Webflow handoff

What handoff documentation covers

The handoff details what's being migrated from your old site—content, design elements, functionality. It explains what the new architecture looks like and why we've made specific technical choices. This transparency ensures you understand exactly what's changing.

We document how to request archived assets from the old site. Need something from the previous Webflow build? The handoff explains retrieval processes. We also outline what to expect during transition—timelines, testing phases, and launch steps.

Why proper handoff matters

Moving between platforms creates continuity risks. Content might not migrate perfectly. Design elements may need adaptation. Features might work differently. Handoff documentation addresses these changes proactively, preventing surprises.

For clients with team members who weren't involved in the decision to migrate, handoffs provide context. Why did we move away from Webflow? What improvements does the new stack deliver? Handoffs answer these questions for stakeholders catching up.

Content migration approach

We review existing content systematically, identifying what to carry forward, what to consolidate, and what to retire. Not everything deserves migration—outdated content or redundant pages often get left behind intentionally.

The handoff documents these decisions. If content doesn't migrate, you'll know why. If pages consolidate, you'll see the new structure. If redirects are needed, they're mapped explicitly.

Technical transition details

Handoffs cover technical differences: how Fernside CMS compares to Webflow's editor, how deployments work via Cloudflare Pages versus Webflow hosting, how you request changes through ticketed support versus Webflow's interface.

This practical guidance helps teams adapt quickly. Understanding new workflows prevents confusion and ensures smooth transitions from old platforms to modern static builds.
