A Framer alternative: no export, and we can still move your site

Your Framer site looks great. Leaving is the hard part: Framer doesn't offer HTML export for self-hosting, and the usual advice is to build it again. We start from your published site, so we don't need an export.

Moving a Framer site to SQRL without an export

Three ways out of Framer

Build it again

Reliable, but you're paying for a design you already have. And someone has to move the content by hand.

A third-party plugin

The marketplace has unofficial plugins that download code or a static copy. Useful as a backup. They won't add an admin or forms in a system, though. And check their license and data handling yourself.

Move to SQRL

We go through the site and rebuild it 1:1 from blocks. Seeding, which fills the site with data automatically, adds the text and images. You get a finished site with an admin.

What you get beyond a static copy

A copy of a page looks fine until the first change. Then you need a developer. Moving to SQRL adds what a static copy can't do:

  • Edit text and images right on the page
  • Forms store messages in the admin
  • CMS content lives in items with fields and filters
  • Run the site through AI and MCP, the connection between AI and your website
Editing a heading directly on the live page

What turns into what

In SQRL
Pages and components Blocks in the site's theme
CMS collections Content types with declared fields
Forms Form builder
Localization Language versions in the core
Framer hosting Ours, yours, or a regular provider

When to stay on Framer

Your site is mainly a presentation

A few pages, a focus on design, and content that rarely changes. Framer is excellent at that.

A designer runs the site

If Framer is their everyday tool, moving won't make their job easier.

You don't mind hosting on the platform

Then there's no reason to change anything.

FAQ

Simple ones do. We handle more complex animations case by case and tell you up front.

We only move a website with its owner's consent.

The step-by-step process is on the Migrate to SQRL page.

Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings. Whatever can stay at the same address does, and the rest gets a 301, a permanent redirect.
