Quick answers to common questions about migrating your WordPress site to Webflow—timelines, SEO, responsiveness, pricing, and what’s included.
What’s included in a WordPress to Webflow migration?
Typically: content + page rebuild in Webflow, styling to match (or improve) your current site, responsive layouts, CMS setup (if needed), basic on-page SEO preservation, redirects, and launch support. If you have forms, blogs, or custom post types—those can usually be migrated too.
How long does a WordPress to Webflow migration take?
Most migrations take 2–6 weeks, depending on how many pages you have, whether you’re moving a blog/CMS, and how complex your current layout is. Smaller marketing sites can be quicker; large content sites take longer due to content cleanup and QA.
Will my design stay the same after migrating to Webflow?
It can. I can recreate your current design 1:1, or we can use the migration as an opportunity to refresh the design and improve conversions—without losing brand consistency.
Will I lose my SEO when moving from WordPress to Webflow?
Not if it’s handled properly. Key steps like 301 redirects, preserving page titles/meta descriptions, maintaining URL structure where possible, and submitting updated sitemaps help protect rankings. Some short-term fluctuation can happen, but good migration practices minimize risk.
Can you migrate my blog posts from WordPress to Webflow CMS?
Yes. Blog posts can be migrated into Webflow CMS (usually via CSV export/import plus formatting cleanup). I’ll map fields like title, slug, author, categories/tags (where supported), featured images, and publish dates.
What about plugins and special WordPress features?
Webflow doesn’t use plugins the same way. Most common plugin-based features (SEO, forms, popups, analytics, caching, security) have Webflow-native equivalents or lightweight integrations. For anything custom in WordPress, I’ll recommend the cleanest Webflow approach.
Will my Webflow site be faster than WordPress?
In most cases, yes—Webflow sites tend to be leaner and quicker because you’re not relying on multiple plugins/themes. Speed still depends on images, animations, and embeds, but performance is usually a strong upgrade.
Can you keep my domain and email the same?
Yes. Your domain can stay exactly the same. Email (Google Workspace, Office 365, etc.) is unaffected as long as DNS is updated carefully during launch.
Will my Webflow website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website I build in Webflow is fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Do I need a subscription to Webflow?
Yes—Webflow requires a paid plan for hosting (and additional features depending on your setup). I can guide you to the best plan based on your needs and whether you’re using CMS, memberships, or just a simple landing page.
Can you set up redirects from my old WordPress URLs?
Yes. Redirects are a standard part of migration. This prevents broken links and helps preserve SEO value from your existing pages.
What do you need from me to get started?
Usually: WordPress admin access (or exports), your domain/DNS access, brand assets (logo/fonts), and any analytics/SEO tools you’re using (Google Analytics, Search Console, etc.). If you don’t have everything, I’ll tell you the easiest workaround.
Will I be able to edit my website easily in Webflow?
Yes. Webflow’s Editor (and CMS) makes editing straightforward. If you want, I can also provide a quick handoff walkthrough so you feel confident updating content.
