Summary for busy people
Who is it for? Service companies, marketing agencies, startups needing a brand website or landing pages.
Main WP problem: Constant plugin updates, slow performance, the need to involve a programmer for simple text changes.
Why Framer? It's the end of worrying about technical infrastructure. You get a lightning-fast website (Global CDN), built-in security, and an editor that works like design software. Your marketing department can edit the site themselves in 15 minutes.
When NOT to change? If you run a large e-commerce store (thousands of products) or a portal with user login.
Our role: We transfer the design 1:1 (or make it better), migrate content, and set up redirects so you don't lose your ranking in Google.
Your website should be a lead-generating machine, not a source of technical problems. If you run a service business, you probably know this scenario: you want to quickly change the text on your landing page, but you're afraid that updating one plugin will "blow up" the entire site.
For years, WordPress was the default choice. However, in 2024 the rules of the game changed. More and more service companies, agencies, and startups are deciding to migrate from WordPress to Framer. Why? Because they are seeking speed, security, and full control over the design - without the need to constantly call a developer.
In this article, we'll explain whether Framer is the solution for you and how to safely move your site while maintaining your standing on Google.
As an agency awarded the title of Official Framer Expert, we know this platform inside out. We will guide you through this process safely, relying on proven standards, not guesswork.
Why are companies moving away from WordPress?
WordPress is a powerful tool, but for many small and medium enterprises, it has become too heavy and complicated. As experts, we observe three main reasons why our clients decide to change:
Technical debt and updates: The constant need to update plugins, themes, and PHP versions is an expensive obligation. Neglecting this risks failure or a hacker attack.
Performance speed: WordPress loaded with plugins often runs slowly. In an age where every second of loading decides about retaining a customer, speed is crucial.
Dependence on developers: A simple change to the "About Us" section in WordPress often requires meddling in code. Business owners want to regain independence.
What is Framer and why is it changing the rules?
Framer is a modern tool for building sites that combines the freedom of graphic design with powerful code generated in the background.
For a non-technical business owner, this means:
Visual editing: You see exactly what the client gets (WYSIWYG on steroids).
No plugins: No more "Plugin update required". Everything you need (forms, animations, CMS) is built in and maintained by Framer.
Security: Hosting and SSL certificates are on Framer's side. You handle the business, they handle the infrastructure.
WordPress vs Framer - What to choose for your business?
To help you decide, we have prepared a comparison of key differences from a business perspective.
Feature | WordPress | Framer |
|---|---|---|
Who is it for? | Portals, shops, forums, very extensive services. | Business sites, landing page, portfolios, blogs. |
Security | Your responsibility (requires supervision). | Built-in and maintenance-free. |
Content editing | Often complicated panel (backend). | Intuitive visual editor (canvas). |
Speed (SEO) | Depends on hosting and optimization. | Instant (Global CDN as standard). |
Costs | Hosting + domain + paid plugins + dev support. | Fixed subscription (includes hosting). |
When should you, and when shouldn't you migrate to Framer?
As a professional agency, we spell it out clearly: Framer is not a tool for everything.
✅ Migrate to Framer if:
You run a service business (B2B/B2C) and your goal is to generate leads.
You have a showcase site, portfolio, or company blog.
You care about unique design and animations that will set you apart from the competition.
You want your marketing department to be able to create new subpages independently in 15 minutes.
❌ Stay with WordPress if:
You run a large online store with thousands of products (WooCommerce).
You need very specific integrations with external systems that do not have APIs.
Is Framer good for SEO?
This is the most common question we hear. The answer is: Yes, Framer is excellent for SEO, and in many aspects, it exceeds WordPress.
Search engines (and AI like ChatGPT) love sites that load quickly and have clean code. Framer provides this as standard.
Core Web Vitals: Sites on Framer often achieve scores of 90-100/100 in Google tests without additional work.
Semantics: The code generated by Framer is readable for indexing robots.
Metadata management: You have full control over titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags (link appearance in social media).
Important: Changing tools alone does not guarantee success. The key is a correctly conducted migration so that you do not lose the established domain authority.
What does the migration process from WordPress to Framer look like?
Migration is not a simple "copy-paste". It's a process where we rebuild your online presence anew. As an Official Framer Expert, we guarantee compliance with the highest performance and SEO standards. In our agency, we carry this out in 4 steps:
Audit and Strategy: We analyze your current site. We decide which content to transfer and which needs refreshing. This is the perfect moment for tidying up.
Design and Development: We do not upload a ready-made template. We design and implement the site in Framer, ensuring "pixel-perfect" design and responsiveness on every screen.
Content Transfer (CMS): We migrate your blog posts and offers, retaining link structures where possible.
SEO Protection (301 Redirects): This is the most important technical point. We create a redirection map so that every old WordPress link leads to the corresponding place on the new site. This way, Google "knows" that the content has simply changed its address, and you don't lose traffic.
Summary: Regain control over your site
Migration from WordPress to Framer is a groundbreaking moment for many companies. It marks the end of technical problems, and the beginning of a time when the website truly supports sales and marketing. It's an investment in peace and the image of a modern company.
