    Switching

    Moving from Webflow

    You don't have to move everything at once. Hiveku can work with your Webflow site while you decide.

    1. 1

      Keep Webflow while you start

      Hiveku can manage your Webflow site directly: pages, SEO, CMS, forms and publishing, with Hiveku's tracking installed.

    2. 2

      Move the site when you're ready

      Site import rebuilds your pages, content, images and SEO as a Hiveku site, and redirects keep old URLs working. Webflow's code export leaves out CMS content and forms, so importing from the live site is simpler.

    3. 3

      Bring your forms and leads

      Form capture picks up every form on the new site automatically and turns each submission into a CRM contact.
