Framer to Next.js migration

Convert Framer to Next.js.

Move the design, animations, content, important URLs, and search signals into an agent-ready codebase your team owns. Start with a 1-1 clone of your homepage, review it, then migrate the rest of the site.

A complete Framer migration

Move every part that makes the site work.

A Framer site combines the canvas, breakpoint rules, Motion effects, CMS data, forms, fonts, scripts, routes, and publishing services. A complete move gives each part a clear home in the new codebase.

Why other migration methods fail

01

The homepage matches. The CMS pages are still missing.

Collection data, references, dynamic routes, and publishing behavior need their own place in the new site.

02

The layout matches. The motion feels wrong.

Breakpoint overrides and interactive states need to be recorded, rebuilt, and reviewed on the real page.

03

The form is visible. The submission goes nowhere.

Fields, validation, success states, spam protection, and lead delivery all need to be reconnected.

04

The menu looks right. Crawlers miss its links.

Important routes and content need to appear in the page HTML so search engines and AI agents can find them.

The better end state

Same website. More room to move.

Visitors keep the design and movement they know. Search engines keep the paths and signals that matter. Your growth team gets an owned repository it can update with an AI coding agent and review before every release.

Keep

The Framer experience people already recognize.

  • Custom design and motion
  • Proven copy and content
  • Valuable public URLs
Gain

A site your team and its agents can keep improving.

  • Owned code and deployment
  • Agent instructions and context
  • Reviewable releases

What needs to move

Account for every part of your Framer site.

List the pages, responsive rules, motion, content, forms, integrations, and URLs before the build begins. Each item gets a clear next step.

01

Pages and components

Framer pages, repeated sections, and shared components

Turn each public page into a clear Next.js route. Rebuild repeated navigation, sections, and layouts as reusable components your team can edit across the site.

  • Page list
  • Shared components
  • Reusable sections
02

Breakpoints and stacks

Desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts

Map Framer stacks, fixed layers, text styles, and breakpoint overrides into responsive components and design tokens. Review the real page at each screen size.

  • Stack behavior
  • Breakpoint overrides
  • Type and spacing
03

Effects and Motion

Appear effects, scroll motion, and interactive states

Record the movement people recognize, then recreate scroll transforms, hover and tap states, layout changes, marquees, and page transitions in the new site.

  • Motion recordings
  • Hover and tap states
  • Page transitions
04

CMS Collections

Collection data and every page it powers

Move collection fields and content, then rebuild slugs, references, rich text, images, filters, pagination, and collection pages in the new content setup.

  • CMS export
  • Dynamic routes
  • Content references
05

Forms and integrations

Lead delivery, analytics, fonts, scripts, and embeds

Carry over every field and form state, reconnect the service that receives each lead, and review code components, analytics, fonts, videos, widgets, and custom scripts.

  • Form delivery
  • Tracking
  • Custom code and embeds
06

URLs and search

Redirects, metadata, links, and crawler access

Keep useful URLs, add direct redirects for changed paths, carry metadata forward, and make important content and navigation available in the page HTML.

  • URL map
  • SEO settings
  • AI crawler review

Step-by-step migration plan

Move your Framer site in five clear steps.

Each step ends with something your team can review before the next one begins.

  1. 01

    Record what exists

    List the pages and record the live Framer site.

    Crawl every public URL, capture the homepage at desktop, tablet, and mobile widths, and record important animations and interactive states.

    OutputPage list, screenshots, and motion recordings
  2. 02

    Plan the move

    Map the design system, content, and integrations.

    Turn colors, type, spacing, breakpoints, and repeated sections into clear tokens and components. Choose the new home for CMS content, forms, analytics, and scripts.

    OutputDesign tokens, component plan, and content map
  3. 03

    Review the first clone

    Clone the homepage and one CMS page first.

    Rebuild two complete pages with their responsive layouts and motion. Compare them with the source before creating the remaining routes.

    OutputDesktop, tablet, and mobile review of two pages
  4. 04

    Move the rest

    Build the remaining pages and reconnect each feature.

    Apply the approved components, import CMS content, restore forms and embeds, and add redirects and metadata for every public route.

    OutputComplete preview with working content and forms
  5. 05

    Go live

    Run final checks, move the domain, and watch the launch.

    Test routes, motion, forms, analytics, redirects, crawler access, and the sitemap. Connect the domain, then monitor search and lead delivery.

    OutputLaunch report, monitoring, and issue list

Copyable migration prompt

Start in a new Claude Code or Codex terminal.

Let your coding agent clone the starter, or run the setup in your CLI. Add your published Framer website and copy the ready-to-use steps.

migration-prompt.txt
I want to migrate my Framer website ([YOUR WEBSITE URL]) to Next.js using this starter: https://github.com/Synscribe/launch-template.

Clone the starter into a new folder and open it. Read README.md and AGENTS.md, then run /site-clone with my source URL. Follow the skill and stop at the first review checkpoint.

One detail first

What Framer website are you moving?

The migration is the starting point

Keep the new site easy to edit and maintain.

The Agentic Website Template gives marketing teams the instructions, reusable components, search foundations, and launch checks to keep improving the site after the move.

Read the Agentic Website manifesto

Clone any design

Keep the custom design and motion that made you choose Framer.

The clone workflow follows the website you already have, including bespoke layouts, breakpoint behavior, and important animations. Approved patterns become reusable Next.js components for the rest of the migration.

  • Complex layouts
  • Responsive states
  • Animation review

Stay visible

Help search engines and AI tools understand every important page.

Important copy and links arrive in the page HTML. Clear routes, metadata, structured data, sitemaps, and discovery files help crawlers find and understand the new site.

  • Server-rendered content
  • Explicit public routes
  • Discovery foundations

Keep marketing moving

Let your marketing team work directly with its coding agent.

Project instructions, goals, design tokens, brand voice, example content, and reusable components give Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor useful context for the next page request.

  • Rules stored with code
  • Reusable page patterns
  • Reviewable changes

Maintain it with confidence

Review every update before it reaches customers or crawlers.

The launch checklist and audit keep checking identity, public URLs, discoverability, forms, placeholders, and production settings as the site grows.

  • One launch checklist
  • Automated site audit
  • Safe preview defaults

Before you move

Framer migration questions

01Can Framer export my website as Next.js code?+

An editable Next.js repository comes from a separate migration. Third-party tools can capture published pages or export selected React pieces. A complete migration also rebuilds routes, content, forms, search settings, and the structure your team will maintain.

02Can the Next.js site keep the same Framer design?+

Yes. The visible design, responsive layouts, and motion can be recreated as Next.js components. Recording the site at each breakpoint gives the migration a clear reference for review.

03Can the Next.js version keep my Framer animations?+

Yes. Record each appear effect, scroll transform, hover or tap state, layout animation, marquee, and transition before the move. Complex code components and WebGL work need their own review and test plan.

04What happens to Framer CMS Collections?+

CMS data can be exported through Framer plugins. The new site still needs a content model, dynamic routes, collection layouts, references, images, filters, and a publishing workflow.

05Will moving from Framer affect SEO?+

Any site move can cause temporary search changes. Keep useful URLs, add direct permanent redirects, preserve titles and descriptions, update internal links, serve important content in the initial HTML, and monitor the launch in Search Console.

06When should I cancel my Framer plan?+

Keep the Framer project active while the new site is being reviewed. Switch the domain after pages, motion, forms, redirects, analytics, and search files pass production checks. Leave time to watch the new site before closing the old setup.

Keep the design. Change who controls it.

Move from Framer to an agent-ready Next.js codebase.
