What you hold at the end, from the Framer audit to a site you host yourself.

Discuss your migration
  • A ceramic browser page slab carved into sections with three steel flag pins in it, one flag graphite, and a steel magnifier on a stand over the row of cards.

    Framer site audit

    Pages, breakpoints, components, collections, animations and forms, each marked recreate, simplify or retire.
  • A ceramic browser tile with thin layers lifting off it in a staggered fan on steel pins, one layer graphite.

    Recreated pages and motion

    Layouts rebuilt as components, and the animations that matter redone in light code.
  • A stack of ceramic cards and a ceramic envelope joined by thin steel rails, a graphite card travelling along them.

    Content and forms moved

    CMS collections imported, images downloaded, and forms connected to a new handler.
  • A round ceramic compass base with a thin steel needle pointing at one of four small tiles, that tile graphite.

    Redirects and the switch

    Every Framer URL mapped, the domain moved, and the old site ready to reconnect.

You receive

  • The site in your repository and accounts
  • Redirect map and test record
  • An editor walkthrough

Carry the design over. Give the team a better way to run it.

A published page and an editable content system are different deliverables. We inspect the project and available exports, map the collections, forms and motion that must survive, then recreate the agreed templates on your chosen stack. Editors get a working publishing flow; engineers get components they can maintain.

  • Audit

    Every page, breakpoint, component, CMS collection, animation, form, plugin and code snippet listed, with the URLs that earn visits. Needs Editor access to the Framer project, plus analytics and search console.

    Done when Every page, animation and collection carries a verdict — recreate, simplify or retire — and you have signed the list off.

  • Stack and model

    A new home picked for whoever edits the site — often Astro with a headless CMS — and the Framer collections mapped into it. Needs Who edits today, and what they must still change without a developer.

    Done when Your design owner and editors sign off the stack, the collection mapping and the editing flow.

  • Recreate

    Design tokens and components first, then each page at every Framer breakpoint, compared side by side with the live site. Needs The Framer project as the design source, and a designer who approves the match.

    Done when Your designer approves each page against its Framer original at every breakpoint, and it passes keyboard, contrast and speed checks.

  • Motion, content and forms

    Key animations redone in light CSS or code; CMS items imported, images downloaded, and forms moved to a new handler. Needs The animations that matter to you, and test access to the tools the forms feed.

    Done when Agreed animations run smoothly and switch off for reduced motion, item counts match, and every form arrives.

  • Switch

    The domain pointed away from Framer once redirects are live and publishing is paused, then broken links and indexing tracked after the move. Needs DNS access, a pause on publishing in Framer, and a named person who decides on the day.

    Done when Every inventoried URL has its approved keep, redirect or retirement outcome, monitoring is live, and the Framer project stays ready to reconnect through the agreed recovery window.

  • Hand over

    Editors walked through the new workflow; the runbook and redirect map handed over. Needs The people who will edit the site.

    Done when Your team publishes a page and a CMS item on its own. The Framer plan is cancelled after the agreed recovery window and checks for remaining asset, form and account dependencies.

Who owns what

ANODA builds

  • The audit of pages, breakpoints, components, CMS and animations
  • The new stack, content model and editing workflow
  • Pages and components recreated in code at every breakpoint
  • Animations, forms and integrations rebuilt
  • CMS items and images moved, redirects and metadata set

Your team owns

  • The Framer project and plan until the switch
  • Domain, DNS and email records
  • The new host and CMS subscriptions that replace the Framer plan
  • Design sign-off on each recreated page, and the go-live call
  • Editing and publishing after the handover

Platforms and tools provide

  • Framer — its CMS export and hosting until the domain moves
  • The new host and CMS, and their uptime
  • Search engines, which re-index the rebuilt pages whenever they choose

When moving off Framer is the right step

It fits when the site has outgrown the tool it was launched with. Four signs it is the right step now.

  • The site outgrew its launch

    Dozens of pages, a growing blog or several languages now sit on a tool built for fast launches.

  • Plan limits keep biting

    CMS items, locales, bandwidth or seats push you up the pricing tiers.

  • Engineers want it in the codebase

    Components shared with the product, code review and versioning now matter more.

  • The design is worth keeping

    The look works, and the move should carry it over rather than reinvent it.

Scope, access and who does what

The pages, animations to keep, collections and the new stack are agreed before anything is rebuilt.

