Why Teams Leave Webflow

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. SvelteKit eliminates this issue entirely.

CMS is limited to 10,000 items on the highest plan

With SvelteKit, svelte compiles to vanilla js — smallest possible bundle sizes.

No server-side logic — relies on third-party integrations

Modern architectures like SvelteKit 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 — SvelteKit takes a fundamentally different approach.

What SvelteKit Brings to the Table

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.

Is Webflow to SvelteKit the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Webflow to SvelteKit makes the most sense if you're experiencing steep learning curve for non-designers (css concepts required) or outgrowing Webflow's architecture. SvelteKit is best for teams wanting excellent performance with a simpler, more intuitive framework.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Webflow to SvelteKit?
Most migrations from Webflow complete in 10-20 minutes. We pull content via Webflow's CMS API, then structured for SvelteKit. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Webflow?
No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Webflow URLs to preserve search rankings. SvelteKit actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.
What Webflow content can be migrated to SvelteKit?
Webflow content types like CMS collections, pages, blog posts, e-commerce products are all migrated to SvelteKit. 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 SvelteKit site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript (Svelte) 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 SvelteKit site after migrating from Webflow?
SvelteKit sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Webflow's Free / $14-39/month pricing, static SvelteKit sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Webflow instance.
Can I migrate Webflow custom fields and metadata to SvelteKit?
Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Webflow are preserved during migration. In SvelteKit, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
