Framer to Webflow:
step-by-step guide

Migrating from Framer to Webflow involves rebuilding your visual design in Webflow, transferring content, and, if used, setting up a scalable CMS structure. While both platforms offer visual design capabilities, Webflow adds powerful CMS and SEO control that Framer lacks. Our team at Flow Ninja can replicate your layout while upgrading the underlying structure for long-term growth. If you want clarity on the process, book a free migration consultation and we’ll walk you through it step by step.

The main challenge lies in translating visual elements created in Framer into a Webflow build that’s component-based and CMS-driven. Framer lacks a powerful CMS and SEO toolkit, so most content needs to be restructured and migrated manually. Additionally, Framer’s animation and interactivity may require thoughtful recreation in Webflow using native tools or custom code. On top of that, SEO and performance can take a hit if the migration is not executed properly. Flow Ninja manages all of this, ensuring a clean, performant, and scalable Webflow implementation.

SEO concerns are valid as Framer sites often underperform in terms of structured metadata, schema, and crawlability. Migrating to Webflow can significantly improve SEO if handled properly. We take care of URL redirects, structured data, meta tags, and Core Web Vitals optimization. Our post-launch SEO support ensures rankings are preserved and often improved as the new site is indexed.

We start by auditing your existing Framer site, such as layout, interactions, and content structure. Then we rebuild the site in Webflow using scalable components and native CMS architecture, while replicating animations and interactivity where needed. We also handle SEO enhancements, accessibility updates, and CMS flexibility so your team can move faster post-launch.

Absolutely. Many teams come to us from Framer because they want more than just a portfolio site: they want a growth engine. After migration, we support everything from landing page design and CMS expansion to SEO and MarTech integrations. Webflow gives you control, and Flow Ninja makes sure you’re using it strategically.

Framer sites typically don’t rely on a robust CMS, so much of the migration involves manually restructuring content into Webflow CMS collections. We map out what content should live as dynamic (e.g. blog posts, team members, services) and what should remain static, and build everything for marketing scalability. This gives your team the ability to manage and expand content without developer input.

Yes. While Framer excels in visual polish, it’s often lacking in code optimization and accessibility standards. Webflow outputs clean semantic code and offers best-in-class hosting, SSL, and SEO control. At Flow Ninja, we also layer in accessibility enhancements and compliance to ensure your new site performs better across all metrics.

Most Framer to Webflow migrations take between 2–5 weeks, depending on the number of pages, complexity of animations, and CMS needs. During your free consultation call, we’ll assess your current site and provide a realistic timeline and quote based on your goals.

Framer is great for early-stage designs, but quickly hits a ceiling for content-heavy, scalable marketing sites. Webflow gives marketers full control over CMS, SEO, performance, and landing page builds, all within a robust visual interface. For teams that care about growth, Webflow is the upgrade, and Flow Ninja helps unlock its full potential.

Yes. Framer sites often lack structured CMS content, SEO best practices, and scalable infrastructure. Many are built as static or design-driven experiences, which are hard to expand without redesigning from scratch. Webflow eliminates that bottleneck by separating design from content, enabling faster updates, better indexing, and full content control. Flow Ninja ensures you migrate without disruption and with long-term performance in mind.
