Migrating from Webflow

Webflow Gave You Design Freedom. It Also Locked You In.

Webflow is a powerful design tool, but leaving it means rebuilding. We take your public site and recreate it as a hand-written Next.js site you own outright: the same design, better performance, full schema, and no platform subscription.

No account access needed until launch day.

A beautiful site that can't leave the garden.

Webflow's visual designer is why you chose it. The problem starts when you want to grow beyond it.

  • E-commerce, memberships, CMS collections, and complex interactions don't export to another host - leaving means rebuilding from scratch
  • Even static HTML exports strip out the CMS and e-commerce logic
  • Animations and interactions built in Webflow's designer often break outside Webflow's hosted environment
  • The hosting bill never goes away: rent for a site you designed yourself
  • The honest path: a controlled rebuild on infrastructure you own - design and content recreated, redirect maps and analytics continuity included, a codebase that grows without platform limits

The Webflow Ceiling

Documented platform limitations, researched August 2026. None of these are fixable from inside Webflow.

CMS content doesn't export cleanly

Webflow's CMS collections can be downloaded as CSV, but the templates, relationships, and dynamic routing have to be rebuilt. A real migration means re-engineering the content architecture in code.

E-commerce and memberships can't leave

Webflow's native e-commerce, user accounts, and membership features are locked to Webflow hosting. Moving them requires replacing the entire commerce layer with owned tools.

Designer animations break outside Webflow

Interactions and animations authored in Webflow's visual designer rely on Webflow's runtime. Exported static sites often lose motion behavior or require a full reimplementation.

No custom serverless or AI tooling

A Webflow site can't run custom AI visualizers, calculators, or lead pipelines that need serverless functions. An owned Next.js codebase makes these just part of the site.

Platform hosting is forever

You keep paying Webflow's hosting and CMS plan for as long as the site lives. Owned static hosting on Vercel is typically free to a few dollars a month, with no per-site platform tax.

Editor dependency

Every layout change, new page, or CMS schema update requires the Webflow designer. A Next.js codebase with a proper design system can be extended by any competent developer.

How We Clone Your Site, Without Your Password

Your public website is the blueprint. We never need your Webflow login. At cutover, your domain registrar login comes through the encrypted portal vault, once.

  1. 1

    We crawl your public website

    Everything we need is already public: every page, image, font, color, and behavior is captured with browser automation, the same way a visitor's browser sees it. No login or admin access required; when a credential is needed later, you share it through the encrypted portal vault.

  2. 2

    Pixel-faithful rebuild into your own GitHub repo

    Your site is rebuilt page-by-page as a hand-written Next.js codebase in a private GitHub repository that belongs to you. Faithful replica or full redesign, your call. Rip City Construction was a 17-page pixel-faithful replica; Bathroom Surface Solutions was a 52-page rebuild.

  3. 3

    SEO remediation and full schema stack

    The rebuild fixes what the platform couldn't: complete LocalBusiness and Service schema, canonical architecture, duplicate-content cleanup, and redirect maps. Analytics continuity and before/after measurement document the cutover. Your Google reviews stay on your Business Profile, which we reconnect to the new site. Future search positions are not guaranteed.

  4. 4

    Deployed on Vercel, then DNS cutover

    The finished site deploys to Vercel's global edge network and you review a live preview first. At cutover you share your domain registrar login once, through the encrypted portal vault. Zero downtime.

Where Your New Site Lives

Every migration lands on Vercel, the infrastructure built by the makers of Next.js. What that buys you:

Nothing to hack

A static site has no server-side code, no database, and no plugins: the three things virtually every hacked small-business site gets breached through. There is no WordPress admin panel to brute-force because there is no admin panel.

Nothing to patch

No plugin updates, no PHP version upgrades, no theme conflicts, no maintenance retainer just to keep the site alive. The code that ships is the code that runs, unchanged, until you ask for a change.

Speed measured at the edge

Every page is prerendered and served from Vercel's global CDN, milliseconds from your customer. Fast pages feed Core Web Vitals, which Google uses as a ranking signal, and they convert better on phones.

Latest eligible publish undo

The latest eligible publish can be undone in the portal only when no newer conflicting change exists. This restores that publish's files, not arbitrary history.

Preview every change

Every edit gets its own unlisted preview URL before it touches your live site. You approve changes by looking at them, not by hoping.

Enterprise defaults, small-business price

Automatic HTTPS, DDoS protection, and global failover come standard on Vercel. Hosting for a typical client site runs free to a few dollars a month, not a $30+ builder subscription forever.

Every Webflow migration starts with a free visibility scan of your current site.

You own 100% of everything.

The code, the content, the design, the domain, the hosting account. If you ever walk away, everything walks with you. No rental websites, no hostage platforms, no “you can’t take it with you.” Period.

How we price

We price like contractors, not consultants: a fixed scope at a fixed price, in writing, before work begins. Half upfront, half at launch.

The price depends on page count and whether you want a faithful replica or a full redesign, which is exactly what the free audit determines. After launch, hosting typically runs free to a few dollars a month: no builder subscription, no maintenance retainer.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price
  • In writing before work
  • No open-ended retainers

Straight Answers

Yes. We rebuild from your public site, so every visual detail is captured and recreated in code. Beatrox moved off Squarespace with its full cinematic design intact; the same process applies to Webflow.

We export what Webflow allows and re-engineer the content architecture in your new codebase. Collection pages become real pages, relationships become clean data models, and you approve the structure before launch.

Not to start. Everything on your public Webflow site is captured from the outside, the same way any visitor's browser sees it. When we do need a login, like your domain registrar at launch, you share it through the encrypted portal vault, never by email or text.

Future search positions cannot be guaranteed. The migration includes redirect maps, analytics continuity, structured data, and before/after measurement. Existing Google reviews stay on your Business Profile, and we reconnect that profile to the new site.

Yes. Rip City Construction was a pixel-faithful replica of their old site with the technical foundation rebuilt underneath. Faithful replica or full redesign, your call, and you review everything on an unlisted preview before it goes live.

You do: the code in your own GitHub repo, the content, the domain, the hosting account. If you ever leave, everything goes with you. No hostage situations, no rental websites.

A fixed scope at a fixed price, in writing, before work begins. Half upfront, half at launch. After that, hosting typically runs free to a few dollars a month instead of a builder subscription.
