Official docs: Webflow Developer Docs · Nuxt Documentation
Visual web development platform with clean code output. Designers who want pixel-perfect control without writing code, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.
Steep learning curve for non-designers (CSS concepts required)
This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Webflow. Nuxt eliminates this issue entirely.
CMS is limited to 10,000 items on the highest plan
With Nuxt, auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate.
No server-side logic — relies on third-party integrations
Modern architectures like Nuxt are designed to avoid this from the ground up.
Per-site pricing adds up for agencies managing multiple clients
After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Nuxt takes a fundamentally different approach.
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.

A detailed breakdown of how your Webflow content maps to Nuxt
What may need manual attention
Visual layouts and custom animations built in Webflow's editor will need to be recreated in Nuxt. The content and text transfers, but the visual design is platform-specific.
Migrate your content in three simple steps
Enter your Webflow site URL — LeaveWP connects automatically.
Select Nuxt as destination and choose content options.
Download your migrated content or preview it in your browser.
Migrating from Webflow to Nuxt makes the most sense if you're experiencing steep learning curve for non-designers (css concepts required) or outgrowing Webflow's architecture. Nuxt is best for vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.
You should migrate if: your Webflow site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need more control over your code, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.
You might want to stay if: your Webflow site benefits from generates clean, semantic html/css — no code bloat and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team.
The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Webflow 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.
