WordPress to Webflow
Migrate off WordPress
Pages, posts, media and every indexed URL moved into Webflow — with a tested 301 map so Google finds all of it. No plugins to update afterwards. Ever.

The comparison
What WordPress actually costs
WordPress powers a huge share of the web and it is not a bad platform. But a marketing site on WordPress carries an operating cost that has nothing to do with marketing — and that is the cost most teams are actually trying to escape.
Day to day
Webflow
WordPress
Keeping it running
Nothing to update. Webflow patches the platform; you never see it.
Core, theme and plugin updates, each one a small risk of breaking the site.
Security
Managed hosting, SSL and backups included. No login page to brute-force.
Your responsibility. Most breaches come through an out-of-date plugin, not the core.
Speed
Static pages on a global CDN. No database query on page load.
PHP and a database on every request, then a caching plugin to hide it.
Making a change
Edit on the page in the Editor. No staging plugin, no fear of the update button.
Depends entirely on which page builder was used and who set it up.
What it costs monthly
One Webflow plan. No plugin licences, no security service, no backup service.
Hosting plus the licences: builder, forms, security, backups, SEO plugin.
Who can build a new page
Anyone on your team, from Collections and existing components.
Often whoever built it originally, which is often not on your team any more.
When you should stay on WordPress
A large WooCommerce catalogue with complex tax and subscription rules. A mature membership setup with tiered access. A site with fifty custom post types feeding an internal tool. In those cases the honest answer is that migrating costs more than it returns, and we will tell you so in the audit rather than after you have paid a deposit.
Scope
What actually moves
All six are standard, not upsells. If something on your site is not on this list, the audit will name it before you commit.
01
Pages
Every published page rebuilt in Webflow against your existing structure — or a new one, if the old one was the reason you are leaving.
Static pages
02
Posts and categories
The full archive into Webflow CMS. Titles, body content, featured images, excerpts, dates, authors and category assignments all preserved.
CMS collections
03
Media library
Images pulled from wp-content, re-uploaded to Webflow's CDN, converted to modern formats, alt text carried across.
Assets + alt text
04
URLs and redirects
Every indexed URL mapped to its new address and entered as a 301 in Webflow's redirect table before launch, not after.
301 map
05
Forms and integrations
Contact forms, newsletter signups and anything wired to a CRM rebuilt natively or reconnected — Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Mailchimp.
Rebuilt native
06
Metadata and schema
Title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, Open Graph and any JSON-LD your Yoast or RankMath setup was outputting.
SEO carried over
Straight answers
Six things that make a migration harder
Every migration has at least one of these. Naming them in the audit is the difference between a fixed price that holds and a project that grows halfway through.
Plugins with no Webflow equivalent
What we do
There is usually one. We identify it in the audit, before you commit — not in week three. Most are replaced by a native Webflow feature or a small third-party service; a few genuinely have no answer, and we tell you that up front rather than discovering it together later.
WooCommerce with a large catalogue
What we do
Webflow Ecommerce is capable but it is not WooCommerce. Under roughly 200 products with straightforward variants it is usually a good move. Above that, or with subscriptions and complex tax rules, we will tell you to stay put or to look at a headless setup.
Membership and gated content
What we do
Webflow has user accounts, but they are simpler than what a mature WordPress membership plugin does. If your business runs on tiered access, this is the conversation to have before anything else.
Comments
What we do
Webflow has no native commenting. If your posts have active comment threads, they are either archived, moved to a third-party service like Disqus, or dropped. Your call — but it has to be a decision, not a surprise.
Shortcodes and page builders
What we do
Elementor, Divi and WPBakery content does not export cleanly; the database holds layout markup rather than content. This is the single biggest driver of migration cost, and why we quote after seeing the site rather than before.
Anything on a custom post type
What we do
Usually the best part of the migration — custom post types map neatly onto Webflow Collections and usually end up easier to edit than they were. We just need to see them to scope them.
Process
Audit, build, redirect, watch
Six steps, and the first one is free whether or not you go ahead. Your WordPress site stays live and untouched until the last one.
STEP 01
Free migration audit
You send the URL. We crawl it, count the pages and posts, list the plugins doing real work, and pull every indexed URL from your sitemap. You get a written report and a fixed price — whether or not you hire us.
STEP 02
Structure before build
We decide what becomes a Collection and what stays a static page. This is the decision that determines whether your team can publish without us afterwards, so it happens first and you sign off on it.
STEP 03
Content export
Posts, pages, media and metadata pulled out of WordPress and mapped to the new fields. You see the mapping as a sheet before anything is imported.
STEP 04
Build
Pages built on a named class system against your design — existing or new. Staging URL from day one, so you are reviewing as it happens rather than at the end.
STEP 05
The redirect map
Every old URL matched to its new one, loaded into Webflow's redirect table, and tested against a crawl of the live site before we touch DNS. Nothing goes live with an unmapped URL.
STEP 06
Launch and watch
DNS cut over at a quiet hour. Then we watch Search Console for 30 days: coverage, 404s and rankings. If something slipped, we fix it — that window is part of the job, not an add-on.
Pricing
Priced by the size of the site
Page count and post count are what drive the work, so that is what sets the price. Fixed once the audit is done.
