By Mehdi HassanHow much does it cost to rebuild a Framer site in Next.js?
Rebuilding a Framer site in Next.js typically costs somewhere in the range agencies quote for migrations generally, which our research put at $1.5k to $25k depending on size. Where a project lands depends on unique templates, CMS collections, languages and how much custom animation you need to recreate.
The number is wide because there's no export step to price. Every page is rebuilt, so a five-page brochure site and a multilingual site with a blog, case studies and an integrations directory are different projects. If you haven't decided to leave yet, our hub on leaving Framer helps you check whether a rebuild is the right exit at all.
Scope | What it includes | Typical quotes we see |
|---|---|---|
Small site | Up to about 6 templates, light motion, no CMS or a simple blog | Lower end of the $1.5k–$25k migration range |
Mid-size site | 10 to 20 pages, two or three CMS collections, custom animation | Middle of the range |
Large or multilingual site | Many collections, several locales, integrations | Upper end of the range and beyond |
Comparable headless rebuild | WordPress to headless Next.js, for reference | £13k–£30k and 6 to 12 weeks quoted |
These are ranges we see quoted, and they vary by agency, region and how much design work is bundled in. Use them to sanity-check a quote, not to set a budget.
What drives Framer to Next.js migration cost?
Five things drive Framer to Next.js migration cost: unique templates, CMS collections, locales, custom animation and integrations. Total page count matters much less, because fifty blog posts share one template.
- Unique templates. Each distinct layout is designed in code once. Ten pages built from four templates costs less than six one-off pages.
- CMS collections. Each collection needs a schema, a template, listing pages and an import script. References between collections add work.
- Locales. Each language adds routing, translated content, hreflang tags and QA. It's often why teams leave Framer, so budget it honestly.
- Custom animation. Scroll-linked sequences and page transitions take far longer to rebuild than simple fades. Our Framer to Next.js migration guide maps each Framer effect to its Motion equivalent.
- Integrations. Forms to your CRM, analytics, A/B testing and gated content each add setup and testing time.
Does AI make a Framer to Next.js rebuild cheaper?
AI makes the build part of a rebuild cheaper and faster, but not the parts that protect your traffic and conversions. Coding agents can turn screenshots and specs into components quickly, while planning, content decisions, SEO and QA still need people.
Our research found public accounts of agent-led rebuilds off other platforms finishing in days, including one reported at three days and $260 in usage. The same research concluded that the real cost of a code migration is still SEO and QA, not tokens. In practice, AI shifts budget from typing code to checking it. We describe that workflow in Framer to code with AI.
Work | AI speeds it up? | Why |
|---|---|---|
Component and page build | A lot | Agents write layout code from screenshots and tokens |
Content import scripts | Yes | Mapping CSV to a CMS schema is mechanical |
Animation matching | Somewhat | Timing and feel still need human review |
URL mapping and redirects | Little | Needs judgment about what to keep and merge |
Device QA and launch | Little | Someone has to test real phones and forms |

Migration work such as content import and redirects is scoped on the intro call, and we include redirects and SEO checks in any migration we take on. We count designed pages, not CMS items, so a blog with hundreds of posts doesn't change the page count. Our pricing lists every package.
Hypothetical example: pricing a 10-page Framer site
For example, suppose a startup's Framer site has ten designed pages (home, product, pricing, about, careers, contact, blog index, blog post, case study index, case study) and two CMS collections.
Under our website package that's $8,000 for the first six pages plus $2,000 for the four extra pages, so $10,000 for design and build. The blog and case study content import, the redirect sheet and the SEO checks are scoped on the intro call based on how many items and URLs there are.
The same site with three languages would need its localization scoped separately, because each locale adds content, routing and QA.
What ongoing costs come after the migration?
After a Framer to Next.js migration you pay for hosting, a CMS if it's hosted, and developer time for updates and new pages. Framer bundled all of that into a plan, so leaving moves costs into separate lines rather than removing them.
Hosting a marketing site on Vercel or Cloudflare can be cheap at startup traffic levels, and a self-hosted CMS like Payload has no license fee, though it still needs a database and hosting. The larger cost is people: dependency updates, small fixes and new layouts. Compare the full picture over several years in Webflow vs Framer vs Next.js total cost, and for a code-first build's price drivers, see Next.js website cost.
How do you avoid overpaying for a Framer migration?
You avoid overpaying by cutting scope before the rebuild, sending a precise brief and checking what each quote includes. Most overspend comes from rebuilding pages nobody visits and from quotes that leave SEO work out.
- Delete or merge low-value pages before the inventory, so you don't pay to rebuild them.
- Send every vendor the same list of templates, collections, locales and integrations.
- Ask each quote to name redirects, metadata, sitemap and device QA explicitly.
- Ask who hosts and maintains the site after launch, and what that costs.
- Consider keeping Framer with a headless CMS if the CMS is your only problem.
Is a Framer to Next.js migration worth the cost?
A Framer to Next.js migration is worth the cost when ownership, localization at scale or product integration has real value to you. It isn't worth it for a marketing site that works on Framer and only needs a bigger plan.
