Initial Contact and Consultation
First, connect with us for a free consultation by submitting the form below or by calling us on our phone at +91 75585 72697 or e-mailing us at savita [at] wpoets.com.
During this initial consultation with you and your team, we will understand your specific needs and goals, define the scope of your project, and determine the expected deadline for migration.
Our experts would also gather detailed information about the existing Webflow site, its structure, design complexity, volume of content, third-party integrations, and any existing or newly developed custom features and functionalities.
We also ask for competitors’ references and discuss what you like or dislike about them.
Proposal and Planning
On the basis of discussions with stakeholders from your team, we will develop a customized proposal that will outline the scope of the work, the timeline, resource allocation, and the cost estimates.Along with it, we create a detailed migration plan and identify key milestones and deliverables, including content migration, design replication or redesign, functionality redevelopment, testing, go live, and post-launch maintenance and support. Together with your team, we refine the migration strategy as per your needs.
Following the approval of the proposal and the signing of the contract, we will first appoint a project manager (CX Customer Experience) and then put together a team to work on the migration.
An introductory online meeting is held (Sales to CX) in order to introduce the project manager, discuss the project goals, and finally begin the project.
Migration Execution
Next, we set up a staging server where we will develop your new WordPress site. This environment access will be given to your team so that you can track the progress of the migration and see for yourself how the website is taking shape on WordPress.
Next, the content migration phase starts, where we bulk import content using scripts or plugins. For complex content types, we manually copy the data from Webflow to WordPress. We ensure that all content is correctly formatted and linked within your new site, along with maintaining its data integrity and structure.
Simultaneously, our designers and developers work together to recreate all design elements using gutenberg blocks, ensuring your WordPress site matches the Webflow design.
Then we develop custom functionalities and integrate third-party applications, if any, into WordPress using custom coding or appropriate plugins. We keep plugin usage to a minimum.
We regularly review and gather feedback from your team. Based on that, we fine tune the process so that the site meets your expectations.
Quality Assurance and Deployment

FAQs
Why migrate to WordPress from Webflow?
Migrating from Webflow to WordPress offers several compelling advantages for startups, SMEs, and enterprise clients. It’s a strategic decision for various reasons.
A few of the reasons are:
Customizations: All the features and functionality provided by Webflow or custom built into it can be migrated to WordPress, but its not always the other way around.
Cost-Effectiveness: Webflow operates on a subscription-based pricing model, which can become expensive as the needs of the enterprise grow. With WordPress, you can reduce long-term costs. The platform itself is free and open-source, While there are costs associated with hosting, building custom themes from scratch, heavy customizations, and third-party premium plugins, the overall expense is typically lower, providing better long-term cost efficiency. In fact, one of our customers recently moved to WordPress, with cost being the primary reason.
Integration Options: While Webflow offers integrations with various third-party tools, the options may be more limited and might necessitate additional expenditure on custom coding, compared to the extensive ecosystem available for WordPress. WordPress seamlessly integrates with a wide range of third-party tools and services, including CRM systems, marketing automation platforms, payment gateways, and any APIs, providing a unified digital ecosystem.
Scalability: WordPress is known for its scalability and flexibility, and it can be configured to handle high traffic volumes and build complex site architectures. We optimize WordPress-environments as per your needs and implement advanced infrastructure solutions like content delivery networks (CDNs), load balancers, and caching mechanisms to ensure high performance and availability.
How long does the Webflow to WordPress migration take?
This is the most common question asked to us.
An assessment of your existing website will be done. This includes studying the sitemap, identifying unique numbers of pages and content types, any custom functionality or integrations that need to be recreated in WordPress, understanding the complexity of the website, and any specific design requirements.
Based on the assessments, the duration of the migration will be estimated and may vary from few weeks to a couple of months
