Framer to WordPress migration service
We rebuild your Framer site in WordPress, carry its content across, copy its images off Framer's servers, and redirect every old address to its new one. For site owners who have decided to leave Framer. Quoted in writing after a free assessment.
In short
- Framer's help gives two answers about downloading a site's HTML. Neither is something WordPress imports, so the pages are rebuilt.
- CMS collections leave Framer as CSV files, through a plugin that Framer publishes. They are imported into WordPress.
- Animations and interactions made in Framer are rebuilt or dropped. Nobody can promise they will look the same.
- Every old Framer address is redirected to its new one, and the redirects are checked.
- It starts with a free assessment and a fixed quote in writing.
- A small site is one you can move yourself. The guide is linked on this page.
A move from Framer to WordPress is not a copy. Framer's help center answers the question of exporting a site in two places, and the answers differ. One article says "Framer does not offer HTML export for self-hosting." Another says every Framer site "is published as standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and static assets" and that you can download those files at any time. Neither gives steps for a download, and neither describes a file that WordPress takes in: the Import screen in WordPress lists no importer for Framer.
So this service is a rebuild with your content in it. We build your pages again in WordPress, bring your CMS collections across, copy your images off Framer's servers, and redirect every old address to its new one.
Who it is for, and who it is not
It fits when all of these are true:
- you have decided to leave Framer, and the site will be WordPress afterward
- you do not want to rebuild the pages and bring the collections across yourself
- people reach the site from search results and from links on other sites, and you want each old address to keep leading somewhere
A move is not always needed. Some things can be changed where the site is.
- The trouble is who can edit. Framer has a Content Editor role. Its help says that role manages CMS content, localization and on-page editing, which is changing text and images from the published page. If small text changes wait on one designer, that role may be the fix.
- The trouble is addresses that changed, or old links that break. Framer has redirects of its own, under Site Settings, then Hosting, then Redirects. As of October 2026, its pricing page lists "Site redirects" on the Pro plan and not on Basic.
- The site is not found in search. That is search work, and it is done where the site is: see search services. A move does not fix it by itself.
- The animations are the point of the site. They do not come across. See the section on animations below before you decide.
- Nobody will look after a WordPress site. Framer's help says its hosting works "without manual setup or maintenance". On WordPress you choose the hosting, and someone has to keep the site updated and backed up: the WordPress maintenance checklist shows what that involves. If the Framer site does what you need, staying is a reasonable choice.
And it is not this service in these cases.
- The site is small and has few collections. You can move it yourself with how to migrate from Framer to WordPress.
- You want a different look. This service rebuilds the design you have. A new one is design and development.
- The site is already WordPress, and only its hosting is changing. That is a copy with a fixed price: see WordPress migration.
- The site is on something other than Framer. See the migrations page. If you do not know what a site is built with, the platform detector reads it from outside.
What you get
- A written list before you decide. What moves by itself, what has to be rebuilt, and each animation marked as rebuilt, made simpler or left out.
- A fixed quote in writing. The assessment that comes before it is free, and you owe nothing after it.
- Your pages in WordPress, with your content in them. Your text, images and CMS items are carried across, and the design is rebuilt to match what you have. The table below says how each part gets there.
- Images on your own site. Every image is copied into the WordPress Media Library, so nothing on the new site loads from Framer.
- Old addresses that still lead somewhere. A page that can keep its address keeps it. Every other old address is redirected, and the redirects are checked before the domain is changed.
- A new site you have seen before your visitors do. It is built on a staging copy while your Framer site stays live. The domain is changed only after you have looked at it.
What moves, and what is rebuilt
This table follows Framer's own help center as of October 2026.
| What | How it gets there | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | Rebuilt in WordPress, with your text and images carried across | Framer's help describes no export of a page that WordPress can import. It does serve a markdown version of a published page, which holds the page's text. |
| CMS collections, such as blog posts or case studies | Exported from Framer as CSV files and imported into WordPress | Framer's help says CMS content "can be exported using plugins into structured formats such as CSV or JSON". CMS Export, a plugin Framer publishes in its Marketplace, exports a collection as a CSV file. |
| Images | Copied into the WordPress Media Library | Framer resizes the images it serves and converts most of them to AVIF. Where you still have the files you uploaded, those are used. |
| Page titles and descriptions | Entered again in WordPress | In Framer they are set in Page Settings. For CMS pages they are filled in from CMS fields, so those words come across with the collection. |
| Redirects made in Framer | Exported as a CSV file and written again as rules on the WordPress site | Redirect Sync, a plugin Framer publishes, exports a project's redirects. |
| Forms | Rebuilt in WordPress | Framer's help says a native form sends submissions "to email, Google Sheets, or custom webhooks". Your past submissions are wherever they were sent. |
| Scripts added under Custom Code | Added again on the WordPress site | Analytics tags, chat widgets and structured data, each listed in the assessment. |
| Other languages | Set up again in WordPress | Framer can translate page paths, so each language may have addresses of its own. WordPress's documentation says it does not support a multilingual site "out-of-the-box", so languages need a plugin or a site each. |
| Animations and interactions | Rebuilt, made simpler or left out | See the next section. |
| Design | Rebuilt in a WordPress theme to match what you have | Framer's help describes no export of a design that WordPress can use. The design is rebuilt, not copied. |
| Domain | Stays yours | Framer says it "is not a domain registrar, so your domain will remain registered with your current provider". A domain claimed with a yearly Framer plan is managed through Hover, a company Framer partners with. |
Animations and interactions
Framer's help says its animations and effects are made without code and are powered by Motion, an animation library that runs on JavaScript and React. Its help describes no export for them.
