The community member has migrated a small website from Webflow using a copy-paste method, but believes there is a big opportunity for clients. They ask how difficult it would be for a developer to implement a feature to export code from Webflow and import it into Webstudio's zip uploader, as the entire Webflow site is ready with pages and settings. The community members in the comments discuss the difficulty of this task, noting that for small websites it may be okay, but for medium or large Webflow sites, it would be challenging due to issues with animations, CMS, and lack of support for certain Webflow components. They mention that Webstudio currently does not offer a CMS, and that automating the migration process may not lead to significant success, as users could simply copy and paste the entire page from Webflow into Webstudio. The biggest challenge is replacing unsupported components and migrating data. While a CMS migration tool for other CMSs is being considered, the Webstudio team is currently focused on other priorities. The community members agree that a one-click Webflow migration is not possible at the moment, but would be a game-changer.
I migrated my small site from Webflow copy past mathod, but there is a big opportunity for clients. How difficult is it for a developer to implement such a feature export code from Webflow and import it into Webstudio zip uploader, whole Webflow site is ready with pages and all settings. Migrating an entire Webflow project sounds complex, but it will lead to the best possible growth for Web Studio.
Hello ! It depend on the complexity of the website. For a small website it's ok. But middle or big webflow site it's gonna be difficult to have a plug and play solution. Animation and CMS are not ready for copy-paste from Webflow. The zip uploader is not ready (and I don't know if the team plan to do it...)
it is indeed quite difficult, you need a cms, we don't offer one.
Another reason is that we don't support all components webflow has. It has lots of custom things, starting with navbar, they are not very good and its very hard to port them 1:1, so automation here is probably not going to lead to a huge success, especially given you could copy the entire page from webflow and paste in webstudio, this is fast enough.
Biggest challenge when migrating is replacing those things we don't support and picking a CMS for your needs + migrating data.
