As Bob says, it's a one-step process as ID has an HTML export option that is both surprisingly good and annoyingly limited. Simple layouts export quite well, but it doesn't take too much composition trickery to start getting broken and distorted layouts.

There is a high-powered HTML conversion tool, In5, but it's quite costly, especially on a group or enterprise level. If your need is sufficient and budget allows it, you might look into it.

With some HTML/CSS knowledge, you can touch up HTML exports quite a lot with modest effort, just tweaking font sizes and spacing. However, ID currently has a nasty glitch that writes the user CSS file to the output ahead of the default one... meaning that nearly all user changes are reverted to default. (I am working on an HTML project right now, and have to open every single export file and use a macro to swap the two CSS file declarations.)

But the short answer is "Yes, within certain limitations." Give it a try and you may find a happy balance between your ID layouts for their primary purpose and tweaking to import to a CRM platform.
