Want More Power? Webflow vs. HTML
When to Consider Moving to Webflow
As your needs grow:
Stay with HTML if:
- You're comfortable with code
- You don't need visual editing

Move to Webflow if:

- You need CMS for content management
- You want built-in hosting
- You need forms and integrations
- You want easier collaboration
- You want professional support
Migration Process
If moving from HTML to Webflow:
1. Purchase Webflow template
2. Clone into your Webflow account
3. Migrate your content
4. Redirect old domain to new site
5. Discontinue old hosting
