Webflow comes in there, giving users a visual, and an all- (in-one) solution that fits prime individuals in creative teams and those companies that are expanding.

Steps For Migrating From Contentful To Webflow

It is not a migration of content in Contentful; it is a migration of thought into Webflow. We have listed the steps of the process clearly and actionable in the below section with more specific details related to CMS migration. Now let us get down to details.

‍

‍

Step 1: Preparation—Laying the Groundwork

The most important things before you even touch any line of content are preparation. You can imagine that you have to clear out all of your old and out-dated home to fit into a sparkly new one.

‍

‍

Test What You have

Examine your Contentful configuration. What is the number of content type (e.g. blog posts, pages, products)? How is your URL sequence?

‍

‍

Design Your Webflow

Make a choice on how you want Webflow to appear. Are you going to redesign or replicate? Page and CMS collections sketch.

‍

‍

Backup Everything

Export all your content with Contentful or API. Don t lose anything in the middle of the migration surprisingly.

‍

‍

Step 2: Downloading Contentful files

Contentful does not provide you with a fancy package of your data, so here you should roll up your sleeves.

‍

Take advantage of the API

Write a script or take advantage of Contentful Management API to bring your content in JSON format. This will provide you with all of that, including text, images, metadata.

‍

‍

Consider Third-Party Tools

It can be table speeded up using tools such as the Contentful Export CLI, spewing out your data into an organized file.

‍

‍

Cleaning of data

JSON that you will export will not be an identical match with the Webflow CMS. Import it into CSV or edit it to fit into the structure of fields in Webflow.

‍

‍

Step 3: How to create your Webflow project

Alright, the time to construct your new home in Webflow comes. Here the fun starts!

‍

Open New Project

Sign in to Webflow, use a ready template or create a new one. Make your project memorable.

‍

‍

Make CMS Collections

Remember collections in Webflow are similar to content types in Contentful. Create sets of blogs, product or whatever you are migrating. Define fields (title, slug, image etc).

‍

‍

Web Design

Drag and drop editor in Webflow lets you create your layouts. Film it up with animations or interactions.

‍

‍

Step 4: Importing content in Webflow

That is where your Webflow Contentful migration becomes real. So now you have your content, it is time to get it into Webflow.

‍

Setup CSV Files

Webflow adores CSVs on imports into the CMS. Export your Contentful data to CSV files, a file each collection. Enter all the categories such as titles, descriptions, and URLs of the image.

‍

‍

Field mapping

Upload CSV to Webflow CMS and align the column with the respective field. Re-verify rich and media links.

‍

‍

Native mobile development: Use the API (Optional)

To be able to script the import, Webflow API can be used in case of large-scale data or when automating.

This is convenient to migrate Contentful to Webflow with thousands of objects.

‍

‍

Step 5 Testing and Launching

You haven't quite gotten there yet! Publishing ought to be done after everything is perfect.

‍

Look through the Site

Make sure to check each of the pages. Are contents presented correctly? Is loading of images happening? Test also on mobile.

‍

‍

Fix Functionality

Test forms, links and buttons. Cracked components may be frustrating to the user and damaging to the SEO.

‍

‍

Redirects: Set up

In case of changes to URLs (e.g. w/ blog/post-1 to w/ posts/post-1), you can make 301 redirects in Webflow and continue the smooth SEO radical.

‍

‍

Go Live

Publish your  site and present your sitemap to Google Search Console. Congratulations on your sparkly Webflow page!

‍

‍

Challenges Which Arise During Migration

No migrant comes without its hitch. These are the most common pitfalls in Contentful to Webflow migrations and their ways to avoid them:

‍

Data Mismatch

A flexible arrangement of Contentful does not always get along with Webflow CMS. Solution? Plan very carefully and test imports in advance.

‍

‍

SEO Risks

You might drop or rise in your ranking when you change the platform. You can save them using redirects to redirect old to new URLs and updating meta tags.

‍

‍

Formatting Woes

After the migration, rich text or in-line media can become wonky. Vary these by hand in Webflow to taste.

‍

‍

Integration Headaches
