Sometimes you need to move ownership of your website. Maybe someone new is taking over. Maybe the business has changed hands. Or maybe you just want to tidy up who’s listed as the main account holder.
Whatever the reason, here’s how to transfer ownership the right way.
What “ownership” means in Webflow
Every Webflow site lives inside a Workspace. The Workspace owner controls:
- Billing and subscriptions
- Access to projects
- Workspace settings and permissions
- User roles and invites
Transferring ownership means giving someone else that top-level access, either for the whole Workspace or for a specific site.
Option 1: Transfer the whole Workspace
Best for handing over everything. This includes the site, billing, permissions, and control.
- Go to Workspace Settings in Webflow
- Click on the Members tab
- Invite the new owner (if not already listed)
- Change their role to Owner
- You’ll automatically be downgraded to an admin or editor
This puts them in charge of the entire Workspace.
Option 2: Move the site to a new Workspace
Best for splitting one site from a shared Workspace.
- The new owner creates their own Webflow Workspace
- You (or we) transfer the site to their Workspace
- They accept the transfer and take over billing

Other platforms
If you’re transferring ownership of other tools like domains, Google Analytics, or ad accounts, the process will vary:
- Google Analytics / Tag Manager: Add new admin, then remove old admin
- Meta Business Manager: Add as a Business Admin, assign assets, then remove yourself
- Domain Registrars: Change the registered contact and login email
- Drive or Dropbox: Transfer folder ownership before removing access
We’re happy to help if you’re not sure how to do this or want to double-check before you remove anyone.
Keep a record
Once you’ve transferred ownership, it’s worth documenting:
- Who now owns what
- When the transfer happened
- What logins or payment details were changed
It saves future headaches.
