Moving from HubSpot to Webflow: the short answer

Yes, you can move from HubSpot to Webflow and keep HubSpot as your CRM (customer relationship management) and marketing tool. Webflow runs the website. HubSpot keeps your contacts, form data, email and sales workflows. Forms and tracking connect the two.

The migration is a structure and tracking job. You map every URL, rebuild every form, reinstall every tracking script and test them before launch. Leads then keep flowing into the same CRM.

Nobody can guarantee your rankings or revenue after a move, including us. This guide is for B2B marketing leads and founders whose site runs on HubSpot CMS. It does not cover moves to other platforms or rebuilding HubSpot-only features in depth.

Key takeaways

  • Keep HubSpot for CRM and email. Move only the website.
  • Audit URLs, forms and tracking before you build anything.
  • Redirects and form connections decide whether leads and rankings survive.
  • A one-page site takes 3-4 business days. A full migration runs in sprints of three weeks or longer.

Why teams move from HubSpot to Webflow

The main reason to consider Webflow is control over design and the front end. In Webflow, designers build pages visually and publish from that build. Marketers edit content without a developer through Webflow's Content editor role on limited or client seats, while building new pages from components needs the Marketer role.

With HubSpot's CMS (content management system), your website lives in the same platform as your CRM and marketing tools. Webflow treats the site and the CRM as two systems, and forms and tracking connect them. Webflow's editing model has also changed: it fully retired the legacy Editor on October 5, 2026, so plan Content editor seats for the people who update the site.

Page speed depends on how you build the site as well as the platform. Webflow says its hosting combines AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare's global CDN. A lean build makes it easier to keep Core Web Vitals in a healthy range. Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for loading, responsiveness and visual stability.

When not to move: your site depends on features that only work when HubSpot hosts the pages. Examples are personalized smart content, private member pages or workflows tied to CMS pages. You would need to rebuild or replace each one. Which of these features you have depends on your HubSpot plan, so check your plan on HubSpot's site first.

The keep, move or rebuild check. Find your situation in this table before you decide:

Your situationOur advice
Mostly pages, blog and formsMove to Webflow
Custom layouts or theme changes need a developer (HubSpot's drag-and-drop editor covers simple edits)Move to Webflow
Smart content drives key pagesStay, or plan a rebuild
Member pages or CMS-tied workflowsStay on HubSpot CMS

If your team runs personalization and member areas inside HubSpot daily, one platform can be simpler than rebuilding those parts elsewhere.

What moves, what stays, what gets rebuilt

Most of the site moves, and the marketing engine stays in HubSpot. The table shows each part:

FormsRebuild and reconnectSubmissions still go to HubSpot
Smart content and CTAsRebuild or replaceHubSpot-only features
Email, CRM, workflowsStay in HubSpotContacts unchanged
Tracking code and GA4 eventsReinstall and testTest before launch

Blog posts usually move into a Webflow CMS collection, with fields for title, author, date, summary and body. Static pages are rebuilt from shared components, so the layout stays consistent. Multilingual sites need a plan per language: Webflow Localize is billed per locale on site plans (see Webflow pricing).

A CTA (call to action) is the button or link that asks the visitor for one next step, such as booking a demo. If you created your CTAs in HubSpot, rebuild them as buttons or components in Webflow. Then track each one as an event.

GA4 (Google Analytics 4) is Google's current analytics product. GA4 events record actions such as form submissions and CTA clicks. You must set these events up again on the new site, because they depend on the page code. For form leads, Google lists generate_lead as a recommended event name.

How to migrate from HubSpot to Webflow step by step

Work in this order. Each step depends on the one before it.

  1. Audit. List every page, URL, form and tracking script on the HubSpot site. Pull traffic and top landing pages from GA4 and Google Search Console. This shows which pages bring in traffic and leads. Include blog tag and author pages, PDFs and images stored in HubSpot, and gated content behind forms. Give every URL with Search Console clicks or backlinks its own redirect target.
  2. Map structure and content model. Decide which pages keep their URL, which merge and which retire. Define CMS collections for blog posts and other repeating content.
  3. Design and build in Webflow. Build from a reusable component system, so your team can add pages later without breaking the layout.
  4. Connect forms to HubSpot. See the next section.
  5. Set up 301 redirects (permanent redirects) and metadata. Map each old URL to its closest new page in a sheet with three columns: old URL, new URL, status. For example, /blog/old-post-slug redirects to /blog/new-post-slug, and a retired page goes to its closest topic page, not the homepage. Carry over titles and descriptions.
  6. Test tracking and forms, then launch. Submit test entries. Check that contacts appear in HubSpot and that GA4 records the events. Our guide to Google Analytics on Webflow covers the GA4 setup.
  7. Monitor after launch. In Search Console, watch for crawl errors and 404 pages. In GA4, watch for drops in form submissions.

