Webflow → Astro · zero JS by default
Migrate Webflow to Astro for near-instant load.
Astro ships zero JavaScript by default, one of the fastest ways to build a content site. I migrate Webflow sites to Astro so you keep the design, gain near-instant load times, own your code, and drop the monthly subscription.
Why Astro
Webflow is great, until speed, cost, or ownership matter most.
For content and marketing sites, Astro is hard to beat: it ships almost no JavaScript, so pages load near-instantly. There's no recurring Webflow subscription, and you fully control the code and can deploy it anywhere. The design stays exactly as it is.

Astro, or Next.js?
Honest guidance: the right tool depends on what you're building.
What you gain
Fast, cheap, yours.
Everything that ships with a Webflow-to-Astro migration.
- 01
Pixel-faithful rebuild
Your Webflow design rebuilt in Astro exactly: same layout, type, and spacing across every breakpoint.
- 02
Near-perfect performance
Zero JS by default means most pages hit 95–100 Lighthouse and load almost instantly.
- 03
Content & CMS migration
Webflow CMS moved into Astro content collections or a headless CMS (Prismic, Sanity, Storyblok) so your team keeps editing.
- 04
SEO preserved
Meta, structured data, sitemaps, and 301 redirects carried over so rankings and traffic hold.
- 05
Own your code & hosting
No more monthly Webflow fees or lock-in: deploy to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare and own everything.
- 06
Islands for interactivity
Where you need it, interactive components hydrate as isolated islands, without shipping JS to the whole page.
What actually changes
What moves, and what improves.
A migration should be invisible to your visitors and to Google. Here is exactly what carries over untouched, and what gets better once you are on Astro.
Kept exactly
- Your design, down to layout, type, spacing, and every breakpoint.
- Every URL, with 301 redirects for any that must change, so rankings hold.
- Page titles, meta, structured data, canonicals, and your sitemap.
Content and CMS
- Webflow CMS collections move to Astro content collections or a headless CMS you pick.
- Your team keeps a way to publish, whether that is Markdown, a CMS, or Git.
- Images are re-exported in modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sized correctly.
What improves
- Astro ships zero JavaScript by default, so pages load close to instantly.
- Core Web Vitals move into the green, which helps both users and rankings.
- You own the code and the repository, and can host it anywhere.
What you drop
- The monthly Webflow subscription and per-seat costs.
- Platform caps on CMS items, and lock-in to Webflow's hosting.
- Bloat from unused Webflow scripts and interaction overhead.
You launch on the same URLs with the same look, a faster site, and full ownership. Anything that moves is redirected, so search engines follow you across without a dip.
Process
How the migration works.
A safe, staged path from audit to launch.
Audit & inventory
I map every page, CMS collection, interaction, and SEO asset on your Webflow site, then quote a fixed price.
Architecture & content
Astro project set up with your design tokens and a content-collection or headless-CMS structure.
Rebuild in Astro
Pages rebuilt as reusable Astro components matching your Webflow design at every breakpoint.
Content migration & QA
Content moved over, then cross-browser and device QA plus a full SEO and redirect check.
Launch with redirects
Go live with 301 redirects, sitemap, and analytics in place so nothing drops in search.

FAQ
Common questions.
- Teams move to Astro for three reasons: speed (zero JavaScript by default), cost (no recurring Webflow subscription), and ownership (you control the code and host anywhere). The trade-off is that editing needs a developer or a connected headless CMS rather than the Webflow Designer.
- Yes. I carry over all meta tags, structured data, and headings, and set up 301 redirects for every URL. Done right, a Webflow-to-Astro migration preserves rankings and usually improves them thanks to faster load times.
- It depends on page count, CMS complexity, and interactions. I quote a fixed price after auditing your current site. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
- Yes. I connect a headless CMS (Prismic, Sanity, Storyblok) or use Astro content collections so your team keeps publishing without touching code. We pick the option that fits your workflow during the audit.
- Astro wins for content and marketing sites where speed and simplicity matter and you ship little interactivity. Next.js is the right call when you need a full web app: auth, dashboards, complex state. I build both and recommend honestly.
