership. Pick Relume publishing for the fastest route to a live marketing site; pick export when the client's stack or long-term control requires it.
