We spent years building in Webflow and now build every visual site in Framer. It does everything Webflow does, costs less, loads faster, and marketing can't break it.
Why migrate
Collections, references, and localisation cover everything a marketing or content site needs, so nothing is lost in the move.
In our experience, Framer often comes in at around half the cost of Webflow for enterprise sites, with fewer add-ons to buy.
Framer sites are fast by default, so strong Core Web Vitals don't take a separate optimisation project.
The features teams need to work safely together aren't held back for an enterprise tier.
Claude connects to Framer natively, and Framer's own agents build alongside it, so pages ship faster while marketing keeps visual control.
Design and publish in one place, on a canvas that behaves like a design tool, with native interactions instead of an interactions panel.
No combo-class strategy to document, no naming convention to enforce, no inherited class soup to unpick.
Marketing updates pages through components and the CMS, so layouts hold. Teams that found Webflow intimidating tend to publish confidently in Framer within a week.
We're an official Framer Expert Partner, so you're not paying anyone to learn the platform on your project.
Honest assessment
For marketing and content sites, Framer beats Webflow on every count that matters. The only real question is whether your site needs a visual builder at all.
Once content has moved and redirects are live there's usually no reason to keep the Webflow site running, the plan gets cancelled and the project archived.
If a large blog archive would be expensive to move, we'll sometimes leave it in place on a subdomain and migrate the marketing pages first.
Publishing experience
The real difference isn't a feature list. It's how long it takes your team to get a new page live.
Edit copy, swap images, and launch new pages on the live site without a developer or a deploy step.
Reusable components and styles keep new pages consistent without anyone memorising a naming convention.
Blog posts, case studies, careers, and resources handled as structured collections.
Architecture
Integrations (CRM, forms, analytics, chat, scheduling) connect natively or through a small amount of well-scoped custom code.
Process
Every collection, template, symbol, interaction, custom code embed, and redirect in the current Webflow project gets catalogued.
Webflow collections are mapped to Framer CMS collections, with anything that doesn't fit flagged early rather than discovered late.
Existing design translated into a Framer component library, or refreshed if that's what the project calls for.
Framer build, component library, CMS collections, and scripted content migration with a reconciliation pass.
Redirect testing, Core Web Vitals, accessibility audit, form and analytics verification, and a full content diff.
Staged DNS cutover, then Search Console, crawl errors, and vitals watched closely for the first weeks.
Content migration
Webflow CMS collections are exported via the API, including reference and multi-reference fields the CSV export flattens or drops.
Static pages are rebuilt as Framer components, with styles becoming shared tokens instead of per-element overrides.
The asset library is migrated and re-referenced, with Framer handling optimisation and responsive variants from there.
An automated diff compares every source URL against its destination so nothing is quietly lost in transit.
SEO & redirects
Every indexed URL is pulled from Search Console, analytics, the sitemap, and a fresh crawl, not just the ones the CMS knows about.
A one-to-one 301 redirect map, built and tested against the live inventory before launch.
Titles, descriptions, canonicals, Open Graph, and structured data carried across and diffed page by page.
Sitemaps, robots, and internal linking rebuilt, then submitted and monitored through Search Console after cutover.
Rankings, crawl errors, redirect hits, and Core Web Vitals monitored for the first weeks, with fixes shipped fast.

Leaving Webflow? Framer matches its CMS, loads faster, is easier for marketing to edit, and is often around half the enterprise cost. See when Astro fits better instead.

Yes. Framer matches Webflow's CMS, loads faster, is easier for marketing to edit safely, works natively with Claude and AI agents, and in our experience is often around half the cost for enterprise sites. If your site needs a coded stack, we'll say so and point you at Astro instead.
Yes. Collections, references, and localisation cover everything a marketing or content site needs. Reference and multi-reference fields map across during the migration.
Usually. For enterprise sites it's often around half the cost in our experience, and features like branching aren't reserved for an enterprise contract.
Not if the redirect map, metadata, and internal linking are handled properly. Framer handles technical SEO well; the risk in any migration is redirect work, and that's on us.
Most map cleanly onto Framer's native effects, and several become simpler. Anything genuinely custom gets rebuilt as a code component.
Yes. Migrating as-is is a legitimate choice, and often the right one when the design is working and the workflow isn't.
A typical marketing site is four to seven weeks including content migration. Add three to six if you're redesigning at the same time.
Then you migrate again, and it's a much easier move from a component-based site than from a class-based one. We'd also tell you upfront if we thought that was likely.
