Webflow Migrate Skill

Migrate your own Webflow-hosted site to a self-hosted static site. Uses wget to mirror the published site, then cleans up assets, URLs, and Webflow artifacts so it's ready to deploy anywhere.

Installation

Via skills.sh (recommended)

npx skills add stevysmith/webflow-migrate-skill

Via Claude Code plugin commands

/plugin marketplace add stevysmith/webflow-migrate-skill
/plugin install webflow-migrate@webflow-migrate-skill

After installation, the /webflow-migrate skill is available in Claude Code.

Usage

/webflow-migrate https://www.example.com/

Pass the URL of a live, publicly accessible Webflow site. The skill will:

1. Mirror the full site including CDN-hosted assets (images, CSS, JS)
2. Consolidate into a clean site/ directory structure
3. Rewrite all asset URLs to local paths
4. Fix common Webflow export issues (mangled inline styles, double-encoded URLs, broken forms, outdated copy)
5. Verify all asset references resolve correctly
6. Deploy to Render, Netlify, Vercel, or any static host

What It Handles

• Multiple CDN site IDs (site assets vs CMS content)
• Inline background-image:url() assets that wget misses
• Mangled URLs from wget --convert-links in inline styles
• Double-encoded Webflow CMS filenames (%2520, %252B, %2526)
• Subdirectory page structures (blog posts, career pages, etc.)
• Webflow data attributes and HTML comments cleanup
• Copyright year updates
• Form identification (Webflow forms won't work without their backend)

Output Structure

site/
  index.html
  about.html
  blog.html
  post/               # blog posts
  careers/             # career pages
  assets/
    css/               # stylesheets
    js/                # Webflow runtime + chunks
    images/            # all media (images, SVGs, videos)

Prerequisites

• wget must be installed (comes with macOS/Linux)
• The site must be published and publicly accessible
• Optional: Playwright MCP for visual verification

Deploy

Platform	Command
Render	Publish path: ./site
Netlify	npx netlify-cli deploy --dir=./site --prod
Vercel	npx vercel ./site --prod

Limitations

• JavaScript interactions - Webflow's JS runtime continues to work but is a monolithic ~500KB file
• CMS content - Captured as static HTML at time of mirroring; won't update dynamically
• Forms - Webflow forms won't work without their backend; use Formspree, Netlify Forms, etc.
• Site search - Webflow's native search won't work; use Algolia, Pagefind, or similar
