HTML to Webflow Migration

We rebuild a hand-coded HTML website in Webflow, recreating the layout and the responsive styles (the rules that adapt each page to phones, tablets and desktops) in the Webflow Designer. Pages that repeat one structure, such as articles or team profiles, become CMS Collections (editable lists with set fields) instead of separate manual pages.

01Choose

Choose what you want to change

Are you after easier updates through Collections, a rebuilt responsive layout, or new forms and features? Select the parts that apply to see what each involves in Webflow.

Where this startsWe want a designed, responsive site we can update visually, and our HTML files make every repeated page a manual job.

Choose one part, several parts or the whole project

Plan the complete move to WebflowTake the whole HTML site through layout, Collections, forms, testing and launch.

Check first: We confirm which pages repeat a structure and which are one-offs.

Next: Bring the site address, the pages you add to most and any forms you use.

- Links between Collections planned where they are needed
Check first: We confirm which kinds of page your team adds or updates most often.

In plain terms

CMS Collection: An editable list of items with set fields, where one template page shows every item.
Responsive styles: Rules that adjust a page's layout for phones, tablets and desktops.
Redirect: An instruction that sends visitors from an old web address to the new one.

02Collections

Decide which pages become Collections

The test is simple: if your team adds or edits these pages again and again, a Collection saves work. If a page is unique, it stays a normal page.

Repeated pages on your site

Normal pages, designed individually

Fields that link one Collection to another, such as an author to an article, need setting up deliberately. For a wider choice of destinations, see Website Migration Services.

03Rebuild

Rebuild the layout and styles by hand

Webflow is built on visual design tools, so your HTML and CSS act as a reference, not as something we paste in. We recreate the grid, type, spacing and image handling, then set how the page behaves at each screen width.

Interactions and animations are rebuilt and tested rather than assumed. Embedded code and tracking tags are reviewed one at a time, and forms are recreated with the submissions path agreed first.

04Testing

Test every screen width and every Collection item

Open the sample pages at phone, tablet and desktop widths.
Check a Collection item with the longest title and one with a missing image.
Confirm the template page looks right for a brand-new item.
Submit each form and trace the message to its inbox.
Ask an editor to add an item, publish it and see it appear.

05Launch

Plan old addresses, the domain and publishing

Each old page address needs a redirect (a rule that forwards visitors from the old address to its new page), and we map them before launch. We confirm how redirects are managed in your Webflow plan. Collection pages get new address patterns, so the map is worth building early.

We agree who connects the domain, who publishes and who checks the live site afterwards. We watch search performance after launch and make no ranking promise. If you want a different editing system later, see Headless CMS Development.

Questions about moving HTML to Webflow

Can I import my HTML and CSS into Webflow?

We do not rely on that. We rebuild the layout in the Designer, using your files as the guide.

Do all repeated pages need to be Collections?

No. It depends on how often your team adds or changes them. A few stable pages are often simpler as normal pages.

Can I export the Webflow site later?

Partly. Code export on paid Workspace plans gives a ZIP of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images, but leaves out CMS content and form processing. Collections can be exported as CSV separately.

Will my forms keep working?

Not automatically. We rebuild each form and test where its submissions arrive.

Rebuild in Webflow for a clear reason

Send us your site and tell us which pages you add to most often. We will assess the layout, propose the Collections and agree the plan before building. Our WordPress Website Design service is the alternative if you prefer a different editor.
