In short

Moving from WordPress to Webflow means rebuilding your design in Webflow, importing content into CMS collections and redirecting every URL that changes. Done right, you keep your rankings and stop worrying about plugin updates, patches and separate hosting.

What moves over

  • Pages and blog posts
  • Images and files
  • Titles, descriptions and schema
  • Forms and tracking

We protect what ranks

Most traffic lost during a migration comes from broken URLs and missing metadata. Both are preventable, so we check them before, during and after the move.

  • A 301 redirect for every changed URL
  • Titles, descriptions and schema carried over
  • Internal links rewritten to the new URLs
  • Daily Search Console monitoring for 30 days

Questions

Will our Google rankings drop?+
No. If redirects, metadata and content are handled properly, you keep your rankings. We map every URL, keep what ranks and monitor Search Console after launch.
What is the cost of a WordPress to Webflow migration?+
The number of page templates, your blog size and the plugins we need to replace set the price. The quote follows a full audit of your current site, so it’s based on what you actually have.
Can you migrate our blog posts automatically?+
Yes. We import your posts, categories and images into Webflow CMS collections, then check them by hand.
Is it possible to keep our current design?+
Yes. We can rebuild it in Webflow as it is, or refresh it during the move.
What if our shop uses WooCommerce?+
We’ll suggest native Webflow ecommerce, Webflow with Foxy, or a custom ecommerce build, based on your products.
Can you migrate a multilingual site?+
Yes. Webflow Localization handles translated pages and hreflang, and we move your existing translations over.
