Framer migration to Next.js or AstroMove off Framer.

Next.js or Astro with a headless CMS. Your design, animations, CMS content, and URLs come with you.

  • Free assessment, fixed price in writing
  • Redirect map before any code
  • Search Console checks at launch, day 30, and day 60

How do you migrate from Framer without losing SEO?

Framer has no supported code export, so pages are rebuilt as components. The URLs and metadata search engines know move first, and Framer stays live until the cutover.

● Top 3 URLs bring 93% of clicks. They’re protected first.

Illustrative example

  1. Every indexed URL from Search Console, the sitemap, and a full crawl, ranked by clicks and backlinks. CMS collections are exported and mapped to the new content model with their images and metadata.

  2. CMS page paths stay 1:1 wherever possible. Every URL that changes gets a reviewed 301, and redirects already set in Framer are carried over and flattened so nothing chains.

  3. Titles, descriptions, Open Graph, structured data, and alt text, compared page by page against the live Framer site on staging.

  4. On launch day we test every redirect and submit the new sitemap. Then we check Search Console for 404s and lost queries at launch, day 30, and day 60.

Great for design. Tight for content.

Four limits teams hit once the content outgrows the design tool.

  • 01

    Plans cap pages, CMS items, and locales

    As the blog, docs, or landing pages grow, limits turn into upgrades and add-ons rather than decisions you control.

  • 02

    The CMS is built for simple collections

    Fine for posts and case studies. Deep relations, reusable blocks, and editorial workflows are harder to model.

  • 03

    Hosting is tied to Framer

    There’s no supported code export, so the site, its performance budget, and its infrastructure stay on the platform.

  • 04

    Product features need workarounds

    Auth, gated content, live product data, or app integrations end up as embeds and third-party scripts.

Complex scroll effects and third-party plugins are reviewed one by one during the assessment.

SEO preserved.

Nobody can promise rankings. We guarantee the process: Search Console checks at launch, day 30, and day 60, and any redirect or indexing issue from the move fixed within the project price.

  • Crawl of every indexed URL, cross-checked with Search Console and analytics
  • 1:1 URL parity where possible; reviewed 301 map where not
  • Titles, descriptions, canonicals, and Open Graph carried over
  • Structured data preserved or improved
  • XML sitemap and robots.txt regenerated
  • Image alt text and file paths migrated
  • Pre-launch crawl on staging to catch broken links and redirect chains
  • Search Console checks for indexing, 404s, and lost queries at launch, day 30, and day 60

Six steps.

Framer stays live until the new site is ready.

Framer questions.

Anything else, ask on the call.

Will our animations survive?

We rebuild them with Motion, the open-source library that grew out of Framer Motion, plus CSS. Most effects carry over closely. The assessment lists any that won’t.

Can our designers keep working in Framer?

Yes, for design and prototyping. The live site moves to code, and new sections are built as components your editors can reuse without a designer.

What happens to our code components?

They’re React already, so they usually move into the new codebase with small changes.

What happens to our Framer CMS content?

We export the collections, map them to the new content model, and import them with images and metadata. Nobody retypes anything by hand.

Next.js or Astro?

Astro suits content-heavy marketing sites that should ship little JavaScript. Next.js fits when the site sits close to your product, with login, dynamic pricing, or app features. We recommend one in the assessment and explain why.

What would it take?

URLs, CMS, integrations, and risks, ending in a fixed scope and timeline.
