Webflow to WordPress migration
LEAVE WEBFLOW WITHOUT LOSING YOUR DESIGN OR YOUR CMS
Every page pixel matched. Every CMS collection rebuilt as a WordPress custom post type. Every indexed URL redirected once, cleanly. On infrastructure you actually own.
Migration risk check
Question 1 of 3
What are you moving from?
The starting point sets what usually breaks and how careful the redirect map has to be.
The short answer
A Webflow to WordPress migration moves your entire site off Webflow onto self hosted WordPress. Static pages are rebuilt pixel matched in a fast WordPress theme. Each Webflow CMS collection becomes a WordPress custom post type with the same fields. Every indexed URL gets a single clean 301, so Google keeps sending traffic. Standard sites start at $1,499. Sites with heavy CMS, memberships, or ecommerce start at $2,999. Fixed quote, written SEO safety plan, 30 day rollback.
Why owners leave Webflow
Webflow ships beautiful sites and then charges every month to keep them online. Somewhere between the second CMS plan bump and the third editor seat, the math stops working.
Hosting is locked to Webflow
You cannot self host a Webflow site. Site plans, CMS plans, and business plans all bill monthly, and prices climb the moment traffic or CMS items grow.
Editor access costs extra seats
Every teammate who edits content is a paid Webflow seat. WordPress ships unlimited editor and author roles at no extra cost.
CMS item limits get expensive
Webflow CMS caps items per site. Growing a blog, portfolio, or resource library forces plan upgrades. WordPress has no CMS item ceiling.
Plugins and integrations are limited
Anything outside Webflow's built ins needs custom code or third party embeds. WordPress has a plugin for almost every business workflow, most of them free.
What actually moves across
Not a copy paste. A structured rebuild that keeps design, data structure, URLs, and visitor experience intact.
Every static page, pixel matched
Home, about, services, contact and every one off page rebuilt in a fast WordPress theme so visitors see the same design on infrastructure you own.
CMS collections become custom post types
Blog, case studies, team, portfolio, jobs. Each Webflow CMS collection is rebuilt as a WordPress custom post type with the same fields and relationships.
Blog posts, authors, categories
Full editorial history moves across with author, date, tags, categories, and featured images preserved as native WordPress posts.
Images, video, and Lottie assets
Media pulled from Webflow's CDN, re uploaded to WordPress media, and re linked. Interactions and Lottie files rebuilt in GSAP or native WordPress equivalents.
Forms and CRM integrations
Webflow Forms rebuilt in Gravity Forms or Fluent Forms. HubSpot, Mailchimp, and Zapier hooks rewired so leads keep landing in the same inbox.
Clean 301 for every indexed URL
Webflow's slug system is preserved where possible, and every legacy URL that has changed gets a single permanent 301 to its new WordPress destination.
SEO safety, in six locked steps
Ranking loss is the number one fear owners raise. Every Webflow to WordPress move we run passes through these six checkpoints before it goes live.
Full URL map before we touch anything
We crawl the live Webflow site, export every indexed URL from Search Console, and match each to its WordPress destination, collections included.
One clean 301 per URL, no chains
Every page, blog post, and CMS item URL gets a single permanent redirect. No 302s, no loops, no soft 404s.
Canonicals, sitemaps, and robots re-checked
Canonical tags, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, and schema are re audited on WordPress so Google sees consistent signals from day one.
Search Console + Bing warmed on the new stack
We resubmit sitemaps, request indexing on top pages, and monitor coverage for 30 days.
Ranking baseline, then 30 day comparison
Top 100 keywords snapshotted the day before cutover and compared weekly for a month. Written report at day 30.
No ranking loss guarantee, in writing
If organic traffic falls more than 10 percent inside 30 days from causes we control, we roll back or refund.
How we run it
- 1
Audit and export
We crawl every Webflow page and export each CMS collection as CSV. Interactions, animations, and custom code are catalogued so nothing gets missed.
- 2
Stage WordPress privately
New site built on staging with a fast theme (Blocksy, Kadence, or GeneratePress) and a pixel matched rebuild of your Webflow design.
- 3
Rebuild CMS as custom post types
Each Webflow collection becomes a WordPress CPT with matching fields via ACF or Meta Box. Data imported, relationships preserved.
- 4
SEO safety pass
URL map validated, 301s tested, sitemaps and robots re-audited, schema verified. Ranking baseline captured.
- 5
Cutover with rollback ready
DNS switch during your quietest hour. Webflow subscription stays paid for 30 days so a rollback is one click away.
- 6
30 day watch
We monitor coverage, rankings, forms, and errors for a month after cutover.

Common questions
Will my Webflow design survive the move?+
Yes. We rebuild the design pixel by pixel in a fast WordPress theme, matching typography, spacing, breakpoints, and interactions. Visitors see the same site, on infrastructure you own.
How do CMS collections move to WordPress?+
Each Webflow CMS collection becomes a WordPress custom post type. We use ACF or Meta Box to recreate the same fields, then import your CSV export. Reference fields between collections are preserved.
Will my Google rankings survive?+
Yes. Every indexed Webflow URL gets a single clean 301 to its WordPress equivalent. Canonicals, sitemaps, and schema are re audited on the new stack. Every quote includes a written no ranking loss guarantee.
What about Webflow interactions and animations?+
Most interactions are rebuilt in GSAP or native CSS on WordPress. Lottie files come across as is. Anything that cannot be rebuilt 1 to 1 is flagged before the quote is signed, never after.
Can I keep the same domain?+
Yes. Domain stays yours. If it was registered through Webflow we transfer it or update nameservers. Email keeps working through the whole move.
How long does the move take?+
Typical Webflow to WordPress migration takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on page count, CMS complexity, and interaction volume. Timeline is agreed in writing before we start.
How much does it cost?+
Webflow to WordPress migrations start at $1,499 for a brochure or content site and $2,999 for a site with heavy CMS collections, memberships, or ecommerce. Fixed quote, no hourly surprises.
