WordPress to Webflow migration, with every old address redirected

Teams we've worked with
Six things we plan for
WordPress holds a lot of your site in places you don't see. Most of the risk is in what the plugins were quietly doing.
Permalinks that don't match
WordPress lets you pick a structure such as day and name, month and name or post name, and a fresh install defaults to plain links like /?p=123. Categories and tags sit under /category/ and /tag/ by default. We read your live structure and build the redirects to match, instead of assuming.
Posts in several categories
When a post has more than one category and your permalinks use the category, only one shows in the URL, picked alphabetically. We check which URL each post actually used, because that's the one Google knows.
Content the export holds, and content it doesn't
The WordPress export file holds posts, pages, custom post types, comments, custom fields, categories, tags, custom taxonomies and users. It doesn't hold your theme, so layouts and anything a page builder drew get rebuilt in Webflow.
Imports that overwrite or duplicate
Webflow's CSV import can update existing items by Item ID, and Webflow recommends a backup before big imports. We import into a staging copy, check, then publish.
Forms that go nowhere
WordPress forms live in a plugin. In Webflow, each form's notifications are set up again from scratch. We rebuild each form, set who gets it, and send a test.
Plugins with no Webflow equivalent
Webflow has fewer add-ons than WordPress. We list every plugin on your site and match each to a Webflow feature, a small custom-code embed or 'not needed any more', before you agree to anything.
A site your team can edit without a plugin stack
In 2026 we replaced Ridgeway Kite's outdated WordPress site with a product-first Webflow site, with CMS collections, forms and a CMS guide so their team edits it themselves. Yours gets the same: hosting and the CMS in one place, and every old address still working.
Posts and pages moved
Exported from WordPress and imported into Webflow CMS collections, with categories, tags, authors and images, then checked against the live post.
Custom post types and fields mapped
Each custom post type becomes a Webflow collection, with its custom fields turned into collection fields.
A redirect map
Every WordPress URL, categories and tags included, mapped to its Webflow page and loaded as a CSV. Webflow supports CSV import and export for 301 redirects.
SEO titles and descriptions carried over
Page by page, from your SEO plugin's fields into Webflow's SEO settings.
Forms
Rebuilt in Webflow, with notifications going to the people who should get them and a test enquiry sent before launch. Submissions can be exported as a CSV.
Tracking
GA4, Google Ads and Meta rebuilt and checked, with a test enquiry before launch.
A staging site first
Webflow has a staging site, so changes are reviewed before they go live.
Less to look after
Hosting and the CMS are in one place, so there are no plugin updates to keep up with.
What we connect Webflow to
Webflow replaces the theme, the hosting and a pile of plugins. These are the tools it connects to, and what each wire carries.
WordPress plugins used to hold your forms and tracking. On Webflow they're set up on purpose, so enquiries reach your CRM with the visit behind them.
CloudflareHandles DNS for the site. On some client sites, n8n clears its cache when the site publishes.
GTMCarries the tag container and the form events.
n8nReceives every form post and follows the enquiry up.
Astro + KeystaticWhere we build instead when a site needs custom code.
FigmaWhere the site suits it, layouts agreed in Figma are built in Webflow.
Who this is for
For you if
- You want to stop updating WordPress, a theme and a stack of plugins.
- Your team wants to edit text, images and CMS content without a developer.
- You want your blog and service pages to keep their addresses and their rankings as far as a move allows.
Not for you if
- You want to stay on WordPress. We only move sites off it, and we can suggest WordPress agencies instead.
- You need pages built from your own data, or forms that go straight into your own systems. That's Astro, not Webflow, and we'll say so.
- You run a large WooCommerce shop. That's Shopify.
What changes when you move
Both run content sites well. They differ in what you look after and how your content leaves.
| What matters |  WebflowOur pick | WordPress |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting and updates | Hosting and the CMS are in one place. | Hosting, plugins and updates are often managed separately. |
| Add-ons | Fewer than WordPress has. | A large plugin library. |
| Content export | CMS collections export to CSV. | One XML file with posts, pages, custom post types, comments, custom fields and taxonomies. |
| Page addresses | A collection item has its own slug under the collection's path. | You choose a permalink structure; the default is plain /?p=123 links. |
| Redirects | 301 redirects, with CSV import and export. | Handled by a plugin or server rules, depending on your set-up. |
| Form submissions | Kept in Webflow and exportable as a CSV. | Depends on the forms plugin you use. |

Work we can show you
For Sector7 we rebuilt a 139-page site in Webflow on a staging copy, reviewed it page by page with their team, built a redirect map and gave them a CMS they edit themselves. The same steps apply to your WordPress site.

Questions people ask before booking
Straight answers, so you know what to expect.
Still have a question?
Book a callWhy choose Webflow over WordPress or other website builders?
Because your team can edit it and there's less to look after. Hosting and the CMS are in one place, pages don't depend on a stack of plugins, and there's a staging site to check changes before they go live.
It's also one of our two picks for anyone on WordPress: we don't build or maintain WordPress, so we'll move you to Webflow or Astro, whichever suits the site. Our website design and development service covers the move.
What are the benefits of Webflow's CMS for marketing teams?
Your team can change text, images and CMS content in Webflow's Editor without raising a ticket. You also get collections with your own fields, so a case study, a service or a team member each has the layout it needs.
We set up the CMS and show your team how to use it as part of our website development service.
How does Webflow help with SEO and search engine optimisation?
Webflow gives you editable titles, descriptions and alt text, an automatic sitemap, 301 redirects and clean markup. It doesn't decide your content or structure. That's our job, and we check the result in Search Console.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
We can't promise that, and nobody honest can. Google says to expect temporary fluctuation during a move. We map every WordPress URL, including categories and tags, to a Webflow page with a permanent redirect and check Search Console daily for two weeks.
Why only Webflow or Astro, and not another WordPress host?
We only move sites off WordPress, to Webflow or Astro, whichever suits the site. If you'd rather stay on WordPress, we can suggest agencies who work with it.
What happens to our plugins?
We list every plugin and match it to a Webflow feature, a small embed or 'not needed any more'. You see the list, and any extra running cost, before you agree to the plan. If a plugin does something nothing covers, the plan says so.
Do our blog comments come across?
WordPress exports comments in its file. Whether they come across depends on what you want on Webflow: an archive, a comments tool, or none. We agree that in the plan.
Should it be Webflow or Astro?
If your team edits pages every week, Webflow. If the site needs pages built from data, forms straight into your own systems or content kept in Git, Astro. We'll say which fits yours on the first call.
How long does it take?
A WordPress to Webflow migration used to take months. Now it can take weeks, or even days. The biggest factor is how quickly your team can review the work and give feedback. You'll see the timeline in the written plan before we start.
