Data Transfer Guide

Framer doesn't offer direct export functionality for complete site migration. Start by manually copying all text content from your Framer CMS and pages. Use browser developer tools or third-party crawlers to download images and media assets. For structured data like blog posts, consider using Framer's API if available or manual CSV export. In Hostinger AI Builder, use the AI content generator to help reformat and optimize transferred text. Upload media through the drag-and-drop interface, organizing files in logical folders. Recreate forms and interactive elements using Hostinger's built-in tools, copying field configurations from your Framer setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Framer to Hostinger AI Builder?+

Yes, but the transfer is manual since Framer doesn't offer direct export. You'll need to copy content and media, then recreate designs in Hostinger's editor. The process requires careful planning but is straightforward for most websites.

How long does migration take?+

For a typical small business website, expect 2-5 days including content transfer, design recreation, and testing. Complex sites with custom functionality may take 1-2 weeks. DNS propagation adds 24-48 hours after launch.

Will I lose any features switching to Hostinger AI Builder?+

You may lose some advanced design controls and prototyping features Framer offers. However, you gain integrated hosting, e-commerce capabilities, and more comprehensive SEO tools. Most business website features have direct equivalents or suitable alternatives.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, maintain your Framer site live while building the Hostinger version. Use a subdomain or password protection for the new site during development. This allows testing without affecting your current website until you're ready to switch completely.

Is Hostinger AI Builder cheaper than Framer?+

Hostinger's paid plans start lower than Framer's professional tiers and include hosting and domain. For business websites needing hosting, Hostinger often provides better value. However, Framer's free tier may suit prototyping needs better for some users.
