(Webflow migration)
WEBFLOWto Astro, past the ceiling.
For Webflow sites where every update has started to feel like a project: the same brand and addresses, on Astro and Sanity.
(In short)
Webflow to Astro and Sanity migration
beterdesign migrates Webflow websites to Astro and Sanity, hosted on Cloudflare. CMS collections, pages, images and every old Webflow address move across, and the site gets faster with an editor built around its own content. VQ Consulting moved in one working day and is 20% faster; Beth Keyse moved 151 blog posts, 201 images and a hotel atlas in four working days; Fonemika kept the searches it already ranked for. The studio moved its own site off Webflow first. The migration is quoted by the size of the site.
- (01)
Every update is a project
Every new piece means opening the visual editor, and every small change becomes a small project. In Sanity it is a document; in Slack it is one message to your studio assistant.
- (02)
The design ceiling
Webflow is generous until the ambition outgrows it. On Astro every line of markup, every animation and every type decision is built to measure.
- (03)
Faster than fast
VQ Consulting’s Webflow site already scored 100 on Lighthouse. On Astro it is 20% faster, because there is nothing left to slow it down.

Content that outgrew the CMS
A blog with 151 posts, a hotel atlas, eighteen service pages: in Sanity each is a clean document with its own fields, filters and search.

The old site already ranked for “logoped Voždovac”. Every old address was kept or redirected, eighteen areas of work became pages the centre edits in Sanity, and the contact form finally sends.

Content into Sanity in one pass

Quoted by size, not by guesswork.
Every migration is quoted by the size of the site: how many pages and posts, how many languages, what has to keep working (forms, booking, a shop) and whether the design stays or changes. Send the address through the form and we reply with a quote within two business days.

Questions about Webflow migration
(01)Can I move my Webflow site to Astro without losing SEO?
Yes. Blog addresses are kept, leftover Webflow template pages redirect to the right place, and titles, structured data and the sitemap go live with the site. Beth Keyse’s blog kept its addresses, and Fonemika kept the searches it already ranked for.
(02)What happens to my Webflow CMS?
Each collection becomes a content type in Sanity, and the items are loaded in one pass: Beth Keyse’s 151 posts and 201 images moved together. Custom pieces, such as her interactive hotel atlas, are rebuilt with their logic unchanged.
(03)How long does a Webflow migration take?
VQ Consulting took one working day and Beth Keyse, with 165 pages, four working days. The quote states the time for your site.
(04)Is Astro faster than Webflow?
In our migrations, yes. VQ Consulting’s Webflow site already scored 100 on Lighthouse, and the Astro version is 20% faster, because it serves static pages with almost no JavaScript.
