I am a certified Webflow developer, so I know exactly where Webflow's CMS limits, pricing curve, and export gaps start to hurt. When your team outgrows it, I rebuild your site in Astro with Sanity or MDX: pixel accurate, every URL preserved, rankings intact. From $1,250, fixed quote after a free audit.
Webflow is a great builder until the bills, CMS limits, and lock-in start taxing growth. Astro gives you speed and full ownership without losing your design or your team's ability to edit content.
Astro ships almost no JavaScript by default. Marketing pages routinely reach high 90s in Lighthouse, which builder platforms rarely match under real content loads.
The site lives in your GitHub as clean Astro components. No platform lock-in, no proprietary CMS format, and any developer can work on it.
Static Astro sites run on Netlify or Cloudflare for $0 to $20 per month, with no per-seat fees. Builder hosting bills grow as your team does.
Sanity gives editors a visual studio. MDX keeps content in markdown files for free. We pick the right one in the audit, and your content stays yours either way.
Your current design is rebuilt pixel accurate, with animations recreated in GSAP. Visitors will not notice the platform changed, only that pages load faster.
Structured content, clean schema, and a git repo make AI workflows practical: assisted drafting, agent access to your content, and answer engine optimization.

They reached out to me with a 80+ pages Figma design for a new website for their company.
I worked closely with the CEO to meticulously transform their extensive Figma design into a fully functional, responsive Webflow site. Given the complexity and the sheer volume of over 80 pages, the project spanned approximately 1.5 months.
I inventory your Webflow site and map:
You get a fixed quote and a migration risk map. If staying on Webflow is the honest answer, I say so here.
Your CMS content comes out through the Webflow API into Sanity or MDX. You review the field by field mapping before the build starts, so nothing is lost in translation.
I rebuild your design as clean Astro components, matching it one to one or improving it where you want. Animations are recreated with GSAP. You get weekly preview links, not status reports.
Launch protects everything you have earned:
The switch happens at a quiet hour with your old site ready as a fallback.