Timing depends on scope. A one-page site takes 3-4 business days. A full website runs in sprints of three weeks or longer. We set the exact timeline after the first call, once we see your scope.

How to connect Webflow forms to HubSpot

You have three options:

  • Embed HubSpot forms on Webflow pages.
  • Use native Webflow forms and map the submissions to HubSpot.
  • Use a connector tool such as Make.

Webflow's Apps Marketplace has a HubSpot app, approved by Webflow. It covers the first two options and adds HubSpot tracking, without custom code.

Choose embedded HubSpot forms when your marketing team changes forms often, because the team keeps editing them in HubSpot. Choose native Webflow forms when the form must match your design exactly, and map each field to a HubSpot contact property: for example, work email to Email, company name to Company, and a hidden field for the UTM source.

Test whichever option you choose. A test submission should create a contact in HubSpot and carry the source data your sales team relies on. Our Webflow and HubSpot integration guide walks through the setup.

How to protect SEO during the move

Keep URLs where you can, and redirect where you cannot. Google's guide to site moves with URL changes describes the process: map old URLs to new ones and set up permanent redirects.

SEO (search engine optimization) depends on details. For every page, carry over the title, meta description, heading structure, image alt text and canonical tag. Then publish an XML sitemap.

After launch, submit the sitemap in Search Console. Then watch the indexing reports for pages Google cannot reach.

Test SEO, CRM and consent together at launch. A redirect that drops UTM parameters, a form that sends no source data to HubSpot, or a GA4 tag that fires before consent: each one means fewer leads in your reports. Check them in one test run, and remember that tracking covers consenting visitors only.

Rankings can dip for a while after a move, while Google recrawls and processes the new URLs. Google's own site move guide expects temporary ranking fluctuation.

What a HubSpot to Webflow project costs and who does it

Cost depends on page count, content volume, integrations and tracking. Landing pages (one-page sites) typically start at €1,000. Larger migrations get a custom offer after a first call. These are our own typical starting points, not a market benchmark.

We are a two-person, senior-led studio in Warsaw, co-founded by Vlad Levun and Maria Fedosenko. Vlad leads design. Maria leads marketing, creative ideas and creative strategy. You get senior design and marketing without hiring both roles in-house. Already have a designer or developer? We work alongside them, or build from a design you already have. See our B2B website design service for the scope.

Case study: a Webflow build the client team edits themselves

We built Simca's Webflow site from a finished design. The goal was a fast, maintainable site that the Simca team updates themselves, without calling a developer for every change. Both cases are Webflow builds, not HubSpot migrations.

For FBA, we built a multilingual Webflow site. We rewrote the positioning and copy, redesigned the site architecture, and built the site with SEO setup and conversion tracking.

Our hands-on work is Webflow design, development, CMS set-up and QA. The HubSpot-side steps in this guide follow HubSpot's, Webflow's and Google's own documentation.

How we run a HubSpot to Webflow project

We are a senior studio in Warsaw that joins your team and handles brand, website and marketing end to end. You work directly with the founders. There are no account managers in between.

After the first call, we get to know your business, goals and audience. Then we send a custom offer, not a fixed package. In the first phase, we:

  1. Run a kickoff session.
  2. Get access to your current site, GA4, Search Console, brand materials and sales insights.
  3. Agree on scope, timeline and what success looks like.

We set the timing after the first call. The founders show you progress every week. After launch we stay on for SEO, campaigns and site improvements.

We do not guarantee revenue, rankings or conversion numbers. We commit to structure: clear positioning, a deliberate CTA hierarchy with one primary action per page, and tracking, so you can measure results and improve them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep HubSpot as my CRM after moving to Webflow?

Yes. Only the website layer changes. Your forms keep sending submissions to HubSpot contacts, and your email, workflows and sales pipeline stay where they are.

Will I lose my rankings when I move from HubSpot to Webflow?

Not necessarily. 301 redirects, preserved metadata and a clear page structure limit the risk. Rankings can fluctuate for a while after the move, and nobody can guarantee them.

How long does a HubSpot to Webflow migration take?

A one-page site takes 3-4 business days. A full website runs in sprints of three weeks or longer, depending on page count, content volume and integrations. We confirm the timeline after the first call.

Do HubSpot tracking and analytics still work on Webflow?

Yes, once you install the HubSpot tracking code and your GA4 events and test them before launch. Tracking covers consenting visitors only. Consent rules apply across the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and ad blockers and cross-device B2B journeys also leave gaps.

Closing

Moving from HubSpot to Webflow works when you keep HubSpot as your CRM, rebuild forms and tracking deliberately, and redirect every old URL. The next step is an audit of your URLs, forms and tracking, which you can talk through with us using the call link above.
