Can I move a Framer site to WordPress without rebuilding by hand?

The code export plus the converter gets you the structure automatically: templates, styles and editable sections. The manual part is limited to Framer-native features like CMS content, animations and hosted forms.

Does Framer export WordPress themes?

No. Framer exports static code only. That export is what ShipToWP consumes and turns into an installable WordPress theme, so Framer stays a design step in the pipeline, not the hosting.

Which Framer pages convert best?

Final, static pages. Convert after the design is locked, because pages whose layout still changes mean re-exporting and re-converting.

Framer to WordPress: Convert a Framer Site Into a WordPress Theme

Framer designs look fantastic and stay locked in Framer. Exporting the code and re-platforming to WordPress is the way out, and ShipToWP automates the ugly half. Upload your Framer code export and get WordPress templates with editable sections, enqueued assets, and a live preview you can inspect without signing up.

Convert my Framer export How it works

Example conversion: a Framer export becomes a theme

Your Framer site has a home page, a product page and a pricing page, and the design is final. On your paid plan you select the pages and export the code, which gives you static HTML and CSS.

That export goes into ShipToWP. The converter reads the markup and styles and rebuilds the pages as WordPress templates with shared header and footer parts and the assets enqueued the WordPress way.

The preview shows what the theme looks like running. Download it, install under Appearance > Themes on your own WordPress, and every section is editable in your dashboard without a Framer seat.

Accepted input: what to export from Framer

01Open the site in the Framer editor. Code export requires a paid Framer plan.
02Select the pages you want, open the code export option in the top bar and download the static export.
03Upload the resulting zip here. A single exported page saved as index.html is accepted as well.

ShipToWP also accepts a single index.html file, so one-page builds never need the zip step.

What you get

A WordPress theme zip that installs on any self-hosted WordPress 6.x site.
One page template per exported page, with the header and footer split into shared theme parts.
Stylesheets and scripts the export ships are enqueued the WordPress way instead of inlined on every page.
Content structured as section blocks: edit copy in the dashboard, extend with Elementor or the block editor.
A live preview of the converted theme before you download, free and with no sign-up.

Framer exports clean static HTML and CSS per page, which is ideal input. What Framer builds on top of that, like its animation runtime and CMS, is outside the export and therefore outside the conversion. The theme you get is standard WordPress: templates, sections and enqueued assets.

Framer to WordPress: best for, and not for

Best for

Final Framer designs that a client insists on running in WordPress.
Marketing sites where most sections are static and just the copy changes.
Teams that want to keep editing visually in WordPress or Elementor instead of paying per Framer site.
Preserving the exported layout while gaining the WordPress plugin ecosystem.

Not for

Framer CMS collections. Their content does not migrate; rebuild it as WordPress posts or pages.
Animations driven by the Framer runtime. Exported pages carry the markup, not the live motion logic.
Sites on a free Framer plan, since code export is not available there.
WooCommerce, multilingual automation, or Framer-hosting replacement features like their form service.

How to run the framer to wordpress conversion

01Put the files together exactly as the steps above describe them: a zip of the built HTML, or a single index.html.
02Open the converter and drop the file in. The live preview builds without an account.
03Check every page in the preview, then download the theme zip. The conversion hub lists the other supported sources.

Install the theme on WordPress

In your WordPress dashboard go to Appearance > Themes, click Add New, then Upload Theme. Choose the zip ShipToWP gave you, press Install Now and activate. The site runs on your own hosting from that moment; there is no ShipToWP plugin or account dependency left in the theme.

Limitations and editing after conversion

Conversion rebuilds structure, not server logic. Expect these polish items after activating the theme:

Framer form blocks export as markup. Connect them to a WordPress form plugin after installing the theme.
Scroll effects and Framer-native interactions need rebuilding with a WordPress-compatible tool or plain CSS.
Re-create CMS-driven pages (blog indexes, team lists) as real WordPress content after activation.
Menus, widgets and site identity stay editable in the standard WordPress places.
