People leave Webflow and Framer for WordPress for the usual reasons: hosting costs, a client who wants to own the site, plugins the platform doesn't have, or an editor their team already knows. The problem is that neither platform has a "Send to WordPress" button, and rebuilding every page widget by widget is where these projects stall.
This guide splits the move into the three parts that actually transfer differently, and shows the fastest way through the hardest one: the design.
What a migration really involves
| Part | What it includes | How it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Pages, sections, layout, fonts, colors, responsive behavior | Rebuild in Elementor - or export each live page as an Elementor template |
| Content | Blog posts, CMS collections, images | CSV export (Webflow) → WordPress import plugin; images to the Media Library |
| Plumbing | Forms, redirects, meta titles, analytics | Recreate in WordPress; 301 every changed URL |
Most of the effort - and most of the "it doesn't look the same" complaints - lives in the first row.
Step 1: Inventory the site
Before touching WordPress, list every page and its URL. Your sitemap (/sitemap.xml on most Webflow and Framer sites) is the quickest source. Mark which pages are static (home, pricing, about, landing pages) and which are CMS-driven (blog posts, case studies). Static pages move as designs; CMS pages move as content plus one template.
Keep this list - you'll need it again for redirects.
Step 2: Move the design, page by page
You have two routes.
Rebuild by hand. Open the live page beside the Elementor editor and recreate it with containers and widgets, matching fonts, spacing and breakpoints by eye. It's fine for a three-page site; on a twenty-page site it's weeks of work, and the mobile layout drifts.
Export each page as an Elementor template. MiroMiro reads the published page the way your browser renders it - real layout, computed styles, fonts, colors, images and responsive rules - and downloads it as an Elementor .json template. It works on Framer and Webflow pages alike, because it doesn't need the platform's own export; it reads the live site.
For each page on your list:
- Open the live page with the MiroMiro extension.
- Use Export full page (or click Export and pick a single section).
- Choose Download → Elementor template.
- In WordPress: Templates → Saved Templates → Import Templates, then insert it on the new page from My Templates.
The full walkthrough is in how to convert a website to Elementor.
Know the trade-off: each export arrives as one HTML block inside Elementor, not separate native widgets. That's what keeps it pixel-true. You can edit text, links and images inside the block. If the client needs to drag individual widgets around later, rebuild just those sections natively, using the export as your exact reference.
Step 3: Bring the content across
- Webflow CMS: export each collection as CSV (Collection settings → Export), then import into WordPress posts or a custom post type with a CSV import plugin. Map fields - title, slug, body, image - carefully.
- Framer CMS: copy collection content out manually or via a CSV if your setup allows it, then import the same way.
- Images: exported templates load images from the original site's URLs. Download them (MiroMiro's asset extractor grabs every image on a page at once), upload them to the Media Library, and swap them in before you cancel the old plan - otherwise they'll break when the old site goes away.
Then design a single post template in Elementor so every migrated post picks up the same layout.
Step 4: Protect your rankings
This is the step that decides whether the move costs you traffic.
- Keep URLs identical where you can. WordPress permalinks can mirror most Webflow and Framer paths.
- 301 every URL that changes, using your Step 1 inventory. A redirect plugin handles this without code.
- Copy titles and meta descriptions across for every page.
- Switch DNS, then re-submit your sitemap in Google Search Console and watch the Pages report for errors for a couple of weeks.
Step 5: Check it on a phone
Before you switch the domain, open every key page at phone width. Exported templates carry the original responsive rules, but anything you rebuilt by hand needs its breakpoints checked.
The short version
- Design: export each live page as an Elementor template instead of rebuilding it - see how.
- Content: CSV out, CSV in.
- Rankings: same URLs, 301s for the rest, re-submit the sitemap.