Scope
Custom fixed or phased, set in the proposal
Timeline
Agreed after scope, access and dependencies
Discuss your migration

  1. You provide

    The Framer project
    Editor access, the plan you are on, and any plugins, code components or locales in use.
    Why you are leaving
    More content, cost, plan limits, or code your engineers want to own.
    A design owner
    Someone who can approve that each recreated page matches the original.
    The connections
    The forms, analytics, CRM and scripts the site feeds today.

  2. Who does what

    ANODA
    Takes the Framer project apart page by page, recreates it in code, brings the CMS across, runs the switch and shows your editors the new workflow.
    Your team
    Grants access, approves each recreated page, decides what is simplified and makes the go-live call.
    Your providers
    Framer serves the site until the switch, after which the new host and CMS do; your tools stay connected throughout.

  3. Boundaries

    Outside a Framer migration
    A redesign, new copy, new illustration or 3D work, and new platform or hosting fees.
    After the switch
    Your team edits and publishes. Support, new pages or a next phase each get a separate scope.

    Framer Migration: common questions

    How do we know it is time to take our site off Framer?

    When the site has become more than a launch page: a growing blog or resource library, several languages, integrations that need real code, or engineers who want the site in the same repository and review process as the product. Plan limits on CMS items, locales or seats are another signal. If designers still reshape the site every week and it is mostly marketing pages, Framer is doing its job, and Framer Development is the better call.

    Can we export our Framer site as code?

    We inspect the project and available exports before choosing what to reuse. CMS data can be exported through plugins into CSV or JSON. For replatforming, the deliverable is a site your team can keep changing: collections mapped into the new CMS, templates organised as components, motion and forms connected, and the publishing workflow tested. We compare the first recreated page with your approved Framer design before extending the build.

    Will our look, CMS content and rankings survive a Framer migration?

    The design is kept by rebuilding from the Framer project at each of its breakpoints and comparing every page side by side with the live site before sign-off. Content is kept by importing the CMS collections and downloading every image, so nothing still loads from Framer. Search traffic is protected by keeping URLs where possible, redirecting the rest, carrying titles, descriptions and headings over, and watching errors and coverage after the switch. We follow search coverage after the switch and fix migration errors as the new pages are crawled.

    What happens to our Framer animations and interactions?

    We list them all in the audit, and you choose which carry the brand and which are decoration. The ones that matter are redone in light CSS or small scripts, tuned to feel the same, and switched off for visitors who ask for reduced motion. Heavy scroll effects that slow pages down are usually simplified, with your sign-off. The aim is the same impression with less weight.

    Can our designers still work in Framer after the move?

    Yes, as a design tool rather than the live site. Many teams keep Framer or Figma for exploring new pages, then hand the approved design over to be built from the site's own components. For routine changes — a new case study, a job post, an updated price — editors use the new CMS directly, with no designer or developer in the loop. What changes is that the published site no longer depends on a Framer plan, and new sections are added to the component library rather than drawn from scratch.

    What do Framer migration services include?

    Framer replatforming from start to finish: we audit the project, pick the stack and CMS with you, map the collections, recreate pages and components in code, rebuild the animations that matter, move CMS items and images, reconnect forms and integrations, set redirects and metadata, rehearse the switch with a way back, and train your editors.

    What do you need from us to start?

    Editor access to the Framer project and its current plan, plus any plugins, code components or locales it relies on. Analytics and search console, the destinations of your forms, and a design owner to approve each recreated page. One approver for the stack, the redirects and go-live, and a DNS contact available on the day.

    What do we get at handover, and can you continue after the move?

    The recreated site in a repository and host you own, your collections in the new CMS, the Framer audit, the tested redirect map, a runbook for publishing and rolling back, and an editor session. Cancel the Framer plan after the agreed recovery window and checks for any remaining dependencies. We can continue with new pages, carry on building on Astro, or run usability testing on the key paths, each scoped separately.

    What decides the scope, timeline and price?

    The number of pages and breakpoints, how many components and CMS collections there are, which animations are kept, the forms, plugins and integrations, locales, and how many URLs need redirects. We set a custom scope and estimate in the proposal, fixed or phased, and agree the timeline once scope, access and dependencies are clear.

    What sits outside the migration, and what can we review first?

    A redesign, new copy, new illustration or 3D work, and new platform, hosting or third-party fees are separate. Your first review covers the project inventory, collection mapping and a complete recreated page with its form or CMS workflow. That gives your design owner and editors something useful to approve before the rest of the site is rebuilt.