So each animation on your site ends up as one of three things:
- Rebuilt. Made again in the new theme. It is a new piece of work that imitates the old one.
- Made simpler. Replaced by a plain fade, a slide or a hover state.
- Left out. The content stays and the motion goes.
The assessment lists them one by one, and you choose. We do not promise that a rebuilt animation will look or feel the same as the one in Framer. If the site depends on its motion more than on its content, say so in the form: it changes the size of the job, and it may be a reason to stay.
What happens to your old addresses
Search engines and other sites link to your Framer addresses. Each one has to lead somewhere on the new site.
| On Framer | In WordPress |
|---|---|
example.com/about for a page. Framer makes the path from the page's name | The same address, when the page keeps its slug |
example.com/blog/my-article for a CMS item, as in Framer's own example | Set by the permalink structure you choose, so a post can keep the same path |
A translated path for another language, such as /lavora-con-noi | Depends on how the languages are set up |
We work from the addresses your site answers at: its /sitemap.xml, which Framer generates for every published site, and the Pages panel. A page that can keep its address keeps it. Every other old address is redirected to its new page.
Framer's help says its redirects cover "sub-paths within your current domain". Once the domain points at the new site, Framer no longer answers for those addresses. So the redirects are made on the WordPress site, the ones you already had in Framer included, and they are checked before the domain is changed.
How it works
Step 1: Ask for a free migration assessment
Tell us on the migration assessment page that you are on Framer and moving to WordPress, and roughly how big the site is: how many pages, how many CMS collections, and whether it has forms or more than one language.
Step 2: Get a written list and a fixed quote
We reply in writing with what moves by itself, what has to be rebuilt, and a fixed quote. Whether to go ahead is up to you.
Step 3: The new site is built on a staging copy
Your Framer site stays live and unchanged while this happens.
Step 4: Images are copied, old addresses mapped and the redirects checked
Each Framer address is matched to its new page, and each redirect is checked.
Step 5: You look at the new site
The domain is changed only after that.
What we need from you to start
For the assessment, the form asks for your name, an email address for the reply, where the site is now, where you want it, roughly how big it is, and its address if you can share it. In the message, say:
- how many pages and CMS collections the site has, and roughly how many items are in each collection
- whether it has forms, a search box, or more than one language
- which animations the site could not do without
- when you would like to move
We use these details to reply to you about this request, and for nothing else.
For the move itself:
- A way into the Framer project that you give and take away. We never ask for your Framer password. You open the project, click "Invite", enter the email address we give you and choose a role. Framer's help says a Viewer has read-only access and is free, and that members with editing permissions are billed. When the move is done, you remove us from the same place, with "Remove".
- The WordPress hosting, bought by you. You add us as a user on the new site, from the "Add New User" screen in WordPress.
- Your Framer plan, kept running until the new site is live on your domain.
- Someone who can sign in where the domain is registered. Framer's help says it does not manage DNS, so the records are changed at your domain provider.
What it does not cover
- Hosting and Framer's fees. You buy the hosting for the WordPress site. Your Framer plan is yours to cancel. Framer says that after you cancel, plan benefits stay active until the end of the current billing cycle, and that refunds "are not provided for unused time remaining in an active subscription term".
- Email. Mailboxes are not moved. Your mail records sit with your domain provider and are left as they are.
- New design work. The service rebuilds the design you have. A new look is a separate job: see design and development.
- Looking after the site afterwards. Updates, backups and monitoring are a care plan. See WordPress maintenance.
Moves from other platforms are on the migrations page, among them Webflow to WordPress.

Common questions
Can you export my Framer site and import it into WordPress?
No. The Import screen in WordPress lists no importer for Framer, and Framer's help describes no file made for one. What does leave Framer as a file is data: each CMS collection and the project's redirects, as CSV. The pages and the design are rebuilt.
Will the animations look the same?
We do not promise that. Each one is rebuilt in the new theme, made simpler or left out, and you choose which. A rebuilt animation is new work made to resemble the old one.
Can I do the move myself?
Yes. How to migrate from Framer to WordPress goes through it. Pages are rebuilt by hand, so count your pages, your collections and your animations before you decide.
What will it cost?
It is quoted in writing, because no two sites are the same size. The assessment is free, and you owe nothing after it. WordPress migration cost lists what sets the size of the job, so you can count your own first.
How long will it take?
This page gives no time, because that depends on how many pages are rebuilt, how many collections come across and how much of the motion is made again. The assessment form asks when you would like to move. Say so there.
Will my site go offline during the move?
Your Framer site keeps serving visitors while the new one is built. After any DNS change, some visitors still reach the old site for a while: Framer's help says DNS changes "may take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide". Keep the Framer site in place until the new one has been serving visitors without trouble.
Will my search rankings stay the same?
Nobody can promise that. What protects them is that every old address leads to its new page. That is what the redirects are for, and each one is checked before the domain is changed. How to migrate a website without losing SEO sets out what the search engines themselves say about a move.
Should I cancel my Framer plan first?
No. Framer's help says connecting a custom domain is part of a paid Site plan. It does not say what a visitor to your domain sees once the plan has ended, so keep the plan until the new site is live on your domain. And do not delete the project: Framer says a deleted project's site is unpublished and "cannot be recovered".
