    Webflow migration means moving your existing website into Webflow and doing everything that entails.

    What is a Webflow migration?

    A Webflow migration means moving your existing website into Webflow - from WordPress, HubSpot CMS, Squarespace, or a legacy custom build - and doing everything that entails: rebuilding the design, transferring content, preserving SEO signals, and reconnecting integrations.

    The scope varies significantly. A 20-page marketing site from Squarespace is a very different project from a 300-page enterprise site from AEM, though both require the same fundamentals: a content inventory, a redirect map, and a plan for keeping search traffic intact.

    Cost and timeline shift based on how complex the source site is, how much content needs restructuring, and what integrations need to be rebuilt.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is a Webflow migration something that can be done in weeks, or does it take months?

    Both are realistic. A marketing site with 20-40 pages, no complex CMS, and a clean design handoff can be completed in 3-5 weeks. Add a large blog archive, custom integrations, or a redesign, and you're looking at 8-12 weeks. Keep in mind that any timeline quoted before a content inventory is complete is essentially a guess.

    Can our marketing team keep working while the site is being rebuilt in Webflow?

    Yes, with one exception. Your team can continue publishing on the old site throughout most of the migration - the exception is the content freeze, typically the final two to three weeks before launch, when changes risk being missed in the final build. We plan this window during scoping so your content calendar isn't caught off guard.

    What's the difference between a Webflow migration and a Webflow redesign?

    A migration moves your existing site into Webflow, keeping the content structure and often the design largely intact. A redesign changes the visual design, information architecture, or both alongside the platform move. Combining a full rebrand with a migration adds significant cost and time to both, so it's worth deciding how much design work is in scope before getting quotes.
