// WHEN TO MIGRATE

Signs it's time to move on

You're hitting CMS limits

Content types, page counts, or API calls that cost extra on every no-code plan.

Monthly fees are stacking up

Platform subscription + hosting + plugins + CMS add-ons = a bill that never shrinks.

Performance is suffering

Page builders load megabytes of JS. Custom code ships only what the page needs.

Custom features need hacks

Every new requirement becomes a workaround — widgets, iframes, or expensive plugins.

You don't own your code

If the platform shuts down or raises prices, you have no escape. Your site is trapped.

Your team has outgrown it

More developers, more complexity, more friction. No-code doesn't collaborate well.

// THE MIGRATION PROCESS

Start your
migration.

Follow these steps to move from no-code to a codebase you actually own.

Step 01

Audit

We review your current site: structure, content, integrations, and what actually works.

Step 02

Design

We preserve your brand while upgrading the visual and structural quality. You approve every screen before a line is written.

Step 03

Rebuild

Clean Nuxt 3 codebase, component-by-component. No shortcuts, no leftover platform junk.

Step 04

Migrate

Content, redirects, SEO — everything moves without losing rankings. Zero downtime cutover.

Step 05

Deploy

Vercel edge deployment, performance audit, Core Web Vitals check, and full handoff to your team.

Faster load times

Custom code ships 40–70% less JS than any page builder.

0%

Yours forever

Git repo you own. No subscriptions. No lock-in.

MIGRATION FAQ

Questions, answered.

The most common questions about moving off Webflow, Framer, Wix, Squarespace, Elementor or WordPress to a custom codebase.

A standard marketing site (10-25 pages) takes 2-4 weeks: 1 week audit and design alignment, 2 weeks rebuild in Nuxt, and a few days for content migration, redirects, and QA. Larger sites with custom CMS schemas can take 6-8 weeks.

No, if it is done properly. We map every old URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects, preserve all on-page content, keep title and meta structures, and rebuild your sitemap and robots.txt. Most clients see rankings stable or improving within 4-6 weeks post-migration because page speed jumps significantly.

We export every CMS collection, then either rebuild the CMS in a headless setup you control (Sanity, Storyblok, Directus) or replace the dynamic content with a simpler approach if it does not need a CMS. You keep full ownership of all content and database access.

Both options are available. The default migration preserves your existing visual design 1:1 while cleaning up the underlying code. If you want a design refresh, we can do that as part of the same engagement — usually adds 1-2 weeks.

Marketing site migrations typically range from €4,000 to €15,000 depending on page count, CMS complexity, and whether you want a design refresh. After migration you save €30-50 per month on Webflow hosting and CMS fees, plus avoid any future Webflow price increases.

No. We can provide ongoing maintenance as a retainer, or hand off a fully documented codebase to your existing team. The Nuxt stack we use is widely supported, so any frontend developer can pick it up. You can also continue editing content through your chosen headless CMS without touching code.

Same process. We migrate from Framer (loss of vendor lock-in and animation control), Elementor (plugin bloat and security patches), and classic WordPress (PHP legacy stack). Each platform has its own migration playbook but the end result is identical: a custom codebase you own.

Yes. Wix is one of the most restrictive platforms to escape — it does not allow you to export your code or move your content easily. We handle the full migration: extracting your content, rebuilding the design in a clean Nuxt codebase, and setting up redirects so nothing breaks. The result is a site you actually own, with no monthly Wix subscription.

Squarespace migrations follow the same audit-design-rebuild-deploy process. We export your content, recreate your design without the template constraints, and rebuild everything in Nuxt 3. You get full flexibility to customise any layout, add any feature, and host wherever you want — no more Squarespace subscription or template limitations.
