Migration Process: Key Stages
Migrating from WordPress to Webflow is a structured process. Here's how we handle it:
1️⃣ Reviewing Your WordPress Setup
• Audit your existing site structure, including pages, posts, menus, and widgets
• Identify all content types like blog posts, custom post types, and dynamic elements
• List plugins and third-party integrations that need to be replaced or reconnected in Webflow
2️⃣ Content & SEO Audit
• Create a full inventory of pages, blog posts, media, and forms
• Decide what to migrate, revise, or archive
• Record SEO data: meta titles, descriptions, URL structure, internal linking
3️⃣ Designing a Custom Structure in Webflow
• Build a fresh layout based on your goals and UX improvements
• Create a global style system using Webflow classes and symbols
• Set up CMS collections for blog posts, resources, team pages, and more
4️⃣ Content & Media Migration
• Export WordPress content and clean up formatting for Webflow import
• Reupload images and videos, optimized for performance
• Recreate forms and functionality using Webflow’s native tools or custom embeds
5️⃣ Testing & Optimization

• Optimize mobile layouts and check performance with Webflow’s built-in tools
6️⃣ Final Launch & Go-Live
