Built to be hosted by Framer
Framer’s help center says it doesn’t offer HTML export for self-hosting, because published sites rely on services running on Framer’s own infrastructure.

Framer to Next.js, with your design and URLs intact.
A Framer site isn’t a codebase your developers can take and keep building on, so moving to Next.js means rebuilding it. We recreate your design in Next.js, move your CMS content, keep your URLs, and monitor search for 90 days after launch.
Who this Framer to Next.js migration is for
A good fit
- Startups whose Framer marketing site now needs to live alongside the product codebase
- Teams that need custom integrations or app logic Framer can’t run
- Content-heavy sites outgrowing Framer’s CMS
Probably not a fit
- Design-led teams who publish often in Framer and are happy with it
- Sites that depend on complex Framer animations as the core experience
Why teams move off Framer
Framer is excellent for design-led launches. Teams usually leave when the site needs to behave like part of the product.
CMS content leaves through plugins
Framer’s help center says CMS content is exported with plugins into formats such as CSV or JSON, ready to import into another system.

Marketing site meets product
As a startup grows, the website needs shared components, gated content, and data from the app. That’s easier in the same Next.js stack as the product.
What moves from Framer to Next.js
CMS content moves through an export. The design is rebuilt as code, matched to the live site.
| Item | What happens | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Page designs | Rebuilt | Rebuilt as React components, matched to the live site on desktop, tablet, and mobile. |
| CMS collections | Moves unchanged | Exported to CSV or JSON and imported into your new CMS or into content files in the codebase. |
| Images and files | Moves unchanged | Downloaded and re-hosted so nothing depends on your Framer project. |
| SEO settings | Moves unchanged | Titles, descriptions, and social images carried over page by page. |
| Animations and effects | Rebuilt | Recreated with CSS or the Motion animation library where they support the page. |
| Forms and embeds | Rebuilt | Reconnected to the same inbox, CRM, or third-party tool. |
Redirects and URLs
What to watch when leaving Framer
Framer URLs are simple, and Next.js uses the same style without a trailing slash, so most can stay identical. The risks are assets and CMS paths.
CMS item paths
CMS pages live under a collection path you chose in Framer. We keep it so item URLs don’t change.
Framer-hosted assets
Images served from Framer’s servers need to be re-hosted before the Framer site is unpublished.
Framer subdomain
If the site was ever live on a Framer address such as yoursite.framer.website, we unpublish it or leave a page there that sends visitors to your domain, so Google doesn’t keep a second copy.
Existing redirects
Redirects set up in Framer’s settings are exported and recreated in Next.js.

“From” is the starting price for the kind of site described. Prices depend on your site’s size and setup. You get a quote before any work starts, and we don’t bill by the hour.
Our SEO migration guarantee
Nobody can promise rankings after a migration, and we don’t. We commit in writing to the process that protects them.
Every known page is mapped
Every address we find in your sitemap, Search Console, analytics, and backlinks gets a destination: a matching page, the closest match, or a planned removal. You see the full list before launch.
Nothing breaks by accident
Pages you choose to retire are removed on purpose. If any other old link stops working after launch, we fix it.
90 days of monitoring
We watch which pages Google indexes, any errors it reports, and traffic to your moved pages for 90 days, with a report at 30, 60, and 90 days.
We fix our mistakes for free
If something we missed or broke causes a problem in those 90 days, we fix it at no cost.
The guarantee covers our work. It doesn’t cover Google algorithm updates, content you change after launch, pages removed at your request, or problems caused by your host, third-party plugins, or other vendors.
When you should stay on Framer
If your team designs and publishes in Framer every week and the site doesn’t need app data or custom logic, staying on Framer makes sense. Move when the site has to share code, data, or accounts with your product, or when the CMS is holding your content back.

Common questions about moving from Framer to Next.js.
Can I export my Framer site and host it myself?+
Not in a form your developers can keep building on. Framer’s help center says it doesn’t offer HTML export for self-hosting, so the design is rebuilt in Next.js and the CMS content is moved through an export.
Will the site look the same?+
Yes for layout, content, and responsive behavior. Complex Framer animations are rebuilt, and we tell you before work starts if any can’t be matched exactly.
Will our URLs change?+
Usually not. We keep page and CMS paths the same and recreate any existing redirects.
Will we lose our Google rankings?+
When URLs and titles stay the same, Google has little to re-learn. The main risks on this move are images left on Framer’s servers and a leftover Framer subdomain, which we handle at launch. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings.
Can we move to WordPress instead?+
Yes. That’s a separate migration with its own page and price: Framer to WordPress, from $3,500.
How long does it take?+
Most Framer sites with up to 20 pages take three to five weeks.
