Why Teams Leave Agility CMS

Headless CMS with page management built in. Teams wanting headless CMS with traditional page/sitemap management, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Smaller community and ecosystem than major headless CMS options

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Agility CMS. Nuxt eliminates this issue entirely.

No free tier — requires paid subscription from day one

With Nuxt, auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate.

Limited documentation compared to Contentful or Sanity

Modern architectures like Nuxt are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

Fewer framework integrations available

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Nuxt takes a fundamentally different approach.

What Nuxt Brings to the Table

Vue.js framework for SSR, SSG, and full-stack apps. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js), it's vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.

Auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate

Hybrid rendering — SSR, SSG, ISR, and SWR per route

Nuxt Content module for Git-based Markdown content

Large Vue.js ecosystem and module library

Nuxt is open-source and free to use. You own your code and data with no vendor lock-in. Deploy to any host that supports JavaScript/TypeScript, or use managed platforms like Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deployments.

Is Agility CMS to Nuxt the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Agility CMS to Nuxt makes the most sense if you're experiencing smaller community and ecosystem than major headless cms options or outgrowing Agility CMS's architecture. Nuxt is best for vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.

You should migrate if: your Agility CMS site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need developer flexibility, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Agility CMS site benefits from page management and sitemap built into the headless cms and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Agility CMS is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Agility CMS URL, select Nuxt, and download your content. The more important question is whether Nuxt's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Agility CMS to Nuxt?
Most migrations from Agility CMS complete in 20-40 minutes. We pull content via Agility CMS's Content Fetch API, then structured for Nuxt. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Agility CMS?
No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Agility CMS URLs to preserve search rankings. Nuxt actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.
What Agility CMS content can be migrated to Nuxt?
Agility CMS content types like pages, content items, media, sitemaps are all migrated to Nuxt. Content is converted to Markdown/MDX files or structured for your chosen headless CMS.
Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?
No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Nuxt site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js) knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.
How much does it cost to host a Nuxt site after migrating from Agility CMS?
Nuxt sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Agility CMS's $47+/month pricing, static Nuxt sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Agility CMS instance.
Can I migrate Agility CMS custom fields and metadata to Nuxt?
Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Agility CMS are preserved during migration. In Nuxt, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
