How I Help Businesses Migrate from WordPress to Webflow

"We love our website content, but updating it feels like a chore. Is there a smoother way to manage it?"

That’s a question I’ve been hearing more often over the past three years as a Webflow developer. Many of these businesses are running on WordPress and are happy with their brand and messaging — but they want a platform that’s easier to manage, faster to load, and more flexible for design.

That’s where migrating to Webflow comes in. The migration isn’t about “ditching” WordPress — it’s about moving to a platform that better fits their current needs. And here’s how I usually guide them through it.

Step 1: Understanding Your Current Site

Before making any changes, I take a close look at your WordPress site:

• What pages and content you have
• How the navigation is structured
• Which features are essential for your business
  This helps make sure nothing important gets lost during the move.

Step 2: Planning the Webflow Build

Once I know exactly what’s in place, we plan how it will live inside Webflow.
This is where we:

• Map out the site structure
• Decide on any design updates or improvements
• Identify features that Webflow can handle natively (so you won’t need as many add-ons)

Step 3: Rebuilding in Webflow

Instead of doing a “copy and paste” migration, I rebuild the site in Webflow from the ground up. This ensures:

• Clean, optimised code
• Fully responsive design
• Freedom to make your site look exactly how you want (not just how a theme allows)

Step 4: Transferring Content

Your text, images, blog posts, and other content are carefully moved over.
In Webflow, we set up the CMS so you can easily add and update content yourself without touching any code.

Step 5: Testing & Tweaks

Before going live, we check everything:

• Mobile responsiveness
• Link functionality
• Load speeds
• SEO settings
  It’s a thorough polish so your Webflow site is ready to perform from day one.

Step 6: Launch & Training

When your new site goes live, I don’t just hand it over — I walk you through the Webflow Editor so you feel confident managing it. Clients are often surprised by how simple it is to make changes themselves.

A Recent Migration Example

One client had a beautiful WordPress site but found updates slow and tricky. After we migrated to Webflow, their marketing team could publish content instantly, and their site loaded noticeably faster. The transition was smooth, and they didn’t lose a single page or post.

Migrating from WordPress to Webflow isn’t just a tech job — it’s an opportunity to refresh your site, improve speed, and make it easier to manage. The key is having a clear process so the move is seamless and nothing gets left behind.
