Data Transfer Guide

Export content from 10Web using WordPress's built-in export tool (found in Tools → Export). This generates an XML file containing posts, pages, comments, and basic content. For media files, manually download your entire media library from 10Web's dashboard. In Framer, create corresponding CMS collections for your content types. Manually copy text content from your XML file into Framer's text components and CMS entries. Upload media files to Framer's asset manager. For complex data like user accounts or e-commerce products, you'll need to use CSV imports or manual recreation since there's no direct automated transfer between these platforms. Consider using intermediate tools like spreadsheets to organize content before importing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from 10Web to Framer?+
You can transfer content manually via export/import, but there's no automated migration tool. Export WordPress content from 10Web as XML, then manually recreate pages and upload media in Framer's editor.
How long does migration take?+
For a typical small business site, expect 2-5 days of active work. Complex sites with custom functionality may take 1-2 weeks. The timeline depends on site complexity and how much design recreation is needed.
Will I lose any features switching to Framer?+
You'll lose WordPress-specific features like plugins, but gain Framer's design advantages. Some advanced WordPress functionality may need recreation using Framer's components or third-party integrations.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, maintain your 10Web site live while building the Framer version. Only switch DNS when the new site is ready. This allows testing and prevents downtime during the transition period.
Is Framer cheaper than 10Web?+
Pricing varies by needs. Framer's free tier is generous, while paid plans start at $15/month. 10Web starts at $10/month but may require additional costs for plugins. Compare based on your specific feature requirements.
