Exporting your design for CMS allows you to easily host your design as a live file using an iframe export, or as an offline file using a generic HTML5 ZIP. Learn more about Offline vs Live File here: Offline Files vs Live Files
If you plan to serve your design using an ad server or DSP, such as Google Campaign Manager or Google Ad Manager, you'll need to export your designs for that ad server or DSP, rather than for CMS. For more information, check out our article on Exporting for Ad Servers / DSPs.
Publishing Designs Before Exporting
Before exporting your design from Flexitive, you will need to Publish your design. Publishing your design will automatically save your design and update any live files of the design exported from Flexitive. Learn more about Publishing your Design.
Choose Offline or Live Files
To export your Flexitive Design as HTML5 for CMS, go to the Export panel and select the ‘CMS’ tab. Then, choose between exporting Offline or Live Files.
Offline Files
Exporting a design as an Offline ZIP file will provide you with a ZIP file containing each size you have chosen to export. The exported designs include all the images and code necessary for hosting the design and are cropped and compressed to their lowest possible file size.
Live Files
When you export a Live file for CMS, you will receive an excel document with the script for an iframe. You can then copy and paste directly into the HTML for your site.
Live file exports for CMS allow you to host designs in the same way as the design below. They will use any clickthrough, animation, or hover state settings that you set in Flexitive.
Designs exported as iframes for CMS are hosted on the Flexitive servers, so serving fees will apply.
Select a CMS Platform
After you choose to export for CMS, you’ll be able to select which CMS platform you would like to export for.
In Flexitive, we support exporting for the following CMS programs, although exports may work with other platforms as well:
Only one CMS platform may be chosen per export. If you require exports for multiple CMS platforms, you will need to separately export for each CMS platform you need.
If you need to export for a CMS platform that isn't listed, contact a member of the Flexitive Support team at support@flexitive.com. You can also try exporting your design for a 'Custom Site', as the files you receive when exporting for a Custom Site will work for most CMS platforms.
Set Export Properties
Once you've chosen a CMS platform to export for, you will be able to set properties for your design. Offline and Live files have different export properties. i.e Live Files only have the ‘Add 1-pixel border’ option’.
