Migrate

Move from Webflow to Kaleta.

Kaleta imports a Webflow CMS collection from its CSV export – blog posts become news with their images, categories and tags – and brings the static pages in by the site’s address. Old addresses redirect with a 301, and Claude reworks the layout as drafts in your design system.

Built-in importer + website import

A day or two for a typical business website

What comes across.

  • CMS collection items, for example blog posts, become news – one collection per CSV file
  • Each item’s category, tags, summary, main image and publication date
  • Draft and archived items as hidden news
  • Static pages, imported from the live site by its address
  • Images, downloaded into Media from Webflow’s image servers
  • Other collections (team, references) as Kaleta collections, with Claude
  • Your addresses, redirected with 301 – and links on the site that still point to an old address are rewritten

What does not.

  • Interactions and animations – Kaleta has simpler scroll animations
  • Webflow e-commerce
  • Custom code embeds – check each one; scripts are not allowed in builder content

Step by step

How the move works.

No command line. Test everything on a subdomain first; the old site keeps running until you switch the domain.

  1. Install Kaleta – on a test subdomain and choose the starter site closest to your current one.
  2. Import the pages – in Administration → Import and export → Import from a website, enter the address of your Webflow site. Kaleta finds the pages, shows what it found, then brings them in as hidden pages with their images and redirects the old addresses.
  3. Import the collection – in the Webflow Designer open CMS → the collection → Export and download the .csv file. In Kaleta open Import and export → From another system, choose Webflow and upload it. In the preview enter the collection’s address with its folder (for example https://www.example.com/blog) so the redirects match, choose what becomes what and start the import. No API key is needed.
  4. Rebuild with Claude – connect Claude and run the ready-made task migrate_site: it reworks the imported pages in your design system as drafts and can put other collections into Kaleta collections; you check the previews.
  5. Check and switch – run Check the move before going live in Import and export: every old address is checked against the new site. Fix what it finds, put the pages in the menu, publish, and point the domain to the new site.

Rebuild with Claude

Let Claude redo the pages.

Connect Claude, give it an old page – its address or saved HTML – and it rebuilds it as a draft from Kaleta sections, in your design system. You review the preview and publish.

How Claude works with Kaleta

Here is our old Services page. Rebuild it in Kaleta with our colours, keep the texts and redirect the old address.

Done – the Services page is saved as a draft with a 301 redirect from the old address. Here is the preview link.

Keep your rankings

An SEO checklist for the switch.

Redirects do most of the work. These few steps do the rest.

Keep the same domain and switch it over only when the new site is ready

Open your most visited old URLs and check they redirect to the right page

Set titles and descriptions for your main pages

Submit the new sitemap (/sitemap.xml) in Google Search Console

Set the company details – search engines get them as structured data

FAQ

Moving questions.

Is there an importer?

Yes, two that work together. From another system imports a CMS collection from Webflow’s CSV export, and Import from a website brings in the static pages by the site’s address with their images and redirects. Neither takes the layout – Claude reworks each page from Kaleta sections as a draft you check.

Will I lose my search rankings?

Not if old addresses keep working. Both importers create 301 redirects, and the migration report checks every old address before you switch the domain – Claude can add any redirect that is missing.

Can Claude recreate my Webflow classes?

It rebuilds the look with Kaleta design tokens and shared classes, matching colours, fonts and spacing. It does not copy Webflow class names one to one.
