Why teams leave Webflow
Webflow is convenient to start with, but as a platform for a growing project it hits restrictions:
- Expensive subscription. A full plan with CMS costs noticeably, and the price grows with limits and traffic.
- CMS limits. Restrictions on the number of collections, items, and requests. A large catalog or blog hits the ceiling.
- Platform lock-in. The site lives inside Webflow. Export is incomplete (CMS cannot be exported live), leaving is hard.
- Limited logic. Complex integrations and custom functionality have to be bolted on top of the platform.
What Headless gives you
We move the site to a Headless CMS (Sanity, Strapi, Contentful) and clean code (Astro, Next.js). Content manageability is preserved, limits and subscription disappear.
| Parameter | Webflow | Headless + clean code |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost of ownership | Growing subscription | Cheap static hosting |
| CMS limits | Collections, items, requests | No limits |
| Ownership | Platform lock-in | The site belongs to you |
| Flexibility | Within the platform | Any logic and integrations |
How we preserve design, content, and SEO
Design is transferred close to the original, all content from CMS collections - in full. We keep the URL structure or set up 301 redirects, migrate meta tags. The speed of the code-based site helps rankings grow.
Cost and timeline
Migration from Webflow starts at 1200 EUR. Timeline depends on the number of pages and CMS collection volume. We lock in an exact quote after reviewing your current site.

Frequently asked questions
Why leave Webflow?
The main reasons are an expensive subscription, CMS limits (number of collections, items, requests), and platform lock-in. As the project grows, Webflow becomes more expensive and more restrictive. Migrating to Headless removes limits and eliminates monthly platform fees.
Will you transfer the design from Webflow?
Yes, the design is transferred close to the original - Webflow generates HTML/CSS that we carefully translate to clean code. A redesign can be done simultaneously if desired. All content from CMS collections is transferred in full.
Will I lose my search rankings?
No. We preserve the URL structure or set up 301 redirects from old addresses, migrate meta tags and headings. The speed of the code-based site helps rankings rather than harming them.
How much does migration from Webflow cost?
From 1200 EUR. Price depends on the number of pages, CMS collection volume, and integrations. We provide an exact quote after reviewing your current site.
Will it be cheaper to operate?
Yes. Instead of a monthly Webflow subscription (which grows with CMS limits) you pay only for cheap static hosting. At project scale, the annual savings are significant.
