Official docs: SvelteKit Documentation
All-in-one workspace for notes, docs, and wikis. Teams already using Notion who want to repurpose it as a lightweight CMS, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.
Not designed as a CMS — API has rate limits and no webhooks
This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Notion. SvelteKit eliminates this issue entirely.
Page load speeds make it unsuitable for public-facing sites
With SvelteKit, svelte compiles to vanilla js — smallest possible bundle sizes.
No built-in SEO, sitemap, or structured metadata
Modern architectures like SvelteKit are designed to avoid this from the ground up.
Content formatting doesn't translate cleanly to web standards
After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — SvelteKit takes a fundamentally different approach.
Full-stack Svelte framework with SSR and SSG. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript (Svelte), it's teams wanting excellent performance with a simpler, more intuitive framework.
Svelte compiles to vanilla JS — smallest possible bundle sizes
Intuitive syntax — easier to learn than React or Vue
Excellent developer experience with fast HMR
File-based routing with SSR, SSG, and SPA modes
SvelteKit 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.

A detailed breakdown of how your Notion content maps to SvelteKit
What may need manual attention
Custom server-side logic, third-party integrations, and platform-specific plugins will need equivalent solutions in SvelteKit. The core content (text, images, metadata) transfers cleanly.
Migrate your content in three simple steps
Enter your Notion site URL — LeaveWP connects automatically.
Select SvelteKit as destination and choose content options.
Download your migrated content or preview it in your browser.
Migrating from Notion to SvelteKit makes the most sense if you're experiencing not designed as a cms — api has rate limits and no webhooks or outgrowing Notion's architecture. SvelteKit is best for teams wanting excellent performance with a simpler, more intuitive framework.
You should migrate if: your Notion 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 Notion site benefits from extremely flexible — databases, wikis, docs, and kanban in one tool and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Notion is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Notion URL, select SvelteKit, and download your content. The more important question is whether SvelteKit's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
