Migrating from Framer to Payload.
We move teams off Framer and onto Payload, pages, assets, URLs and search rankings intact. Tell us what you're running below and we'll scope the move.
Teams usually leave Framer when the site has become a content operation the visual builder was not designed to carry: CMS collection and item caps, per-editor seat costs that compound as the team grows, no compliance-grade approval chain or exportable audit trail, and no content delivery API. Framer's Server API (open beta since March 2026) syncs and manages CMS data, but no REST or GraphQL endpoint serves published content to a mobile app, partner portal, or internal platform. The migration moves the content model into TypeScript and the CMS into a stack the team owns, with content served through a real API to every surface that needs it.
Content exports through Framer's official CMS Export plugin as CSV, or as JSON via the Import and Export plugin: text fields and metadata come out cleanly, rich text exports as HTML that is converted into Lexical, image references are re-ingested into the destination's storage, and references between collections need custom handling in the ETL scripts. The design system has no export path — components and interactions are proprietary — so the front end is rebuilt in the new stack, with Framer Motion covering the animation work, and every indexed URL either keeps its path or gets a redirect. WAYF works on both sides of the platform: a certified Framer Enterprise partner for the builds that fit it, and the engineering team for the moves beyond it.
Who runs the migration
We are a Payload partner agency and a top contributor to the project. When something in the platform needs attention, we have direct access to the maintainers.
We have run this kind of move at enterprise scale. We migrated Ingersoll Rand's China sites off Oracle Content Manager in five months, with zero downtime at cutover, and we built the Council of Europe Development Bank's events platform to the deadline of their 70-year anniversary.
The first conversation is a free consultation. Scope, cost, and timing are agreed before any work starts.
