Moving a site to Framer
A migration is not a redesign, and the two are usually sold as one thing. They are not. A redesign changes what the site says. A migration changes only where it lives — and almost all of the risk sits in three places nobody looks at until the site is already down.
Every address that changes is a page you lose
A site that has been running for years has an address for every page, and search engines have been sending people to those addresses for as long as it has existed. A new platform will not lay pages out the same way. Every address that moves without a redirect becomes a page nobody can reach — including the ones that were bringing you work.
We take a full list of the live addresses and the traffic each one carries, and write the redirect map against that list. Nothing is built until that file exists, because after launch it is guesswork.
If a page carried nothing for a year, we say so and let you decide whether it moves. Fewer, better pages is a decision. Losing them by accident is not.
The database does not come across on its own
Posts, projects, products, team members — anything that repeats lives in a structure, and that structure has to be rebuilt on the other side before a single entry can move. Done in the wrong order, the content arrives as flat pages and every future edit becomes hand work.
What carries over, in the order we do it:
- The collections themselves — fields, types, and what is required
- Entries, with their slugs kept wherever the old address is worth keeping
- Images, re-exported at the sizes the new layout actually asks for
- Titles, descriptions, and social cards, page by page — not generated in bulk
- Structured data, forms, and analytics, reconnected and then tested with a real submission
Editing afterwards is the point of the move. If your team cannot change a page without us, the migration failed regardless of how it looks.
If any part of the site is in Japanese, it will not survive the move intact
Japanese has no spaces between words, so lines break mid-name. There is nowhere to type a reading above a character. The quarter-em of air that belongs between Japanese and Latin letters is simply absent. None of this shows up in a checklist, and a native reader will not name the reason — they will only feel that the page was not finished.
We wrote three plugins for Framer that fix exactly these three things, and they are published on the Framer marketplace. That is not a claim that we understand Japanese typesetting. It is the evidence.
From $3,000
A straight migration of a site up to roughly twenty pages and one content collection, with the redirect map, the metadata, and a working contact form: from $3,000. More collections, more languages, or a redesign on top of the move are quoted on the same page as the migration, so you can see which part costs what.
We do not discount. A lower number would mean fewer hours on the part that is invisible — the redirects, the metadata, the second language — and that is the part you are paying for. If the number is wrong for you, say so and we will tell you honestly whether a smaller scope still makes sense.
Send the address of the current site and roughly how many pages it has. A written scope and a fixed number come back within two working days, at no cost and with nothing to sign.
Four weeks, and the old site stays up until the last day
The full address list, the traffic each page carries, and the redirect map. You approve the list of pages that are not moving.
Collections and layouts built in Framer. Type scale, motion, and spacing decided once and applied everywhere.
Content moved, images re-exported, metadata written page by page. Japanese typesetting applied if any of the site is in Japanese.
Staging review on phone and desktop, form tested with a real submission, redirects tested one by one. Then the switch — and the old site stays reachable until it is done.
Two rounds of revisions are included, and we work in writing. No calls are required at any point.
A fashion art director, working with an AI Creative Agent Team
KHZ ART is led by a fashion art director. The production runs on an AI Creative Agent Team — software agents, not people — which is why a build of this depth is possible at this price and at this speed. We say so on every page rather than leaving it to be discovered.
What that buys you is not volume. It is that the judgement of what belongs on a page, and what does not, is made by someone who has spent a career deciding exactly that.
Will we lose our search rankings?
Rankings follow addresses. If every old address either survives or redirects to its replacement, and the titles and descriptions come across page by page, there is nothing for search engines to lose track of. That is why the redirect map is written before anything is built, not after.
Can we keep editing the site ourselves afterwards?
Yes, and that is the reason to move. Anything that repeats is rebuilt as a collection, so a new post or project is a form your team fills in. You get the project on your own Framer account.
What does not move?
Server-side features that a hosted site cannot run — membership areas, checkout flows tied to plugins, anything reading from your own database. We name these in the written scope before you agree to anything, rather than finding them in week three.
Do you redesign at the same time?
We can, and it is quoted separately on the same page so you can see the two numbers apart. Moving and redesigning at once makes it impossible to tell which change caused which result.
Do we have to meet?
No. We work in writing, which also means every decision has a record. Time zones stop being a problem.
You use AI. Where does our material go?
Client material is not put into consumer chat tools and is not used to train anything. We can send our written position on this before you share a single file.
