Should you move?
Answer a few quick questions to find out whether you're better suited to Webflow, or to a custom stack like Astro. We'll be honest if the answer is to stay put.
Question 1 of 5
Who updates the site, day to day?
Webflow vs Astro
Both build great websites (as a certified Webflow partner, we've built many production-grade sites for startups and companies across the world). Here's where each one comes out ahead.
| Compared on | Webflow | Astro |
|---|---|---|
| Editing | Visual designer (down to preference) | Code, edited with AI (down to preference) |
| Getting started | No code needed (Webflow is stronger here) | Needs a developer |
| Content | Built-in CMS (Webflow is stronger here) | Repo or headless CMS |
| Page speed | Fast, with tuning | Fast by default (Astro is stronger here) |
| AI editing | Webflow's own AI tools | Claude Code, Cursor, any tool (Astro is stronger here) |
| Custom features | Embeds and workarounds | Anything you can build (Astro is stronger here) |
| Hosting | Webflow only | Anywhere you like (Astro is stronger here) |
| Ownership | Locked to the platform | Your own Git repo (Astro is stronger here) |
| Running cost | Monthly plan and seats | Free, or close to it (Astro is stronger here) |
What it costs, long term
Set the plan, editors and timeframe to match your own setup.
Paid editor seats
Save £684 over 3 years
Approximate prices in pounds, billed yearly, based on Webflow's published plans and on Render and Cloudflare hosting. Check current pricing before deciding. Doesn't include add-ons like localisation, or the one-off cost of migrating.
Why teams are leaving Webflow for Astro
AI made code the easy option
The case for a visual builder was that code was hard to change. With Claude Code, Cursor and the like, updating a page is now a sentence, not a ticket.
Running costs that stop climbing
Site plans, seats and add-ons add up as a team grows. A static Astro site hosts for free or close to it, however many people edit it.
Fast without the fuss
Astro sends HTML first and JavaScript only where it's needed, so fast pages are the default rather than something to tune for.
No more platform ceilings
CMS item caps, collection limits, awkward embeds. In Astro, if it can be built for the web, it can be built into your site.
Your site, in your repo
Everything lives in Git. Every change is reviewable, every mistake reversible, and nothing is locked to one vendor.
Ready for AI search
Clean, semantic HTML and structured data that search engines and answer engines can read, understand and cite.
How we migrate you
As a certified Webflow partner, we know Webflow inside out: how to get everything out of it, and what's worth bringing across to Astro. Four steps, and you're only needed for the first and the last.
Send us your site link
Share your Webflow URL. We map every page, CMS collection, form and integration, then confirm the scope, the timeline and anything worth leaving behind.
We rebuild every page, cleanly
Your design, rebuilt in Astro as tidy, reusable components. CMS content moves across into structured collections. It's imported, not copied and pasted.
We check every page, tag and redirect
Each URL is checked against the original: titles, meta descriptions, social images, structured data, 301 redirects and every imported CMS item. Nothing launches until it matches.
You get the repo, and a way to keep going
We hand over the code, the hosting and a short guide to updating your site with AI. Instructions written into the repo keep the AI working within your design system.
Ongoing support, if you need it
Most teams run on their own after handover. If you'd rather not, we're here.
Help when you need it
Send a request when something comes up, like a new page, a new section or a tricky integration, and we'll pick it up and ship it.
Monthly care
We keep dependencies current, watch speed and uptime, and handle small changes each month, so the site never drifts.
AI tooling, kept sharp
As the site grows, we keep the repo's AI instructions up to date, so whoever's editing gets changes that fit your design.
Room to grow
When you need more than a website, whether that's an app, a dashboard or a product, the team that built your site can build that too.
