How Much Does a WordPress to Webflow Migration Cost in 2026? Real Ranges and What Moves the Number

You ask for three quotes to migrate the same site and they come back with 8,000, 19,000 and 42,000 dollars. You are not losing your mind. They are quoting different things and none of them explains that to you.

Here is the answer up front: market ranges for 2026 run from 2,500 dollars to six figures, and the number you land on is not decided by how many pages you have. It is decided by your CMS.

Before we go on, the obvious part: we sell migrations. Read what follows with that distance. I would still rather you understand how the number gets built, even if you end up doing it with someone else.

The ranges you are about to google do not agree with each other

You search for the price, you find four articles, and each one hands you a different table. That alone does not help you. But the gap between the tables does say something.

Lil Big Things publishes these ranges for 2026: a small site of 5 to 15 pages with little CMS, between 2,500 and 8,000 dollars. A mid-size site of 15 to 40 pages, between 8,000 and 25,000. A large site of 40 to 100 pages with a complex CMS, between 25,000 and 75,000, and above that you enter enterprise territory, from 75,000 to 200,000.

Creative Corner Studio, same year, measures something else. Under 50 pages: between 5,000 and 30,000. Mid-market B2B of 50 to 200 pages: between 15,000 and 50,000. From 200 to 500 pages: between 30,000 and 100,000.

Look at the overlap. A 40-page site of yours is worth 8,000 according to one source and 30,000 according to the other.

Neither one is lying. Both use the worst possible variable as their axis: page count. And it is exactly the variable you will see in the quote that lands in your inbox tomorrow.

The quote counts pages. The work lives in the CMS

A static page gets designed, built and finished. There the count works. The problem starts when the site has collections.

A CMS collection has to be architected before you touch it: what fields it carries, of what type, what relationship it has with the other collections, what happens with the filters, how it behaves when someone loads a title three times longer than planned. Then you migrate the items. Only then does QA begin.

That is why a 12-page site with four interconnected collections costs more than a 60-page flat one, because the work is not in drawing screens but in deciding how the content relates to itself and in proving it does not break when the content grows. It sounds backwards until you have to do it.

The other three factors that move the number you will recognize:

• Integrations. A simple form-to-CRM connection takes 20 to 50 hours, roughly 2,000 to 5,000 dollars. A two-way API sync with HubSpot or Salesforce runs from 10,000 to 50,000, according to Creative Corner.
• A redesign at the same time. Add between 40% and 80%. It is another project inside the project and it is worth calling it by its name.
• Animations and microinteractions. Between 15% and 30% more.

If you got a low quote and none of these four things is broken out, you did not get a cheap price. You got a smaller scope than the one you need.

The three line items almost nobody shows you

They send you the quote, you approve it, and in week six a request for additional budget shows up. Over and over, the surprise comes out of the same three places.

Content cleanup is the most underestimated of the three. Lil Big Things estimates 20 to 40 hours per 100 pages just to tidy up what already exists, and quotes blog post migration at 15 to 50 dollars per post. With 300 blog posts, which is normal in a B2B that has been publishing for five years, that stops being a detail and becomes its own line in the budget.

Redirects are the point where real money gets lost. Webflow lets you upload them by CSV but without regex or wildcards with exceptions: on a large site it is manual work, one by one. If the quote does not mention mapping old URLs to new ones, that risk exists anyway, it just is not priced. We cover it in full in the piece on migrating without losing SEO.

And then there is the content nobody wants to migrate but nobody dares delete either, those 80 old posts that bring no traffic and that someone once defended in a meeting. That decision gets postponed until the project drags.

It always ends in "let's migrate everything". And everything gets paid for.

What you pay every month changed this year

You do the project math and you forget the recurring cost. It is the most common mistake, and in 2026 it comes with a new trap: Webflow restructured its plans.

The old CMS and Business plans are gone. Now there is a single Premium plan at 25 dollars per month billed annually, which includes 20,000 CMS items across 40 collections. Below it sits Basic at 15 dollars, which has no CMS and only works for a landing page or a brochure site that publishes nothing.

On top of the site plan you pay for the Workspace, which is where your team edits: Core at 19 dollars per month, Growth at 49. For a typical B2B the math lands at around 44 dollars a month between Premium and Core.

Then there is a step worth knowing about before you sign: Platform Team, 2,500 dollars per month on an annual contract with 100 collections. Enterprise is custom. The jump is brutal and you do not need it unless you are a large organization with many sites.

Now go look up what you pay today: hosting, plugin licenses, the security one, the backup one, the forms one, the cache one. And add the hours of the person who keeps all of that running, the one who updates versions, the one who checks when a plugin breaks another one, the one who answers when the site goes down on a Friday.

That last line is the one that never shows up in the comparison. Without it, the math is incomplete.

How to read a quote without being technical

You do not need to understand CMS work to tell whether you were quoted properly. You need to see whether the document itemizes or generalizes.

Ask the proposal to break out, first, the URL inventory with the redirect plan and the exact number of URLs to map. Second, the CMS architecture: how many collections, what fields, what relationships. Third, the integrations one by one, with the estimated hours for each.

Then come the two that prevent the most arguments. One is what content gets migrated and what does not, decided and written down before you start. The other is what happens after launch: training, the support period included, and what gets billed separately.

If all five are there, the number is trustworthy even when it is high, because whoever built it had to look at your site for real in order to write them.

And one warning sign worth more than all the others: if you get a closed number on the first call, without anyone having seen the site or asked about the CMS, that number is going up. It is not a quote, it is bait.

Where you can cut without paying for it later

You want to bring the budget down. Fine, you can, but there are two lists and mixing them is expensive.

You can cut the redesign: migrate first with your current design adapted and redesign in a planned phase two, not an improvised one. You can cut the animations. And you can leave out the historical blog archive that no longer ranks, along with the secondary pages that barely get any traffic.

You cannot cut redirect mapping, CMS architecture, QA on forms and integrations, or training for your team. Saving there is borrowing at an awful rate: you pay it back in six months, with interest, in the form of technical debt.

There is one more thing that lowers the number and does not depend on the agency. Every hour your team spends cleaning content before the project starts is an hour nobody has to quote.

If you are still deciding whether to migrate at all, this is not your conversation: we have that one over here. If you already decided, keep reading, because the part most people ignore is still coming.

The quote is not the number, it is the list

Two proposals with the same total can be one complete project and one surprise waiting in week six. The total does not tell you which is which. The list does.

So when you compare, do not sort them by price. Sort them by how many of those five things they break out. The cheapest one on that list usually is, genuinely, the cheapest.

And I know what you are thinking: that you will end up choosing by number anyway, because someone above you is going to look at the total and nothing else. It happens often and it is not your fault. That is why it pays to bring the scope comparison written down and on a single page, before the conversation shrinks to three figures in an email that someone forwards without context.

If you want us to look at your site and tell you which range it falls into before you go asking for quotes, then yes: Better Call Ander.Agency.

What everyone asks once they see the range

The numbers above open more questions than they close, and it is almost always the same five. Here they are, answered without detours.
